Just read that the TNT execs had the time of their lives and want to pay a lot more for the next 4 year contract!

AEW didn't post any clips of the MJF promo on their social media. Committing to the angle...

Not gonna complain about The Bucks vs Lucha Bro's #5 or 6 in AEW because it will be great but there is no way to top that cage match.

I hate to shit in everyone's oatmeal, but someone has to.
I mentioned 2 things could go horribly wrong. Here were my guesses. 1. Max Caster going too far on the mic. 2. Moxley working like Moxley and not dialing it back. I almost said three, with MJF going a bit too far. If I had, I would have been 2/3. Best case scenario is the Executives not showing up. Because a TV guy seeing a guy drop an F Bomb (it wasn't censored live) or seeing Moxley bleed all over the place may not leave the best taste in their mouth. I probably would have let MJF sell the beating this week and maybe, just maybe, put someone Other than Moxley in that match. I mean, it's not like they don't have a shit basket of people they don't use. But, I'm not Booker of the Year. Good luck with that new deal. |

What makes you think the execs care?
The execs who purchased and now run HBO are now supposed to be squeamish and unable to handle anything non PG? Gimme a break... |

Also, there's the whole thing that isn't wrestling related. They are two weeks removed from trying to sell advertisers (half-assedly) on AEW. They show up to the programming and seeing a guy on the edge of Prime Time bleeding all over the place. You pay to watch HBO (at least that was the model back in the day.) You don't have to pay to watch TBS. So they rely on Advertisers more. If they say "we can't get advertisers to watch this." They may be in trouble. If they don't think they can sell advertising during commercial breaks, it doesn't matter what the Demo is or the ratings are, there is no show. And it really only takes one executive who is predisposed NOT to like wrestling to run them off the programming. |

I def thought they would avoid blood and too much cursing but they just went "all out"... Wondering if Tony Khan got the "OK" from the execs beforehand because otherwise does seem risky to do that while they're watching... in case you get even one of them who doesn't like that type of stuff

I'm sure the Network that airs American Dad right after Dynamite is very concerned about keeping it PG

Last night (pre-Dynamite) I was convinced the MJF situation was a/had been turned into a work to pave the way to Punk/MJF. Now after MJF cuts a pipe bomb I’m certain. They’re setting up MJF in the mould of Punk (disgruntled and disprespected) and Punk as the company guy, it’s role reversal and MJF will call it out. Punk’s gonna be the guy saying “know your place, put in the hours” and Max is gonna be the guy calling Punk out as a hypocrite.
The “I’m the Best In The World” was way too on the nose. |

You guys need to catch up on the kind of shows TNT produces, try Animal Kingdom, makes AEW look like Nickelodean.

I think that was just Punk coming out to support his co-worker and shut people up.
MJF clearly took it the wrong way. |

Wait, did they not show Freddie Prinze Jr on the show last night even though he was 3 seats down from Macaulay Culkin?

And apparently that’s not Alicia Fox sitting next to Prinze? It’s another woman who looks exactly like Alicia Fox whose name is also Alicia but is not Alicia Fox.

The MJF segment, while a work, was pretty cool to watch. He's a very rare talent in this day and age that actually lives his gimmick in and out of the ring. The real life Max has become MJF completely and I admire that. I wonder what he's really like backastage or if he stays in character in the back as well. The guy is money and a huge asset to the industry
