Mahal must be valuable in India.

Surprised Charlotte wasnt on there.

Holy shit.

Megan Repano will throw a fit.

 

[Kentucky Bandit]

The Miz makes $2.5 million....

 

[cricket3]

Miz is probably top 5 recognizable active WWE wrestlers to the general public.

 

[Fast3ddy]

Miz being a “top guy” for WWE shows the sad state WWE is in.

The whole shooosh thing that Gable does is one of the most annoying things ever. It’s not a heel annoying it’s an obnoxious annoying.

Miz is good at what he does and has been for a long time.

Right now everything he's doing is supposed to be obnoxious. He's a child's version of a heel. He is there to appeal to little kids. Its the reason he eats so many pins. If you've ever watched Disney shows the biggest antagonist isn't a dude who goes around beating the shit out of everyone. Its the annoying little dipshit everyone wants to throw pies at....and at the end of it all he loses because the little dipshit heel always loses in the end. RAW programming is meant to appeal to those kids and I'm surprised many people don't recognize it.

 

[TheBlueCat]

I' ve never understood the dislike for Miz. Hes been turning his scripted promos into chicken salad for years. Don't recall him ever injuring another worker either.

 

[WildcatFan1982]

I have a woman friend that hated CM Punk when he was the champ for a year because he is "ugly and selfish" and wanted The Miz to be champ because he is 'hot'

She probably picks her NCAA brackets based on Mascots. I know a lady who does that and won a local bracket challenge with over 200 people in it. She would be like “The Wildcats are playing the Marlins? Cats eat fish so I’m going with the Wildcats” 😂😂

Miz would definitely be top 5 recognizable active AEW wrestlers to the general public. In fact Jericho is the only one that would challenge him.

 

[Wesley91581]

Looks like Chavo is done in aew - that was fast

 

[Wesley91581]

Miz is fine - he is a great heel and has been there over 15 years and has no problem putting people over and makes the best of whatever’s given to him

Thats not far off from how I bet when I go to Keeneland. My order is this

1. Have I heard of the Jockey?
2. Which has the most bad ass name?
3. Which has the best colors?
4. Which was being an ass in the paddock?

Mine is usually "whichever horse poops before the race"

 

[WildcatFan1982]

less weight to carry

And always bet on the gray horse if it's raining.

 

[WildcatFan1982]

I think I'm gonna go to the Impact PPV on Saturday.

 

[Kentucky Bandit]

Miz is good at what he does and has been for a long time.

I have been a Miz defender in the past. In the early to middle teens he was probably the best heel in the business.

But now there is a better version of Miz in AEW....

 

[WildcatFan1982]

In all honesty The Miz is fine. He can draw heat and put on a decent match. He doesn't deserve to be a top guy but being a solid yes man for coming up on 20 years should at least give him a decent wage and a job for life.

I agree. I think MJF is the best heel in wrestling right now.

Also I don't think MJF would work in WWE and I hope he stays with AEW.

 

[WildcatFan1982]

I do sort of want to go see the OVW show on Saturday to help them out, but Impact is gonna have Mickie James, Cassie Lee (Peyton Royce) and Chelsea Green. Hot girls pretty much always win out for in person viewing. Plus Paristown Music Hall is slightly closer than the OVW arena.

 

[Nbacats]

WWE would neuter him on the mic.

 

[Nbacats]

Sounds like the AEW news is going to be that they are

1. Getting a streaming deal with HBO Max
2. Have bought the ROH library or have bought ROH entirely

 

[Nbacats]

Sounds like EC3 and Braun Strowman's new wrestling promo is going to be stupid

EC3 & Adam Scherr’s promotion announces their TV deal

Control Your Narrative’s been getting people’s attention ahead of their first live show this weekend, but lots of people aren’t impressed with how they’re doing it. While they have it though, they’ve announced their television partner — which has only raised more questions.

That seems to be the consensus too. I've heard that Rhodes to the Top is on HBO Max but I haven't tried to look for it. This will be only the second time TK has been on Dynamite, the other was the Brodie Lee show.

Dynamite so far for this evening.

AEW Champion Adam Hangman Page & John Silver, & Alex Reynolds vs. Adam Cole & ReDRagon.
Casino Tag Team Royale - Winner earns AEW Tag Team Title bout at Revolution PPV.
AEW Women's Champion Dr. Britt Baker & Jamie Hayter vs. Thunder Rosa & Mercedes Martinez.
Tony Khan's announcement.

Impact's show should be good, I would go if I could.

Should be a good show. Either TK's announcement is going to drag or they are going to have some long matches. They haven't announced anyone having a promo appearance like they normally do for major names (like CM Punk). And AEW isn't usually big on having a bunch of edited promo pieces dominating the shows like WWE does.

I will be ecstatic if the HBO Max deal includes the live PPVs and the ROH library since I am already an HBO Max subscriber. I've always wanted ROH Honor Club but never felt like dishing out the extra money for it.

 

[CrittendenWildcat]

Here we go....

 

[TCurtis75]

Bought ROH entirely. Things just got interesting.

 

[CrittendenWildcat]

CD needs to get his props, but BD will prevail. BD is going to be brutal to get heat before Revolution.

 

[Nbacats]

Still kinda blows my mind that Eddie Guerrero was in the first ever ROH show and he wasn't even in the main event lol

 

[Nbacats]

Surprised we had no HBO Max announcement.

Wonder if ROH becomes AEW's NXT, preferably peak era of NXT, not the shit that it is now.

 

[JoeSwag]

Yeah I just got the AEW press release in my email. ROH is owned by AEW. ROH could’ve been amazing if they gave a shit to spend money or make their show watchable on national TV.

 

[K-mac18]

Very interesting, I wonder why they don't mention the Low Ki won that first match versus Daniels and Danielson?

Had to look it up, Eddie wrestled Super Crazy.

 

[Nbacats]

ROH put on arguably my favorite match of all time, the Paul London vs. Michael Shane street fight
