Can't believe WWE buried Giulia like they did. She needs to get the *uck out of that company ASAP.

I know they’re both broken down now but this should still be a banger.
The arc between Vaquer and Giulia is insane.
I heard someone say Guilia should join Kabuki warriors and make Kairi the scapegoat of the group - wouldn’t be terrible esp if it gets her in the tag title feud.
Again smack down is the worst booked show I’ve seen in a long time prob since mid 90s wwf (seen is an exaggeration bc I watch clips mostly)
If pro wrestling were my fantasy football league, and I were TK, I’d be texting HHH multiple times a day trying to trade Guilia for Britt.
Nixon Newell, formerly known as Teegan Noc, and her girlfriend Miranda Alize are both free agents and walked out of Collison last night for refusing to job to TayJay.
Complain about not getting booked and how you’re not making ends meet as a wrestler then quit on a booking for the only company remaining that has the money to potentially offer you a well-paid full-time contract without having to try to get bookings elsewhere.
This is crazy.

Who gets to main event the Tokyo Dome then, Takeshita as the IWGP champ or Okada in the Tanahashi retirement match?
Adds a nice wrinkle to the Okada vs. Takeshita rivalry.

If WrestlePalooza is the PLE they want to hang their hat on over all these Vince named PLEs, then this company is stupider than I thought.

TKO Looking To 'Move Past' Vince McMahon-Created PLEs
The vast majority of PLEs under the current WWE banner were named and created under Vince McMahon’s WWE rule. For instance, 2025 featured Royal Rumble, Elimination Chamber, WrestleMania, Backlash, Money In The Bank, Night Of Champions, Evolution, SummerSlam, and Crown Jewel, all of which first...

- So are we done with the hand wringing over Ridge Holland? I didn't see it posted but he ended up taking responsibility for what he called his 'outburst' on social media. He admitted in the contract there's a termination clause and he breached it. Gotta look at both sides before yelling FED BAD or AEW DED. It sucks for the guy but 1) during his time there he was likely paid more than what many in this country make, 2) pro wrestling contracts are one-sided yet still get signed, and 3) venting about your situation, putting WWE on blast, and mentioning your mortgage as if it's WWE's responsibility was stupid. Set up a GoFundMe (which happened after the fact). There's not a correlation between his mortgage and WWE making bank. One of those is Ridge's responsibility. I'd say the same if it were AEW. I wouldn't be like, "just keep paying this guy who never drew, Tony!"
It's like the Mo situation. It's terrible he passed but the "article" about it circulating put blame on WWE. What former employer is going to cover someone's health expenses 30 years after that employee had stopped working there? Wrestling fans are so weird sometimes.

Everyone has to work their way up in a new company they don’t just push you right out the gate.
one of the most bizarre ones to me was Woman’s sister. On ‘dark side of the ring’ she went on and on about how WWE didn’t help her.
if something terrible happens to my brother, his wife’s employer doesn’t owe me anything
same with rehab and things. It’s amazing that WWE pays for it, but there reaches a point where you’re just burning money. Some people sadly are just beyond help
That's just how you get ahead in AEW if you start out there as an extra, often times they are essentially interviews and tryouts for AEW. Countless examples of extras getting work in 5 minute or less matches and then getting eventually signed on full time and many of them have become champions or ar poised to be future champions.
The US indie scene isn't exactly thriving, at best it's shrinking, the pandemic and recovery woes from it killed off quite a lot of them. The opportunities for women on the Indies are far fewer than it is for the men as well. Two of the biggest and most reputable Indies - Prestige and Deadlock Pro - just announced they are going on an indefinite hiatus.
Willow jobbed in less than three minutes to Brandi freaking Rhodes on AEW Dark, yet these two walked out because they were getting three minutes against TayJay

70B in cash is insane. Hope they turn it down, but if I had that much staring me in the face, I don’t think I could.
It’s still going they did some twitch stream - them and ridge holland have had a regrettable 24 hours
You're an unsigned wrestler brought in for some extra work, if your mindset is anything other than "What can I do to make my opponent look good? Here are some ideas, Mr. Khan..." then go find another line of work.

Is Westside Gunn calling Nick Khan or Triple H racist?? "I tried having conversations with 1 individual bc he’s causing all of these unnecessary cases and tbh he hates seeing a young black successful entrepreneur that could afford those seats."...

Turbo and I almost walked out last night when there was no Caesar salad in catering.

So are the Death Riders going to turn on Moxley during Blood & Guts? Or does Moxley get cowardly again when the going gets tough and quit or do something desperate to to save himself to screw over the other Death Riders to lead to them turning on him later?
Or hell maybe neither. The turn on Mox is happening at some point in the near future.

Which Blood and Guts match will have more blood tomorrow?
Will Skye Blue, who intentionally set another child on fire in church and laughed about when she was a child, set someone on fire tomorrow? And yes that is a true story as she told on Hey! (EW)
Will Mercedes run the blade for the first time in her career?

Was Dick Murdoch in the WWF back then. Seems pretty well known fact he was in the KKK.
I'm sure the IWC will handle those women's rankings respectfully.
My guess is Death Riders turn on Moxley, maybe he gets the Danielson treatment.
Thoughts on Cena winning the IC Title last night?

Speaking of never blading, has Claudio ever juiced in a match? I am aware of the botch that led him to eating the top of the ring post that one time, but has he ever bled for effect in a match before? I can't recall him ever doing so, but I'm not on top of these things like some of y'all are.
Seems pretty strange to be in the modern day 4 Horsemen, led by a deathmatch aficionado, and never spill an ounce of blood. I know he's overly careful when he wrestlers so does he have a hang up on blading?

He hasn’t in AEW as far as I’m aware. I can’t remember enough about what I saw of him in ROH to say for sure one way or the other. Never saw anything more than some clips of his work in CHIKARA and elsewhere.
But from what I remember on the indies from him, he’s never really gotten involved with the hardcore stuff. Even the AEW more hardcore style matches he has been in it’s just been him being more brutal with his offense than usual.

My guess would be your second thought. He will tap again, and the rest turn on him and beat him down for turning into a wuss, what they purportedly hate. He might get a few months off out of it, and come back all face-y.
