Uk athletics is a joke currently outside of football and volleyball so I guess this will be a distraction from pope’s ineptitude.

He’s asking them to spend more hopefully the new AD buys In
guessing the danhausen is bc rupp is sd on Friday
And somehow Edge looks like he’s 20 years older than Lashley, Benjamin, and Joe
Looks like lowers go for around 40 bucks all the way up to about 375 for floor seats.
As dumb as it is, I'm enjoying most of the Danhausen stuff. The backstage segment with him tinkering in his "lab" fell flat but the in front of the crowd stuff has been golden. I watch Svengoolie/House of Svengoolie and it's that type of humor. What's funny is Cornette and Last wanted to bury his match with Kit but as they described Kit being cursed and the pyro "shooting up his butt", they were laughing their asses off. It's really silly but it is working.
Dragon wants to die on the 'Danhausen is terrible' hill but it's only because WWE and DH have sold the hell out of this and it's more over than anything in AEW, including (I'm going there) Darby. Yes, Danhausen is more over than Darby. AEW could've had a short segment here and there for him and promoted him to a point where his merch was flying off shelves and kids were dressed like DH but mainstream marketing isn't TK's wheelhouse.

Ya it’s the biggest difference between wwe and AEW - Wwe sees the macro picture (Danhausen makes us money and sells merch + cm punk too) AEW sees the micro picture (I’ll put danhausen on ice for whatever reason + I fear for my safety with cm punk)
No, I've never liked Danhausen's shtick. It's stupid, childish, clown bullcrap, which makes it perfect for the creative state WWE is in right now.
If it were happening on the indies or AEW people would be berating it. Oh wait that's right it was happening on the indies and a little bit in AEW and people were.
It was consistently amongst the worst things on AEW TV in AEW's first five years along with Jericho and Codyverse bullcrap and not once did I ever go, "you know what would have made this show better? More Danhausen." But I did go "you know what would have made this show better? Less Danhausen"
