Sounds like Cody might be on this Saudi show tomorrow. I haven’t watched wwe much at all in the last year and a half, I wonder what they have planned for Mania for him.

[Anders]

Read that it’s going to be an interesting show, with several twists and turns. We shall see.

They said the same thing about survivor series and it was god awful, we’ll see.

My biggest complaint with AEW would be that Eddie Kingston has been fucking KILLING IT since he got to AEW and more should be done with him. I wasn’t happy that he got both that Bryan match and his Punk match SUPER hot and then they just cooled him off after. The Punk match was a match of the year candidate for me. Everything they have asked this guy to do he has knocked completely out of the park. Even this week his reactions were as big as anyone other than Punk. I’m hoping he is given the opportunity to be a top guy in 2022.

PLUS he was the guy who had to suffer the humiliation of the bomb not going off at Revolution, which was completely out of his control, and he handled it better than anyone could expect. They owe him.

I just don’t think AEW is comfortable pushing a homosexual wrestler to that level.

[Anders]

Kingston is straight.

He has done very well for himself. Agree that AEW could have utilized him better.

Eddie and MJF will be joining Cody soon.

[Anders]

Do think MJF will eventually go to the WWE. Seems to be his dream.

Kingston? Probably not.

I don't know what to think anymore about anything after Cody.

[Anders]

Life will never be the same again.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

Life will never be the same again.

Hold me.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

It actually does make me want to tune in to WWE.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

Watching Rampage and here comes my first real exposure to Jay White.

I still want Kota Ibushi.

Cody should pull a Hogan and get everyone he put over in AEW signed to wwe so he can get his wins back brother.

[Anders]

Going to watch Elimination Chamber live now.

[Anders]

Spoliers not in spoiler tags ahead.

First match was Roman Reigns vs Goldberg. Not really interesting, but Goldberg did get two spears in on Reigns.

Second match was the women’s chamber. Decided to forward a bit to be fully live. Bianca Belair won in the end. What I saw was ok, Belair a worthy winner.

Now it’s Flaur and Deville (with an injured arm) vs Rousey (with only one arm) and Naomi. Has been some build for this, but it’s a bit too gimmicky.

[Anders]

Throwaway match really. Rousey seemed to be over in Saudi Arabia. She won the match for her team with a submission on Deville.

North American and European crowds are usually a lot better than this.

[Anders]

Decent match between Drew McIntyre and Madcap Moss. Falls Count Anywhere, and lots of interference from Happy Corbin. Enjoyed it. McIntyre won.

I see that Rey Mysterio has beaten The Miz earlier in the evening as well.1

[Anders]

Becky Lynch vs Lita with the best match of the night so far. Predictable winner, but it had to be.

[Anders]

Very weird and poor tag team match with the Usos that ended in a no contest.

The Undertaker in the hall of fame this year. That will be big. Friday will be HOF and Smackdown. Saturday and Sunday will be two nights of Wrestlemania.
