There are lots of similarities between Chris Jericho and Hulk Hogan.

If the reports are to be believed, Jericho turned that chaos into a new $9 million contract extension through 2025. Dude is the best at working a contract since Hulk Hogan.

Who has benefitted from working with Chris Jericho in AEW? I’m trying to think of a single example. Next it’s Ricky Starks’ turn.

Chris Jericho

I mean Hager has been getting paid for 4 years to do nothing thanks to Jericho, so he benefited for sure lol.

Bingo.

Lol yeah. It’s not a bad gig if you can get it.

Tony Khan tried to address talent being left of his shows and basically missed the whole point. He’s assured people he’s taking it with a smile and that in other sports you don’t see players blaming the coach. Lol, you’re the one who signed all these people and are dropping the ball with them. It’s a problem of AEW’s own design.

I sense a meltdown coming on. I predicted one for Booker of the Year if he doesn’t get it (and he shouldn’t, but it’s the Observer so you never know). But I can see this evasive “there are no problems” problem blowing up on him too.

TK is an idiot. I dont know how many actual Billionaires in America, or more accurately how many Billionaire's kids, but I have to imagine they would all be a better public representative of a company than this goofball.

Dax Harwood said CM Punk told him he didn't even want to win the title! CM Punk just wants to have fun!

Punk to WWE confirmed.

Is Jericho's penis physically bigger than Chris Irvine's?

Starks has come a long way

background dude while injured 3 minutes in or so

Lol that video... Schiavone so excited "THIS IS STING!!!"

Then JR is just like "there he is."

Seems like Shawn Spears is done with AEW. Impact Wrestling’s gain.

He seems salty about his experience there. Which is funny, because he’s one of the guys I associate “fed bad” with. The shoot interviews are going to be interesting.

You'd think Tony went for a Springboard move on Joe, there. He reacted the exact same way.

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

I don’t know if I can name a single billionaire who isn’t completely insane

I think even just ranking the wrestling billionaires:

1) Vince - psychopath
2) Trump - more powerful psychopath
3) TK - autistic psychopath
4) Ted Turner - the most normal I guess but definitely still a psychopath

Tony Khan is definitely a different kind of CEO but in light of some of the absolute horrible CEO's the world has seen in professional wrestling and all the other businesses in the world for the last 300 years, its refreshing.

He is definitely less seasoned but obviously very passionate. Fuck it, it's a nice change to see a CEO actually seem to care and live in the moment as opposed to just doing calculated stuff in order to "look" and "appear" good and appease the Boards or any other kind of oversights the company has.

Look at all those glorious pews.

Tony could have bought the rights to ‘86 World Championship Wrestling pew pew theme for a fraction of what he paid for the NBA on NBC theme.

:nono:

Call me when they have someone shooting lasers from their eyeballs

Shida takes out Storm cue Mercedes?

Arent we at the point yet that we can recognize fools gold? Do they really believe Mercedes Monè is going to lead to ANY improvement?

It is a legitimate improvement to their women's division, both in her name value and in her ability in the ring.

What lol? Sasha Banks is a botch machine

And yet, her catalogue of work in WWE is still superior to that of the majority of the women in AEW.

Thus, improvement.

Like I'm not saying there was a high bar or anything.

She's not Manami fucking Toyota over here.

She's going to be a game changer for sure

That all depends.

Is she signed to NJPW or AEW?

Because if she's signed to NJPW, and only making sparse appearances in AEW then improvement or not, its not really going to change the dynamic of the women's division.

Sasha Banks needed WWE way more than WWE needs her. I wonder how long it is until there’s a big personality blow-up?

Would be amazing if everyone was waiting for Sasha and then Nia Jax debuted
