What’s the over/under on HHH forcing AJ Lee to make out with Cena while Phil watches at Wrestlepalooza? Asking for a friend.

The fact that PI is still only a 15 yard penalty in college is a travesty.

I don’t think people watching on TV care where the show is taking place. Good or bad crowds do make a difference though. And 2300 has great crowds. Overall a dip post Forbidden Door could be due to schools being back in session. I know I have less time available now in the evenings.

I got tix but couldn’t go last minute and resold them. Their Hartford show was a blast. Met people from NY to BOS and everywhere in between. Only time at Mohegan was an early Rampage taping. It was fun but a pretty low turnout. I imagine it’d be full for a Dynamite.

Mohegan is a great size for a Dynamite, and more in line with the smaller venues of late, but the last time they were in Hartford it was packed. Bridgeport or the Springfield MGM would work too. Just don’t make me go to Newark! 🤣

I’m cool with running these combos back again, but I hope we get some idea of where it’s all going for All Out. Are we getting Golden Lovers/Bucks? HangMega/Bucks? Hangman/Alexander?
BugsySig (@bugsysig.bsky.social) reply parent
Once they realize nothing they do, have done, or will do will hurt #AEW everyone will be better off. Maybe they can take some of that $ they’re spending on counter programming & overpaying washed “legends” & spend it on paying & treating their talent better? Nah, they’d rather go bankrupt.
BugsySig (@bugsysig.bsky.social) reply parent
The original idea of the BCC was Mox and Danielson taking young guys under their wing. Bryan even name dropped Yuta, Garcia & Moriarty in the initial promo, but they never followed up after Yuta (& Jericho claiming Garcia). DR has become a different animal, but is still like to see it.
BugsySig (@bugsysig.bsky.social) reply parent
Curious how all these old white guys are always so concerned about the private parts of minors…

Nese and Divari are great vets who can still go, but I’d love to see them do more with Josh Woods.
BugsySig (@bugsysig.bsky.social) reply parent
#Knicks should pick him up if they can. 23 yr olds with his measurable, experience, and defensive instincts are hard to find. Will prob get bigger offers elsewhere, but you never know.
BugsySig (@bugsysig.bsky.social)
Yeah because the Cowboys were Super Bowl contenders with him 🙄
BugsySig (@bugsysig.bsky.social) reply parent
I think a “Darby’s Army” could be gathered. Eddie and OC coming back soon. Baby Borden training with him. History with AR Fox.
BugsySig (@bugsysig.bsky.social) reply parent
Should a been in BCC years ago but got sucked into the Jericho vortex. If he does join DR, the big question will be do we ever see Bryan & Nigel team to take on their “protégés” Garcia & Yuta?
BugsySig (@bugsysig.bsky.social) reply parent
Both can immediately get involved with the Death Riders or DCF (Trent & Rocky unresolved issues w/ OC, Okada/Elite took out Eddie). Also, I think Jay White will be back sooner than both Ospreay & Swerve. #AEW doesn’t need to miss a beat.
BugsySig (@bugsysig.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah that’s def coming. And maybe the issues between him and Okada leads others to leave the family. But damn that’s a lot of dudes: Okada, Take, Fletcher, Alexander, Wardlow, Archer, RPG Vice, Hechicero and then Cage & Davis who are both hurt.
BugsySig (@bugsysig.bsky.social) reply parent
What’s that? Long term storytelling you say?
BugsySig (@bugsysig.bsky.social) reply parent
Hurt Syndicate once MJF betrayed them was most logical. Paragon made some sense, but only if they went full heel. Could have teamed up with FTR & had Stoke as his mouthpiece. DCF is just loaded & guys are already kinda lost in the shuffle. And that’s not including Cage & Davis who’re out.
BugsySig (@bugsysig.bsky.social)
Only 1 title change at #ForbiddenDoor, but feels like an important one for #AEW. #Brodido can reinvigorate the tag division following an excellent tournament. Can’t wait to see them defending every week vs. all comers. And they’re not so overpowered as Hurt Syndicate to never think they’ll lose.
BugsySig (@bugsysig.bsky.social)
Some SPOILERY thoughts on #ForbiddenDoor (just catching up)… Brodido!!!! Fuck yeah! Wardlow joining DCF? Meh. Let’s see where they go, but that stable’s stuffed & probs the least interesting direction they could’ve taken him. Garcia didn’t turn? Wtf?!? Guess there’s always Wednesday.

BugsySig (@bugsysig.bsky.social) reply parent
For sure. Been saying this for a while. The “4 Pillars” MJF came up with were just the original youngsters, but no one other than MJF was ever main event bound. Darby is awesome but he’s too small to ever be taken seriously. These 4 could trade off the belt for the next 5 years no problem.
BugsySig (@bugsysig.bsky.social) reply parent
I’ve really enjoyed the more serious takes on both, especially SG.
BugsySig (@bugsysig.bsky.social) reply parent
I wasn’t as hyped about Ab Supes. It’s good, but too much Krypton early on. Absolute Martian Manhunter is trippy and weird and really good. Honestly the only one I haven’t liked so far is Absolute Flash.
BugsySig (@bugsysig.bsky.social) reply parent
Loved it when I was a kid. First issue of the comic I wasn’t into. But it kept getting better each issue so far.

Good shit. Absolute Wonder Woman is a banger too.
BugsySig (@bugsysig.bsky.social) reply parent
Same. I like the new series. Pretty true to the original with some slight changes and more depth. ThunderCats: Lost is good too. If you like those, check out Dynamite!’s SilverHawks, Johnny Quest, and Space Ghost. There’s also new Captain Planet and Herculoids series too.
BugsySig (@bugsysig.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah, if he wants the retirement tour over on the dark side, so be it. Someday he can go into the #AEW HoF if he hasn’t signed his life away to TKO. He’s been gone for months & AEW has been rolling without him. I do wonder if he’d come back briefly to put over Bill/Kieth just to finish the story?
BugsySig (@bugsysig.bsky.social) reply parent
I really thought there was no possible way I could hate SAS more.
BugsySig (@bugsysig.bsky.social)
Even w/ several faces out or likely needing time off, #AEW has plenty of others they can lean on—Cope, now Christian, Darby, Joe, Brody, Bandido, Briscoe, and Hobbs to name a few (prob Takeshita soon too). But most importantly, they have a face champ right now who can carry the main event scene.
BugsySig (@bugsysig.bsky.social) reply parent
News was he recently resigned.
BugsySig (@bugsysig.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah. Not like they needed help selling tix at that point. Could’ve just put JetSpeed in their place instead.
BugsySig (@bugsysig.bsky.social) reply parent
They had a promo for Hook a week or 2 ago so he should be back soon. He had some sort of injury, they replaced him with Hobbs, and then he made that quick appearance. People thought it was a concussion but I remember seeing a report later that it wasn’t and was due to something else.
BugsySig (@bugsysig.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah I think he’ll either cost MJF the win, stop others from interfering, or even get Max DQd by hitting Hanger.
BugsySig (@bugsysig.bsky.social)
#AEW #ForbiddenDoor predictions: -TBS: Mone -TTC: FTR after MJF tries to “help” HS -Grudge Tag: C&C (Perry appearance?) -TNT: Fletcher -IWGP: ZSJ -Unified: Coin flip goes to Okada 🪙 -WWC: Want to say Athena but Toni -MWC: Page after Lashley interferes -Lights Out: Team Ospreay (PAC appearance?)
BugsySig (@bugsysig.bsky.social) reply parent
TK likes to drop the graphic right after their match airs as though it was a “try out.” So if they’re signed I’d expect him to post it during Collision.
BugsySig (@bugsysig.bsky.social)
3-way at FD will be sick—and makes sense if they don’t want HS to eat a pin to lose the belts—but single-elimination tournament matches should have no time limit. There should always be a winner unless they pull the ol’ “double pin/knockout” #AEW

BugsySig (@bugsysig.bsky.social)
Clarification: WWE is NOT counter-programming #AEW. That’s Comedy Central putting a new South Park against Dynamite to draw their audience/maintain ratings. What they’re doing is based on pure spite & anti-competitive practices. Also shows low confidence & lack of understanding of their own product.

#Knicks fans/analysts always talk about how Mikal should lead the 2nd unit when JB & KAT are out, but maybe not should be OG? That stretch was eye-opening & NY needs to leverage that more.
BugsySig (@bugsysig.bsky.social)
Ace Austin & Kevin Knight should team up and join the #BangBangGang under the name “A/K 24-7” Also, Danny Garcia should join the #Opps and team w/ Shibata as “The Wrestlers” or w/ Hook as “Red/Hook” This has been random #AEW fantasy booking thoughts with Bugsy.
BugsySig (@bugsysig.bsky.social) reply parent
I thought the same. He’s def bulked up over the yrs. It’s always interesting to see how big or small guys look in different promotions. I remember Roderick Strong looking huge in TNA back in the day, then he was small compared to the avg Fed recruit, and average sized in #AEW.
BugsySig (@bugsysig.bsky.social) reply parent
I think people forget how dominant KAT was before the hand/thumb injury. He was arguably their best player, even over JB, & legitimately in early MVP rankings through the first 30ish games. With that fully healed & an offense that actually schemes w/ him in mind, he’s gonna kill it this season.

Been a fan of Ace Austin for a while (loved ABC as well) & glad he’s in #AEW now. Joining the Bang Bang Gang would be great for him IMHO. W/ Jay & Colton out they could do some trios damage. Also, super impressed with Lee & Blake. Looked really good out there. Bright future for those 2. #Dynamite
