I didn't even catch what she said when I saw the show live, but seeing this now makes it so much sweeter.
Amazing what not being a scum lord can do for signing talentSo I'm watching the post media scrum and CM Punk and Tony Khan are being interviewed and a dude asks Tony how he feels about the fact that he's just changed the industry. And Tony in his humble self is like "no no, it was everyone who works at AEW and most importantly the fans and all of you guys" and he's denying it until the guy says that you're the one who signed CM Punk!
At which point Punk interjects with "Actually he's right, I don't think I would've come back if anyone else had asked me to"
and Tony. Like he kept it together but you could TELL that those words hit his very soul and he is on Cloud 9 right now
Thanks. Is there someonewhere I can read more about how the powerbomb cast will be setup? Like is it weekly, rss feed, etc?If you haven't had GB Premium before, I think they still do a 1 week free trial, otherwise it's $5 a month
The Omerta days are over friend...

Gah, and now the gif of this moment is making me tear up again.

I *think* it used to be monthly? You can set up an RSS feed in a podcast app with your GB credentials and it pulls through
Hang about... the Powerbomb cast is coming back?? This will 100% get my GB sub back.
who knew being a money mark would turn out to be a good thing.So I'm watching the post media scrum and CM Punk and Tony Khan are being interviewed and a dude asks Tony how he feels about the fact that he's just changed the industry.

I'm not gonna lie I never understood what that meant lol
Gah, and now the gif of this moment is making me tear up again.
Yup. It's one thing when Punk comes in, you know the history there with Vince. Bryan and Vince were really close, and the fact that WWE even offered for Bryan to work for other promotions speaks volumes about how much Vince wanted him to stay.....and he still chose to leave.This is even more damning than the guys that left disgruntled.

Not sure with Premium content with Giant Bomb, I think you just have to download its episode through their website when they put it up. This is a return of a show they haven't done in a long time, its technically haven't started yet.
Alright thanks. Looking forward to it, hopefully it's at least bi weekly and more focused on AEW than WWE.I don't think they've mentioned whether it's going to be a one off return or a (semi) regular thing again, but I wouldn't expect it to be anything more frequent than monthly
Yea not a good look at all.This is even more damning than the guys that left disgruntled.
Good point.This is even more damning than the guys that left disgruntled.
And here is a good primer on Suzuki's character work (link is timestamped, but it starts at 16:00):So there are probably a bunch of new viewers who aren't aware of Minoru Suzuki. This vid I thought was a fun primer of hiw he built a name for himself
A Filthy Casual's Guide to Minoru Suzuki and the Catch Wrestling Connection
I don't own any of this footage or music, and this video isn't monetized. Be coolyoutu.be
This is wild. Do the Khan family really have this much damn money? I know they are billionaires, but damn, TK must have an unlimited treasure trove to keep signing guy after guy.

Funding and developing their own video game could be Tony Khan's biggest blunder in AEW tbh lol. I hope they know what they're doing there.Khan is on record as AEW being in the black other than the money spent on the upcoming video game.
Plus the signees themselves have no restrictions to take in additional sources of income whether it be working other promotions or pursuing other interests IE TwitchThey have a ton of money but this is also a matter of guys like Punk, Bryan and possibly even Cole turning down big money/contracts from WWE to go somewhere they feel is going to get their creative juices going again. This isn't like the 90s where Vince was losing all of his big stars because he couldn't afford to compete with Ted Turner's checkbook. He's losing guys because his product is garbage.
This is even more damning than the guys that left disgruntled.
Punk even commented during the media scrum something along the lines of you have guys like Danielson who say they aren't disgruntled or upset with WWE and yet here he is.Yup. It's one thing when Punk comes in, you know the history there with Vince. Bryan and Vince were really close, and the fact that WWE even offered for Bryan to work for other promotions speaks volumes about how much Vince wanted him to stay.....and he still chose to leave.
I'd be surprised if they even did it that much? Frankly I don't know that I would even need it that much. Give it to me once or twice a month (maybe more in AEW PPV months cause let's be real, AEW is the only reason they've revived the show). Obviously, Jeff, Jan and Jason will be on it. Do you think they get Alex for at least this return episode?Alright thanks. Looking forward to it, hopefully it's at least bi weekly and more focused on AEW than WWE.
Yea not a good look at all.
Hey , you wrote out your thoughts so it's fine.Of course I now look at the actual reaction to this event and I feel like a soft troll with my "it was decent" vs everyone else's tenouttaten hype
They have a Dev that knows how to make wrestling games (who were forced under yearly release deadlines so couldn't do it justice), they have Omega who is a massive gamer overseeing the develop and they have the main guy behind the most well regarded wrestling game of all time helping with direction to capture it's feel.Funding and developing their own video game could be Tony Khan's biggest blunder in AEW tbh lol. I hope they know what they're doing there.
The "You're gonna get your fucking head kicked in" absolutely makes this.
I mean, if they do plan for the PowerBombcast to be a regular thing then they probably could hire him on as a contractor similar to a lot of the people on the other shows they've been doing lately.

I'm sure the game itself will be good and if they were to sell 1 million copies (which is easier achievable I think considering WWE games still sell a few million each year), that's $60m in revenue on its own.

Plus the potential for DLC is pretty big but more importantly, the investment in this game will help set up for new entries in a year or two that will pay off even more with hopefully bigger sales.They can also charge $100 for a physical limited edition version with the WCW/NWO Revenge boxart recreated.
There are a number of WrestleERA folks that Punk was speaking directly to with his "shut the fuck up" talk from Dark.
Trust me there's no shortage of bad takes.have you read the various AEW threads? They can be cringe af.
in the end, we are all mark ass marks.
