I can't stop refreshing podcast feeds and clicking on every link related to last night.

It was special. I'm loving vibrating on one mug of coffee. I'm too old to feel this way about wrestling, but goddamn does it feel good to feel it.

Never underestimate the power of Vince pulling a Vince Mind Trick on a guy, I imagine that was the real reason Cole got a meeting - they don’t have real plans for him, but they know if he went anywhere else he’d be a bigger star than they’ve ever made him within a week. So have Vince convince him that they’ve got big plans for him, the biggest, he’s gonna be on 7-11 cups and on billboards and they’re totally not gonna feed him to Roman or Olmos or whoever becomes Vince’s latest “this is my surefire meal ticket” blind guess from a group of guys whose defining traits are “is tall, has muscles”.

Yeah, I hear you, and I'd agree if not for a couple things: One, the contract extension instead of outright re-signing. He has to be aware of the winds changing, especially since several of his close friends have been released already, and that's visibly affected him (like his stream when he found out Breeze was released). They probably already had to convince him pretty hard just to extend. Two, not to speculate too heavily on the relationships of strangers, but you have to think a crossroads like this would be make-or-break for a lot of couples. Like do you do the long-distance thing indefinitely for another however many years they offer? Or do you get together in a company that doesn't actively despise healthy relationships?

It's like goldy or bronzy, but made of iron.


I firmly believe that there are some die-hard WWE fans who AEW will never win over, and some lapsed fans who will never come back.

I also firmly believe that AEW doesn't actually need to win those two groups over. There's a much broader group of people who are either old wrestling fans open to something new, or people who haven't been wrestling fans until now who can be won over by cool stuff and a good product.

Tony is just such a goddamned delight. As a fan, last night meant just as much to him as it did to every other fan; as the owner and operator of AEW, it meant even more. Seeing him choked up and tearing up because he gambled with a badly kept secret, got the sellout he was hoping for and then got the moment he was hoping for... I'm just so glad that everything is in the hands of a man who loves wrestling.

See, I want to believe that Bray understands what the AEW audience wants and that with Tony's help they could get him to a really creative and cool place without it being too supernatural and ungrounded to buy into.

I also want to believe that Windham Rotunda is a better wrestler than his work in WWE would have you believe. We've seen plenty of people show up outside WWE and suddenly be good at wrestling. It's a distinct possibility.

Same here

I was in the 'I don't really care about CM Punk in AEW' frame of mind until last night and I'll freely admit my mind was completely changed

Trust in TK - he's not loving around about having the heart of a fan and trying to give us what we're looking for

If Bray can come up with something calibrated to the supernatural level Malakai Black is working with, he’ll be fine. Give him Bear Country and they can be mountain cultists instead of swamp cultists.
