Bari Weiss introduced herself to CBS News staff today on the network's 9AM call, saying she wants to "win," which requires restoring trust to CBS. She also said she was excited for staff to get to know the Free Press, and ended her remarks by saying: "Let's do the fucking news."

AEW Title Tuesday is stacked, not a weak match or segment here, but again asking TK to put more women on the show. Hopefully we get more details on those women's tag belts. Fingers crossed for a ladder match at Wrestledream or Full Gear!

The Demand would definitely be interesting. Admittedly a bit unsure about that faction in it's current state. I like them all but I don't see the long term vision of taking Ricochet, one of AEW's few non-DCF heels without a belt, who's fully over, in Trios action instead of PPV title matches

Panel 1:
A Purple person is standing holding a clipboard. A Blue Person sits at a laptop.
Blue Person: Woohoo. I’m the CEO of a social media platform.

Panel 2:
Purple person: We should hire a PR person to interact with the public
Blue Person begins to type on laptop and says: Nope. Gonna do all that myself

Panel 3:
Purple person looks concerned and says: Really…but…

Panel 4:
Purple person: You’re such a whiny little fucking baby

Santos joining Callis would feel like a retread, total deja vu. He mirrors Andrade as a long hair lucha heel, and Andrade just did that, and Santos won't get a pop nearly as big. I'd rather he feud with Andrade than join him. Maybe a short face run would fit him, or join LFI (fuck lfi though)

Really hope AEW doesn't sign Qanon guy Karrion Kross, and honestly I think I'm safely saying they won't lmao

With a women's tag title getting debuted, more dedicated tag teams will be needed to make the division feel competitive. It can't all be singles stars being paired up. Plus, right now the women's division doesn't have many heels, just Mone and the Triangle of Madness.

Everyone's all in on Statdaddy as World champ at AEW, so not surprised this got a free upload, but AV is undeniable. Absolutely love Anita Vaughn, and her tag team w/ Safire Reed. Great promos, ring work, total package and just getting started. AEW should pay attention

For real, I'm here to talk about the actual wrestling, not the business, or who's "winning" (the obvious answer is both of them, they're both profitable companies)

Your favorite getting killed in an alternate universe is perfectly fine, and not every comic can last forever. Industry sucks but it's not some wild conspiracy against your favorite imaginary person

That's true. I suppose I'm only counting those with credibility as challengers for the Men's World title. Andrade, Pac and Claudio are the only ones I see as PPV level challengers to Hangman who don't already hold titles. I hope Josh Alexander can get some better matches and hit that level.

Cassie @gamersocks.bsky.social · 6d

AEW's heel side feels a bit sparse, both for the men and women. We're getting a lot of Face v. Face and Champ v. Champ PPV matches right now. Hurt Syndicate turning face (by necessity really) and feuding with The Demand feels like it's taken two would be main event heels in Ricochet and Lashley.

If Ricochet took his big goofy gold scissors to Hangman's luscious locks, it's an instant blood feud.

Cassie @gamersocks.bsky.social · 6d

Andrade could not have signed on at a better time. If he and Kenny get a feud I can totally see him going for the Unified or Men's World titles before the year's out. Ricochet and Lashley also could step up to world title heels once their current feud is done.

Absolutely great #aewdynamite, disregarding the ICE shit and a bad crowd. Marina showed she can play the game, some killer submission offense and wild bumps. They've been fumbling the RoH Women's Pure title hard in many ways, but not putting Marina in it is probably the biggest

With Wes Lee getting demoted to Evolve (usually a sign of future unemployment), I'm hoping AEW can see the vision of Wes Lee as a Ring of Honor World Champion. He's been one of the best in NXT and booked as a jobber. Deserves way better.

And I mean, MVP said he'd like a high flyer... #wrestlesky
