Jericho started a full blown transformation into Randy the Ram.
Wearing a hairnet in the ring, calling himself 'THE COLD MEAT COUNTER'
I'm up for it

The Elite are brilliant at the moment. The changing of the opening package was brilliant. Great closing segment as well. Teasing Kenny V Okada again. Hopefully that happens at Wembley as it deserves such a stage.
Jericho in an enjoyable match? I'm amazed. Do more garbage shit Chris, it'll save ya.
Love Christian. Great challenger to Swerve.
-
Personally don't have an issue with Khan bringing that up. WWE still has a shit load of enablers there and people involved in that awfulness. They just try and brush it under the carpet. It should make WWE uncomfortable and those who keep going on about THE TRIPLE H ERA.
Tony should clean his own house though first.
-
For some reason I feel Fulham will draw with City. I have no idea why. It might just be gas
-
Hangman can just play the obsessed with Swerve character, where he's not necessarily a heel but he fucking hates Swerve and can't understand why the fans love him after what he has done before.

Oh haven’t you heard? They are going to throw the game so Arsenal don’t win the league, or something.Â
I completely understand their fans not wanting to win it, but the most Spurs thing ever would be to win that game

Come on Ange, beat City and be remembered as a North London legend.

London has plenty of problems, and throwing taxpayer money at Wrestlemania would be a bad look no matter what. But it's a question of saying "but we've got Rey Mysterio!" instead of paying striking train drivers, not of the conservative fantasy of London being a crime-ridden hell hole.
I think you've taken a throwaway line and kinda took it seriously and a Wrestling discussion isn't really the place to discuss politics, but you can throw stats around all you like, London is in a really bad state in lots of ways and Khan has done fuck all to address it. I'm a lifelong Labour supporter and he's as rubbish as the previous two mayors.
Anyway as I say, not really the place for politics and it was just a line.
-
We've already got a big pro wrestling show at Wembley that could be an annual event WITHOUT using taxpayers money. Crimes out of hand in London at the moment and he's going 'LOOK LADS HERE'S REY MYSTERIO'
I wish Labour had anyone else running for Mayor.
Anyway, can see it at the Spurs stadium if anything.

Tony Khan with the neck brace is fucking magic. Also the Bucks tweets after Dynamite were funny as well. This is the fun shit AEW should be doing

Rather than setting Tony Khan up for an angle, I actually think this might be a way to write him off.
Absolutely this. No way will Khan be seen for ages on screen
-
I actually think Ange would be the perfect post Klopp manager. Personality and a brand of football. Obviously his challenge will come in the second season on if he can build on his first with Spurs, but it seems like the sort of manager that would fit there.
Where's Tuchel going this summer? Will United go for him?
-
The narrative that Klopp announcing he was leaving is the reason they have collapsed would make sense if they weren't in all 4 competitions mid March, and were top only a few weeks ago. The real reason is they overachieved this season and are not as good as Arsenal and City. He's also replaced that amazing front three with players who aren't good enough. Will be a few years of transition for Liverpool now.
Carragher losing his head yesterday was funny. Wayne Rooney I thought was great on punditry especially with Liverpool constantly moaning about 12.30 kick offs. I mean playing first IS an advantage.

but he feels ridiculously miscast in the role.Â
He's the only person they can cast in that role as it makes sense. Who has the biggest beef with Khan? Perry. I think this gimmick is great and fits in with the Bucks.
Also I imagine we wont be seeing much of Tony on screen. No doubt he'll be 'out' for a while and The Bucks will be running the show.It is a good way to have them in charge and plays into 'he's a nice guy but not a boss' thing. I thought it was quite good!

Becky just became switch the channel for me. Maybe I can never trust someone who wants to be around Seth Rollins that much
-
Rewatched the match and it's just excellent and perfectly built. The mad thing is they probably have more to do when they go again.
-
That Ospreay/Danielson match somehow over delivered. What an absolute belter. Not seen a match that good in a long time, helped by a great crowd who were into it.
Swerve winning was great. It felt like they had to put the belt on him now or he may lose some momentum. Joe has been brilliant, looked every bit the man in his run.
AEW always nail PPVs really. I don't think they've had many bad ones. Hopefully with Swerve at the top they can get some momentum going.
Also, I really like the new Bucks gimmick

WWE hasn’t been this hot for quality, ratings, booking and bunch of whole other stuff in a very very long time and AEW is heading the complete opposite direction.
True but things change very quickly. Post Mania we'll see where we shake up.
No doubt Dynasty will be a banger and hopefully MJF/Omega etc back means it will step up a gear going into Wembley. This was a stupid thing to do but I think there is a slight over reaction here. What needs to change is for them to run smaller arenas, hotter crowds. Get the feeling back.
I'm still baffled by Tony Khan's thought process here. What did he think would happen? Go and do a podcast and show the footage if you must.

What's the reach? I said I hear they're producing some good shows but the lack of buzz is backed up by all the metrics.
WWE is on absolute fire at the moment. It clearly has an affect on the competition. AEW is on a bit of a downer but they're still pulling in decent numbers. Obviously there is stuff they need to do better. The annoying this is bringing this back up has undone some of the good work they have been doing. It's pointless

Wasn't there an altercation with Eddie Kingston and Sammy Guevara a while back?
Yeah, he slapped him. That was fucking stupid as well but they seem to have put that behind them.

WWE have a very good locker room and a well established management structure, that's undeniable. But he's fallen out with people everywhere he's ever been, including them and including his best friend. Maybe he's finally grown-up though, who knows?
Just waiting for Drew to call him Jungle Pepsi or something and he'll lose his shit.
There's been no fights in the AEW locker room bar the Punk one either it seems. He's the only one still doing this stuff.

I’ve lost a fair hof of respect for the company, when only this time last week I was debating putting my hand in my pocket to attend All In 2.Â
But you respect a man who assaults his co-workers. Got it
Why would that stop you going to ALL IN? Because some wrestling promoter did petty shit? I would never be at a wrestling show if that was the case

Will it? Or do AEW fans prefer good wrestling matches to petty bullshit? I can't wait* to find out if it makes an actual difference.
I think a lot of people who might not watch it regularly will have tuned in for the segment through curiosity. Not talking huge numbers but I imagine it will be up from the last few weeks.
Problem is there's no real pay off with this.

The best thing about that clip of WCW is Bret just calling everyone an idiot. I love that man
