Well, thanks for swinging by to share your insight. You seem like a real barrel of laughs.

Yeah, its the same as the Steiners. Killer team, but not clicking against each other. I was there for that Mania match, freezing my ass off, totally bathroom break/beer run match.

Oh and Cody vs Dustin back at the start of AEW fucking ruled. So I guess that’s another good one.

Yeah, it’s impossible to know how the entire wrestling landscape will look in a decade. My lukewarm take is 🤷 sure I think he’ll work with them in some capacity again, based on what we know today. But happy to be proven wrong. It would be nice to see a top star not going back but still flourishing.

I don’t really have a dog in the fight either way, as I really like AEW but I’m not as… uh.. passionate as many on here are. None of this is “MOX NEEDS TO LEAVE” stuff or anything to get upset about.

Yeah, Tony pays him a fortune, I know - but wrestlers - even the very best wrestlers get stale or bored or 50 other things and want or end up needing a change of scenery. And he always has that potential Shield reunion in his back pocket if he wants it.

And yeah I read his book. Yeah, it doesn’t sound like he has much love for his time there, no need to shout. I mean does it have to be a match (like Bret)? Or would Hall of Fame count (like Warrior)? Or a video game ad (like Savage) for something like a 20th anniversary Shield edition of 2K?

I mean 1 and 2 are pretty banging.

I think so. No Doug Bradley and it looks like it was shot in an Air BNB,

Now, if I’d been booking (and lord knows I shouldn’t be anywhere near that) I’d have run Page/Okada and Page/Takeshita - just go full Bobby Heenan Family with the Callis crew after the Fletcher match. Also Page/Omega one last time. 🤼

I’m late to the party, what’s the story?

What a list!

You can keep your Blood and Guts. Cage matches clearly peaked with Fortune vs EV 2.0: Lethal Lockdown in 2010.

Or 2011. I can’t remember.
