Darby Allin used a music analogy to compare WWE and AEW.
"If people are going to compare the two companies, WWE and AEW, I like to put it as a music reference. WWE is like Taylor Swift and AEW is like Slayer. Taylor Swift can sell more records, but that doesn't mean Slayer
The LWO. They used to be a minor stable in WCW that Rey Mysterio didn’t want to join but Triple H revived it for nostalgia and treats them like a big deal and now Rey Mysterio is the leader. That’s the group I’m in.
Cody’s last AEW match took place in front of 5,000 people in Cleveland.
His first WWE match back is in front of 100,000 people at WrestleMania.
He won.
Everyone is missing the psychology of the Darby spot.
He went through glass and was out for like 20 minutes.
It told you this shit is dangerous. Don’t try at home.
Sting went through glass and kept Stinging because the match was about Sting being fucking Sting.
That was a great episode of Dynamite but imagine how much better it would have been if FTR lost so they could overcome three more years of adversity in WWE before returning to AEW to win the titles.
WWE's mistake was doing more testing.
The more testing they've done, the more positive results. When they were doing no testing, they had no positive results.
HOOK was undefeated, had no match last over six minutes, paid by AEW, won a title, ate chips that were likely free, moved a bunch of merch, shopped for toys, got a licensed theme and never tweeted.
Worker of the year.
Rock has all the time in the world for Cody, Pharaoh, and Cody's mom. Has even mentioned Dusty, Dustin, and Teil.
But he is dead silent on Brandi. He knows.
"I can't believe no one in WWE googled Gunther Stark and didn't catch the results"
This is the same company that didn't know when Cole's contract was up, didn't know Aleister's non-compete, and misspelled Oney's name on the release email.
I totally believe they didn't google.
Adam Cole met with Vince McMahon on August 6.
Bobby Fish was released that night during SmackDown.
Cole now gets the loudest reaction on Dynamite and Fish is gonna challenge for the TNT Title.
People keep saying “AEW isn’t telling stories” or “there are no good AEW stories” but I watch Dynamite and Rampage and I promise you Regal and Excalibur are gonna fuck.
I can confirm that Taylor Swift was in London as of yesterday, even touring Wembley Stadium ahead of AEW All In.
She is not booked for a concert on Sunday, leaving her free to potentially appear.
Taylor is longtime friends with Jeff Jarrett and even babysat his kids.
The Rock praised AEW on April 13. NXT won the viewership battle on April 15.
The Rock praised NXT on April 22. AEW won the viewership battle on April 22.
In conclusion, it doesn't matter what The Rock says.
CM Punk’s AEW run, if it’s over, is like the Warrior. The 15-16 Golden State Warriors.
Absolutely incredible run filled with memorable moments and great performances that people will overlook because he blew a 3-1 lead.
Family friends of the Briscoes went on FB Live and gave an update on Jay's daughters including all the injuries they were diagnosed with.
This is heartbreaking.
AAA using Ric Flair. Sting wrestling on TNT. Christian in the IMPACT Zone. CM Punk returning in AEW. NJPW putting a belt on Tanahashi.
And people get mad when WWE relies on nostalgia.
Tony Khan said on Busted Open he could have done Satnam Singh debut better. Wasn't his idea to do the lights out, but approved it. The idea came from someone with "30 years experience" and nobody in the production meeting shot it down.
Shoutout to the WWE loyalists. WWE makes your job extremely difficult and yet after every release, you're right there ready to go to war and defend. Hope you're paid well cause I know that job aint easy.
Jericho: let’s rally together. Let’s work as a team. AEW! AEW!
Moxley: Just cut this fucking bullshit and act like a fucking adult. Fuck.
Danielson: So the flaccid penis group meets at 5 and the healthy tree semen group is at 5:30. Sign up on this sheet of tree child.
Summer Rae drove to Natalya's house, said "you are very talented and would be in a better position if you stopped being a gossip," slapped her on her own front porch as the 36 cats watched, and then left.
Legend.
People give Tony Khan way too much credit for opening the “forbidden door” when Raw, SmackDown, and NXT wrestlers have been showing up on different brands for years.
Remember when Cody returned to AEW TV after the Brodie loss with black hair cause he wanted to do a nod to Death of Superman that no one got and pop himself?
The fucking king.
If AEW sees viewership boost from footage: See, they need Punk and this drama to boost viewership.
If AEW doesn't see viewership boost: Wow, all that and still no milli
I've saved everyone time. Please RT me tomorrow instead of making your own tweet.
Swerve Strickland addresses the report that WWE believed AEW paid him above market value.
"They only complain when a Black person gets paid, I will say that. We shake the foundation of things like that. 'Oh snap, wait. That's not what we would pay.' Then why are you calling me?
TK hit all the marks in that interview. Put over the angle and AEW. Plugged Dynamite and Collision. Gave no actual news. Took a shot at WWE. Got people talking.
A true master.
"People call AEW my home. AEW is not my home. I have a home in LA, Bulgaria, Nashville, and St. Pete. Those are my homes. AEW is just a place that I come to murder people and then I go back home to spend my money." - Miro
Miro fucking rules.
Sami Zayn should win the 24/7 Title and proclaim to be the most successful champion in the Bloodline because he literally has to defend his title 24/7.
It’s a shame wrestling fans don’t watch other sports and that’s why they get mad when AEW mentions WWE in any context.
NFL broadcasts acknowledge PJ Walker played in the XFL.
It’s okay that AEW acknowledges Adam Cole was in WWE
The Flair signing is the first I’ve seen (or at least remember) where the core and hardcore AEW fans are upset.
The others were largely met with “we’ll see” and then turned out to be good (Christian), nothing (Henry/Show) or a turn off (Jarrett).
Flair is a quick “nope”
Bryan Danielson and Tay Conti are gonna kick people in the head. Eddie Kingston and CM Punk are gonna kick the shit out of each other. Hangman Page is gonna win the AEW World Title.
Blessed wrestling day.
You have to hand it to Vince McMahon. In his last two WrestleMania matches he gave generational talents Bret Hart and Pat McAfee the worst matches of their careers.
AEW being a labeled a t-shirt company only for their biggest show to be headlined by two dudes who wore plain white t's when they agreed to the match is the type of shit I love.
*Kenny Omega returns as The Cleaner on Saturday*
Excalibur: Oh my God, The Cleaner. Jim, Kenny Omega is The Cleaner. THE CLEANER IS BACK!
JR: I see it. He's wearing sunglasses. What the fuck?
Eddie Kingston gives an update on his recovery.
"It's been a process. It's going good, until my insurance acts up, and that's when I get annoyed. Insurance is a fraud, folks. Just throwing that out there.
"I'm starting to get itchy at home. I can walk now, a little bit. I can
We know Sasha Banks is TV ready. We know she can carry a pay per view. We know she’s an amazing wrestler. We know she has mainstream appeal. But can she wrestle NWA style?
