Cody Rhodes and Bryan Danielson both injured now too. That's the weekly shows looking bleak for the whole summer.

Check out the "media scrum" last week if you haven't. The bloke has lost the plot.

Cocaine khan and the artist knows as Chris Jericho

Cody has taken his obsession with Triple H too far.

[Dave]

Imagine six months ago telling people that Cody was going to be the stand out performer of 2022.

@The Palace Fan Just watching rampage. I thought the match between the bucks and lucha Brothers was excellent. Really liked it 

[Dave]

Yeah, Will Ospreay looks pretty good in AEW too. Hopefully he sticks around long term.

[Dave]

Impact Midcarder Jay White IWGP World Champion and cut a great promo on the AEW roster after.

Zack Sabre Jr. has challenged Bryan Danielson which would make the PPV worth buying in itself.

[Guest]

Sabre v danielson is the dream match 

[Dave]

Jeff Hardy has been suspended without pay following another DUI.

Booker T seems to be the only person with the balls to say AEW have to take some responsibility for the mental stunts he's been doing for the past three months.

Reby Hardy has unsurprisingly made a TikTok video to divert all attention to herself.

I've never known an industry where the backstage stuff is far more interesting.

PR team trying to divert attention away from Vince and Johnny the Pervert.

Zero people who have followed wrestling since the Attitude Era or even the Ruthless Aggression Era will be surprised by Vince's antics. The man openly had the female wrestlers be sexual with him on screen on a regular basis. We also know why John Laurinitis had a job. Never seemed to offer anything good and only made things worse but he was Vince's fuck buddy. Also explains why Laurinitis used to look for wrestlers in lingerie magazines.

As for Sasha, it'll be a great pick up for AEW. Someone with actual name value is what their Women's division has been missing.

Kiera Hogan does hate her though so we'll see how that plays out.

Sadly its all going the way we predicted. Vince's temporary resignation is all smoke and mirrors, Johnny Pervert is becoming the fall guy and the shows are still repetitive and boring.

For AEW she's probably the best realistic grab they could get. She has a big fan base that appear loyal and are not going to be regular watchers of AEW. So from a business perspective it could have a bigger impact than CM Punk who appealed to mainly the hardcore fan base that we're already watching. There's also the notion that Britt and Jade need to face somebody of Sasha's level to take themselves to the next level in the eyes of the viewer too.

I'm not sure she'd be interested in AEW though. She seems to have enough contacts that she could give acting a try. AEW's use of women has been sketchy at best too. There's also the issue that Vince couldn't stop her walking out when she's unhappy what chance has "The Forbidden Dork" Tony Khan got.

[Dave]

I'm genuinely stunned Tony Khan has wasted Will Ospreay on Orange Cassidy.

I'm not. The cokehead truly has no idea. None. Him and Jericho are a fucking joke. 

[Devil-Dick Willie]

The forbidden door card we wanted/ were promised 

Okada vs Hangman
Jay White vs Punk
FTR vs Ibushi and Tanna or even Sanada and Naito or Shingo 
El Desperado vs Any number or AEWs vanilla midgets (Cole, Jungle boy, Buddy Mathews) 
ZSJ vs Dbry. 
Ospreay vs Malakai or Andrade or Skorpio sky

What we got was a messy as fuck non existent build up, and an absolute mess of a card where neither promotion is keen to risk it's 'stars' losing to the other promotions stars. 

[Dave]

Well other than Jericho no doubt getting in TK's ear to sabotage the ending, The Forbidden Door was a very good PPV.

They definitely did the best with what they had. 

[Dave]

What on earth is wrong with him.

[Dave]

Anyone else and I would say "They're fucked" but the WWE is such a well oiled money printing machine they're making money despite having God awful weekly content for well over a year.

You just know if board of directors, share holders etc 'outsed' him he'll still be calling shots through family members or his yes men.

[Dave]

 

That's a shame. I was looking forward to seeing how much history they would try to rewrite.

G1 starts in 5 minutes. Here we go.
