Yeah, this makes sense.

I’m just baffled with the mox/punk thing

I have no clue where they're going with it either. If the match is at the PPV the winner of it should turn heel imo. Almost all the main event talent are babyfaces right now. They can book an epic heel run for either one of them now

Makes a lot of sense with mox since BCC is pretty much tweeners already

They all pretty much seem like faces. Danielson was a heel when the group was started but comes across as a babyface now. Moxley is trying to go with that Austin antihero vibe.

I’m not sure if I’m the only one here but I’m not at all hyped for All Out this year. I’m sure there will be decent matches but nothing I’m dying to see. This is a complete contrast to last year where that show couldn’t get here quick enough and had tons of momentum going into it.

Build to this PPV for a variety of reasons (injuries, some backstage stuff) really hurt them on the build. They've basically had no build at all. They did just announce the Casino Ladder Match and regardless of no build, it has potential to be pretty damn awesome;

Ladder match: Claudio, Wheeler Yuta, Penta, Fenix, RUSH, Andrade, Dante Martin, and the Joker


I figure this PPV will end up being like Forbidden Door. The build to that show sucked because they kept having to change their plans due to injuries but the actual show itself ended up being pretty good.

I'm heading to Dynamite/Rampage Grand Slam in 3 weeks. So hopefully this PPV sets up Grand Slam as well as last year's PPV set up Grand Slam.

I’m not surprised after he said this


Maybe he's choosing to leave, but I read the SRS headline more as AEW choosing to not bring him back. That's what I would find surprising, given all the Undisputed Elite stuff and then everything you can do with reDRagon. They spent all that time over the last year building stuff, had to pause since Cole and KOR got hurt, and now would just let it all go because they decided Fish wasn't worth bringing back?

Yeah. That Punk/Mox stuff was a good story to tell over 5 weeks, not 5 minutes
Definitely. That could’ve played out over at least 2-3 weeks.
Still don’t think people care about W Morrisey.
Was shocked that Knox wasn’t the ref for the Bucks match last night.
As for Fish, he’s a decent wrestler but not a guy that’s ever going to put butts in the seats. He probably would’ve been better off in whatever ROH is going to be. Wouldn’t be shocked to see him go back to WWE, whether that’s NXT or the main roster.
Wonder how true the rumors about Andrade and Malakai Black wanting out are.

I've never really cared for Morrisey one way or the other even back at Enzo/Cass' peak. But last night, he looked in the best shape I've seen him in a long ass time (maybe ever). I respect him for turning his life around after being in a very bad place a couple of years ago. It's cool seeing him get a shot at a big promotion again (WWE was reportedly interested as well so it looks like he chose AEW)

By the looks of Kyle O'Reilly's instagram, it looks like he's undergone neck fusion surgery. Ouch. Probably gonna be out of action for quite awhile now. Maybe makes a little more sense why they didn't re-sign Bobby Fish too. Not really much you can do with Fish if KOR isn't around.

Agreed. He looked in great shape but I think he's always going to have that stigma of being Enzo's muscle, at least for quite a while anyways.

Damn, that sucks. He was my favorite of the three UE guys. Not sure what they'll end up doing with Cole now whenever he's able to come back unless they just either move him onto something else or maybe turn Hangman heel and have them join forces against the Bucks.

I can’t wait for him to get his moment in front of a crowd.

He deserves it.

That pop at the 2020 rumble has blown away anything we’ve seen in the live crowd ppvs post covid. And it’s not close Imo

I'd say it Matches Johnny Wrestlings return in Toronto

Not even close.

They almost blew the roof off the place

I’m not sure johnybwrestling would be in the top 5

Edge and McIntyre probsbly own the top 4 spots for me, both at 2020 RR and their entrances at wm37

Agreed but they Almost blow the roof off of Scotiabank Centre, My hatred for everything Mapleleaf made it hard to type that, when he came out

Is it me or does anyone else here think the most realistic person for Wildcard is MJF?
