No one has been stripped of a title today so by that metric AEW is still on a hot streak. And I heard they added / brought back more guys who can’t cut promos and don’t look too jacked. They got that going for them too.

I wouldn't surprised if he got the Mikey Foley title reigns of about 20 days. (Since both of them got famous by destroying themselves.)
That’s fine too but Darby can wrestle a normal match too when wants too (though that happens very rarely). I just think dude doesn’t get enough credit for being one of the best people in AEW 🤷‍♂️.

That's the thing isn't it? Mikey Foley had a personality that could win everybody over and he only should have done the crazy stuff at first and laid off on it. (He did it way too long) I think of Darby the same way, he has charisma to win people over so he should tone down the destroying himself. (Admittedly I haven't watched AEW much recently but every time I check it out it seems like Darby's killing himself again when he's at a point he shouldn't.)

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?

That horrendous leg break will always haunt my memories.

Just to add on to this, for those that haven't seen it I really suggest NOT WATCHING IT.

Anyway RIP big man.

I just think Darby is going regret his fighting style in the future. He is going be unable to walk soon. He is charismatic has a great voice. But can gurn too much During matches. He is great as the plucky underdog. Who can take beating and still keep fighting back. But I can’t see him having a long term run.

I think him and orange cassidy should make a tag team but really play up the different personalities one is all out and the other is a sloth

He's 4 ft tall and weighs 65 lbs so you have to remember most bumps aren't nearly as hard on his body as they would be on a normal sized wrestler.

Whelp, looks like that New Day storyline they've been building up to for months isn't going to go through anymore.

So do we have a running line of TNA wrestlers the WWE might pickup when their contracts are up? So far it seems to be
Jordynn Grace
Joe Hendry
The Rascals
Rosemary
Josh Alexander

Kind of surprised they haven't brought Eric Young or Eddie Edwards on yet. BTW Seems Arianne Grace, the girl who helped get Jim Cornette fired from WWE, was on TNA and did a little bit with Santino Marella.

Oh yeah. All of those are gone. Seems like TNA is going to be an independent developmental promotion at this point.

AEW's woes continue.

Ok I should have looked at this before but Kevin Kelly's lawyer is Stephen P New which is the lawyer Jim Cornette promotes all the time. This is of course weird since Cornette is so left wing he's a socialist given the case with Kevin Kelly promoting I guess a right wing film. (Even weirder is all the calling Corney racist on the resetera thread, you know given his real political leanings. Then again to be fair Corney thinks all AEW fans are racist, sexist, homophobic pieces of shit. :messenger_grinning:)
 
I just wonder if because of AEW that NJPW won't bring back Kevin Kelly.

It wouldn't be the first time AEW had directly messed with NJPW plans (see: 2022 Capital Collision card). However, Kevin's side as he told Bischoff on a podcast is that he helped NJPW find his replacement and he doesn't want to mess with that or do all the traveling anymore.

Not that NJPW would say this, but from their side, they might not want him back anyway after how bad of a job he did his last couple of years there and how he crapped on some upcoming talent on the way out, like Tsuji and Uemura.

He should be making millions if it wasn’t for a Goldberg botch. I can relate. But it would be healthier if he forgave.
Beaten by @soulzbourne but to add to it Bret wrestled like 15 more times after that. Including a hardcore match against terry funk a few days later on Thunder

It also be better to admit he(bret) was the cause of his concussion but we know he won't admit this.
Ya that won’t happen. I will say Brett is probably the greatest wrestler of all time as far as skill and performance. But I don’t think he is solely responsible for the kneck injury. Goldberg has said he was untrained and I don’t think Brett is the only hurt by Goldberg.

It sucks that Brett had strokes and could not wrestle and make more money. I
The difference between him and the von Eric’s after so much suffering from both is noticeable. One learned how to move on the other did not.

Stan Hansen broke Bruno Sammartino's neck with a bodyslam. Sammartino spoke to Hansen and told him not to worry, sometimes those things happen in wrestling. I think Hart has some residual jealousy for Goldberg. Goldberg never grew up in the business but he got hot quickly because of his look and gimmick. Hart was on the downside of his career at that point in WCW, he and Goldberg should bury the hatchet.
 
A lot of crimes and attempted murder on AEW lately and I fucking love it. 2 back to back incredible events in space of a few weeks and also an ending to a PPV that I'll never forget. I'm hooked again.

Meh. Not a fan of choking out a dude with a plastic bag. Moxley comes off as a try-hard fake tough guy when he does shit like that.

Wow, you know you've been watching too much wrestling when you recognize Rockin' Ricky Gibson from Midnight Heat on Smackdown. (Where was Guy Tweakacetti?)
