Imagine you’re zooted at a wrestling show, trying to be inconspicuous. Floating on a cloud and hoping no one notices.
Then, Roman Reigns starts talking directly to you about how he knows you’re high from the ring. Eye contact, calling out symptoms, everything.
Cody: “I need that WWE Title worse than I need air. I need to do what my father couldn’t. I will die trying. I love this business! I love you people!”
(Polite applause)
The Rock: “Roman, you got a smelly asshole, you swamp ass.”
(Crowd goes wild, stock goes up ten points)
When Bray Wyatt was on, he was ON.
Of all the stuff he did in WWE, I always loved his goodbye promo from NXT.
One of the best WWE babyface promos in years and years - it’s a shame this version of Bray didn’t get to be a face. He would’ve been incredible.
Rest in peace.
I love my son. Nolie is a very bright kid.
But he just told me he thought it would turn black and white in person when Toni Storm walked out.
#AEWDynamite
This might be my favorite picture Nolie’s ever taken with a wrestler.
@theAdamPage
went out of his way to make Nolie’s day very special. I’ll tweet the other pictures they took together below.
I’m so happy Nolie is lucky enough to have the heroes he has.
This afternoon
@OfficialTAZ
was attacked in the parking lot and cannot announce Tonight’s
#AEWDynamite
5th Anniversary.
Taz is being treated by doctors,
@McGuinnessNigel
is en route to Pittsburgh & will call tonight’s episode.
Don’t miss Dynamite’s 5th TONIGHT at 8/7c on TBS!
Adam Copeland is doing what Chris Jericho thought he was doing.
For instance - he’s presenting Kingston & Briscoe as equals to him, which elevates them and freshens him up. He worked a Top Flight match and fit his stuff in where it made sense.
He’s doing really great in AEW.
What if Tony Khan bought the All Japan library just so Eddie Kingston could lay new commentary tracks over the 90’s classics, freaking out for all those matches he loves?
Back in my day, getting fired from WWE meant you went to TNA, called yourself PJ Polaco, and lost to Raven in six minutes.
Kids these days, with their cameras and their YouTube…
I love Bryan Danielson.
He saw the expectation that Sting’s farewell set and decided to go the exact opposite direction.
He made you feel a real big feeling, but set the table for the next heroes after him.
That’s Bryan’s career in a nutshell.
It was sweet that Shawn Michaels threw up the scissors for Billy Gunn.
The 90’s wrestling nerd in me wants someone in The Acclaimed to say “right back ‘atcha, HBK!” on Dynamite.
So, this just happened.
Nolie got to meet
@WillOspreay
backstage at Dynamite. It blew his little mind. He’s BEAMING right now.
He said they had a great chat and “he’s so excited to be (Will)’s friend”.
Thanks to Will and our pal Skye for making this special moment happen.
It is WILD how much Triple H stole from Shane Douglas.
The cadence is 100% Shane. He dressed like Shane. He started cursing as much as USA would allow. A lot of the HHH/Stephanie dynamic was Shane & Francine.
Hell, he cut his hair around this time to look like Shane in 98-99.
May I present the most awkward fan/wrestler picture ever.
Nolie met MJF yesterday and got wrapped up in calling him cuss words. The picture almost caught them by surprise.
I’m playing the career mode in the new WWE game.
Your character gets a bad gimmick from creative and overpushed immediately, then they blame you for your first headline show drawing a bad crowd and you get shot back down the card.
The realism in these games is incredible.
So, Nolie just took a swing at
@JeffTheShow
&
@MattTheShow
. Nolie definitely doesn’t just talk trash on the internet.
It got tense and we almost needed security.
#AllOutFanFest
Like, I know I’m caping hard. Maybe way too hard. But I really don’t want The Outrunners’ momentum to die.
The merch sales are through the roof. The live crowds are into them. Their work is good.
It’s refreshing to have an organic thing in wrestling.
I’m three episodes in on the Vince McMahon doc.
This feels pointless.
It feels like Wrestling 101 for non-fans, but non-fans aren’t going to watch a six hour documentary about Vince McMahon.
So you’re left with a piece that insults the intelligence of those who will watch.
It happened.
Within minutes of us arriving at
@SquarCircleExpo
, Nolie got the VIP treatment and got rushed right over to meet
@theAdamPage
.
You can’t take the smile off his face. Thanks to Jonathon for helping us out!
Terry Funk & Bryan Danielson.
The wrestlers who understood wrestling in all of its incarnations & forms. Every role on the card.
They saw all the colors of the wrestling rainbow when everyone else saw the ones that made them comfortable.
That’s why they’re the two best ever.
It’s kinda like Nick Wayne or Billie Starkz - they had to wait until they turned 18 to get the graphic.
@turbofloyd_
&
@TruthMagnum
are too young. So young. The youngest.
Despite not getting an "All Elite" graphic, the Outrunners are signed to the company, AEW sources claim to

If you saw Iron Claw and your reaction was “I want to see something like this for Chris Benoit,” you’ve lost the plot.
Iron Claw was a celebration of Kevin’s strength and the brothers’ love.
There’s a reason it didn’t end with Fritz brow-beating Kevin when he died.
Nolie watched the Kingston/Punk segment from AEW Rampage 3 times in the car on the way to my parents’ house today.
My mom got onto him for trying to sneak a pudding cup without asking, and he responded “I came into this kitchen for an escape from the streets, and you judge me?”.
If you’re a Cornette fan who spends their money to sit front row at AEW shows and openly dump on it, you should be taxed however much you spent so a kid can go have actual fun at a wrestling show.
That incredible Hologram/Komander match, followed by this - an all-time fever dream segment.
This is the spirit of WCW. I mean this in the most complimentary way possible.
If no one gets suspended or fired after all the stories coming out about this fight (Ace Steel but someone?!?), I hope Eddie Kingston walks into TV on Wednesday and pulls out someone’s eye Haku-style.
Vince McMahon is the prime example that consequences don’t actually happen to rich, white old people.
They just take sad vacations and then keep being rich, old white people.
Nolie made his signs for tomorrow’s
#AEWDynamite
. We’ve got really good floor seats that (I think) are opposite hard cam, so look out for Nolie.
@AEW
@theAdamPage
Hey
@TonyKhan
- do one of those wacky things you do where you just pay Cesaro lots of money to wrestle Dante Martin on your TV show for no reason this week.
I hope folks remember tonight when you ask “why ask the tough questions if you know they won’t say anything?”.
Paul Levesque CRUMBLED the second folks stopped asking to kiss the ring.
It’s not that he couldn’t answer the questions. It’s how nervous he got.
After tonight, I kinda want all CM Punk promos in AEW to be like he’s doing hyped up SNL monologues.
“Hey guys, we got a great show - Minoru Suzuki is here! So stick around, we’ll be right back!”
Here’s Nolie’s reaction to the big ending of
#AEWFullGear
.
A little more subdued than I’d thought he’d be, but on the verge of tears. He loves you,
@theAdamPage
