he’s taking the easy retirement so he can be with his wife and kids and avoid surgery/recovery. I can’t blame him, but it is super disappointing for fans.

By all accounts including his interviews he lost his passion to put on bangers. He has a neck/back injury that he’d need to get surgery for if he wanted to fight Kenny or Will. Sounds like, while he knows he could do it if he wanted to, he has no reason to put himself through all that so…

Not for nothing but one of the best things that ever happened to AEW was him leaving. He’s clearly better off in WWE selling out his principles and wrestling fans like me who never understood Punk’s appeal can enjoy their favorite wrestling show without his toxicity.

Most of WWE’s problems have been self-imposed.

Due to the territory nature of wrestling, that’s not always the case. CMLL in Mexico is killing it. They’ve been selling out weekly. AEW’s interest, ratings, and attendance have also improved. WWE’s fighting market issues but they’re making decisions that have turned away a lot of their fans.

He’s up for reelection in Nov. He MUST be primaried and replaced by a progressive or at the very least someone who isn’t a traitor. June 9th, ppl in Maine! That’s the primary. Get him out! #Democrats #FUCKMAGA

As many ppl as possible need to go to his website and send an email to his office respectfully calling for him to resign or be primaried for being a traitor to this country. Tell them the American ppl will no longer tolerate it. It’s up to US to purge these traitors from the #Democratic party.

Autumn Fallout or Fall Showdown. Those are my suggestions.

I think it has a good chance of working just for her to interact with AJ Lee. I think that’s probably the main reason she wants to go back and why they’d think she’d fit.

Thekla vs Windsor has been excellent so far. Hard hitting as hell! Thekla’s tarantula jacket is just chk chk.

Heel Shida is AWESOME! I love everything about this story, holy crap. #AEWCollision

Just catching up on #AEWCollision. OMG I love Lio Rush’s Blackheart character. He’s like a Deadite. When he jumped on Daniel Garcia I popped big. 😄 I love stuff like this.

Not for nothing, but if you’re super upset about Darby, take a breath. I promise, everything will be okay. My lawd, ppl. #AEW

It confuses me too. Darby’s awesome. I think it’s bc Omega lost at the ppv and they’re mad he’s not going into All In as the champion. I loved the Omega/MJF story and match. Omega’s on my Mt. Rushmore, but I like that Max won. I’m interested to see it all unfold.

James Talarico. I think he’s the perfect person to unite the country.

The worst part is there were over 7 million ppl trying to tell the other 7-8 million that they were going to empower someone worse than Hitler. We knew this would happen. It was so ridiculously obvious.

Grow up, Jorge. You’re behaving like this is Twitter.

Will Ospreay on the "he doesn't sell" critiques.

#AEW

That’s interesting bc I’ve had the opposite experience. When I joined this community after leaving Twitter everyone was so welcoming and helpful. At the last show I went to, the ppl around me were awesome and we all had a blast. I love the AEW Sickos!

Yup. The Dynamite after Punk was shitcanned, MJF and Mox both cut those fire promos that helped move the fans and the company forward.

Yeah, plus it looks like he’s not keeping fit. The main impression his work gave me was that he’s exhausted and sloppy. When you take away WWE’s production, what remains needs improvement.

Yeah, most ppl who say they refuse to watch AEW are MAGA E-chuds. Due to insane pricing and terrible booking, the E’s core fanbase is being distilled down to that. The criticism from folks like that should be ignored.

… opportunity to get his character work over and the in-ring wouldn’t matter as much. If he got into better shape and showed in-ring improvement, I’d be all for him showing up in AEW, but right now, after watching some of his recent indie work, I remain unimpressed.

I’m torn on Kross. I appreciate his passion and creativity. I think he cuts a great promo and obviously Scarlet adds a lot to the act. However, I don’t see a passion for in-ring work from him. I think that’s 1 reason he favored WWE so highly. He prob felt he could have more…

There’s been build. Darby and MJF have both cut multiple promos talking about each other. It hasn’t been great, but it’s been built. My bet is MJF cheats and Darby protests and gets a rematch at DON.

Yeah, sorry, forgot about West coast.

Oh true. Yeah, 11 or 12pst would work.

I think the late time-slot is what makes the long runtime less tolerable and what prompts most of the complaints. #AEWDynasty

I think the best way for #AEW to answer the criticism that their ppvs are too long is to stop airing them at 8pm ET. If they want that “on-all-day,” festival feeling, have it start at 12pm ET on either Sat or Sun. That’s a great time for ppl across the pond as well.
