To be fair I'd forgive a lot if he brought back the Mean Street Posse, but sadly that would need Shane to have a sense of humour about himself and I genuinely think he thinks he's a great wrestler.
Also what have you got against Joey Abs?

It's only the original authentic posse for me. Shane, Rodney, Pete, the others who appeared that first time and never again. Joey Abs was like Virgil joining the NWO, the workrate goes through the roof but the magic has gone
I think as the group's workhorse you're doing Abs an enormous disservice, and downplaying the huge part he will have played in turn Shane into the world's greatest pro wrestler.
I'll concede that as an actual wrestler Abs can take credit for Shane becoming the best pure striker in the business, but as he was drafted in he can't share in the pure emotion. Pete and Rodney however, they were there through the highs and slightly less highs of Shane's life. (Also Willie Green who apparently only appeared in silhouette with his voice distorted which I don't remember at all)
Okay, how about we compromise: Abs as his cornerman for the match, Gas and Rodney can come out of the crowd to hold him aloft?
WWE have released my favourite wrestler
https://411mania.com/wrestling/shane...let-go-by-wwe/
There goes the money.
Wrestlemania ruined.
Wouldn't be surprised if Rollins doesn't just retire now that his shot at the dream match is gone.
He really was a prime example of everything wrong with WWE. His return during that Vince/Stephanie segment got a big nostalgia pop, that story went toilet-wards very quickly but WWE's attitude was "Hey remember that pop? AND he's old! We can remind people of the Attitude era and bury our current roster all at the same time!"
It's not even worth watching now.
That anybody who doesn't do it for a living chooses to sit through a full WWE broadcast blew my mind anyway.
Even more so now half the show is drivel and people are apparently watching the shit bits and not just skipping through for anything halfway interesting. 5 hours of programming a week and you might get 90 minutes tops that's actually any good, and even then only if they've got a match or two where they just let people go at it for 15 minutes.
Next scene: Shane knocks them out with worked punches. Best in the world.
Now thats an AEW signing I can get behind.
Get a five star match out of that, Kenny.
The best strikes in the world, would carry anyone to a 5 star rating from Dave.
"Do you have anything high I can fall off?" <jumps off Tony Khan's shoulders>
"Right I've got this epic storyline idea that WWE never really followed through on.
So, there's this lockbox, right..."
Seen a few people saying by letting Shane go they've missed out on having Theory vs. Shane and marketing it as "Austin vs. McMahon."
Kendrick pulled from AEW for shit like this:

What the actual fuck....
Here's some more stuff.
Going to David Icke conventions
Why's this resurfacing? It wasn't exactly buried at the time, it's already done the rounds.
Presumably because AEW tried to hire a scumbag, whereas scumbags being employed by WWE is seen as the norm.
He NEVER believed in any of it. I believe him.
'I crossed the line' is clearly a come get me plea to Impact.

I assume it was Shane McMahon who said this, with the same frame of mind I might be in if I were to warn beautiful women not to turn up at my door demanding sex from me.
Im all for Shane working the death match circuit going forward.
Oldberg v Roman Reigns.
The Saudi princes will be wanking themselves silly.
I didn't enjoy MJF vs. Punk from last week as much as the reviews I've read/heard did but I am by default annoyed when matches go to commercials, picture-in-picture or otherwise. Not sure it needed 40 minutes either but it's a very decent match and MJF really is an expert piece of shit.
Gosh, Ziggler on NXT! That'll do a lot for the ratings, I'm sure.
Big Fat Keith Lee.
Might need to watch him splat whoever that dude is he debuted against.
EDIT: Although BFKL debuting did, as I suspected, confirm Tony Khan's "FORBIDDEN DOOR SIGNING!!!!!!!!!!1" stuff to be an absolute lie. Free agents can't come through the so-called 'Forbidden Door', Tony, you cretin.

I think he was referring to Jay White, although NJPW/Impact is hardly a forbidden door for AEW.
He's come out and said he signed Jay White specifically because he fucked up and said Forbidden Door for Keith.
Oh so he's an idiot then.
He’s no Vince, eh.
I'm a twit
Him just ballsing up the wording makes sense, the only person I thought it could have been going on that would be Jeff Hardy and get Khan Sr to cover the lawsuit.
So he wouldn't have otherwise?Originally Posted by Browning
Call me old fashioned but White is miles better than anyone else who's available. The guy knows how to wrestle main event matches. NJPW need him back.
I think his missus having a kid has kept in America much longer than anticipated with the added bonus that he already lives in Florida fulltime if he isnt on a NJPW tour. The bloke already has story with Hangman, Kenny/Bucks, Chaos/Best Friends, Adam Cole off the top of my head.
I hope they book the Bullet Club side of things with extreme caution.

Keith Lee's debut was obviously wonderful, I also enjoyed Punk / Mox vs FTR until all the wank started happening.
Picked up a couple of Raw matches too but the highlight was after WWE did the thing where they had Riddle / Rollins go to DQ, had Orton come out and attack Owens and turn it into a tag match when Rollins hit Owens in the arm and told him to get back in the apron sonhe can be tagged Owens shouts "Ow! I just got RKOd, why are you hitting me???" Owens is so good. Did a proper lol at Rollins' face when. KO hugged him at the end too.
Wouldn't have yet is the way I read it, he's been on Impact and every NJ Strong show he can get on talking about AEW or people who work there so I think this was coming. Cocaine Tony would probably be better off curating his tweets but it's hard to fault him for seemingly trying to not disappoint people once he'd said it.
I’m not familiar with Keith Lee (or Jay White) but Keith Lee seems like lots of fun.
I love that Sammy Guevara wore both belts.
I'm a twit
I forgot Jay has also pinned Moxley.
I remember watching this live and for the life of me I couldn't tell if it was a worked shoot or not.

Lee is properly great. And basically has a bit of everything.
I’ve not watched AEW so I’m not sure how his match style will go down with the fan base as he’s very much been brought up in the NJPW main event structure but I imagine his mic work will be fire.
To be fair he has wrestled a lot more matches in America than most NJPW dojo products..

Hopefully they let him squash Hook.
(Although I did enjoy, and I’m sure you did too, Jericho’s repeated use of Hookamania.)
I'm a twit
lol.
Can't believe Charlotte would make her opponent look like a twat.
WWE reportedly bringing some bloke called Steve back to wrestle at mania. This won’t make up for no Shane.
