Speaking of War Games...Blood & Guts - I originally suspected it would be Death Riders vs. United Empire for that. Then PAC's death threw a wrench in that. Now Ospreay and Moxley are going to be at the New Japan show the day before B&G. I read it's a 20 hour flight from Japan to Florida where B&G is taking place.

So I think it's safe to say that isn't going to be the B&G matchup now, and it likely wasn't what was originally planned either. ANd I still have zero clue what those matches are even going to be three weeks out. AEW just simply has to learn how to balance a damn schedule. If you're going to have a PPV damn near every month then time to cut virtually all of the TV specials.

My take on the Caster thing:

1. What he said wasn’t that bad, especially for a wrestler in character for a wrestling company.

2. His real problem wasn’t what he said. It was pissing in WWE’s blood money cheerios. Can’t be doing that.

3. Caster isn’t the best company man and probably is bow black balled from wrestling on national TV, but if I was running an indie, I’d bring him in, hand him a mic and say “go out there and go viral” and see what happened. I would probably also run the BS disclaimer Smoky Mountain used for New Jack promos to both cover my a— and make it seem more dangerous and edgy.

I thought I heard yesterday on social media that Carmelo was signing with AEW?

No one said that except idiots

I think MJF tweeted a photo of the two of them and the IWC ran wild, like they usually do.

Every tv wrestling company* is in bed with Saudi/Middle East now. Either by choice (WWE and TNA) or got inherited into it (AEW with Skydance takeover of WBD). Can't really be going at the blood money like that, they've executed people for their speech. Like damn Max use some common sense.

*I don't count whatever janky crap MLW and NWA are on.

Is anyone surprised Tiffany won the MITB? Seriously!
And we all know what will happen, Tiffy will cash is on Chelsea!
The only questions are when, and how?
Could it be when Chelsea and Liv battle it out.
I think a very unique way would be for Tiffy and Chelsea to be in a tag match, maybe even tag title match, Tiffy to get temporarily knocked out of the ring, just long enough for a Chelsea to get demolished (like a couple of Nia fat-*** splashes), Chelsea gets pinned as Tiffy rushes in too late to break the pin. She reaches over for the briefcase and cashes in right then.

Tiffy could also fail to cash in - I really like Chelsea as champ and she could play the I knew you were going to turn but was one step ahead angle.

Seems awfully presumptuous to seemingly think he is a lock for WWE. Do TNA contracts come with a WWE right of first refusal if they get an AEW offer or something?

Something I repeated years ago AEW should do but got tired of beating a dead horse over it. No one gives a damn about the ROH/Dark matches AEW runs except the nerdiest of wrestling nerds.

Well since I recognize Amazon Prime as a legitimate tv operation, Max still has a chance to land at a tv wrestling company now
