I don't know how many tweets it will take to manifest this, but Tomohiro Ishii is about to be in the United States for NJPW Battle in the Valley.

WWE managed to summon AEW Jon Moxley energy in Dean Ambrose precisely three times - once in the Chronicle documentary and at Royal Rumble and Roadblock 2016.

There’s not been a single good argument - not one - for AEW abandoning the rankings.
It was a USP, a reveal of wilfully stupid bad faith critics, and a genuinely amazing storyline driver when adhered to. The imperfections (stat padding, etc) were forgivable. Badly missed.

Pleased to see Becky Lynch back.

AEW has got to stop not-putting-the-belt on Eddie Kingston too. Guy’s been back five fucking seconds and he’s back to being the most heartfelt and over babyface on the show. For gods sake get him home to Ruthie with that title before some bastard rips it away from him days later

This is related to nothing on the shows right now, but I just realised that another reason Hangman Page should *hate* CM Punk is because he’s all buddy buddy with FTR. The same FTR that used and abused his fragile state in 2020. With ALCOHOL no less. And there’s more.
