It is true, WWE can throw shots whenever they like, no one bats an eyelid. But when it's the other way round or a response, you get the WCW jibes, you get all of the grifter podcasts going crazy, twitter and Facebook bots going mad.

Better to ignore it, but it's typical of the current process where WWE staff are able to take shots at AEW and no one critiques them, but when AEW do it, or respond, it ends up with "this is WCW 2000 levels!" Tbh I have no idea myself! Just reposting Meltzer info!

He was giving out on McAfee's podcast about free agents not wanting to grind. Which is a bit rich, considering his best mate is Kevin Nash.

For the people in here who were loving them some Triple H and taking a shit on Ospreay, maybe wait until you get a bit more information first before you start. From the Observer - Will's partner wanted to stay in the UK with her family because she lost her first husband due to suicide, and this was something both WWE and AEW were aware of. Hence why Will felt it was a real dick move and he needed to address it.

Spot on, they've hired new people to do their live events and that's a big change. WWE are on a hot streak, just don't follow them round the country like the last guy who was booking the shows was doing.

Their metrics are fine. Warners Bros are championing their ratings all the time. They are getting 100k+ PPV buys every month, on track to do 60k+ at Wembley. They've hired a new live events chap who will take over from someone who was booking shoes in the same cities, in massive buildings. Getting 3k-6 for weekly TV is great and 10k+ for PPVs is great too. It was pretty petty, but if you watched the whole segment, it at least makes sense. Bucks twisting it and blaming FTR for it. FTR cutting a promo about how stupid they are for going on about it. It was fine. The news cycle moves quickly, people will have another thing to moan about soon anyway. How exactly are they like sped up WCW? Nitro was great from 96-98, and then awful until 2001 when they shut their doors. AEW has been around for 5 years, almost the same amount of time as Nitro, and they doing good business, as I outlined above. WCW was putting out some of the worst wrestling TV ever produced in 2000, AEW had the continental classic 3 months ago and an all time great PPV last month. It's clearly not the same.

This is a bit of a reach. The Continental Classic was back in December and they've been on a run of great shows since. The last PPV was excellent. It's one shitty segment, about some backstage nonsense that was the talk of wrestling for the last week because Punk decided to go on about it again. No one mentioned it, he's tried to sanctify himself and they've released the footage on live TV. That should be the end of the nonsense, Punk looks like a bully and a bit of a wimp because he couldn't take out Jack Perry. Perry gets to come back do his scapegoat stuff, which makes because he got suspended for getting attacked. And Samoa Joe looks like a bad ass. When else have they done petty shit on TV? Or at least, promoted it? And also, they are nothing like WCW, and if you feel they are, just watch some Nitro episodes from when they were 5 years in to that run. I bet you won't be thinking that then.

Chances are that AEW had their own camera crew backstage.

Where do you normally watch the PPVs? On a laptop?

If you go onto the triller website rather than the app, that 3 PPV deal goes to $49 rather than £49, so it works out to be £39 for 3 PPVs, which isn't too bad!

Punk mentioned on his interview that after Hangmans promo when he went off script, he went to Tony Khan and his own lawyers to get it fixed. Not sure what lawyers were supposed to do for it tbh! Also said he was fighting the urge to double leg Hangman and "murder" him on live TV. I can't really give Punk the benefit of the doubt here, when he was going on live TV and calling out Hangman when he knew he wasn't in the building. Then he started throwing shots again about Hangmans action figures sales after he came back in August 2023. He's just doing the same thing again.

One thing I find hilarious is that Punk had a scrap with Jack Perry but got the lawyers involved because Hangman said something about him. He should have tried to fight Hangman, would have been great to see how that went down, I imagine starting a fight with someone his own size isn't really in his nature. Also, it's coming up to 2 years since Hangmans line that peeved him so much and he's still going on about it
