A Make a Wish child’s final wish was to meet the superstars of AEW, Max Caster and MJF enter the hospital room to the child’s delight. After several minutes the flatlining of an EKG is heard.

One time a guy stole some downhill skis out of my jeep and I was so mad I punched a mailbox. I'm against crime, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
I hope the Owen tourney has representatives from all of AEW’s partner companies. It would really make it seem like an industry-wide celebration.

I would not assume that at all, the Bret and Martha relationship is.. strained, to put it mildly.

One great thing that could come out of this is them mending fences.

That didn’t take long at all to get to “And MJF or Caster are going to say something inappropriate and RUIN it”, good job thread.

I’m worried that AEW signing dead people means they’ll try to sign Chris Benoit to use in the video games

I speculated that AEW and Martha were working on something when AEW filed a trademark for King of Harts and I’m glad to see that things headed in this direction. I think it’s going to be a real good partnership and I can’t wait until AEW can run a show in Calgary.

Yeah, I wonder if "King of Harts" was vetoed by WWE or what? It's a better name than the Owen Cup (but this is still very cool).

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

My default assumption was that it was too close to King of the Ring to run with, but while King of Harts is a cool tournament name, I think the simplicity of "Owen Hart Cup" might be better because it gives it a sports-y faux prestige feeling that you don't get a lot of in wrestling

It's wild to think but that Brodie Lee tribute show was this completely unintentional moment that basically changed everything for AEW, like everything major they've gained lately has been as a result of the simple act of paying tribute to a deceased colleague.

Meanwhile WWE waited like a week before having heels cutting promos about how Eddie was burning in hell or whatever the gently caress.

I think it was less that they did a nice tribute show and more that a lot of people in the company knew he was sick but everybody was respectful enough to not let the information get out. That seems really uncommon when you have such a potentially large circle of people who could know what's really going on. Seems like it made AEW seem like a tight-knit group and a family than just another promotion.

A smile better suits a hero



The Brian Cage figure is just an old He-Man figure with different hair.

Speaking of the Absolute one, apparently he's permanently replacing Mark Henry at the desk for Rampage and Henry will stick to backstage stuff. Probably for the best right now.

I like Mark Henry but his "big friendly guy" energy is just too low-key for Rampage. If he was doing commentary on Dark or Elevation he'd be fine.

I think they waited at least a month before the "Eddie's in hell" comment but I can't be assed to look
