The obvious solution.

 

I still think they should've fixed the size issue when Nyla was champ. She could've just tore the title in half. Bam. There's your fix. You have no choice but to create a new one.

 

Watching the new BTE, bro that Bucks/Best Friends match last weds was so god damn good. Random unadvertised TV tag match and it was better than anything WWE has done tag team wise in 3 years (Idk if thats true but I feel confident in saying it)

 

Question though geeks, when did Brandon Cutler come into the picture for BTE? Or did he just always film but become a character halfway through?

 

Geek here. I don’t think it was until a few months before AEW started? He retired for a number of years and I don’t remember him around at all during the big Hot Topic era, Bullet Club.

 

Ohhhh . Okay doing some research, he was trained by the Bucks years ago (so they have been friends for a while) and I can't find exactly when but he helped direct/write for a lot of BTE episodes, it sounds like he did it behind the scenes before becoming a character on camera. Not sure if it's from the start though.

 

Oh interesting. I knew he and his brother grew up with them but don’t know if he wrote before he came back to wrestling.

The first time I remember hearing of him was that odd single season Amazon Tourny, Dojo Pro. His background was essentially, “Friend of the Young Bucks”.

*Edit…wow looking at that roster I don’t remember some of these names being in it at all. Ricky Starks, Shane Strickland, Wheeler Yuta…

 

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

Oh, thats a little true too. The Mens belt is definitely hilariously huge for basically any of their pillars.

 

I genuinely like all of the belts, but yeah the sizing is odd I do agree. I think the current womens belt is the closest to perfect size.

 

For the first time since August 20th, Punk is no longer the top selling shirt.

Hook has dethroned him.

 

:(

 

Lame for fans, but awesome for his wallet

Can’t be upset

 

Genuinely surprised.

Of course, now, if I'm him, I'd wonder if that contract means that there's a bullseye on his back.

 

“Talent within AEW we spoke to didn't think AEW would realistically match what WWE would offer him to stay with the company. Unanimously, AEW talent we spoke to believe there would have been interest, though company officials obviously can't comment on such without tampering issues. “

 

Now give him the fucking title

 

Disappointing that we're gonna miss out on a lot of good matchups and that WWE doesn't even give us much of a reason to want to watch Owens at this point.

 

The man is literally the only reason I will watch any WWE

 

Good for him tbh. He has to think of his family first and foremost.

 

Someone kind of spoiled that news with some proof a few weeks ago to some mods on r/SC

He’s now the most paid person on the active roster besides Roman (allegedly). He wasn’t leaving that money

 

that's awesome for him.
