If it’s been that good why wasn’t in on aew tv instead of roh?
At least they’ve put for effort into collision so it’s not just more or less filler.

That’s what she wanted to do and she wanted to mentor Billie Starkz in ROH
Ok so it’s essentially the same thing Christian is doing with nick wayne? Why do it with an audience of 5000 honor club subs instead of on AEW tv?
Have you seen how little time Nick Wayne has gotten and how little time the AEW women typically get?
Toni storm has been featured on dynamite and collision as well as Sasha.
If there’s a compelling angle surely it will get due tv time? That’s how the business works.
And it got the TV time it needed, in ROH. That's how the business works.
Same reason why the best women's work in WWE is happening in NXT and not on Raw or Smackdown.
Watch Collision and/or learn how to use the internet and you'll know.
So this was pretty cool from last night's Collision.
Also if you have time watch the main event with Jayme Hater and Billie Starkz.

Billie is legit as I e been saying for a while now. The springboard Hayterade to win the match was chef’s kiss.

This has been an incredible opening to Raw. Cody and Cena are killing these promos.
Yep, that's probably the best Cody has sounded in years and Cena went right at him too.
I’ll have to catch it later - sounds like it was really good.
From the March 27 2025 edition of Wrestling Observer radio. around the 48:45 mark, when discussing the backstage segment with Thunder Rosa on Dynamite and the later match where she was beaten.
He also very briefly compared her to Hulk Hogan, then immediately backtracked saying he didn’t want to say that because she’s not as big as Hogan. But the fact that it even crossed his mind for a millisecond is pretty incredible praise.
“Toni Storm is like a superstar at this point…
There’s a difference between your A1 star and a star, and Toni is now an A1 star. She’s now like Dusty Rhodes, or Hulk Hogan… I don’t want to say Hulk Hogan, because that’s probably too big.
But she’s a big frickin’ star”

"She's now like Dusty Rhodes, or Hulk Hogan..." and "I don’t want to say Hulk Hogan, because that’s probably too big."
Probably, he says. Probably.
And every wrestling fan over the age of 40 rolled their eyes into a new dimension. Is Storm great? Of course. But in no way is Toni Storm in the same universe as Hulk Hogan or Dusty for that manner. Good gravy, when Meltzer goes all in, he really goes full throttle for clicks. In a year Big Bill will be Andre the Giant and Orange Cassidy will be Shawn Michaels.

oh and for the record, I don’t care if WWE mentions AEW and vice versa. I always hated when WWE would act like wrestling never existed outside of what they owned. People who get all fussy about it need to grow up.
We’ve got some unofficial AEW Dynamite on Max numbers. Max + TNT viewership has them over a million. Though TNT’s numbers are live+same day while these Max numbers are live+24 hours.

Cause they’re all rapey and bad and stuff I get it. I prefer to judge my wrestling on its morals also so I’m with ya.
WWE last ran the Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle in September and drew over 13K. Back in April 2023 they did 10.5K there
2 weeks out from their return to the arena and they are only at 7.2K with much of the hard cam side not even being opened
This is what the September show looked like two weeks out

Really enjoyed that show, finally. I wanna live somewhere where Raw is on at 3 or 4pm every week.
Said it once and will say again: AEW wanted to be seen as competition and now WWE sees them as such. What did you think was going to happen next? Triple H and current talent just aren't dumb enough to literally say "AEW" or "Tony Khan" on their tv. AEW did lots of crowing towards WWE/NXT over the years. Some of it fun, some of it cringy. They barked at WWE constantly. Well, WWE knows they exist and if you thought they'd play nice, esp. after all the prodding from Tony, I don't know what to tell ya.
Far as references go, Punk should probably retire his and move on. With Cody, it's a part of his story and it's going to be used. Stardust was awful, he left and created something that instantly became the number two promotion, was rejected by his creation, then came back home and was welcomed as a hero. Most of that happening after the death of his father, a legend.

I'd like more info rather than "sources" from a guy obsessed with Vince's sex crimes on those Max numbers.
It'd be great if true but I'm supposed to believe an additional half million people have been watching AEW via Max weekly? This as the dedicated fans have repeatedly said the main storyline is trash and the weekly shows aren't that important. If those numbers were true, Tony would know. And if Tony knew, he'd be screaming it from a mountaintop nonstop.
Don't pee on a man's leg and tell him it's raining.
