Here’s the holy water bit. I don’t know if it was in that YouTube clip. I watched the show so I don’t generally go back and watch the highlight clips of stuff I watched.
4.5 hour main card is a bit longer than the average AEW main card since AEW normally goes from 8 to around 12-12:15.
I don’t hate Guilia but SD needs Midcard people - Paige probably fits that perfectly. RAW already has 2/3 of the women’s roster.
Then call up some NXT women who are considerably better and who actually have a potentially good future in the business instead of chasing ghosts. And they probably come cheaper than Paige to boot.
WrestleMania week supporting shows are starting to fall in prominence.
No more Walemania - big musical event for the unaware
No more NXT Stand and Deliver
No more ROH Supercard of Honor
No more Bloodsport
I know some of the bigger US indies didn’t run a show there this year
Assuming Saudi Arabia doesn’t pull the plug on SaudiMania, If AEW does the smart thing next year and runs a big show in the US and makes a hard play for turning it into a weekly festival type thing, they could start stealing away some of the Mania week festivities.
While the fanbase is considerably smaller, it’s also a fanbase that is much more likely to watch or attend non-WWE events.
TJPW (Tokyo Joshi Pro) ran some Texas shows during All In week last year. Every show sold out and the show the day after All In set the company attendance record, even better than anything they ever drew in Japan.
The field Hobbs had to beat to win the Andre the Giant Battle Royal screams they don’t view his future in WWE particularly highly. Might as well call it the Jobber Battle Royal. I sure hope I’m wrong.
Alas, I hope Dragunov has the intelligence to leave WWE whenever his contract ends. Can’t even make it to the final four of the Jobber Battle Royal. With his in-ring ability and with a style that would fit very well in AEW, he would be treated like a god in AEW.
I’d say the same for Giulia, but she’s a Fed mark. So she’ll probably keep signing to be treated like a joke until they inevitably decide to cut her because they have no clue how to book her. She would be pushed like the top tier talent that she is from day one in AEW.

Apparently Brodie Lee Jr. looked quite good for a 14-year-old in his singles debut last night at Joey Janela’s Spring Break
Catching up on the Smackdown “high”lights since my body decided to betray me and make me fall asleep early…
It’s going to be Punk vs. Cody at WrestleMania next year, isn’t it? So which one turns heel, and does it happen this weekend?

It’s funny, I was watching Dragunov last night and thinking how much TK would love him. He’d constantly have a title on him.
Guy would be immediately booked to be one of the best in the world, which of course he is.
I wish more of these people who are clearly bad fits in WWE or AEW would stop signing to the company they are a bad fit for since both companies struggle to figure out how to make it work the vast majority most of the time.
If one company is only showing interest that’s one thing, go get your money. But if both are showing interest (and you can easily find out before becoming an actual official free agent) and the money is good in both places? Sign with the one where you actually fit.
Bar of the Week:
This week's bar goes to Drew McIntyre who waylaid into Jacob, the Bloodline and the whole Fatu-Anoa'i family lmao
"There's so many kids, so many damn family members those Fatus. They're all ready to wear Spandex but none of them is willing to wear latex!"
