Sure. But, it's not like Paramount isn't TKO affiliated. That's all I'm saying.

Paramount is E adjacent. They hold the rights to UFC and Dana White's boxing promotion.

No kidding. The guy does a podcast about the wrestling industry in 1997 from the state of Montana. He couldn't be more isolated or irrelevant.

Broke up. Taya is now a part of MxM TV. They're a pretty entertaining group.

I'd say it's a few things. #1, like you said, ticket prices. But also, Vegas is having issues with getting people to even go there due to rising costs. US tourism is down for obvious reasons. But if somebody is going to travel to the US, it's more likely that they'll come for the World Cup in July.

It was reported in the WON that Hobbs was older than was previously known and it was later confirmed by Bixenspan. And this kind of is formation is public in the state of California. So, after it was reported people got curious and went to the state database.

That's a good list. Only other name that I can think of that I'd add is Chad Gable. The guy can go.

Why would he go to TNA? The TNA of today is not the TNA that he left. Other than Kaz, he has no ties to anybody currently working there. This is just mindless fantasy booking with no actual thought being put into it. It's AEW or retirement. And realistically it's 1% AEW, 99% retirement.

The guy put a picture of his kid on his social media accounts and blamed TK for it. The guy has lost the plot.

The rumor I saw is that the Saudi's asked for Black to be off of the card due to some demonic tattoos that he has.

Unless he's signed an extension, his WWE contract is over in in a few weeks. Then he did his thing with the gloves after the "retirement" match tonight which makes it look like there's a possibility he might not be done. So people are thinking that he might keep going, but somewhere else.

Ciampa. I like AEW's way of making guys earn their spot through losses. But one, I like surprises. Two, I'm guessing he's not there to big-time anybody, so he doesn't need to earn it. Three, it'd immediately establish him in AEW.

A match? Sure. An Ospreay one-off could be cool. Any kind of actual run? No. Nothing against him, but there's already too many AEW wrestlers who I feel don't get enough TV time that I don't want another nostalgia act who I don't have any nostalgia for taking up airtime.

Blowing up Jericho's spot would be kind of vindictive. And you don't think the guy who runs to the dirt sheets every chance he gets to pump himself up wouldn't care?

I'm not going to read too much into this number. AEW's reported number this week wasn't great either. People were most likely doing weekend errands after work that wouldn't be able to get done due to the impending ice/snow that hit like 60% of the US.

If everything was amicable between TK and Jericho at the end, which it seems to have been since there's been no reporting to the contrary, why spoil it? There's no need to be vindictive towards a guy who was instrumental in the start of AEW.

I wouldn't jump to that conclusion. Jay was the one who said the things that kept The Briscoes off of TV, not Mark. It's the same reason the rest of The Rascalz are still signed and allowed on TV, just not Trey. WBD's issues are/were with the person who made the comments. Not their tag partners.

There is a less than 0% chance of him getting booed if he shows up in AEW.

He's also got a hernia issue and has spoken previously about suffering from pretty bad anxiety and depression. Him being released from his contract, instead of it being terminated, combined with still being in good standing with AEW makes it sound more like the mental health stuff to me.

During one of her streams, she sounded like she is winding down her wrestling career and said that she wanted to dedicate her time to streaming.

Search "AEW Replay". It's what I have to do to find it. It's how I found it this morning

According to Ortiz they were supposed to win them twice. The first got derailed due to some personal things Santana was dealing with. The second was when Santana wanted to be a singles wrestler and wouldn't agree to creative. So, I don't really agree because there were plans. They just fizzled out

He had a specific character idea that he wanted to do. It's what he tried pitching to WWE at the end and they said no. I'm not so sure AEW would've let him. It takes up a fair amount of TV time and evil politician is a hit or miss idea. TNA is letting him run with it.

Oh, definitely. That's why this topic just goes in circles. Simple moves are dangerous too. One side says then don't make it more high risk. The other says all wrestling is risky so, you can't just worry about high risk moves when anything can end your career. Neither side is really wrong or right.

Adam Cole got taken out by two routine moves. A dropkick and a clothesline. This entire conversation is about high risk moves.

There's nothing to get. He's one of those guys who is decent enough at everything, but great at nothing. The people who really like him talk about him like he's this great prospect who is way ahead of the curve. The dude is 35. This is what he is. Just kind of middle of the road.

Yeah, she has an undisclosed health issue which required her to retire. But, I guess that she's still backstage in some capacity. And Leon Slater is the next guy who is going to bounce to WWE when his contract is up.

Women's wrestler of the year should be, in no particular order, either Moné, Iyo, or Storm. Vaquer is basically a parody at this point. It's not her fault. But, she's had no memorable feuds and she's been reduced to everybody just waiting for the shot of her ass. That's not wrestler of the year.

If you include ROH, October.
