Other than a nostalgia pop for a SHIELD reunion there is no value in a Dean Ambrose WWE return. I don't know if CZW is sill a thing but can't he just go there and stick whatever he likes into himself so I don't have to see it. 

I also agree that Timeless Toni is not a WWE friendly gimmick and would be awful. They'd treat her like The Vaudevillians, but probably worse.

Yeah if the thing stopping him from having creative freedom is stabbing himself then he can stay away. It makes me ill.

Michael Cole doing his loud, fake laugh at everything Timeless Toni says, even when it’s not supposed to be funny.

“SHE LOVES HAVING FUN!”

Commentary burying Tommy Dreamer for no reason was the highlight of the show..

We all love AEW and Toni but lets face it-Timeless Toni at Wrestlemania would be legit big time. 

"Oh wait! She's in black and white! That means she's from olden times! Now that's really CINEMA!"

.. seriously though, no.

She'd never even be Timeless in WWE. They wouldn't have allowed her the time to become that deep. They wouldn't have given her the freedom to even do the story that makes Timeless work.

Imagine how fucking confused the kids would be if this random woman turned up as an old timer. It's confusing enough when Mae Young turns up.

Remember when Ethan Page’s career peaked, when he flew into shot and booted Luigi Primo in the face?

There’s now nothing I need more in life. This prick, giving it the big, “AHAA!” and then Kenny Omega flies into shot with a V-Trigger to his twat face.

 

[FUM]

I’ve never really been against the deathmatch spots the way some are but feel the need to comment on this one. It was ridiculous, it didn’t even visually look impressive  - it looked like the guy had a brush hanging out his back. A complete waste of time for no value to anybody and friends that have sent me it have sent it in the manner of “wtf is he doing” rather than the usual “woah look at this mental bastard” schtick.

She was Timeless at All In, Wembley Stadium. How much bigger could it get?

Moxley is just building up to his actual self indulgent Lucha Underground match he's always wanted though lads. Him and Swerve(Killshot) in an homage to when Renee said on her podcast how much Jon loved it. Sooner that's out the way the better, even better if kills 2 birds with 1 stone by finishing this Death Riders lark with Swerve winning the strap.

She’d have been a comedy character, losing left, right and centre. And she’d have had to tone down the act a bit, which would mean you’d get a lesser version. If she moved back, she’d be an enormous star - but still a lesser version of what she is right now; so I hope that never happens.

There are wrestlers I’d like to see jump between companies and others I’d be devastated to see jump - she’s in the latter category for me. 

I would place the reversal in fortunes to the AEW women’s division almost entirely on her. Mercedes has helped, and Mariah and Harley have played their roles too - but without Storm I’m not at all certain they’d be where they are now. She deserves to headline a major show in the near future.

In fairness, we’d all be a bit confused - and a little impressed - if Mae Young were to turn up now.

To actually spell Mae properly after autocorrect stitched me up

Exactly - it was the move that allowed her to be what she is now. And until such a time where she's exhausted all options in AEW there's really no reason for her to move. She's in the right place with the right people.

Different environments allow talents to be nurtured in different ways. Plus a fresh set of eyes on someone's abilities can make all the difference in re-framing someone and allowing them to focus on the positives.

No reason is good reason.

He'd love the publicity and attention so I'm glad they don't bite, but I'd say any wrestling promotion would be my favourite if they just said once weekly without fail 'Hope Bully Ray hated that, the ugly cunt.'

To be fair that Killshot/Dante Fox Hell of War match was pretty great.

At this point, I've got every finger and toe crossed Swerve wins again at Dynasty and he gets another title run. Have him face Hangman at All In Texas to finish that story for good then have him drop the strap to Ospreay at the London show (if that's even still happening?).
