This makes more sense. 

Really fun interview with Max

“I’m still not 100%, I had to come back because I don’t know if you noticed this, but the show without me…fucking blew a bag of dicks.”

Speaking to Love-Spo, Michael Nakazawa gave an update on Kenny:

Interviewer: First of all, I would like to ask about Kenny Omega's illness and progress, which has been a concern for many fans around the world, not just AEW fans. This took fans by surprise. Later, Kenny himself, who is on his sickbed, announced on social networking sites that he has a serious disease called “diverticulitis,” which has caused much concern. I think that asking Mr. Nakazawa, who has been by Kenny's side both publicly and privately, is probably the closest to the truth in the world, but can you tell us about Kenny's illness and his recent condition?

Michael Nakazawa: To be precise, it is a disease called “diverticulitis of the large intestine,” and it is a nasty disease that can be fatal if it is not treated properly. Kenny became aware of his symptoms just after a match in Canada, where his parents live. He was suffering from severe abdominal pain and was unable to enjoy his trip home at all, and the pain did not subside even after he returned to his home in Orlando, Florida. I accompanied him to the hospital at that time, and it turned out that he was so seriously ill that the doctor told him that he would have been in danger if he had come a few days later.

Fortunately, he was able to find a good doctor who could treat it without opening his abdomen, and just recently he underwent surgery and is currently recovering. However, it seems that the surgery involved removing about 25 cm of the affected colon, and he is now unable to put strength into his abdomen. However, I was impressed when I saw him walking on his own, even though it was a major surgery that would normally make it difficult for him to walk. By the way, Kenny has a cat named Dobby, and since he couldn't bend down to clean his litter box, I went over there and helped him (laughs).

(Laughs) After that, little by little, he has been able to do physical training. He is still not able to lift the same weights as before, so he is trying to find the best training that he can do while incorporating rehabilitative elements such as walking and exercising in the pool, and he is working hard toward recovery. He is trying to find the best training he can do at the moment.

Interviewer: Thank you very much. I don't think you can find such detailed information about Kenny's current condition anywhere. As fans, we don't have this information, and there are irresponsible discussions like, “When is Kenny coming back to the ring?” But I think it is very valuable to be able to tell you here that we are not talking about that kind of level of information in the first place.

Nakazawa: That's right. Since there is no power in the abdomen to begin with, there is a concern about whether or not one can perform in such a state. The impact is physically quite strong, so you never know how it will affect your internal organs. So I can't say anything about when he will be able to return to work.

I guess it's the Arlington Mayor.

Probably smart to take a break from Wembley next year before returning in 2026. 2 is fine, 3 in a row is overkill.

He was wrong. 

It wasn't pushing fake news from WWE, unless Brandon Thurston is somehow WWE. 

MJF should honestly just shut up about WWE. He comes off as "less than" when he talks about them. 

81,000+ was the number of tickets sold. 72,000 was number of people in the arena, wasn’t it? That’s what I thought. I didn’t look into it much after seeing that. Of course AEW is going off the bigger number.

Max put over Hunter, Cody & even Shane, to an extent. He was in character the whole interview.

If they allow interviewers to ask WWE related questions, then I’m fine with it. As long as it’s not “fuck WWE”. That helps no one.

Great video package on the history of the Tiger Driver 91 and clips from Misawa using it.

HOWEVER, as much as I’ve enjoyed this, Ospreay should never have gone for the move against Swerve at the PPV. He yelled for it and tried it, Swerve countered. It wasn’t like Ospreay couldn’t pull the trigger, which should’ve been the case, especially since this happened post Danielson match.

That criticism aside, when Ospreay ultimately hits this on Max at Wembley, the crowd will lose their fucking minds.

Oh no, Birdie is the biggest heel in wrestling right now. We could get Mick Rumble 99, only instead of Noelle crying her daddy is getting beat up with a chair, it’s Birdie crying her daddy won the AEW Title and has to wrestle more

Good for them. I wouldn't be quick to tie my future to David Zaslav and WBD, but if the money is really that extensive then you have to take it.

Not much doubt but....
