Raleigh is the place to be. Has everything and more. Except Portillos unfortunately. It will be 10 years in December since we moved and zero regrets.

Got it. See, I understand why these things bother you, but we can't just take away the right to demonstrate. There has to be some middle ground, especially if there are examples of anti-Jewish discrimination. I am all for peaceful demonstration. This has not been that. You cannot take over buildings in a university demanding the impossible and restrict students and faculty from learning and teaching. That is destructive and antithetical to what they want. Also many of these are private campuses and not public schools. If you think J6 rioters should be prosecuted then the same applies to these misguided youths. Unfortunately they are turning most moderates and centrists away from their cause by behaving in this manner. Between demanding the University honor your meal plan while locking yourself inside is beyond parody, it is downright offensive to lower the American flag and raise the Palestinian one which happened here at UNC. That led to some violence.

Good questions. They didn't explain it clearly but each Vault is essentially an experiment. All the leaders for 33 came from 32. When the residents of 32 realized that they weren't ever going back to the surface they revolted and opened the door and the raiders came in (or committed suicide). SUspicion is Lucy's dad wanted that to happen because he has a past with Moldaver. Also because it has been 200 years he must have been cryofrozen for a bit or would do it every decade or so. I wish they would have made that clearer. I had never played the games before but love the setting. I just started playing Fallout4 on PS5 and it has pretty much consumed my free time. It is top 3 game I have ever played. Nearly perfect.

Maybe Tony should show the footage of Punk punching Matthew. The only way to get ratings is by using video of the one guy who drew for you. But hey keep listening to The Bucks. They know how to keep that IWC really happy that makes up 1% of your audience.

Because rankings in pro wrestling are dumb. This is a perfect example of why. You book yourself into corners and try to get out of it with 17 "eliminator" matches a week.

Fucking anti-vaxxers. We had this wiped out but nooooooo a friend of a friend who listened to Joe Rogan made you realize you should do your own research and not vaccinate your kids because they keep parroting a flawed and debunked report on vaccines causing autism. This is why we can't have nice things and people like DJT are an actual candidate for president. Its goddamn lunacy.

Hopefully he unifies all the ROH/AEW titles and stops with the two promotions all together.

I'll reverse my previous statement on Moxley. He can still draw and I hope he evolves his character away from the ultra strong style and bleeding every match. I think him and Jay White would be a good feud for both of them.

I agree with Peeps. I don't understand why Tony let himself be clowned in the opening of that EVP segment - just stop being on camera please.

I hope not. If so they would have been taken away by DCFS for the absolute filth he lives in.

The big problem IMO is that the idea of "wouldn't this be a cool dream match" booking has kind of lost its luster. At least for me. They need a big time angle that can carry them for months. MJF and Cole could be that if both can stay healthy long enough to do it. Kenny and Okada could do it if Kenny is ever up to it again. Maybe Ospreay and Okada? This got me thinking way too much last night. Ospreay and Okada are definite draws and a feud between them would definitely make money. Kenny and MJF when healthy are also money draws. Edge is kind of. I really don't think he was as much of a crossover impact as AEW hoped for. I think Switchblade can be but they killed his immediate heat with this long drawn out feud with the Trios nonsense. He is a star they need to push. Cole - maybe. He has shown glimpses but health and always having to be with his buddies are concerning. FTR is a definite draw. Pac I think is too. Samoa Joe definitely, but I really don't understand who I am supposed to be rooting for in this heel vs heel feud with Swerve. Oh and Toni Storm is $$$ Other than that list, I am not sure who else can be built on, especially long term. Don't say Danielson or Moxley because the shelf life on the former is limited and the latter is quite boring and they already tried with him as top dog and it didn't really get them anywhere. That's not to say there isn't talent in the locker room because there is. But not any that is going to really move the meter. Tony needs to sign immediate impact type guys/gals (sorry not MCMG goofs) or really focus on developing meaningful feuds with his top 10 roster spots. He has done so much in 5 years and I want to see this another 5 or more but he has got to start thinking bigger and delegate. Also hire some real business minded EVPs. I think a tough look has to be given to ROH too. Can you keep that going separate and keep spending money on it that takes away from money you could be putting into AEW?

Motor City Machine Guns expected to be signing soon. The Guns can still go not just as a team but as singles. You could get both out of Sabin & Shelley. I’d far more prefer a team like them over the Hardys. They’ll be a fun signing See this is a great example. What in the world does this do for your business to sign them? They are not a draw outside of the 200 people who remember them from their heyday in TNA almost 20 years ago! It makes zero sense to do this instead of signing someone who can make you money OR use that air time for your homegrown or "pillar" talent. It's not a fun signing, it is a horrible business decision. It's not like they don't have a dozen of those two guys on the roster already.

So the AEW Battle of the Belts show actually didn't have any AEW belts defended on it? And can we stop with all the "eliminator" matches. Completely overused at this point.

One thing that came from the All In footage is that firing your biggest star and also keeping one of your "pillars" off of TV for half a year for THAT is damn near indefensible. Long term story telling, pal. Jack Perry is massive box office now. He will be packing those VFW halls. Maybe even a bingo hall or two.

I think AEW could benefit from going back to taping at Daily's Place for a while. It might liven up the vibe of the shows. Right now, these arenas just aren't making noise and it sounds really bad on TV. This is not the look they want. I think taping at Daily's Place would be a good way for this company to try to reset a little bit. It would also save them a little money too. Would AEW snagging Gabe Sapolsky do anything for anyone? It would certainly free up Tony to focus on business instead of fantasy booking.

Fallout on Prime is pretty good. Halfway through and it does a really good job recreating the game feel. Very entertaining.

If that's a standard 2 weeks per year of service severance she is gonna be OK. Plus she probably has dirt on Vince to put into a book during her sabbatical.

He just can't help clowning himself. Wait, actually he can. STOP. LISTENING. TO. THE. BUCKS.
It's time to grow the business Tony. Focus. You can do it!
