Even if it were, I don't think it looks particularly cool and is a bad fit for a smaller wrestler anyway.

What the hell happened to her? I'm not imagining things in thinking that she was one of the best women's wrestlers in North America like 7-10 years ago, right? That match was absolutely horrible.

And yeah, if there's a worse finisher in wrestling right now than the Moneymaker, I'd love to see it. I've seen her do that move about a dozen times and it's looked good once. Surely the news that it looks like **** has to have reached her. Isn't there anyone in the back with enough pull to say "Girl, your finisher looks like ass. Please do something else."?

Also, I know that chair wasn't like an old school chair from the late 90s, but I have to question the wisdom of doing completely unprotected chair shots to the head.

Wonder if her ankle isn't 100% healed. Or maybe she's just hesitant with it.

Her ankle is probably sore from how heavy her massive ego is

For those wondering if Meltzer is still broken, he gave a 4.75 to Danielson/Perry.

Apparently Danielson has only had 10 matches in his career better than that.

The Jaguars absolutely suck, but Meltzer gave them 5 starts so, Tony doesn't realize it.

New deal with WBD sounds huge. $555million over 3 years with an option for a 4th. Dynamite and Collision will stream live on Max as well as continuing to air on TBS/TNT. PPVs will also be on Max, but AEW retains the rights and revenue. Rampage wasn’t mentioned and it’s assumed they’ll be killing that show off.

Additionally, a brand new show is in the works to air on FOX called Shockwave.

TK has been a busy boy!

Thought I read that PPVs would be an additional fee to watch on MAX

If Tony had kept HoB hot (and heel), they would have been a great choice to come "save" AEW from the BCC.

As much as I liked OC's promo a couple of weeks back more than anything he's ever done, I'm hoping this isn't a vehicle to get him over, but rather a long term storyline where he's just the first victim. Though Tony's history of booking scares me.

Tony always inserts a random person as the first challenger for a newly won world title. I have confidence that OC's just a victim here.

Such a weird dynamic in a number of programs now where the babyfaces outnumber the heels:

Everyone (although all mid-carders) vs The Death Riders

The Bang Bang Gang vs Hangman Page

Undisputed vs MJF (such a convoluted story that I can't buy into)

The Conglomeration (four or five people) vs The Learning Tree

Of course the heels deserve a beatdown, but occasionally creating too much heel sympathy.

Honestly, Full Gear is a great PPV thus far. I’m kinda surprised because it’s been a lackluster build.

My good friend's new boyfriend looks just like Tony Schiavone (but he's late 30s) - she's a passive WWE/old school WCW fan so I'm on the fence about telling her, could see it ruining the vibe. Maybe I'll just ask him next time I see him to say "IT'S STINGGGGGGG" and see how it goes

The Death Rider stuff has been as good as the MJF/Cole stuff has been bad. Take that as you will.

Finally, a pro wrestling t-shirt I can wear in public without scrutiny (as long as I tuck it in to avoid showing the logo)

Finally catching up on Grand Slam on Max. For all the drama rumblings with the event, this venue and crowd turned out great. Place is HOT.

More importantly, AEW is *finally* presenting Omega like he is in Japan. Truly the god of pro wrestling.
