[QUOTE=BurningHammer;14404526][B]It's tomorrow,[/B] but yeah. Gage, other than his massive notoriety among fans, hasn't been proven in a bigger stage like AEW yet.
This is obviously is Jericho's idea, with Moxley's approval of course. I know Gage can do decent actual pro wrestling match, but how can he balances what he has been excelled at and what he should do on live national television has yet to be seen.[/QUOTE]
God Damnit! I got my days mixed up. Looks like I'm watching it on demand :lol
Three references in tonight's Dynamite show pretty much confirming one thing:
- An show happening in Chicago
- Darby's promo referring to "The Best in the World"
- MJF's pretty reciting the opening line of the Pipe Bomb promo
CM Punk is coming to AEW.
Also, an little milder version of Nick F*cking Gage death match on national TV, completing with glass panel spot and light tubes smashing and stabbing. :eek:

That was cool. I felt like I was a teenager again. JR name dropped Muta :rockon: What a ride and then I marked out for juvie because it feels like he's going reach back and pull out his lionheart style next week.
Jericho is going to be one of the first names I tell people when they ask who is the best wrestler I've ever seen.

Some people have already mentioned that this Five Labours of Jericho seems to be either a retirement tour or This Is Your Life thing.
- 1st Labour: Shawn Spears representing his root as a Canadian.
- 2nd Labour: Nick Gage representing his early days with indie wrestling promotions like FMW and ECW.
- 3nd Labour: Juventud Guerrera representing his WCW years.
So, you may expect the 4th and the 5th to be about WWE and NJPW respectively. Could be Lance Storm or anyone with history with WWE. Could be Suzuki Minoru, Naito or anyone in New Japan roster now that the AEW-NJPW alliance seems to be secured.
WWE needs to sign some new talents. And Keith Lee needs to stop jobbing.
WWE released Bray Wyatt
Can we all agree that WWE is just slightly less gay than MMA?
[QUOTE=Lebron23;14408475]WWE released Bray Wyatt[/QUOTE]
WWE kept fumbling on pushing Windham Rotunda so badly.
Giving him the belt when he was the Eater of World, then quickly lost to Randy Orton in a very weird match.
Giving him the belt when he was the Fiend, then quickly lost to Goldberg in another very weird squash-like match.
Almost all of Bray's big matches in major events are losses. And, yes, win-loss in pro wrestling matters unlike some people say.
Not sure if Vince is trying to unload higher-paid stars to overload AEW and maybe bankrupt it? :confusedshrug:
Ric Flair is now officially out of WWE as well. WWE had kept him around by a legend contract.
AEW might try to get him for possible Four Horsemen reunion (Arn and Tully are active, Dean is around, Brian is represented by his son and JJ was there a while ago).
The former Ever-Rise in NXT, now under the name "2.0", will get a 6-man tag match against Moxley, Kingston and Allin on this Wednesday's AEW Dynamite.
They gradually got better on NXT but the "budget cut" mass releases happened months ago. I hope this will be a platform for them to stay alive in pro wrestling scene.
I actually enjoyed Randy Savage's stint in WCW. He can still put some great matches.
RIP "Beautiful" Bobby Eaton
He was a big part in WCW as a tag team specialist, mostly known as one of Midnight Express, and a stable mid-carder. He was 62 years old. :(
