    Sorry if it's mentioned previously but where are people watching the likes of AEW and TNA?

    I finally fixed the awful buffering during AEW on my Apple TV using Triller app

    I found it was caused by the video settings. I changed Match Content to

    Match Dynamic Range On

    Match Frame Rate On

    Quick Media Switching On

    It's transformed my experience

    Thanks I'll check it out

    Depends whether they decide to try and compete or if they don't make much effort as they know they won't have as many viewers as usual.

    Brian Cage’s wife has joined AEW as an announcer/backstage interviewer she did the same job at Lucha Underground. She also had a run in TNA.

    Props to Tony, being Irish the only familiarity I had with him was what WWE would tell us, and they weren't exactly kind. The guy is more than good at his job, he's great, and I'm glad he got this run to clear the narrative.

    I've no idea what Khan is at hiring both Atout and Santos, it seems unnecessary to hire both (in addition to another person I think?), especially after letting Dasha go. I would hope it's not just a case of pleasing their partners.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,093 ✭✭✭SteM


    His 'That'll put some butts in the seats.' comment spoiling the taped Mankind title win soured a lot of people on him at the time.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 396 ✭✭Petermc83


    I know he uses abit of Just4Men products but Tony has aged really well since we first seen him in WCW!!! Hes def earned his stripes, he can be proud of his career

    Heard another rumour that Keith Lee and Malakai Black's contracts are set to expire. Although I imagine Black's will have time added for injury.



  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 15,610 Mod ✭✭✭✭Furious-Red


    Would lee be the same?, although I know he wasn't injured but out with an illness.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,323 ✭✭✭ThePott


    I'm not sure. In theory, I think they could add time to Lee's contract but not sure they would under the circumstances and the sad reality is they probably don't see much use in him anymore. The talk was that he was having health issues (possibly heart after getting covid).

    There's also another report say Malakai is locked up until at least 2025, when his deal was first reported on it was 2025 with a two year option.

    Kamille as Mercedes heater is is a great way to introduce her.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,272 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Just thinking Britt needs her former heater back now

    Time for Hayter to return must be close.

    It's a handy way to bring Hayter back to make the save at Wembley for the home crowd pop.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 436 ✭✭Patrick Mahomes


    Wasn’t a fan of the chair shot even with a gimmicked chair.

    Kamille looked great and yeah I think leads to Jamie Hatyer returning.

    MAGA MJF is also an interesting choice.

    Lol Okada is not about these hardcore matches, he always seems awkward in them, the man is happy to coast. Speaking of awkward the ending to Blood and Guts was especially awkward here, felt a bit rushed and anti-climactic. It did build Swerve/Hangman well (whenever we see that) and Darby/Jack Perry but don't know if it did much for the Acclaimed/Young Bucks. That's a real heatless feud for me.

    I did like some of the spots, Swerve with the staple gun and Darby doing the monkey bars coffin drop. I feel like they definitely need to give this match a rest though, it's becoming a little samey for me. Not a fan of the headshot even if it is gimmicked personally.

    I swear, Tony keeps an eye on Reddit. Someone was only just saying what the hell are they doing with Kamille, they signed her months ago and low and behold. Always expected her in this role, bit of a sudden debut, thought it might have built off a story a bit more but all the same if it gets us to a Hayter save at Wembley I'm all for it.

    MJF changing the belt is fun especially for All In, definitely big Trump vibes, why they didn't have a camera in a spot when he tried recreating the post-assassination attempt photo I don't know.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,969 ✭✭✭Cherry_Cola


    Was laughing watching Okada in the match, at one point he had no clue what to do, could see Matt was kinda instructing him a bit and there was visible confusion and he just went into the other ring, took a random bump and dropped to the mat 😂.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,655 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    While it was a good debut for Kamille and they were talking about her size, it was ruined a bit by Mercedes standing beside her and nearly being the same height. She shouldn't have worn such high heels.

    It's a bit hard to take Toni seriously when she's doing her Timeless expressions. Looked more like Danhausen.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,323 ✭✭✭ThePott


    I thought the exact same thing about the height. They really should have considered that in trying to make Kamille look like a giant. Mercedes shouldn't have had massive heels on, hell you could have put shoes with more of a lift on Kamille too.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,272 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Tony just booked Mercedes vs Britt for All In at the AEW Comic Con panel tonight.



  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 15,610 Mod ✭✭✭✭Furious-Red


    Hayter is 100% returning at All In and by god that pop will be huge.

    Actually enjoyed the B&G match until the last few mins, clearly there was an issue locating the gas etc so felt off, agreed on the chairshot wasnt the best idea. Pity the Swerve/Cowboy thing happened during picture and picture as I never watch that or fast forward.

    I hope Danielson doesnt become an afterthought with the build to All In since I'm guessing we are getting a 3 way match for the title.

    MFJ is just on another level as a heel

    I feel there are definitely more storylines going into All In this year which is great

    Acclaimed vs YB vs FTR for All In???



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,655 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Thought that was a good way to get more use out of the double ring setup, though I expected it to end in a match between the final 2 rather than continuing the over the top rule.

    And was Rampage on the same time as Death Before Dishonour, meaning Tony was competing against himself?

    Absolutely delighted for Dustin.

    They absolutely crack me up

    Such a pity with that injury to Dalton



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,655 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Not familiar with her, but they had Erica Leigh with them at the RoH Zero Hour.

    MJF heads to London after Arena Mexico on August 2nd to defend the American Championship at Rev-Pro against Michael Oku on August 11th.

    Per Fightful, Tony Khan has met with Shane McMahon 😂



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,418 ✭✭✭Cotts72


    Christ that won't end well....



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,672 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    What can he bring as an on screen character other than promo battles with heels where they say 'oh your family are pricks etc'

    Wonder is he going to be a booker too ?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,655 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    That would definitely be a case of doing it because he can and not because he should. No long term plans. Maybe a faction of ex WWE guys. Name them something like Voodoo Kin Mafia.

    Tbh, I think he'd fit in well with the current iteration of the Elite. It shouldn't be a long term thing, but the irony/hypocrisy of the Bucks being financially backed by a McMahon could lead to some fun stories.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55,125 ✭✭✭✭Headshot


    I didnt think of that, that would be an interesting move

    Im back in!!!!

    Fightful reporting that AEW & WBD exclusive negotiation period has ended.

    Tony is now free to see what other offers are there.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,272 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Trent Beretta had neck surgery.

    Two screws from his previous neck fusion surgery had broken and had to be replaced. Ouch.

    I like Will O but my can he mess up and suck on the mic

    The heat he will bring to Arena Mexico with this MAGA MJF will be a sight to be seen.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,655 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Meant to say for BotB at the weekend but then they had one on Dynamite this week. I do not like the Title Eliminator matches. especially when there's no consistency. Like why does Statlander have to have one but MJF didn't? Would assume Stat would get a title match through the usual method of having attacked the champ multiple times.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 436 ✭✭Patrick Mahomes


    Shane McMahon would actually be an interesting executive to have in the AEW camp in talks with TV networks over the next while with his WWE experience and connections in that world.

    copy/pasting from Reddit.


    “Britt Baker was suspended for either one or two weeks and fined by the company’s disciplinary committee. 

    Details have been kept pretty quiet. It came from something backstage at the 7/17 Dynamite where Baker allegedly said something about MJF and Alicia Atout, MJF’s girlfriend heard it and told him and he confronted Baker. 

    This led to an investigation with HR talking to people on 7/24 and I believe the disciplinary committee that did the investigation recommended that. I don’t know if Tony Khan was or wasn’t involved in this and everyone was attempting to keep this under wraps. This all stems from problems in the past that weren’t addressed and a committee was put together to settle these things quickly. Most of those we heard from were sympathetic to her in this situation.”

    The full quote on the story for anyone who cares.

    Edit: Sean Ross Sapp saying he has “a lot more” on the MJF & Britt argument.

    Second Edit: The Fightful Report:

    • Britt Baker reportedly “exercised frustration” backstage in the women’s locker room about MJF which Alicia Atout overheard and told MJF. 
    • As per the report from Fightful, there was a confrontation between Britt Baker and Alicia Atout, additionally there was one between MJF and Baker. 
    • Will Ospreay reportedly became involved and spoke with Baker. 
    • Baker reportedly “took issue” with Atout telling MJF what she had said about him in the locker room. 
    • This prompted an investigation with a suspension being levied at Baker.
    • Baker is reportedly still planned to wrestle at AEW All In.

    I heard this story earlier in the week and looked past it over who reported it, even though I'm not a fan of Britt. But here we are and it's confirmed by Meltzer.

    I never liked her treatment of Rosa but I generally gave her the benefit of the doubt over 2 people just not liking each other, but as evident here the truth will out. She seems like an absolute weapon that can't half back it up.
