Steiner a are the greatest in my eyes. The perfect blend of athleticism, strength and speed. Just perfect tag team, Scott was a total phenom.

Bret Hart having to retire early is such a big what if. He just got himself into excellent shape in WCW and was still of good age. We were robbed.

Blame Goldberg for that

His kick was stupid anyway. It was such a weird move he had.

It’s weird because it’s not a move you can really pull off with minimal risk. Bret Hart wasn’t the only big star he hurt too. He fractured Scott Steiner’s face too with his work.

I do hope Revolution will be good next week.

Dynamite and Rampage have been a bit dry the last couple of weeks.

(Send Hook on the Revolution card?)

I thought the last couple of Dynamites have been really good. Think the Revolution card is stacked.
MJF/Punk feud is turning into an all-timer.
Just when you thought they may be stretching it a bit too long they give us those last 2 segments and now I can’t wait to find out what’s gonna happen next.

Btw, if he wasn’t already there, Punk is certainly ascending into Legendary status with his latest run.

This is what long term storytelling is, puts that Adam Page story in the dirt.

Should’ve listened to the guy when he said that what he’s doing was very calculated.

What’s that exactly?

They made a big deal out of Hangman’s journey to the top.
It was great and all but I did find it a tad overrated by some(moreso The Elite stans).

Lok, they gonna unify the titles only to create another another title aren’t they?
What’s it gonna be? The Multiverse Champion? The Space Champion?

Surely it will still be the same two belts, with one champion (Reigns) holding both. I know that isn’t technically unifying the belts but if they’re still planning on having two world championship level belts (which I think is stupid) then that’s how they do it.

Dolph: So how good do you want me to make Young Steiner look?
Vince: YES.

It wasn’t gonna take long tbf.

What’s the benefit of a deal with HBO Max?

AEW Library, it’s essentially gonna be a streaming platform like Peacock is for WWE.
So every show, PPV or other event(we know they have filmed stuff that hasn’t been aired yet) will be there to stream on-demand.
I guess the big question is what the second point means. Did Tony acquire the ROH library, perhaps joining forces with NJPW, maybe both?

Can’t see the market for an AEW library they’ve been about for what? 2 years?

WWE
WCW
ECW
Georgia Championship Wrestling
WCCW

There’s a big library WWE have spanning decades and featuring the golden era of massive promotions and legendary territories.

It’s a good step for AEW but who really wants to buy into such a catalogue ?

I kind of get where you’re coming from. I was wondering about that as well when AEW fans were losing it when the rumours started. AEW may not have the global audience of WWE but the following they have is hardcore and they want to have access to it on-demand like that.
I think that’s where the additional International catalog that Zarian mentions comes into play. Something like the ROH library essentially balances things out to make it a more attractive offer. You also get the rights to the All-In PPV that started it all.

The only appeal of an AEW library to me is that they have had some pretty memorable matches and there’s not many ways that I’m aware of to watch previous events. There are some matches I haven’t seen that I’d be curious to. That said, no way I’d pay the same fee I do for WWE network.

Well, that sunuvabitch went ahead and did it!
Tony kicked off the show with the announcement. I won’t say what it is to keep it spoiler free but it’s a big development for AEW.

Good man. Us Englanders watch it on the following weekend given when it’s televised lol
