NXT needs new writers.



They have a whole faction that is literally based around the fact that they are all the children of wrestlers. That faction even recruited Zilla on this very show.

Speaking of Bowens, he and Harley Cameron has maybe the funniest interaction in AEW history when she said he was into her, he told her he was gay, and the entire crowd chanted “he’s gay” for like 3 minutes straight!


If Harley could not turn him straight not sure anyone could.

it’s kind of wild that in like three appearances in AEW, Borden Jr has accomplished more in wrestling than he ever did on the UK football team over his entire career.

Folks of Allen, TX ended up showing out well relative to what AEW has been doing this year and what they have done in the Dallas-Fort Worth metro. Apparently the best they've done in this metro since 2023

If you are like me and are unfamiliar with the My Hero Academia anime, this guy explains the Kenny Omega entrance from All In that was all based on My Hero Academic. Apparently it's one of the most critically acclaimed and popular anime's in history.

Video is pretty neat

Does being athletic mean you’re a good football player - is he fast can he catch - if he was so good why didn’t he go to nfl
Heck he wasn’t even good enough to do anything here, let alone the NFL. And he might end up being a crappy wrestler as he took it up really late.

But he pulled off a great looking drop kick which surprised me, to be honest.

Sorry I wasn't around for the Dynamite preview earlier.
Been enjoying the show so far tonight!

Instead of talking Dynamite on Busted Open After Dark this is what you are getting tonight. I like Johnathan Hood but I'm not listening to that.

One of the most non-Darby or non-hardcore spots I’ve ever seen

Darby gets his own category because he’s a psychopath

I'm a mark for a good dropkick. Seems like that is a lost art. Sting jr was pretty nice. Okada's is the best in the business right now.

That's WWE Radio now, I don't think they're ever gonna talk about AEW again.
Yep, they had LaGrecca release a video saying nothing would change and then immediately fired Thunder Rosa and stopped covering AEW. But hey, nothing's changing!

On the bright side, at least people no longer have to be subjected to Bully Ray pitching genius ideas like Jon Moxley and Rene should be involved in a domestic violence story. I assume that would have meant MOxley would have - in kayfabe - beat up Rene or god forbid their child.

Anything to avoid having wrestling on a wrestling show

Then they’ll use this as justification to demand someone accept a pay cut because they aren’t being used enough.

Conrad Thompson says he heard Kofi and Creed were asked to take a 75% pay cut.
Meh ever since Bruce Prichard went back to WWE and Conrad lost out on some listeners to that podcast and had to rebrand, and then WWE started their network of podcasts that compete with his for listeners, Conrad has been butthurt and anti-anything WWE so I take anything he says with a grain of salt, just like I'll take anything WWE schills say about AEW with a grain of salt. Everybody in "wrestling journalism" these days has an agenda unfortunately.

I’m waiting for Thekla to say something completely awful if she really is drinking during her promos - she has no filter

Everyone hates Sasha so much Thekla gets cheered calling her a dumb b*tch

I have to think they aren’t actually letting her drink like that, because like you said, she has less of a filter than Toni does. She will get them booted off tv long before TKO can try and do it!

Thekla was getting cheers before she went off TV for a month. The only reason it wasn't more overt before then was because she was going up against the biggest babyface of babyfaces in Willow.

Like I’ve said before, they don’t teach you how to wrestle in NXT. They teach you to be a stunt double that follows a script.

Steve Borden Jr is very popular with women on the internet. I told my boss about him because she grew up a Sting fan, and she became an immediate fan after seeing one shirtless picture lol

Meanwhile 5 weeks out from TNA's biggest PPV of the year and it's still over 300 short of selling 1K. This is just sad.
