RFK is a deeply shitty and profoundly damaged human being, but at least as of now this is NOT an attack on organ and tissue donation at large. Actually go look up "Network for Hope," and check out some of the sketchy shit they've been accused of, including premature organ recovery attempts.
RFK Jr: "I'm announcing that HHS has begun the decertification of Network for Hope, the organ procurement organization."
If my math is right, technically the New Day's non-compete is up. Do you get them on TV ASAP, or do you hold off and do it someplace like All In? Tricky spot because you're already doing "tag team dream match" for All In and not only did you just have MCMG debut, but now Kofi & Xavier?

Abdul El-Sayed just won a statewide election despite the very real possibility that he loses Oakland, Wayne, and Macomb Counties (read: Detroit and most of the major suburbs). Of course he did better in some cities than others, but still, absolutely bonkers result. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

My hot take is to do away with the Continental Title altogether, and just make the C2 for a World Title shot at Revolution--but with the G1 caveat that you have to defend the title shot against anyone who beat you during group stage.
two... two tournaments for the Continental belt... every year... why
So, in essence with yesterday's activity: Cubs get: RHP Kevin Gausman and a Player to be Named Later (or Cash Considerations) Blue Jays get: RHP Jameson Taillon, OF Brett Bateman, INF Ty Southisene, Cash Considerations Fair to consider this basically Gausman for Taillon, with a little extra stuff?
The writers for The Athletic, unlike the doofus Jim Bowden, know the Cubs got the better end of the Kevin Gausman trade. www.nytimes.com/athletic/748...
I'm not sure I care enough to look at this, but I'd be intrigued to see someone's analysis. Tanahashi was in the semi-main at Wrestle Kingdom 11 in 2017 when he was about the same age (40 years, 1 month, 22 days) Rollins is now (40 years, 2 months, 5 days). Probably a safe bet Tana looked better?
How is Rollins being beyond washed physically not the big narrative coming out of this match? He's moving like Hiroshi Tanahashi without the restraint of picking his spots. (Reigns isn't exactly moving well, either, and his offense also looks like shit.)
Oh my God, Moriarty vs. Angelico is for me and I love it so much. #WatchROH
Excalibur and Sam Reich calling the action. Give it to me now.
To make it clear, not Game Changer Wrestling, but THIS Game Changer. #WrestleSky 🤼♂️
That counter into the Dragon Tamer was CLEAN. Garcia has kind of turned into the designated pin eater of the Death Riders, which sucks, but it makes it easy to forget that he is a REALLY GOOD pro wrestler. #AEWCollision
Not Chris Jericho immediately running to the nearest patent office...
Darchistico
I never thought about how far Mox and Nigel go back. I'm pretty sure they were in Les Thatcher's HWA around the same time in the early-mid 2000's. #AEWCollision
Mistico, Jericho, and Darby? That's...that's certainly three guys. #AEWCollision
Since Nigel sort of brought it up: Lethal's credentials in ROH: Pure Champion - 63 days TV Champion (2x) - 798 days (231 and 567 days) Tag Team Champion (w/ Jonathan Gresham) - 441 days World Champion (2x) - 707 days (427 and 280 days) Survival of the Fittest winner (2012) #AEWCollision
Speedball is not barefoot, thus cutting their overall power by a solid 65-70 percent. It's science. #AEWCollision
I'm entertained by the ongoing discussion of gun iconography between the Bang Bang Gang and the Motor City Machine Guns. #AEWCollision
By the way, in all of his time in Japan in Dragon Gate and wherever else, I don't think we ever got Pac vs. Taiji Ishimori. Random thought, I know, but it feels like that would be a fun combination. #AEWCollision
Rhyno and ICP dumping buckets of ice on Kyle O'Reilly, Orange Cassidy, and Roderick Strong in a nationally televised segment is an idea that I'm pretty sure I could never have thought of even on some pretty impressive mind altering drugs. Pro wrestling is the best. #AEWCollision
Mike Posey ain't gonna control shit. I've seen both Athena and Billie back him into the corner on multiple occasions. #AEWCollision
Jesus, Detroit is still MOLTEN hot. You love to see it. #AEWCollision
"Which one's the ugly one" was so stupid but it popped me anyway. I approve of all of this. #AEWCollision
I need to know when we get Moriarty vs. Shelley for the Pure Title. Is that a thing we can make happen?
YES
Partial MCMG ROH watchguide: vs. Briscoes, "Good Times Great Memories" and "Return Engagement" (2007/2008) vs. Jimmy Jacobs/Tyler Black, "Tag Wars 2008" (Apr 2008) vs. Austin Aries/Bryan Danielson, "Fueling the Fire" (Aug 2008) vs. Kings of Wrestling, "Supercard of Honor" (May 2010) #AEWCollision
I don't know, it still feels a bit to me like they're trying to play tweener with Kenny so as not to divide the crowd at Wembley. But Kenny is the only one making much sense in this. Ospreay comes off like a naive idiot, and it's not a particularly good look. #AEWDynamite
A 35 minute overrun is pretty bonkers. #AEWDynamite
Hangman Page absent from the title scene, but acting as AEW's conscience, righting wrongs and saving people independent of feuds or titles or whatever...maybe it's just me being an apologist, but I kind of like it. #AEWDynamite
Honestly, good. Long past time to belt up GOA with *something.* I endorse this. #AEWDynamite
I actually did not realize until I saw the talk on here that #AEWCollision was moving to Thursday this week. I guess that also explains why ROH's special episode is happening on Friday on Honor Club. I am very smart and clearly pay attention to what's happening. #AEWDynamite
