Just can’t trust that guy enough to make him a big time champion. He’s going to kill himself one day.
It’s kinda crazy how much tk has invested in him to end up doing all this side stuff - doesn’t feel like he takes the biz seriously enough.

Darby will get the title one day because he's essentially become the heart of AEW which is odd considering I'm not sure how serious he takes the business. I mean, he up and left to climb a mountain at a time when fans were calling for him to "save AEW" and defeat a former WWE champion and current AEW champion. Punk called Darby out by name on night one of his return and that was out of respect, so clearly he saw something in him too. The fan reaction to him is interesting though. It's a lot of joking about how he has a death wish while others really seem to care about him. All in all, he'll likely be fine. Big E was safe as hell but will never wrestle again. What's going to destroy Darby is when he's in his 40s. Mick has walked like an injured 75 year old for the past 20 years. Johnny Knoxville has talked about being in constant pain because of countless injuries. That's Darby's real future.

After the Hammerstein taping tonight TK revealed that the first ever episode of Dynamite was supposed to be in Madison Square Garden, but a few months ago after the agreement supposedly WWE had the deal blocked

The crowd started chanting “F*CK THE FED”

"I like the current guy who pays me more than the guy who doesn't pay me anymore"
He’s been **** talking Triple H before he ever went to AEW.

Wish he would just spill the beans on whatever Triple H did like he says he will do one day. Same with Cody constantly teasing about what happened to make him leave AEW. Either say your **** or shut up about it already.

Andrade joining United Empire (former faction for Ospreay, Kyle Fletcher, Mark Davis, and Jeff Cobb/JC Mateo) for NJPW Wrestle Kingdom next month. His last appearance in an NJPW ring was in January 2015 when he was known as La Sombra.

It was never a fuc*ing sideshow. The Mexican wrestling company is no longer a sideshow now only because the white MAGA people came in to colonize it.

Lucha libre ain’t American
I’m talkin when them masked luchadores came rasslin and flyin all over the place in the high school gyms back in the day. That was definitely a side show. Hell a lot of times was even advertised on the posters as such.

Now when the midgets wore masks and were advertised as MIDGET LUCHADORES… holy shiit it was gonna be a packed gym.
