I don't hate her and to be honest I generally skip through any women's match because I just don't find them entertaining. It isn't because I am sexist because I skip a lot of men's wrestlers that I don't find entertaining like AOP, Omos, The Acclaimed or Orange Cassidy.
I respect her and Naomi for betting on themselves. Wrestling outfits have taken advantage of the workers for decades and decades now. She bet on herself and won. I wish more talent would do that. WWE and AEW have plenty of money. Appreciating the talent a little more would be great, IMHO.
I disagree with some of that but I generally get your point b/c it’s not like because of WWE she didn’t get into Hollywood acting like cena/batista/rock among others. Kind of like pro athletes making money off shoe deals etc. Not everyone can bet on themselves but a few can. Its not like Sasha is the first or last wrestler to quit on a company it’s just the way she handled it.
I think punk and her are on the same trajectory - they bet on themselves and did their song and dance but will end up back in wwe.
That could certainly be the case about heading back to WWE.
I think she is a short timer in the wrestling biz. She’s got Hollywood contacts, so it wouldn’t shock me if she heads there after the AEW run is up and just hangs up her boots.
Yup didn’t they have a time in wwf when he had the jobbers carried off on a stretcher?
Sid used to kill jobbers. I held off the obligatory leg break gif.
I knew someone within AEW would bring up WWE/Speed. And it took hours, not days or weeks but hours. WWE does it vaguely so if you know, you know. Guys in AEW are like WWE NXT SPEED VINCE TRIPLE H NICK KHAN. Ricochet will be much happier in AEW though.
RIP Sid. One of my childhood favs and I marked out when he came back to take out Slater.
Baker seems average to me. Maybe she's improved, I haven't kept up with her career that closely, but she was the star of a mediocre division which has gotten much better in her nine month absence. She comes back and immediately gets heat backstage while shit talking the two brightest stars they've got.

If we get the privilege of Ricochet vs Hologram that would be incredible.
Dang that Braun/Bronson match was way more entertaining than I expected.
Dynamite for this evening...
The fallout of All In: London.
New AEW Champion Bryan Danielson addresses his "wrestling future."
New AEW Women's Champ Mariah May's championship celebration.

Does Mox write his own promos - that was terrible.
Meanwhile Swerve’s promos are awesome.

A friend texted and asked if Mox’s promo about “it’s not your company anymore” meant that maybe Shane O’Mac might be making an appearance. God, I hope not.
They could have maybe done that but instead they ended the show with Marina Shafir and then Jack Perry.
Just seemed like a missed opportunity to not end the show on a whimper - no one thinks Perry is beating Danielson.
Perry's getting a random title match because it's Chicago and in wrestling, Chicago is CM Punk land and AEW can't help themselves. They live for the cheap heat of their past dramas. Perry's entire character arc seems to be getting choked backstage leading to an actual star being fired. That's it. Dominik's character has more layers and half the time he's talking about tendies like an eight year old.
As for Shane maybe coming, it's a McMahon in his 50s whose had terrible ideas in recent years. Pop that rating while using a McMahon I guess, but I wouldn't pick Shane's brain for ideas. He'll be winning tournaments, holding a random title, and doing Rampage Underground.

Dynamite was very meh to me. Moxley looked like he’s been on a meth binge and just landed a job at a Sears as part of the conditions of his probation.
The Mone segment was pure trash. Nice party. There are 4 people there.
I don’t understand why the baked potato with arms and legs (Ishiiiiiiiiiiii) keeps getting on TV to have boring matches with 6 minutes minimum of no selling and standing strikes.
Swerve/Page in a cage sounds promising. I could give a shit less about MJF/Dick shakin’ Danny
Fletcher’s recent momentum instantly killed to put over the new toy in Ricochet.
Perry/Danielson - big meh. It’s almost like Perry is being forced upon us like Vince tried to shove babyface Reigns down our throats for years. Sorry, Tony, I don’t buy Perry as some kind of badass ass kicker. I feel like he’d probably lose a real fight against 70 percent of the audience and 95 percent of the locker room.
Lastly, having All Out two weeks after All In is just idiocy. Imagine trying to build an entire card in two weeks and have it not feel rushed and thrown together.

It's almost like someone who doesn't know what they are doing is running the show. 🤷♂️
Coming off their biggest show of the year I was expecting more of a "Raw after Wrestlemania" kind of show, didn't happen.
Sure Jack Perry will get booed out of the building in Chicago but of all the people on the roster that's who gets the first title shot.
Maybe the Moxley thing goes somewhere interesting but that didn't do it for me. There had been talk of Shafir joining the BCC but again that's kind of MEH.
C-E-NO
Three things I did like were Swerve and Hangman, MJF and Garcia and of course Mariah May.

Swerve has aura. He's the best thing AEW has going for it right now.
Everything else seems like it's on autopilot.

I think he’s booking how he wants to book, but it only appeals to a certain segment of fans. I was one of the lapsed fans who came back at the start of AEW and enjoyed it for the first 2.5 years, but as time went on my interest fell off.
