Where is the 'Dax Harwood is a twat' thread? He has got to be the least likeable person in wrestling.

How can you embarrass a man that pretty much everyone knows is a prick? What is it going to prove, that Punk isn't a tough guy? We already know this. That Punk has an overinflated ego? Again, already know this. Other than a ratings ploy, which I don't think will actually work, what is the point? Still think they should actually do a bait and switch and have Wee M Punk getting battered by the Bucks in a GTV style grainy CCTV footage.

Now THIS kind of pettiness, I would be 100% behind. Ian with a home run once again.

Roman sliding the table back under the ring was a fantastic bit of heel work. Tremendous.

Whilst I'm still not convinced it'll be what we are expecting, what does this achieve exactly? Who will benefit from any tape being shown of what happened at All In on TV? By all means, have Tony tweet it out, the group that are interested in what happened will all see the tweet, what benefit to the weekly show will this have? Also, are they legally allowed to show footage of someone else who is contracted to their competitor as an actual segment? Feels like a really risky move for something that's going to have absolutely zero benefit to the show or company other than stroking egos. As LaGoosh said, I'm fucking tired of it all. I'm tired of the shite back and forth between the two companies, between the two groups of fans and every-fucking-thing being taken over by some sort of shit point scoring practice. I've gotten to the point of wrestling fandom where I couldn't give a shite what goes on backstage, what the ratings are or who hates who. I just want to enjoy watching something that entertains me, regardless of what 3 letters are attached to said entertainment.

I haven't seen the show, but I did see the Edge entrance on Twitter and it was the most Kevin Dunn-ish presentation I've ever seen from AEW. They really need to get back to the aethetic they had during the early / pandemic era Dynamites where it felt like.you were watching an episode of Nitro rather than 2010's Raw.

Brawl Out / Brawl In (?) is the new Montreal Screwjob. It's just something that's going to keep getting brought up in one way or the other for years, with absolutely no new information coming out yet people arguing the same points. EDIT: That's not a dig at anyone in here at all, the discussion in this thread has actually been very entertaining and level headed, compared to the other corners of the internet where it's just children shouting over a fence at each other.

Anthony Henry is currently out with a broken jaw, pretty shitty sacking someone while injured. Yes, WWE do that, but this is in relation to AEW releases (Just in before the inevitable). Which makes the releases seem a bit of a poor move. AEW have always prided themselves on seeing out contracts and not releasing folk and I can't imagine all of those released contracts added together make up much money to counteract say the Moné signing, so seems like a bit of a PR own goal if anything.

I honestly thought when Rey was doing the tease for the partner it was going to be Andrade. I like Dragon Lee, bags of potential, future star, but this was the wrong time to use him. Absolute tumbleweed of an announcement, especially when the crowd were chanting for Carlito who was right there. Tag match is bollocks as well, go all out faction warfare. There's 5 on each side FFS.

Careful, you'll summon him.

The problem with Mercedes feeling disingenuous, is because it probably is. It was only a few weeks ago she was saying she will be back in WWE, which doesn't really play into here being there to help 'the cause' rather than it being convenient for her. Time will tell, she's only had 2 appearances so far and we know from time gone by that a flop debut doesn't automatically mean the person will flop. Look at Christian.
