I know you jest but one day a Jarret stable would probably awesome. But for now they have Dan Lambert and Don Callis I don't know if they need another amazing heel manager. I am actually a huge Jarrett mark after listening to his podcast now. He's an amazing guy.

Jeff Jarrett, with a cape, and Gail Kim, with a cane, should announce on Wednesday they have purchased AEW from Tony Khan as the evil on-air authority figures

There will also always be Charlotte rumors as long as she's with Andrade (and they pissed Ric off causing him to quit) but I have no idea when her contract is up feel like WWE would drive a dump truck full of money up to her house.

Similar to the way Vince & co saw how big of a gold mine embracing social media could be for the company after Zack Ryder's success, they saw the money their talent was raking in from third party deals and wanted it all for themselves instead. Plus it helps keep the investors happy after them being pissed over the Saudi deals and other issues these past couple years. |

A few months ago I would have thought it was a small list, but after they started releasing main event world champions, just about anybody there has to question their job security. Also, why would anybody want to sign a new deal with WWE when WWE can just release them at any time and only have to pay them during their non compete.
I am guessing since AEW has not released hardly anybody, that the wrestlers have far more trust in an AEW contract being honored over a WWE contract. |

Man what a crazzzzy time. This is so reminiscent of switched between WCW and WWF right now. Feels so familiar. But that was so long ago, when I was a kid! AEW bringing up that kind of excitement.

Time will tell if cramming Cole and BD into the same 30 seconds was wise or not but give them credit for getting them here to begin with. I get what Fignuts said and it's valid but they're trying to set the world on fire and you can make the argument that bringing Cole in as soon as possible after his deal expires is a big FU to Samford that's just as big a deal to the locker room as it is the show.

Danielson, like Punk before him, said how AEW handled the Brodie Lee situation was a big factor in his decision to join.
I wish he was still here. |

Ruby was def the right person to win there. The title match will prob be on TV, so they def should save Thunder Rosa for later, for a PPV match. Rosa should be the one to take the belt off Baker, but it's too soon to have Baker lose the title imo, so best to save Baker vs. Rosa for a few months down the line. Ruby is a good filler title defense.
Thought maybe they'd have Riho win if not Ruby. Was surprised how her elimination was treated really unimportantly... wasn't even shown on camera smh Also feel like Rosa is the best women's wrestler in AEW... maybe all of wrestling. Who is better than her? |

that TNT opener set just the right tone for the night. i almost shit when suzuki came out. dmd and statlander knocked it out of the park. tag match was an absolute thing of beauty. ruby soho 4 champ i love her so much. jade cargill gonna be a star. guitar was too loud to really hear live during jericho's entrance, but that was a better match than i expected. punk and darby killed it. smoke break during qt match. main event was fantastic even if we all sounded tired by then. cole and Danielson lit that fucker back up, though. insane atmosphere to be in. y'all should come here for a show.

Man... great show top to bottom. I was invested the entire way and even thought the QT vs. Paul Wight match was well placed as a buffer.
I havent seen much of the Young Bucks in all honesty but man, born to be heels those guys but what a moveset! Miro and Eddie Kingston take a bow! Can Brian not do the Yes chant thing? He looked like he was dying to do it but maybe theres a copyright issue? I am quite interested to see how they fit everyone in now, I really hope they spread the top talent over the shows and don't end up with a massively obvious B show. |

Apparently it wasn't just WWE officials who got blindsided by Adam Cole's contract ending earlier than assumed since even Cole didn't know until someone pointed it out to him.
Also confirmed him wanting to keep Twitch was a main sticking point during talks with WWE. They balked at the idea so he took up AEW's offer instead. Quote:

Funny thing about re-watching Cole’s debut. It’s not like he entered from the face tunnel and then turned, he entered from the heel tunnel straight away.
The crowd knows there is a heel tunnel and a face tunnel. They literally booed when Punk teased going through the wrong tunnel. But everyone got so caught up in Cole’s debut that most didn’t even notice he walked out of the heel side. So a lot of people still bit on him Superkicking Jungle Boy. Excellent. |

Thinking about what/who is next for Jericho after MJF last night. Some names comes to mind like Andrade, Malakai Black and maybe even Miro. I think in all of those ideas he'd be putting over the younger star. Kind of hard to see what would be immediate for a babyface Jericho right now.
For MJF, perhaps now is the time to turn Wardlow. It's easy to book, MJF chastises The Pinnacle for not saving his ass at All Out and eventually Wardlow can't take any more abuse and whoops that annoying MJF ass. |

Here is a good link to the media scrum after All Out
Also, Tony Khan is so weird and creepy lol. He reminds me of a sociopath reacting like he thinks he should to mimic actual feelings. Watch him for a few minutes while a wrestler is answering questions, it is uncomfortable! And he touches everybody too much. |

Meant to rant about this earlier but the casino battle royal format sucks, and is completely counterintuitive to how a timed battle royal is supposed to work. Someone new comes in, they're supposed to get a shine and hit some cool spots to hype the crowd. That can't happen when you're having 5 people come out one after the other. Layla hersh suplexed Nyla rose and it was fucking awesome, but it barely got a reaction because everyone was looking at the entryway. Meanwhile the camera guys are trying to keep up and cutting back and forth so often you'd think Kevin Dunn was all elite.

To your point, they waste 10-15 seconds on the screen graphics to show which suit is next instead of what is going on in the ring. Its a small complaint, but it does not serve any real purpose. |
