I hope not. Would love to see him back in Impact or NJPW. Could see him going back to ROH now that he secured that WWE money.

Aleister Black was rumored to be cut today as well but no word on that yet.

Samoa Joe. Peyton Royce
Tucker. Billie Kay
Kalisto. Chelsea Greene
Wesley Tucker
Bo Dallas.


Ooohhh Iiconics in Impact please. And Samoa Joe

Kalisto fits AEW style. Perhaps teaming with Laredo Kid? Expanding the Death Triangle stable?

I'd like to see Aleister in NJPW but him and Zelina would shake AEW. Or another dark character in Impact

I just realized Mandy went from short hair to long in like a week. She's on that HGH (Hair Growth Hormones)

The IIconics

• Debut after WM34 (2018)
• Win tag titles at WM35 (2019)
• Broken up after SummerSlam (2020)
• Both released after WM37 (2021)

Just absolutely genius stuff

From the little I've seen, I'd say that the IIconics would provide some much needed personality to the AEW women's division.

“I don’t want to hear y’all talking about this ‘workrate’... and moonsaults. I don’t care about any of that. Ya heard? You want a great match? Nah - bump that. I wanna see two big men with big... chests and big muscles, bumping meat. That’s why I’m here. That’s why I watched wrestling as a kid. You want your five star matches? You want your 30 minute classics? Not me. Big meaty men slapping meat. That’s what I want.”

So good. There is a deeper story to E wanting Goldberg, though. Apparently the only TV tapping Goldberg ever called in to miss was when a meet and greet ran late and he wanted to stay until he took care of all the kids there. E was one of the last kids there. Wrestling is a crazy world.

From a quantity standpoint, yes. But one can argue Britt Baker has the best personality/mic work bar none of all the women in AEW, WWE, or Impact.

Am I the only one who didn't realize the face/heel are always on the same side of the ring during tag matches? Also shows that pretty much every tag match is built around the hot tag nowadays.

Hasn't that been the case since the 80s? Save for two years when they were built around concussions and neck injuries.

Here are some updates in case you're wondering where the following FAs are rumored to sign:

Tessa Blanchard and Daga - AEW
Andrade - Federacion Wrestling

And for WWE?

Andrade is supposedly facing Del Rio sometime this summer. Pretty sick.

It's probably safe to say Murphy is digging his own hole. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/offbeat/murphy-really-wants-you-to-know-that-wwe-forgot-about-him-again/ar-BB1gA14W?li=BBnbfcL

He's absolutely right, but publicly criticizing the WWE is not going to make the WWE help him.

The WWE must have dozens of veterans lining up for the chance to job to a 47 year old 180 lb tv... personality? Hey, he played a HS wrestler 25 years ago, so he must know what he's doing in a pro rasslin ring.

I suspect that you take wins and losses more seriously than the wrestlers do
