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.

My brother snapped this shot. MJF delivering a panama sunrise.

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
