Never seen anything like that Jericho vs need dental work match before on regular TV, that was incredible. Yes seen where Cage came from before.

Guessing that legit cut on the arm was agreed on, part of the show,

Really having a hard time dealing with the WWE anymore.

What do we do with Chris Jericho? Top 50 all time and I am talking Lou Thesz, Bruno, Original Nature Boy, up to the right now.

Brutal match. I'm a little surprised it went that far. I guarantee one thing, Jericho felt pretty sore when he woke up this morning.

I hear ya, don't expect to see that on reg tv, I was actually shocked.

Do think the cut was part of the show.

Guessing a one shot deal for Cage,

Nick Khan says WWE is competing against sleep after Vince McMahon dismisses AEW
By Cain A. Knight Jul 29, 2021, 9:16pm EDT

WWE held a call with investors today to discuss their financial results in the second quarter of 2021.

Here is what Vince McMahon had to say when he was asked about AEW’s current position in the pro wrestling landscape compared to WCW in the late 1990’s:

“Well it’s certainly not a situation where...that was when Ted Turner was coming after us with all of Time Warner’s assets as well. That was a different situation. AEW is where they are. I don’t really know what their plans are. All I know is what our plans are. I don’t consider them competition in the way that I would consider WCW back in the day...”

On the one hand, McMahon is absolutely correct that AEW doesn’t pose much of a threat to WWE in nearly the same way that WCW did in the mid to late 1990’s. On the other hand, McMahon should remember that WCW surged to the top of the industry in short order after adding Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash, and Scott Hall to the roster, as well as the creation of WCW Monday Nitro. AEW doesn’t threaten WWE in that same way now, but it’s at least possible that major moves like the rumored signings of CM Punk and Daniel Bryan could significantly alter AEW’s growth and trajectory in the market.

Red hair is back. Is this a sign???

 

[rags]

I just saw on Twitter that the WWE has decided to release The Fiend, Bray Wyatt.

I bet after 90 days he signs with AEW.

Who agrees?

Me.

Something happened. He just disappeared in a NY minute. Hopefully we'll find out.

Now they can change Alexa Bliss' stupid gimmick and give her something better including another run at the title.

Former three-time world champion Bray Wyatt released by WWE after 12 years with promotion
Wyatt had last wrestled at WrestleMania, losing to Randy Orton
By Brent Brookhouse

WWE announced the shocking release of Bray Wyatt on Saturday afternoon, ending a long tenure of the wrestler, who'd seen success as the leader of the Wyatt Family as well as under his more recent persona as "The Fiend."

Wyatt is a three-time world champion in WWE, having held the universal title twice and the WWE championship once. He debuted in NXT in 2010 -- during the period the show was more reality competition than wrestling brand -- as Husky Harris and briefly had a place in the Nexus faction before returning to WWE developmental territory Florida Championship Wrestling for character retooling.

With Wyatt's release, no member of the original Wyatt Family remains under WWE contract.

If AEW expresses interest, does Strowman lean towards AEW?

 

[rags]

I saw something that said he has had a hard time getting over the death of AEW wrestler Brodie Lee (Jon Huber).

If AEW expresses interest, does Strowman lean towards AEW?

Vince should just sell the company already. He's now running it into the ground.

I'd let Trips do his magic first. That should have already happened. The rasslin business has passed Vince by. Obvious as anything.

While I agree with you, I think if that was going to happen, it would have happened before now.
