Dave tried to claim Ivar was not injured and it was a work, which Fightful and Ivar himself shot down.

Apparently he is seriously injured and is going to miss a bunch of time.

I'm sorry but these pictures of the camera section are so f***ing stupid. It's a mix of clickbait and lazy people trying to cause trouble. Yes AEW attendance isn't great and is trending downward however there could be 6000 or more people in some of the buildings they are currently booking and that section would look the same. The photo is meaningless.

Facts don't lie.

"The May 15th episode of AEW Dynamite emanated from the Winds Arena in Everett, Washington. The venue has maximum capacity of 10,000 but was scaled for 4,076, out of which they managed to sell 3,459 according to WrestleTix."

Cassie Lee/Peyton Royce is now open for a Royal Rumble appearance, should they contact her next year.

I don’t think they do that anymore. You’re either in or you’re out.

She said they asked the Iiconics one year to appear in the Rumble but they weren't ready to return yet. "It was too soon."

I’m sure they ask around, but in the time Paul Levesque has had Vince out of the way, which is the past two rumbles, men and women, only one spot has gone to someone who was unsigned to do a one-off.

I believe this request was made while still in the Vince era but it seems Jessie McKay may have retired from wrestling (?) so Peyton Royce would be the one asked to appear.

Should start at the right mark:

There's no way they're not intentionally f***ing with Dave at this point lol.

This "Love Has No Labels campaign WWE has going on, definitely wouldn't have happened under Vince.

I mean, Balor was wearing Pride shirts "For everyone" years ago... Kinda started when Stephanie made that comment about "Philanthropy is the future of marketing." Boy was she ever right.

I meant that Vince wouldn't would't be the one pushing this, it would be others in the company. Other than her appearance on the Pride parade in Total Divas, I don't recall them bringing up Sonya De Ville's "queerness" much. Maybe it was just an impression that they didn't want to highlight it as much as she was maybe doing it on social media. Not sure if they even mentioned on air that she got married recently.

And I too think they might just be f***ing with Meltzer. :laugh:

They are definitely f***ing with Dave now.

Sonya and Mandy wanted to do it, and I think they had been asked before in media and said it, and they went to Vince with it. What happened is what you heard often with Vince, which is that he wrote it for someone else, which was Liv and Lana (and then immediately got dropped), to which Sonya and Mandy were not so subtle that they didn’t like that.

What probably happened was that none of their cast of thousands of writers thought they’d be able to pull it off without it appearing exploitative (and the angle they did do seemed to look exactly like that), and I guess the input of the performer who is actually an out lesbian and living with her real-life best friend tag team partner that everyone on earth knew about wasn’t important. Vince probably also sat in that room and decided that no one would ever buy that Mandy’s character could ever be in love with another woman.

Konnan and Tony got in a beef
Click to expand...

It's almost as if Konnan and AAA decided to double-cross AEW by having a guy they knew was headed to WWE beat an AEW headline act and then announce he was headed to WWE right afterwards and Tony acted accordingly or something.

Konnan is so full of shit that if you gave him an enema he'd fit in a shoebox.

Giulia broke her wrist in her match at yesterday’s Marigold show. She’s off Thursday’s Hana Kimura memorial show, which was another thing she really wanted to do before leaving. I guess we’ll see if she makes the July 13 Marigold show. I know there’s people who believe she will be at NXT Heatwave.

Turns out Giulia was doing like the safest thing imaginable. Either that or Sareee’s face is a weapon

Dave is saying that Marigold is again trying to get Io and Kairi for a show at Sumo Hall on July 23. WWE is already going to be in Japan on July 25.
