What a retarded tweet. 

Company is 3 years old WWE had 20 years of no wrestling competition.

 

Sorry for "defending" AEW so much, but these are such bad faith comments.

WWE ahead of the NFL shocked me, much less THAT far ahead.

I’m crediting Jolly Ol St Nick at this point. Ever since he joined I’ve been enlightened by the true GOAT promoter.

Doesn't shock me at all. The NFL is highly regional. Outside of a couple of countries in Europe. (UK and Germany) the fandom is almost entirely confined to North America. WWE has global appeal. The NFL being ahead of the NBA took me by surprise though. The NBA and basketball in general is more popular outside of the US than our brand of football. There are also more international athletes, including some of it's biggest stars, playing in the NBA.

I'm surprised cricket has more audience than baseball 😂

Yeah that caught me by surprise too. Isn't Cricket big India? They have 4 time our population (1.4 billion). So that's probably the explanation. 🤔

Ahead of the EPL is a bigger shocker to me.

Somebody said Jeff Jarret is like Turk from the Marvel Netflix Universe. Nigga just popping up in every show for no reason 😂

I showed the tweet to a friend of mine in the UK via India. He asked me a question that made me think about Romans quip to Vince last year about his next contract. 
 

“Does this mean Roman Reigns is the biggest athlete globally?”

 

MINIMUM the regulars in WWE should be making 10 mill if those are the eyeballs they’re getting. 

[HD-Man]

Ummm, Tony you book the show, if any wrestler is ostracized its because you signed off on it. Punk can't remove anybody without your consent. ...

While talking about wrestling, Cornette accidentally described why shonen anime always draws.

Saintia Sho confirmed the Galaxian Wars was billed as wrestling. Kinnikuman crossover when.

Cole casually dropping Bullet Club and mentioning that Karl Anderson is the current NEVER Openweight Champion of NJPW. What is WWE cooking up here? 🤔

Do you work for p3? Lmfao 

[iStu X]

Calling it now but Sami will be the one to dethrone Roman and it’ll be at Mania. 

[HD-Man]

Jesus, Logan Paul is HIM. That Buckshot Lariat was SMOOTH. I liked his better than Hangman's version. He's only had 3 pro matches so far which is crazy, there are ppl who've been wrestling way longer that can't do what he does 

 

And that match  could've reached 5 star status if not for the overbooked, interference shenanigans. Him and Roman were cooking before that. 

 

In summary: Logan Paul is legit. 

[Psychoblue]

Logan Paul has found his calling in life. Future WWE champion.

[HD-Man]

Paul said he tore his meniscus, MCL and ACL  😭😭

[zatalcon3]

Logan Paul impressed the hell out of me tonight. I didn't see his past 2 matches so I didn't know how good he was other than hearing about it. 

 

I'm shocked at how good he is and I hate to give him props because I think the Paul brothers are the typical rich white frat boy douchebags but to be fair,  I can not believe how good he is. There are many in the WWE now who have been in NXT and the main roster for a few years and you can tell who is still green and who isn't, who still can't cut a promo, who still come off with no charisma or any great ring work but this guy is just 3 matches in his career and he looks like he has been doing this for years.  

 

I did not expect this match to be that good, it was the match of the night by far and Logan was not obviously carried here like many must've expected. 

 

worst match of the PLV was the damage ctrl match. That was sloppy and boring. What is interesting about this feud though is that it looks like they are slowly building Asuka vs Shirai, hopefully at Mania.

[HD-Man]

Remember when Braun had that pointless fued with Shane on the basis that he thought Braun was stupid.....yea 😂😂

[Lantis]

Two guys fighting in Kaiju rubber suits looks better and more fluid than Omos vs. Braun

[Hawkingbird]

Omos vs Braun wasn't a bad match. Omos talking shit as he beating Braun's ass made the match for me. Cooking niggas while beating them should be Omos thing.

[HD-Man]

Yeah, more or shit talking, ass beating Omos. That's his niche right there. He'll never be that graceful in the ring like Undertaker, but if he sticks to his strengths and just sports entertains, he'll be just fine. He's gotten way better and it's noticeable 

[Hawkingbird]

Ali is a menace

 

 

[Lantis]

So Austin Theory cashes in his MITB briefcase....

 

 

 

....for the US title.....

 

 

 

....and ends up losing

 

 

LOL Theory really got screwed when Vince stepped down. I dunno if he rubs HHH the wrong way, but goddamn....

[Hawkingbird]

Get that Hollywood bag.

Where is Thunder Rosa? She still injured or just not being used? Toni Storm been interim champ like 3 months, most companies make ppl drop the title if they're gone that long

Rosa is still injured.

[Hawkingbird]

This man is too good

 

 

[HD-Man]

Matt Cordana was RIGHT there but they gave the NWA Championship to Tyrus fat, bad built uncoordinated ass. Ain't nobody finna pay to see the Funkasaurus main event a wrestling show 

[iStu X]

 

[HD-Man]

Punk clearly having fun and doesn't give much of a fuck, or atleast pretends well 😂

 

[HD-Man]

LA Knight and Bray is the fued I never knew I needed. As expected from two masters of the mic 

[Reticently]

 

 

 

[HD-Man]

Tony Khan yet again saying Punk had nothing to do with Colt's situation (which he also admitted prior at the previous scrum when he should've set things straight when Nick said it). Which ppl conveniently ignored 

 

You pretty much got your confirmation that rumor came from someone in the Elite's camp, most likely Nick and it spiraled from there

He's a throw back. It's a large part of his appeal.

[HD-Man]

Yep, old school mentality, MJF never breaks character. Hopefully Khan books him properly, this run here will change the course of AEW.

 

If Khan messes this up, MJF goin to WWE for sure but he'll definitely stay if he's presented and most importantly paid properly. Do everything to keep MJF happy, he's THE guy lol

I think we gettin worked now, seems like they realized money is to be made with Brawl Out. Kenny biting Pac and hitting a GTS mid match  😂

[Lantis]

They were in Chitown and getting heat so I guess they were just playing to the crowd

MJF always used Punk's lines and did the snow angel taunt after he won the belt. Khan has said nothing but good things about Punk as of recently too

 

I can't confirm anything but I feel something is in the works. I could be wrong tho
