also I really hope they don't try and do any sort of real fights with MMA guys. That'll lead to crap like Bart Gunn and the early 2000s when Inoki was making New Japan guys fight. Hell even Jushin Liger had some MMA fights
As someone noted earlier in this thread.... 😎🍻👍
Yes. And it is in Las Vegas. On the same night as a Manny Pacquiao fight. WWE even agreed to make sure the show would be over early enough for people that wanted to see both Summerslam and the fight to have time.
I've said this multiple times. I saw Mick Foley and Vader at Lexington Comicon do a panel about their match when Mick lost his ear. Mick said that in his days at WCW it wasn't uncommon for people to show up at Center Stage and see their name with Vader and then run off and quit the business altogether. and no one ever thought less of them.
I want to say Vader got hurt once so Vince lost faith in him but he was way underutilized in wwf - meanwhile wcw maximized him

He could invent a time machine and then murder Lou thesz when he was 2

PwInsider folks reporting the Sasha-Bianca match may not be happening tomorrow. Banks isn’t even at Smackdown.
Maybe Becky returns tomorrow?
As much as I like AEW TK really needs to stop with the “we’re going to change wrestling forever stuff.”
AJ coming out with Punk or even interfering in the women’s match would be cool. Other than Brock I can’t think of anyone who’d be that big of a deal.
No way you debut Punk and Danielson on the same night.

Vince will never let anyone use licensed music again.

Impossible to know because TNT/AEW background noise is so muted.
What was a bigger pop? This pop was 7 years in the making lol
Gimme a few minutes and I can YouTube at least 5 in the Attitude Era that were bigger.
Hold on.
That was amazing!!!
They are even showing the clips on ESPN and they never show AEW stuff.

After a year+ of no crowds, that was amazing
WWE gives you lame ass Goldberg and John Cena. AEW gives you CM Punk. WWE better raise their game. This trash they are putting out there right now isn't cutting it.
Triple H returning from the quad injury is probably the loudest I've ever heard. Then you have Rock coming back to Raw as host of Mania, and of course Punk's entrance at Money in the Bank. All subjective though. Tonight was a special moment for wrestling, and I LOVED that Punk didn't mention WWE or refer to them as "New York."
Austin’s music hitting during the Rock-Mankind “butts in seats” match created probably the gold standard pop. For those of you who weren’t watching back then, you can’t imagine how over he was. I was in Rupp for the post-Survivor Series Raw and it sounded like a damn jet was taking off when his music hit.
That Punk pop was pretty effing loud, though. Some genuine emotion there.
