Sorry for your loss.
Eh I never really had a relationship with him once I grew old enough that my parents couldn’t force me to go with them to visit the grandparents every month. Guy was KKK rally attending level white supremacist so I never wanted to have anything to do with him after I learned that.

I’m only going out of respect for the rest of my family.

Dragon turning heel at a funeral is the least surprising thing ever

Excalibur had a rough start there - botches two or three things in the intro!
My sound was so screwed up this evening, I wasn’t listening. Did anyone else have the issue that everything would be normal, then the sound would go wonky, like they were all screaming for 30 seconds, or was it just me?

Also it would seem that Sting Jr.’s debut is imminent after last night’s events. I had wondered after last week if it was going to be happening soon with Darby name-dropping him in that pretape video.

Swerve's promos have seemed kind of heelish lately. There is no way an AEW crowd is going to boo he and the New Day any time soon, so are they going to feud with Riccochet's group? What does that do to Hangman's team?

Give Dragonauv all the AEW gold - he’s way better than Ciampa. Ciampa is temu Ilja.


Following an extended absence from WWE programming, former United States champion Ilja Dragunov is reportedly leaving the company.
According to PWInsider.com (h/t WrestlePurists), Dragunov's departure comes amid the expiration of his WWE contract.
False Finish reported that WWE "would have liked Dragunov to stay with the company," but Dragunov made the decision to let his contract expire.

Dragunov has long been my #1 choice of WWE talent I most wanted to see go to AEW.

That guy is an absolute demon in the ring and will likely be treated like a god and rightly so.

I don’t do fairy tales - what does that mean
1) It’s not a fairy tale, it’s a series of fantasy novels and various adaptations of said novels
2) The explain it live I’m five explanation is that The One Ring, aka My Precious, was basically a ring that granted the wearer power over everyone and corrupted anyone who owned it

Stinks we didn’t get the Gunther feud but I think once he got hurt and Brock squashed him it was over for him.
He was just not a good fit for WWE main roster. That company and fans just do not care enough about the in-ring for a guy like him to succeed there.

Even if he was a good fit for WWE, on paper he’s like a perfect fit for AEW. Of course, he could always end up being a bad fit if he doesn’t approach AEW with the right attitude, but your guess is as good as mine in regards to that. However, since he made the decision to leave WWE rather than being unwillingly cut, I think there is a better chance than not he would have the right attitude.

New Japan could benefit too -Jeff Cobb already came back
Hopefully they start paying more or it’s really not going to make sense for the overwhelming majority.

Plus the fans have become increasingly disinterested in “outsiders.” They’ll need to tread very lightly on taking anyone from American feds.

Social media is tough for wrestlers. MJF keeps that shtick up as well. If you are going to be a heel, and engage, stuff like that is going to happen. I'd say that they shouldn't be on twitter and the like, but engagement helps them get over.
And let’s be honest, probably like 95% of people in wrestler’s replies are pieces of garbage.
