MJF is back, but he's only one man. Luckily for AEW, he is THE BEST they have, but he needs some dance partners. It's up to Tony to make that happen. Also, the Forbidden Doors is No Longer Forbidden.

The internet went into a frenzy this past weekend over one of AEW's latest signing, Kazuchika Okada. Raj Giri brought up the idea that Jade Cargill might just be a bigger star than him in the USA. Is that true? What do you think? Also, Tony Khan leaked footage of AEW ALL IN's fiasco. Did we agree with it should it never seen the light of day? Let us know!

AEW's biggest moment since CM Punk's return to wrestling is upon us. Word on the internet is that AEW is in a slump, well THIS is the moment that they can choose to "pivot" into a better product. They have a legitimate SUPERSTAR coming to their roster in Mercedes Mone (Sasha Banks) Will they stick the landing? ... well ... they have to. Also, Dave Meltzer is at it again. He's now comparing The Rock to Taylor Swift. Huh? Why? Anyway, follow us everywhere because why not Follow @nickythegood Follow @bigtroublebb Follow @meatpopexpress
Pro Wrestling is on ABSOLUTE FIRE right now, absolutely crushing the storyline game and developing new stars left and right, while showcasing their top players CM Punk got hurt, so what does this mean for the WWE Championship? Maybe it's a good thing for Punk? Netflix gives WWE a bazillion dollars, Vince McMahon and more ... Lastly, we talk AEW's "random match" problem and what we'd like to see on a weekly basis. Follow us everywhere! @nickythegood @bigtroublebb @meatpopexpress
Cancel Culture took over the wrestling world this past week.
