I mean... your world championship better than all the others belt is pretty important. If you’re gonna splurge, go large on that.

The belt had a reported worth of 30k. The police report just listed 2nd degree grand theft up to 100k.
The Big Gold Belt is the best belt ever and according to the internet, it cost $12,000 (in 1985 dollars to be fair).
If AEW is spending $100k on a belt, that's money that could be better spent putting Joey Janela through wrestling school.
Thanks. I must have misheard the numbers. I was kinda curious how a 100k could be in the belt but I can see $30k. It’s a gorgeous belt IMO. It must be real gold. I didn’t care as much for the women’s belt though. Looked kinda small.
I knew there were crazy bumps in the ladder match but didn’t know how bad until seeing this. The one Matt Jackson took at 3:50 could have seriously hurt him. I don’t know how he wasn’t knocked out from the back of his head hitting the ladder. Play it in slow motion to see it better.
And that's one that will make me want to watch because Moxley will make it interesting.
If the match is indicative of the commitment to the win-loss record of its stars, then let me be the first to congratulate Cody Rhodes on being the first ever 17-year AEW World Champion!
This is literally the ONLY match I’d even want to see from them (past and present), and they’re literally blowing their load, lol
I swear, if the initials AEW weren’t in front of it, you AEW fans would be saying this is stupid Russo booking. You ONE HUNDRED PERCENT would
Apple don't fall far from that tree.
I look forward to the promos in which everyone talks about the Apple.
Respectfully disagree with this. A startup promotion can't afford to do a slow burn, old school, 9-month feud for its first world title program, especially if they're just now getting TV. You hit them with this to help get the lapsed fans in the door, and then you enjoy the next 144 months of Cody Rhodes being champion.
You either die a hero or live long enough to become HHH
First of all, Cody absolutely deserves the belt if they go that way. He’s hot and has had great matches. That being said I don’t see him winning. I think this will be where MJF turns on him and costs him the win.
It’s clear some bitch about AEW just to bitch. All of the elite lost at All Out except Cody. I guess he was supposed to lose also? It’s not like he’s the one booking himself to win everytime. The EVP’s have said before that all four of them must agree on something for it to happen. So if they’re the ones booking then it’s having to be co-signed by atleast 3 other people. And yes he’s getting the title shot due to his record. Tony Khan mentioned that.

Few other tidbits.
This may have been posted earlier. Sorry if so. Ric Flair is threatening to sue WWE over the use of “The Man.” He filed for trademark of “the man” just recently and then went to wwe and told them they needed to pay royalties to use it. Vince basically brushed him off so now Ric is threatening to sue. Is it petty? Sure. But wwe has and would do the same exact thing so I say get that money Ric.
Scarlett Bordeaux had a try out at WWE. Hated to hear that because I was hoping she would land in AEW not just for her herself, but also because wherever she goes probably has a leg up to sign Killer Kross when his deal ends. I just feel like she would be very little in wwe. The fact that she had to try out shows that.
Marty Scurll’s contract with ROH ends in November. He just broke up with girlfriend Deonna Purazzo who is in NXT. Would be surprised if he didn’t land in AEW but wwe will probably try hard to land him.
Matt Taven’s contract with ROH ends this month and he’s yet to sign a new deal. He’s an interesting case to me. I’d kinda like to see him end up in nxt to see how he would hold up there.

Nobody was bitching about AEW, I simply made an excellent joke. I’ve actually been pretty complimentary of AEW the last few days. Over course Scurll is going to AEW, but it’s not because he broke up with his girlfriend. As for their championship. You either keep it on Jericho for a while or have him lose it to some one other than Cody Rhodes, because Cody Rhodes is not and will never be a top guy. I don’t care how many promotions he starts.
And Taven has rolled everyone they’ve put against him so if he leaves who gets the belt?
Give it back to Jay Lethal?
I read somewhere Killer Kross was in trouble with Impact because he wouldn’t bleed at their last PPV.
They had to go find a blood capsule for him to use.

WRESTLING!
I've never heard of a guy getting in trouble for not bleeding before. That's carny as all get out.
Read the same thing. He wouldn’t blade because there was no medical personnel in the building. He wasn’t the only one unhappy with that but Impact has basically quit using him as punishment. He wasn’t used at all in their last tapings.
You gotta quit thinking of him as wwe Cody Rhodes. He’s lightyears ahead of where he was with them. I used to think he was bland, boring and nothing but a mid carder or even a jobber but he’s completely changed my mind and thousands of other fans minds about him. For example I googled AEW two days ago and one of the top results was a list of the top stories of All Out. The writer called what Cody is doing “legendary” and said he’s one of the best in the world right now.
Welp speaking of writers...

Pretty sure it wasn’t. I’ve actually never read anything he’s written other than tweets that some has retweeted.
Blows my mind how the majority here like to shit on Meltzer yet seem to like Cornette. I don’t get that at all.
I could see Riddle being pretty unpopular with the rest of the locker room with his attitude and the amount of crap he talks about everyone.
I read that Ward guy was the writer for Smackdown during the last couple years when people have said SD was better than Raw. Rarely watch SD so I don’t know. But this move could be seen coming with Vince rewriting the whole show week after week. Then they take the guy who can’t write for crap and put him on SD. Lol just doesn’t seem very logical to me.

I agree with most of this. But the live crowds really haven't boo'd Bayley. Maybe her storyline isn't good but she is respected by the crowds. Not really a pop until her turn on Monday tho.
The hug happy Bayley sucks. Lets see where it goes as a heel.
Sid, for that time he called Mean Gene a fat, bald-headed little oaf.
Sid, he really looked like he'd kill anyone. The 2 most underrated miss understood best big men ever is Nash and Sid.
I used to think Ahmed was so cool when I was younger. But listening to podcasts it seems he wasn’t very well liked by the rest of the locker room. Ron Simmons hated him.
Braun Strowman is a wrestler that got lucky he feuded with Reigns and those two guys made magic together fighting in and out of the ring. It goes to show you Reigns could be the Top guy. But also during that Strowman got over in a way where grown ups and even kids can get behind. Now I know Rollins is HHH boy, I get it. He's very good, but Strowman should get this title and feud with this end of THE WORLD BRAY and see who's the baddest going into AEW and FOX run.
