Yeah Tony needs to stay in the background. Would say hire a booker but really who's available?
The draft was pretty pointless on SD. Only 3 actually switched shows and they might as well have not bothered having Bron doing the whole who will be sign for just last month. Also think moving the Bloodline to Raw might have been a good move. Especially when they bring Rock back and he starts cutting 30+ minute You think Ya tough promos.
With the sleezy talent. Starting to think Sammy is just being allowed to run out his contract now that Mone has joined. Don't think he's injured? And he was reportedly suspended four just a month a few weeks before she debuted.
Also, please don't fuck up Style vs Cody and book them in a really dull match like they did with Nakamura and Styles.

I’ve always hated the draft, absolutely tedious television and spreading it across multiple shows is such a drag. Surely no one enjoys this.
Although he’s not wrong that Vince is a creep and WWE is a huge evil corporation, all TK is really doing by repeatedly talking about WWE is reminding people that there are a load of household names wrestling on the other side. For such a lifelong fan you’d think he’d have watched or listened to at least one of the countless Monday Night War docs and podcasts that all point to Schiavone talking about Foley’s title win as a turning point in the Fed’s favour.

Definitely doesn't need to be over 2 shows.
Preferred it when it was done like a video game character select screen and showed the wrestler switching shows. No need to have 2 former talent slowly reading out the names.

Who does Swerve actually feud with now?
It feels like Ricky Starks is the biggest name not occupied or injured, other than Hangman but that would feel too soon to revisit that rivalry.

This is similar situation that Hangman was in when he had his title run. Who’s the next big feud? You’ve got to elevate Swerve. And it doesn’t help having an open challenge.. despite Claudio vs Swerve being a great match.

Having Rock announce Drew signing a new contract makes him feel like a big star that they have big plans for.

I think they had a match but waaaay too late, Keith Lee's health issues prevented them from having a proper feud.
If he's fit to go he would be a good for a short feud.
Edit: Christian Cage! He'd be gold in a title feud with Swerve.

What about edge? Needs to start putting over some young talent in AEW.
Sucks about Lee. He was great until covid and since then he seems to have a poor attitude in regards to his weight.

Edge is feuding with Malakai at the moment, although it looks like Swerve is facing Claudio next.
BCC is feuding with Don Callis family, so maybe they're looking to get Swerve involved with all that.

I'm guessing Jacob Fatu will show up at backlash.
Guys going to have fans thinking he's legit trying to kill KO and Randy.

It's amazing how her promo work has been exposed since leaving WWE. Not like she was even good in WWE but they made her seem average at best on the mic or did a lot of pre recorded stuff with her. But I doubt many AEW fans would be surprised by this after her Japan stuff. She just comes off as very fake.
Unless she's still not actually cleared they would be better off giving her a match.

Geez, I've always been worried Darby wasn't going to live that long, but I wasn't factoring in buses as well!
At least we know he's a tuff one.

At least Drew made fun of the draft, because some of the picks have been bizarre. You're picking the LWO in front of Drew and Punk? What the hell.

It drags the shows down.
Just announce any moves on WWE.com and twitter/Insta.
Only bit I like is them not telling any of the NXT talent before they get announced.

Looking forward to the Christian/Swerve feud. Also the Bucks taking over is looking pretty interesting too. Although Jack Perry can go away still.

Joe Hendry has been lowkey killing it on TNA this last year or so.
And the music video gimmick refuses to grow old. The Matt Cardona one is a legit jam.

Add the French to the list of better fans than the US. Not sold out though. Maybe the prices are a bit extreme. Sadly Clash has nearly sold out so no chance of lowering the prices. A WM here will require a mortgage.

At 39 it feels like he's running out of time to get things sorted as he seems to have one set back after another. Pre covid Lee was something.

They should just bring back 'Heat' for these pre shows. Was a good way to give some extra story to some of the matches on the card plus some talent would get a match before the PPV started. Much better than having 3 people in a studio talking like it's a UFC/Boxing event. Post scrums should also be more loose and not everyone staying in character. Let's be honest the only decent ones have been Cody/Jey drunk at Fastlane and Punks media scrum. Or just get rid of them completely. Anyways, I'm guessing we will see Jacob Fatu Tonight. Gable Steveson has apparently been released. Not sure why it took so long with all the negative stuff going on with him since before he even signed

This crowd is insane. Very similar to the old NXT shows.
Great opening match. Definitely someone else under that ring.
