I get that there may be legal ramifications still hanging out there that need to be worked out, but I'm still kind of blown away that Tony came out and announced multiple major titles that were held by 4 of the biggest stars he has were simply vacated without literally any explanation as to why they were vacated. Not even a kayfabe reason.
Goes back to like you said yesterday.
Booked for smarks. Why say anything when you know they know?

Say you're a fan who does not consume wrestling news online and you tune in to Dynamite last night and watch a visibly uncomfortable Tony Khan announcing that CM Punk, Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks have all been stripped of their titles without naming any of those guys or providing literally any explanation.
What are you going to do next?
Are you going to seek out that explanation online and then become more intrigued? Or are you just going to change the channel to something else and not bother?
Oh, I’m not disagreeing it was poorly handled.
But that’s why. If 80% are smarks, why say a thing? What benefit does it serve?
Sounds like, considering everyone was even removed from the intro, they’d rather sweep it under the rug entirely.

In other news, Dynamite pulled their highest tv rating in over a year this week. Pretty crazy considering no Punk or elite…makes me wonder if numbers like these make it easier to shove Punk out the door. Looks like the hard reset and current direction is working with the audience.

MJF is a star
Saying you’re tougher to beat than alcoholism is an incredible line
I’m also a sucker for calling the crowd uneducated white trash

Similar situation here. I watched NXT on Wednesdays until Adam Cole’s run ended.
Best I’ve seen.

Really had a ppv feel. Every match was excellent…women’s match was probably the sloppiest but the Paige debut (and that pop!!!!!) more than made up for it. AEW felt like a really big deal last night.
Wish I could catch Rampage live this week, but excited to catch up on dvr over the weekend.
I didn’t watch, but Britt is sort of Cleveland royalty. Was it sloppy on her?
