Cody can't. But can Cody Rhodes?

That would be an awful cop-out.

He needs to maintain the stipulation.

Sonny has said that he happily alternates male and female pronouns, so it may be a rare example of JR being progressive rather than grumpily phoning it in.

I'd love to see it that way but I think it might just be JR being JR. 

But hey, if Sonny doesn't care, I don't think anyone else has a need to be upset over it.

Brandi Rhodes may have stolen Layla's spot as fittest woman in wrestling ever 

Preach.

So if he breaches the contract, they have to notify him in writing, and then they have five days to try and unbreach it, and if they can't, they then have a further 30 days to try and unbreach it?

 

Notice period and then grace period to try to work out the issues, yeah. It could be a basic part of Impact contracts, who knows? I guess it comes down to whether or not Impact have the right to terminate based on how much employing Joey Ryan for any period of time would damage their reputation? Or is that contract wording pretty much iron clad? I'm not the most educated in contract law.

"The lawsuit also includes a copy of his 23-page contract, which Ryan claims the language in the contract allows him to receive written notice of breach of contract and a five day “cure period” to work out any issues. If nothing could be worked out to alleviate the breach, then he and IMPACT would have a period of 30 days to resolve the matter together, and after that, IMPACT would then be able to terminate the deal if they had been unable to resolve all matters."

It's all about how the contract is laid out, and how the detailed procedure wasn't followed. Does he have a case? Perhaps? 

It was re-posted to Austin's Instagram, which is why it's making the rounds again.

Nothing wrong with a bit of Astley Stone Cold.

Pescado? 

I always understood the Suicide Dive to be the Tope Suicida, and the Tope Con Hilo to be a flip dive to the outside. 

Interesting. 

Not sure about pescado. I'm pretty sure that's Spanish for 'fish'. I'll have to pay better attention and perhaps it'll pop up on Dynamite this week, with 14 Tope Suicida and 12 Tope Con Hilo.

(I love AEW but by God there's a lot of dives!)

Sorry. Doble contribución, as our friend Excalibur might scream unnecessarily. Please delete.

Ha.

It's tijeras, right? Probably because he's a former Chikara nerd that he's throwing out the Lucha names so often.

That's the one. What's the move that sounds like quesadilla? Quesadora? It's hard to keep up. I absolutely hate TOPE CON HIRO!!!!! etc. It's a suicide dive. Just call it a suicide dive. The TOPE CON HIRO!!!!! is so old and boring now.

Fucking hate how Excalibur calls almost every head scissor or rana that name I can't for the life of me spell.

Quesadilla?

I’ll maybe see how the cloud streaming service is on Xbox at some point.

It works but it's not amazing. Stadia works far better but doesn't include your Xbox library etc. 

Saying that, I've only tried the cloud to Android part of the service. 

Are the G1 Climax shows having English commentary? I can't find an English option for Night 1.

It's gotta be the Moxley vs MJF match, surely? I'm in the minority, but I'm incredibly entertained by MJF, and would love to see him beat Moxley. 

I'm kinda over the Moxley stuff now. He was cool and fresh when he arrived, now his "walk" annoys me, his hair annoys me, and I'd rather he weren't a main focus of the show.

MJF on the other hand is such a basic, yet effective, heel...I just love it. So simple.

well if aj wasn't such a petulant child saying certain shit about heyman and other backstage personnel and talking about certain ex wrestlers like moxley, jericho, the good brothers over the past few months then maybe they wouldn't have lost their twitch channels.

You ok there?

On the All Out Wiki page, Hardy Vs Sammy G is listed as a 'broken rules' match where Hardy must retire if he loses. When was that stip added?

On the latest Road To All Out. It's essentially a hardcore, falls count anywhere match.

Isn't it an open secret that Omega and Ibushi are a couple? Not that Kenny should have to disclose his sexuality if he doesn't want to but if he is due a run with the big belt there could be a huge chance for AEW to show their diversity by having an openly gay heavyweight champion.

Again I just want to stress that just because they can doesn't mean Kenny should nor should any person ever feel pressured into revealing their sexuality/gender etc just to help a company show their diversity. 

I heard the latest was Kenny had a girlfriend. Just hearsay though. 

I think Ibushi/Omega have had a relationship, or perhaps as close to it as you can get in a close friendship. Ibushi is quite open about being bisexual, no? Kenny, I believe, is less bothered by labels and just wants to be happy? I remember reading an article to that effect.

I thought the WWE using pyro again regularly coincidentally coincided with the beginnings of Dynamite and use of pyro.

Brandi, the worst contracted performer in the company as both a character and a wrestler, has booked herself into the final of a tournament. That’s quite impressive. I’m assuming they’ll win as the other two aren’t even signed. Guess it gives her some heel ammo on the segments where she’s a heel rather than the ones she isn’t.

My assumption was that the tension between Brandi and Allie boils over and that gives Ivelisse/Diamante the win, and then they get signed. 

Anything other than that is a Brandi ego crock of shit.

Spoilers for next Saturday have leaked on Reddit, just a warning for anyone that uses it that doesn't want to accidentally come across it like I have. 

I'm not sure how legitimate these spoilers are. A few sites have taken the articles down, and the Reddit post was apparently deleted? 

If New Jack counts as an influencer, I'd pay good money to see the match.

"you're ruining the thing". Haha. The Rock is great.

Orange Cassidy.

He'd somehow be more over than he is without a crowd.

Killed him in Connecticut and then dragged his body to the Chattahoochee River? Almost certain he heavily implies it happened in the south.

Browsing through a random Observer from February 2003 and there was a note about Velocity and Confidential 'dropping' to a 680,000 viewership and it struck me how close they are to the ratings that AEW and NXT are regularly doing. 

Around that same time, Raw was doing about a 3.5 rating. 

Times have changed dramatically. AEW have been quite open about the fact that they are exceeding expectations, so maybe it speaks more that TNT didn't expect 700k viewers? Just how the networks that show WWE seem to be fairly content with their current 1.5-2m viewers?
