That wasn't worth looking foolish for and having your competition trend on it. Come on Tony, focus! Forget all that nonsense and move forward.

OJ (walks into heaven): Oh, hello, Norm Norm: What the hell? How the? OJ: I tried to tell you! Norm: If you didn’t kill them, that must mean it was… OJ & Norm: You guessed it, Frank Stallone! That was Mick Foley telling the crowd what city they are in level POP! LOL nicely done.

Tony has lost Uncle Dave, Helwani, and Thurston. Not good for business.

After watching that footage I'm seriously wondering how Punk has eluded attempted murder charges to date. Dude is unhinged.

That's awesome - I hope they get it. I am surprised though not every building is winterized in the state though? Doesn't AmFam have a retractable roof?

There was no lunge at Tony. That is a major stretch of interpretation. I can see leaning forward and yelling but there was no intent to lay hands on him or harm him in any way. And I had no idea that was Chris Herro - didn't even know he worked for AEW or if I did I forgot.

Minus a couple of bright spots this whole show was a disaster. I really hope Tony takes a pause and re-evaluates what makes AEW interesting. He has the talent - both in ring and behind the scenes - to turn this around but he has got to focus. Trim the roster and plan more than a month out. The lack of star power on this show and what is advertised for Rampage with this roster is embarrassing. And for cripes sake stop mentioning people that don't work there or the competition!

So Punk struck first, choked Jack, who didn’t get off a shot and Punk lunged at Tony. So everyone told the truth in certain parts ultimately. Cool, move on. It was good they followed it with Ospreay. Focus on the future and not dwell on the past. He pushed Jack, not struck. And where did he lunge at Tony? When he was being pulled away?

If this boob slapping slugfest isn't the highest rated segment then AEW truly has lost their audience. No the one with Anna Jay and Mariah May, not the Elite getting jumped by FTR.

I watched most of Dynamite last week. I'm watching this week. I'm not liking the low energy of the crowds. This show just feels dead on arrival. What's missing here? Can somebody help me pinpoint it? Dynamite used to be a very high-energy show. I got two names for ya... Matt and Nick Jackson. Live TV isn't internet vignettes.

A dead crowd that chants the name of a guy you fired. Outstanding work Tony and Co!

If I had to guess it is footage of Tony firing Punk when Punk said he quit. But this is going to backfire so bad for AEW. Tony is such a dope. Regardless of footage, people are expecting way too much and something that probably didn't happen. Everyone will be disappointed and everything Punk said about Tony is not in this to run a business will be validated. To even bring it up as an "angle" when you can't pay off on it is beyond dumb. Mostly right. Punk pushes Jack and you can't see the chokehold. Cool. Nothing in that should have made Tony feel that his life was in danger. This doesn't do anything to advance the FTR/Bucks feud.

Sooooo... rankings don't mean anything. If an "eliminator match" is won they get a title shot... This calls for a Shoresy gif...

Its true. Tony helped Cody become the biggest wrestling star on the planet today. Unfortunately for Tony, Trips and WWE are cashing in on it.

Tony can't ever win. Put on a 5 star match with the top wrestlers in the world..... WHERE'S THE STORY??!!! DUMB!@!!! Air some interesting footage of whatever it might be...... DUMB!!!!! JUST WRESTLE!!!! That's not true. Tony has done amazing things for wrestling fans and wrestlers. I am glad he has gotten AEW to where it is. I want him to keep growing it. But this whole thing is not the way to do it. Especially because WWE is about to launch into a whole new era that has people excited and buzzing. Imagine the Brewers advertising footage of Craig Counsell doing something terrible before a Cubs series. Would that put more people in seats? Get more advertisers? No. Sometimes you have to take the wrestling out of it and make it a business decision. Let's say this does pop the number, what maybe 100k tops? And if so, how do you keep them? Keep talking about a star in another organization? Not a great business plan.

They’ll try to pivot it to the Bucks celebrating that FTR’s good buddy Phil got booted. Dax & Cash want revenge, but I assume they fail at Dynasty since The Bucks did the job to them in London They can do that without doing this stunt. Honestly the best thing they can do at this point to really solidify Bucks as heels is have bogus BTE "reenactment" footage. People will hate they got swerved, the internet will revolt and they will have accomplished whatever they are trying to accomplish by showing real footage from someone's cell phone.

Spending your daughters 12th birthday in the hospital while she gets chemo sucks. And belongs in the other thread. HOWEVER, when we got to her hospital room, all the nurses and staff knew she was a huge Swiftie (as they all are too) and they decorated it with balloons and pictures and all kinds of TS related stuff. It was so cool. They all came in and gave hugs and sang Happy Birthday to her and it was terrific. To have so many people care about her and go out of their way to do that (on top of all the other support we have received from so many others) it just made it a special moment. Not how any 12 year old wants to spend their special day but they made it as good as it could possibly be and it meant a lot.

This didn’t sound like a good Raw by the read. It was actually quite entertaining. The opening promo a bit long and too many tears but still great storytelling and planting seeds. Good matches and RTruth continues to steal the show.

Official diagnosis is Ewings Sarcoma. This morning they are putting in the port in her chest and chemo starts this afternoon. It hasn't spread based on tests that have run, but we won't know definitively until they do a PET Scan in 2 weeks. 28 weeks of chemo treatment and around week 12 we will know more on how they are going to administer radiation and surgery for tumor removal. Going to be a tough few months but just taking it one day and one challenge at a time and keeping positive. I appreciate you all and the support you have given us so far.

That's the other thing - she wasn't in her kitchen, it was a green screen and you could hear the office chair squeak. They know their main voting base is dumb but they don't even try to hide their disdain from them anymore.

Biden gave a really good speech and made the MAGA idiots sweat. He even got that Oklahoma senator to agree with him on the border on camera! The rebuttal was ultra creepy and seemed like they were totally going for the ASMR demographic with the breathy cheerleader vibe. It was just disingenuous and filled with not facts, but their base will eat that up. No doubt that will be the cold open for SNL this weekend.

It's been a rough week in the Ref household. Long story short, last Friday we found out my younger daughter has a malignant tumor in her sinus cavity. On Tuesday they did a biopsy, spinal tap, and bone marrow test and we should know results hopefully by tomorrow. It looks like it could be rhabdomyosarcoma but will wait for the real doctors to let us know. We all know cancer sucks, but seeing your child go through tests like that is grueling. She has been terrific but knowing what is ahead is absolutely gut wrenching. Going to need an extra dose of KS positivity this week.
