Ha, this popped me. But seriously, it will be Rollins/Reigns vs. Lashley/Corbin. Get real.

You could tell. Genuine emotion came out of both men.

Not a Game of Thrones fan, I thought the throne-breaking was awesome. They are living off being the other right now. Cody’s gimmick is that he is the EVP from a royal wrestling family. AEW is different. That was the point. And it worked in front of that crowd. When you see Triple H take four minutes to get to the ring at Super Showdown or Mania next year, you can remember that moment as a relevant critique of why we need new in wrestling.

Goldust character was so good, imagine what he could have been doing for the last 10 years with stories and direction as he got older. A great character and performer could have told some amazing stories and, like so many others, a massive portion of his career has been wasted doing nothing important every week.
I hear the point, and it would have been nice if wrestling was wrestling over the past twenty years or whatever. But Dustin had a lot pent up. Having something to prove probably pushed him a little bit.

It's called hypocrisy.

Belts don't mean anything, oh but this brand new one does.

It's the same problem I have with HHH saying something like "Guardians of the Indies" but then signing a bunch of Indy guys.

Hypocrisy is Hypocrisy regardless of which brand said guy works for.

Had JR not said that shit, I wouldn't have thought of it during the AEW title reveal.
Lol, you’re working a bit hard to bury this thing. JR was talking about the way WWE treats their belts. Maybe he was even thinking about how New Japan has too many? But he wasn’t saying that AEW’s are immediately going to be shit.
