I think Quizzlemania will be fun this week although I've got to finish up watching the CBW episodes.
Weird start time though, really don't see who which market that caters for.

Probably to the "let people start it whenever they want" and "let the Wrestletalk lads not be working until 11pm" crowds.
I guess they only revert if they lose a load of superchat money.
Definitely feels like they had a lot less superchats throughout and they barely had any to catch up on at the end.Originally Posted by Ian
I usually stop watching when they finish as they seem to have 30+ to go through still but today it was only 5.
The next Quizzlemania sounds like it could be incredible.
Thought that felt a bit half-arsed at times, to be honest. A Denise-organised one could be absolute carnage though.
Yeah I wasn't a big fan, happy for Sully though.
Found out today that Jimmy Havoc works for DPD. Not by receiving a delivery stapled to my front door, sadly. Saw it online after discovering the guy with the cardboard box on his head in the AEW crowd is Kip Sabian.
So, yeah, was a weird Googling sesh while having a poo.

MJF is pulling off the promo of the decade.
I suppose this is AEWs pipebomb. Great promo.
Hmmm. Still not sure what to make of that whole situation.
Worked as fuck by a bunch of marks. EDIT: The crowd shot when he mentioned WWE. "Oooooooooooooh!" fuck off.

Oh yeah, I mean AEW are, the weekend stuff was supposedly not but they could just have been muddying the waters there.
This is such a weird way to come at it. You’ll be telling me the results of the fights are pre determined next.Worked as fuck by a bunch of marks. EDIT: The crowd shot when he mentioned WWE. "Oooooooooooooh!" fuck off.
But it's not a pipebomb then, is it? Pipebombs have an element of unscripted television about it. None of this looks off the rails and they're trying to portray that it is.
You think the pipe bomb wasn’t approved still? Am I going to have to tell you the results are predetermined?
I just don't like how it's been presented. Seems very small time and a bit, "Well, WWE did this once so let's ape that." which is something AEW have never shied away from.
There’s only so many things you can do. I’m hardly an AEW fan but WWE themselves recycled it from Punk’s final storyline in ROH.
Funny how the Daniel Garcia vs Moxley match from Dynamite and the Young Bucks vs Lucha Bros match from Rampage were miles better than the majority of the recent PPV.

rip.
Well it's not a work...
I know he's old school but fuck me, working through that takes some balls.
Fucking hell.
Wrestling is such a carny freakshow.
Spoilered for HIAC result:

I haven't seen it but doing a cell match with a torn pec is some hardcore shit.
It’s a refreshing change from their shitty 50-50 booking that gets nobody over, but 2 was probably enough.
Yeah it's just WWE being WWE so far as I can tell. Three in a row is a bit full on, should have let them both move on after he won two in a row.
I'm not spoilering as i think we've established by now that you don't open this if you don't know the results.
Might need to watch that match though just to see how fucked he looks.
It was seriously uncomfortable to watch at times and you could tell the crowd felt the same.
Really good match though.
I'm surprised at how much of a top guy they're making Cody, although clearly they're also doing it with a little wink towards AEW wrestlers who may have contracts expiring soon.
He's a smart guy, he would have got some assurances going into it.
Didn't he describe it as one of the most complex contracts in WWE history? He could have been gobbing off of course but complex is an interesting word to use. It's not the same as richest so I assume it's just full of things that mean if WWE try to do X he can tell them to shove it up their arse and walk back to AEW / being an indy.
It would surprise me if it wasn't. He's very clever and has seemingly got plenty of non-wrestling ventures ready to pay him millions if Vince makes him don the face paint again.
Rollins / Rhodes is Uncle Dave's first five star main roster match since Punk / Cena and only the sixth five star main roster match ever. Hmmm.
I will say that I watched it and it is probably among the best WWE HIAC matches in a good number of years (which is a very low bar) if only because Rhodes' hideous tit gave them something interesting to work around and in itself makes the match more memorable. WWE's "best"* match since Punk / Cena, though? Obviously not.
* Are Dave's ratings straight up "if x gets 5 stars it's better than everything which gets less than that"? I assume it must be.

Seems the internet was wrong about AEW being able to help him.
License on a pole match.
Lol, amazed it took so long.
Paying up is quite decent form for him. Not to mention her actually consenting to it all.
Well that's boring. Doubt it's in the top twenty shitty things he's done that we don't know about.
Seems they’ve taken this chance to fire Sasha Banks too.
I’ve turned last weeks episode of Dynamite off twice now. Starting to think I only watch AEW for MJF and the Lucha Bros.
Gonna skip Rampagr and try last nights Dynamite instead.

Heh. It's going to be a family business forever.
Womens wrestling is saved again.
"McMahon will retain his role and responsibilities related to WWE’s creative content during this period"
Phew, there's a relief
@wullie
He's still got it.
Why is this Vince thing being investigated? It seems like he had a consensual relationship with a member of staff and then paid her (with his own money) to keep her gob shut. I’m sure there is a catalogue of things you could nail the bloke with but not this.
My god that's glorious stuff
From what I gather it's more that he doubled her salary after it started, plus I don't imagine the networks or advertisers who pay them a lot of money are desperately pleased with this sort of stuff making it into the real news.
'We gave Vincent Kennedy McMahon a load of money and he did what?'
Who?
"The name on the bribe says "Shane McMahon."
