    The guy did everything Vince asked, helped him build the company since the 80's, humiliated himself numerous times on tv for him too. Him and Chioda were the two releases that annoyed me the most.

    One of Vince's righthand men for the last 40 years they would be fcuking foolish not to hire him and pick his brain.

    But surely he’s past it. If he had any influence in WWE over the past 5 years why wasn’t there any saving grace in their booking/programming.

    It's easy just to think of him as a one of the Stooges from TV. He has always been more than that. Was a decent insurance policy for physical back-up back in the day too by all accounts! Basically, people can and do wear many hats in the wrestling business.

    He doesn't have to be a booker etc,

    The young talent there to soak up his 50/60 years of wrestling knowledge is something that would be worth it to AEW as a wrestling company not a sports entertainment company.

    He's not a booker. He's a talent scout. WWE have an amazing array of athletes on their roster, among their best ever. Unfortunately they're calling the talent things like Shorty G and Slapjack and T-Bar and doing stupid crap with them...

    But he's 74 now. Most of his main achievements behind the scenes were 10-15 years ago at this stage. What would he offer AEW now? They already have J.R to have gotten info on Vince's practices and ideas.

    What does a washed up 65 year old Jake Roberts have to offer AEW he had his last decent match in 1989.

    Maybe he still has a great brain for the business in other ways that we wouldn't be privy to. How would any of us know? This is all just from a tweet Gerry posted by the way. So until then.

    Brisco still shows up every year to all the major amateur wrestling events, and by all accounts has one of the greatest eyes for raw talent in the history of wrestling, paying him half of what you pay joey janela to keep an eye out for you instead of the other company could be the bargain of the century.

    They need to sign Ben Carter up right now. Unreal performances on both Dark and the Dynamite special.

    That was a rather enjoyable episode of Late Night Dynamite, Spears/Sydal was solid enough and Carter/Sky was a cracker.

    So what is it, like a jazzed up version of Dark, i.e., mostly pretaped matches? Any promos or progression of the Dynamite angles?

    (I.e., do you need to watch it)

    Easy, fun show. Flew by. I think without adverts it clocked just over 44 minutes.

    Hardly needs saying but Ben Carter looks a gem, sign him up quickly.

    I liked Spears/Sydal too. Downside is I'll have that Spears theme song stuck in my head for the rest of the day.

    Ah that makes sense, since he "didn't lose the Battle Royal"

    Also, Eddie on the mic with a specific target to pop off should make for a decent build.

    Gutted the 6 man tag is off as I was really excited to see how Lance and Jake would co exist with Cage,Starks and Taz!Damn it anyway!

    Really hope The Murderhawk wins the AEW World title off Moxley on October 14th!

    Decent show. Main event looked stiff af. Moxley really is putting in that work as the champ.

    Loved the heelishness of FTR to tease the match until the last second then bounce. Very well done. (Less said about Chuck T's 'weenie' comments the better - wtf?).

    Main negatives continue to be Omega and Brodie. Both different shades of awful on the mic. Omega talks like the kind of guy who gets fooled by a sock puppet on a kids TV show. Brodie just screams incoherently.

    How good is Eddie Kingston on the mic? Loved the promos from him and Mr. Brodie Lee, quality stuff. As the main event was, just a good hard-hitting wrestling match. Great return for Cody too.

    Roll on October 7th for the 30th anniversary celebration of the career of the Million viewer man!
