    They’ve hired so many no marks recently it’s getting quite annoying.

    It seems so unnecessary too, they already have decent crowds (despite all the fight forever/this is awesome bollocks) so it seems odd they would feel the need to plant idiots like this guy.

    Is my main problem with AEW post Cm Punk/Daniel Bryan signing. Has become an absolute mark off.

    The variety and the booking is enough for me, US tv will always be mildly awful it's just this guy was always so obvious and annoying.

    Was Punk ever that good in the ring?

    I haven't seen him do anything big since about 2011 but I seem to remember he was more a charismatic guy that was good on the mic, in a land full of guys getting ready to be Vinces next generic wrestler.

    Does he still do the Randy Savage elbow drop? He really should have stopped after the first.

    The old school ROH Champions that stood out over him for me are Samoa Joe and Bryan Danielson.

    I dont find his style interesting at all.

    So I only saw Punk's matches on my PPV trawl of the Network, totally removed from any emotional investment, and I would say he was good but that to get the best out of him there had to be a big story involved in the match. I feel like that's what he's really best at, weaving the two together, and less so just having bangers against whomever he happened to be matched up against.

    Big E / Rollins is in theory a great choice for Big E's title reign were it not for Rollins having just come off losing a relatively significant feud-ender with Edge, rendering this a classic bit of WWE "both guys could do with a win here" booking.

    I haven’t watched it properly since they arrived. The PPV with the tag team spot cage match was my last AEW.

    Should get back into it but it’s a bit samey.

    Releasing the whole roster is not a good look.

    This should help NJPW Strong more than anyone else IMO.

    Who pays for FITE? @phonics ? Struggling to find the subscription package prices cos all I’m being offered is the free 7 day trial.

    How much is it to get all the AEW and pay for a year upfront?

    Found myself watching a load of Sting stuff from 1997. I never realised how good he was at planting his feet after being dropped from the rafters. He got it down to a fine art.

    Hello Baz,

    Thank you for contacting FITE Customer Support!

    Unfortunately AEW only offer a monthly subscription.

    Regards,
    Miroslav
    Bum.

    Especially frustrating because you can get an annual sub of FITE+ for boxing or whatever.

    Fair play to Moxley for going to rehab.

    Probably another of the sort of thing that's easier to do if you work for AEW than WWE.

    Jessi Kamea the latest to be fired.

    Also, I loved NXT but I've stopped watching. I watched the first 2 episodes of "NXT 2.0" and they were better than I expected but it's hard to watch and get attached to wrestlers knowing eventually Vince is just going to get bored and toss them away.

    I read/listen to reviews but I haven't actually watched any WWE in weeks, though there are a couple of Raw matches from Monday just gone I've been meaning to get around to.

    I'm gutted they're shit enough to not just let Lee do his thing on the main roster but at least he's free now. If I were him I'd steer clear of AEW for a bit unless he's just after the regular money, that roster is cluttered as fuck just now.

    Monay and B-FAB are odd releases.

    EDIT: Also it's about time Jax went if they're releasing people but Tamina survives again. She literally knows where the bodies are buried I reckon.

    I assume that's just a result of Vince shrieking in your ear for a few hours a week for a couple of decades.

    Jax was apparently fired due to be an anti-vaxxer along with a couple of others (Kross has to be one).

    It was reported that Vince McMahon made the call to release Kross because he hadn’t got over with fans after getting moved to the main roster
    "I dunno, we took his entrance away, we took his sexy wife away, we dressed him up like a bad Sean Connery cosplay, we even had him lose to Jeff Hardy on debut! What more does this guy need???"

    Kingston had people booing Punk for a brief moment there. With that and Punk really going for the 'right here in St Louis' stuff I hope he turns properly before too long

    I don't even watch AEW but surely he's going heel and they just knew trying to debut him heel was a fool's errand?

    Face Punk worked in WWE works because of the meta stuff, less so in a proper company.

    I think you're entirely right, no way he can make the most anticipated return in decades as a heel but that is clearly his best role so it has to happen sooner or later.

    I thought it was alright. No more, no less.

    I watched some.of Raw earlier. The wrestling was pretty solid. Lynch / Belair was VERY good, though unless she's beating her Belair needs to be kept away from Lynch for a bit.

    She's really good though. The improvement in her over the last couple.of years is visible and very impressive.
