Trick Williams on CM Punk:
"Mentor is a perfect way to put it, man. He has been a blessing for all of us who would take the time to actually go talk to him and reach out to him. He’s helped me with a few things that I feel like, if the crowd knew about it, they would be very

move to bring Rhea back so soon. The buildup for Liv and dom storyline was still going good. They could have brought Rhea back in a huge way at summer slam!
“So they announced Austin theory and Pat McAfee which essentially was gonna be the Vince McMahon/Pat McAfee match, and still might be.
Im waiting to hear, like did they announce and now they’re gonna change it?“

Sammy Guevara fell off a ladder onto another barb wire ladder. Then immediately got up to do a springboard. Just to get punch off a ladder again.

“It would be change. It would be culture. It’s impact, and it’s history,
For AEW to get their first African American champion only five years into its existence would be big.

Lashley has had two great WWE runs. It wasn’t working in the new regime. Not everybody gonna fit in their vision. That’s not a good or bad thing. That’s just reality.
WWE: (releases 80 wrestlers, citing “budget cuts.”)
Also WWE: “Welcome to

Former AEW star Frankie Kazarian recently shared his experiences working for the company between 2019-2022, in which he expressed frustration with the company's lack of leadership and proper creative direction, describing it as "inmates running the asylum".

It’s the best reward watching people become nobodies to something. That’s what made NXT so special initially.
The big indy names coming through was really cool cause we never thought we’d get that in WWE. But watching a Bayley evolve was special.
The rise of Trick Williams this past year has been incredible to watch.
Great on the mic, improving in the ring every match, storytelling is getting better.
Star making performance in the Iron Survivor and is now in line to be NXT'S next top superstar.
These types of stories
"Vince McMahon just never saw in him (Cesaro) what I saw and what so many of you saw, which was a world champion.
But in this case, I feel like WWE’s loss is the wrestling world’s gain."

At some point NXT kinda lost the plot. I’m so happy Vince went down to the PC and said they gotta start over. Them long ass KOR/Adam Cole matches was NOT hitting.
IDK what's worse, calling it a PLE instead of a PPV like you're Michael Cole, or ignoring any 3 straight AEW PPVs that absolutely clear Elimination Chamber, Wrestlemania, & Backlash. They're not even the best 3 straight WWE shows. Almost any 3 straight NXT Takeover shows >>>>>>>>
This quality > quantity mindset needs to STOP.
I get it if it's a PLE with long matches like Survivor Series & Royal Rumble, but it's a B show...
5 matches is insane 🤦♂️ anyone else agree?
