Btw I wonder if they just do a normal AEW title match at All Out or a winner take all deal where Kenny would get the impact titles back? Would have thought impact would want their guys to win the title off Omega and not Cage.

I’m not a big CM punk fan, but was good to see him mention my main man, Austin Idol, in an interview

The Idol-Rich vs Lawler feud of 1987 was one of the greatest things ever.
Wolfie D, of PG13, had a scary situation today suffering a heart attack on a family trip
He’s a good guy that has really turned his life around. He has a go fund me set up.
I’m working on corny art tonight, but I may do a cartoon version of PG13 and if folks donate, I’ll send them a copy.

Definitely. Last was in March of 83. He teamed with Stagger Lee (Koko Ware) to face Jimmy hart, Bobby Eaton, pork chop Cash and Mad Dog Boyd.
The previous night, Lawler was teaming with the good guys in Memphis. Here’s footage
Andre in Memphis
(and I’d course, he did in the WWF. They had a marathon Tv taping in summer of 88 where he faced Savage in the main event which ended in a cheap count out when Elizabeth got “hurt” and Savage carried her to the back)
fans weren’t happy to see a cheap main event after a boring TV taping
Starting to think the rumors of Flair having another run might be true. He got in the ring and chopped Omega and put Konnan in a figure four. There was a pic of him working out the other day and his arms atleast looked in pretty good shape.

Surprised at the outcome. Makes me believe even more they make the All Out match a winner take all and Omega gets the belts back.
OK. With as often as I was there on Tuesday nights back then that I would have missed him. I don't think I would forget seeing him. Thanks.

I started going in August of 82. I saw that place overflowing (and they always had good crowds), but like people sitting in the aisles: Andre’s appearance, Lawler vs Dundee’s June 7, 1983 loser leaves town and the road Warriors facing the Fabs
As you all mentioned quite the evening last night.
In addition to Omega beating Andrade who had Flair with him, Tanahashi beat Archer for the IWGP US Title.
Archer asked for the rematch to happen in AEW and Tana agreed.
Will Ospreay showed up made reference to Moxley and saying he will be wrestling in the US for a while.

Flair's appearance in AAA = Violation of his non-compete?
I think this was discussed with Alberto del Rio and other wrestlers who were competing in AAA before their 90-day non-compete had expired. My understanding was that it was a violation, but that they were out of U.S. jurisdiction when in Mexico and it wasn't worth pursuing. But those were people who were expected to stay in Mexico and compete. I don't expect Ric Flair to stick around in Mexico, he's going to come back home and find work in an American fed. So, unless he received a waiver from WWE, isn't it a violation of his non-compete clause?

I wonder if they bring him to AEW with Andrade now. They’ve been playing merry go round with Andrade and finding the right mouth piece for him. I would hate for them to kick Chavo to the side already.
also in a promo two weeks ago, Dax said after cash’s injury they agreed it’s not worth wrestling anymore. They’ll have one more match against pride and powerful, but done after that. I’m assuming that’s a work, but honestly can’t tell.

I think del rio and sin cara did this and like you said since the event was in Mexico it wasn’t worth pursuing - or some lawyer combed through the non-compete and probably wasn’t explicitly stated so had no grounds to prevent it
It got over big in Mid South, so Jarrett stole, er, recycled it (lol)
I did a little research and found that ADR had filed suit in Mexico to have the non-compete clause ruled unconstitutional prior to performing, and was successful, and I assume that all other wrestlers subsequently performing in AAA before their non-compete period expired have relied on that court ruling as precedent to compete in Mexico.
How does a Mexican court have control of a contract signed in another country?
A Mexican court certainly has jurisdiction over whether a non-compete clause in a contract can be enforced in Mexico...and particularly whether the enforcement violates the Mexican constitution.
I don't know anything about the law but I would think a contract signed in the US would be likely be litigated in the US if broken making anything any other country said completely irrelevant. That would seem logical at least.
Well, I do know something about the law, and you're wrong. Very often the situs of the contract, i.e. the location where the contract is performed, is the basis for jurisdiction of a court to decide a contract dispute.
Are you saying that if I signed a contract in another country to be an indentured servant, that that contract could be enforced in the U.S.?

Andrade El Idolo was originally scheduled to win the AAA Mega Championship from Kenny Omega at TripleMania XXIX, but it was AEW who asked AAA to hold off on the title change, according to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio.
Meltzer noted that AEW has control over the finishes of Omega’s matches in other promotions.
Omega is now set to defend the AEW World Championship against Christian Cage at AEW All Out on September 5. Omega lost the Impact Championship to Christian on this past Friday’s AEW Rampage.
As of this writing, it’s unknown when he will defend the AAA Mega Championship next.

I’m sure she was given the okay but I’m starting to feel that some of her interviews although likely scripted are her actual opinions opposed to just to build angles. I’ve heard nothing but great things about how Ashley Fleihr is with the kids and fans but I kind of wonder if the apple not falling far from the tree when it comes to self entitlement? Don’t get me wrong, her and Ric have more than carried their weight and their companies but I bet there is some lockeroom tension (maybe not personal) because of how they often get(got) the preferential treatment.
There’s been stories the past week that Andrade’s end goal is to end up having Ric, Charlotte, Rush, Dragon Lee and Bestia (Rush/DL’s father) all with him in AEW.
Well Rush/Dragon Lee/Bestia are in roh so if they are still doing yearly deals they only have to wait a few more months to go to aew
Just watched the Broken Skull Session with Lashley. In real life, he's a pretty hard person to pull against. He seems to be a real good guy.
Just got done watching the Lashley BSS. He's a pretty hard guy to route against. If I had to pull for him or Goldberg based on who was the better person, it would be him by a mile.

This weekend, we had Jerry Lawler win a casket match over nZo, and Ric Flair chopping and figure-fouring Omega/Konnan. Wednesday we get Sting teaming up with Darby in a tag team match.
We gonna get a seniors circuit in wrestling or what?!? Call it Geezer Championship Wrestling (GCW)?

I secretly hope Flair comes to AEW just so he can turn on Sting one more time.
Should get the ratings for Rampage later today.
