Just a heads up: I will be discussing things freely but as always softening my language.

WWE & All Elite Wrestling: I haven't done this for a long time, because it is a mixture between I have different departments to put wrestling content in and time. But I have been feeling this way for some time now and don't worry I will continue producing wrestling content, that isn't in question here. But as I have said or indicated in other content I have like more or less switched off about this upcoming WrestleMania, if you think it is because we are not getting Rock vs. Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship it has something but little to do with it; it is so much more to do with how toxic this whole situation got and still remains to be in its entirety, I mean I have heard that there is friction between the locker room and Rock as it relates to he can do or say what he likes when he likes, whilst the rest of the locker room minus a few other names as well, so I am of the mindset that even you allow all your rosters the same kind of freedom and basic guidelines, like if they could stay away from the big adult words that would be useful or if not your big names should be setting an example for the rest of the locker rooms to follow. But as it relates to Rock I am also seen proof today of him continuing the be down of Rhodes on 25/03/2024 Raw after being informed they had gone off air, now on one hand obviously they could use this extra content next week or some other time or at minimum made reference to it, which is reasonable. But if they don't, it isn't the greatest look for Rock as for a little while now I have also heard from the film industry that Rock has cultivated a reputation of pushing his weight around and the more I see or hear of Rock doing this kind of things, the WWE are going to have a much bigger Rock problem, but then again I have also seen on a social media platform people praising him for being a pro wrestler, which if they don't use this extra content this action is not being a pro wrestler; it turns more into somebody stroking their ego; but for now we will have to wait and see. You're aware that either option they choose to go with Reigns or Rhodes as champion the WWE are going to have problems; because they have ran the Reigns/Bloodline to into the ground and as someone pointed out online and I am delighted that there are more people out there thinking like me where would you do with Rhodes after this? Because his whole story has been finish the story, what do you do after that? I mean I have completely checked out of this main event is situation because frankly it is a load of bull shish kebab, that is the price of building up scenarios without a payoff like McIntyre for one example eventually when or if you choose to have a momentous championship drop/switch no one is going to give me fudge

I mean just having a quick look on the men's side of Mania regardless of either night I eventually have very little interest in; no really, the ladder match for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships and the triple threat for the WWE Universal Championship and  Zayn vs. Walter for his WWE Intercontinental Championship; will be good but we all know this spot should have been Gable's; if Zayn wins here I will be absolutely fuming, hopefully Gable costs him the win and Knight vs. Styles should be good as well; but it could very easily just being main event of SmackDown and I have no interest in seeing Jey vs. Jimmy and I have indicated as much for some time now Little to No Interest in seeing this at potentially WWE WrestleMania 40/2024? - Spoilers Alarm! Link https://averagemansreviews2017.blogspot.com/2023/09/little-to-no-interest-in-seeing-this-at.html

So the female side of things is much stronger, but for one little detail or actually two details; so the WWE don't yet trust Jade Cargill which is on his based on she has been positioned around 5 women that knows what the WWE is expected of them, so it covers up any of Cargill's weaknesses. I mean Cargill looked so much better in AEW, because they protected her not only in a wrestling sense but also a promo sense, because yes she did speak in AEW, but because of her presentation it was easier to cover up her weaknesses on the mic, which is honestly true I didn't notice until last Friday's SmackDown 29/03/2024 her main roster debut which yes looked good, but a complete waste of time and if you want to make her look like a big deal I would have waited until after Mania, because regardless of shows everyone knows a week after this massive event the crowds are notoriously mental so this is a wasted opportunity and obviously the second detail is so these WWE Women's Tag Team Championships aren't worth shish kebab as they owned being defended by The Kabuki Warriors: Asuka & Kairi Sane.

Now we move on to AEW; we need is serious conversation Tony Khan, I like your promotion, but stop getting into back and forths with people, in particular Eric Bischoff, I mean I know of it this time around I haven't looked into it, but if it is like your previous conversations just don't bother, I mean I have run ins with people on social media and that will discuss them later, but for here and now I say my bit and eventually but let's go. Moving on to Jack Perry; I don't like the guy either, because on the biggest night of AEW's history at AEW: All In 2023 he went into business for himself, just for the record if he did it at any other pay-per-view I would have been annoyed gave him a suspension and moving on, but as this was the biggest event in AEW history it was hardly the right time to have a public outburst on a massive stage. But whatever is happening between you two right now, I will tell you from an outsider's perspective, it is hardly a good look for you TK. Because I know of one other wrestling promoter that used to do this kind of shish kebab of having a wrestler's contract and either not intending to use them or not allowing them to go and be released, I should point out yes I am aware of allegedly [grey area] apparently there were conversations to bring Perry back before WWE Survivor Series 2023 where Punk made his return and it kicked it all off again. Because TK blames Perry for losing Punk and the more content I hear about this situation, the more it sounds like TK would have let Punk get away with mostly anything which is really fudgin' embarrassing and sad, let me remind you TK everyone including myself repeatedly warned you about the dangers of hiring Punk and you just didn't listen, yes Punk may be a big draw, but he is not worth the backstage aggravation and let me remind you he spent more time on the injury list them being a actual champion; so in a nutshell working it out with Perry or release him; this garbage is not a good look for your promotion; your promotion that said they were going to be different; but you are actively dealing with Perry in the same way that Mr. McMahon if anyone crossed him; it is just a shame you wouldn't show those kind of grapefruits to Punk.

The problem is I am seeing déjà vu with TK and Mercedes Moné where he has said she can be the face of AEW and I am sitting there going hold on; wait just one fudgin' second she has literally been in the door for one second and you already putting her on a pedestal, above those that have worked their posterior off day in and day out, especially on the women's side of things where they don't get were have never gotten any real screen time. That is massively disrespectful and incredibly rude, considering Moné even before her first on TV appearance indicated she will probably end her career in WWE [once again yes I am aware since this has come out; she meant it in no disrespect.] But having said this; how was she expecting us to take it? I mean really; you sign this contract worth millions and let me get this right so far you have indicated the following; one day you want to be back in the WWE, some promos/sit down interview and TV appearances on you want to be in AEW to make it a global brand and minus a scuffle, but not in a booked wrestling match yet, I know I have said this before but whatever TK is paying her it just isn't worth it, she can't even give a good promo, yes I know she is young but however unlike Cargill [debut in 2021] Moné's debut was in 2010 so by my rough calculations that is 14 years and she still can't deliver a remotely good promo, okay she can deliver one that gets the job done, but that is about it and let's face it she just isn't a big draw.

Finally let's talk about the fan base of these two promotions: I am getting fed up with the toxic nature of wrestling fans, now don't misunderstand me, I can handle it, but at the same time why should I have to receive abuse, about for an example the last time someone called me fat, when it has nothing to do with wrestling itself and you call yourself wrestling fans, while that is bull shish kebab, I stand by everything I have said about the current main event as it relates to the WWE and the current Moné developments. Get this through your thick heads the more wrestling promotions we have, the more better the wrestling industry becomes. Like me or hate me I don't give a fudge, but if you have lived through the monopolisation of the WWE when WCW sold/closed to the WWF/E in 2001, the subsequent years were the dark days of wrestling, as I have said many times. So revelling in AEW struggling currently is just stupidity, I mean I feel bad for TNA at the moment, because through all their hard work just to come back to then go through basically another upheaval in a nutshell is just really bad timing and whilst I'm on the subject for those that say I am a diehard AEW fan but spent all day everyday revelling in their struggle, can I just say you need to go and get a life as at the end of the day we are talking about people's livelihoods, I know TK isn't everybody's cup of tea, but I do think he is trying to make the industry better, even though sometimes he leaves himself open for criticism. But I don't know about everyone else, but all I want is a vibrant wrestling industry

Just a heads up: I will be discussing things freely but as always softening my language.

WWE: this Volume is not about this company; but I will link in this content, because I have let it go, but it is still a joke that at the time they let this amount of talent go especially when they are rolling in the money. Reactionary To The Wrestling News of: WWE Releases 21/09/2023 Link https://averagemansreviews2017.blogspot.com/2023/09/reactionary-to-wrestling-news-of-wwe_23.html and then in the interest of fairness and balance and transparency Reactionary To The Wrestling News of: WWE Releases 21/09/2023 Link https://averagemansreviews2017.blogspot.com/2023/09/wasted-mustafa-ali-in-wwe-by.html

All Elite Wrestling: the best place for me to begin is by leaving this link here Reactionary To The Wrestling News of: Jade Cargill to WWE 26/09/2023 Confirmed & AEW What you the hell is going on? Link https://averagemansreviews2017.blogspot.com/2023/09/reactionary-to-wrestling-news-of.html if you read this first it is highlighting some of AEW's problems. But back to here and now; the reason why we are here is to discuss another problem and if Tony Khan doesn't change these problems I can see nothing but issues. Because the WWE had a taste some of these issues. The AEW event nights including zero hour and pay-per-views are just way, way, way too long. Even though I don't watch them this is more down to access and financial restraints. Before I continue I just want to state I will continue doing this wrestling content; but I really don't like it now when there are these event nights; because they take so long to put together and on top of that he did the adds more matches regardless if it is on the pay-per-view or zero hour it doesn't matter; it is just bloated and this is my speculation/opinion it isn't a surprise to me that the audience could be exhausted by this experience.

Now before some people go back in history and point out that back in the beginning I didn't mind, because these events didn't happen this often. In fact I think I made reference to that at some point; where I roughly said something to the effect of it is okay, because it doesn't happen that often but if they did we would have a problem [I can't remember if those were my precise words, but the point was still implied there.] Because be for the WWE Premium Live Event era as I have already made reference to the WWE had this problem.

On top of that; unfortunately it is clear that TK is leaving himself like wide open for heavy criticism and even though I like him and AEW, I can't defend this; if we had 14 match slots to fill based on AEW WrestlingDream 2023 why is it that we only had one all women's match Julia Hart vs. Kris Statlander; Singles Match for the AEW TBS Championship and if tag or/and trios wrestling is a massive part of your promotions ethos what the hell is TMDK: Shane Haste, Mikey Nicholls & Bad Dude Tito vs. Champs The Acclaimed: Anthony Bowens and Max Caster & Billy Gunn; Six-Man Tag Team Match for the AEW World Trios Championship doing on zero hour? I mean I said it or something to that effect in the pay-per-view predictions for this event, eventually if this happens enough you are essentially taking away the prestige and the credibility of these championships. If you have read/viewed the connecting content about the Cargill/AEW What the hell is going on? I don't want to see wrestlers leave I know, I know it is a part of the wrestling business. But when they aren't being used or/used properly I don't know what TK expects them to do and I am not talking about Cargill, I am talking about the long list of talent I have put in the what the hell? section or somewhere around there, it is embarrassing to see what what names are roughly on that list and some of them are home-grown talent would really does annoy me. I mean let's be completely honest this is all unnecessary criticism, but justified criticism because if the WWE had done it or in some cases continue to do it I would also criticise them as well; all I can say is TK get your manure together, because what I find not funny, funny but sarcastically funny is you would think TK would learn from what clearly didn’t work for WWE including the WWE getting heavily criticised for its female wrestlers usage and try his very best to stay away from this kind of criticism, by doing the complete opposite or at minimum noticeably better than any business sense direct competition [before I get some heat for saying this] I had made it perfectly transparent in a business sense as two companies/promotions.

The Building of: WWE vs. All Elite Wrestling Volume 50 by AverageMansReview

Just a heads up: I will be discussing things freely but as always softening my language.

WWE: simply put it isn't about them here, but all I have to say here; everyone knows and if you don't know it is just because you have not been around wrestling long enough. That what is happening over in All Elite Wrestling the WWE would not tolerate it, I mean they would probably tolerate it until they had made one last Pay-Per-View/Premium Live Event if your name is worth cashing in, basically it is all about the money, then they would cut the individual loose. I mean Mr. McMahon had a few catchphrases as a character, but this one happens to be not only a character, but an actual promise "Don't cross the boss" or another one would be "No one is bigger than the WWE" [in hindsight he should have finished off that expression coughing and saying the following "besides me."] Or if you have done something which they don't like they would cut you lose or in fact if he or they felt good time was up and he had got his use out of you out you go, basically everyone is expendable.

All Elite Wrestling: before I continue I would like to say I like AEW and they are what the wrestling industry needed. But now I have said all that let's get down to business. Frankly I don't care, what is happening behind the scenes, I have talked about in previous volumes where on both counts essentially be it The Elite or CM Punk at one point or another I have defended them both, but let's be crystal clear here they are both at fault here for what happened at AEW All Out 2022, you see I watched someone else's content the other day and this individual was absolutely correct generally speaking Tony Kahn [the owner/other job titles of AEW] has no backbone, so let me get this right [I am not taking sides I am being completely unbiased but just pointing this out] so The Elite get essentially stripped of at the time the AEW Trio Tag Team Championships which is absolutely the right thing to do, Punk gets rewarded for his participation in this situation by getting a playground to play in better known as AEW: Collision believe that he can say who can come in or not and he can mouth off whenever he likes about The Elite either indirectly within make reference to them in some way or directly as it relates to "Hangman" Adam Page [yes full disclosure; I am aware Punk has recently text Page to apologise, the understanding was apparently it was a joke, but Punk felt bad as it didn't land properly.] I mean really, I mean really, I have life term brain damage and I even knew this would be a bad idea. I know Punk has no filter, but seriously at the age of 40+ this absolute manure is getting very old, in fact it is not even getting old I have said it on social media recently and I will say it here again in black and white. When all that controversy happened at AEW All In 2022 Kahn should have grown some grapefruits and took time to think about getting Punk out of his promotion not I will say this again not taking The Elite side. But taking his own side of "Phil you just made me look like a complete and absolute fool on our promotion's biggest night of the year All Out and don't worry I will deal with The Elite, but for you and I we are done."

Likewise I have said this on social media in the past couple of days where I have made reference to Punk having similar levels of power to Hulk Hogan back in the days of WCW and I remember at some point in the infancy of AEW I remember Kahn making reference to something to the effect of "We are going to learn lessons from WCW." So obviously I have one question for you Kahn; how is that working out for you? When you can't even control your roster. You have Punk doing and saying what the hell he fudgin likes whenever he likes, consequently the rest of the roster regardless of main show are beginning to act up or feel frustrated and at this point even I can't blame them. You have a women's roster that deserves more space and time to grow on screen, you have Jade Cargill allegedly/but possibly true not wanting to come back to the promotion. Can I just point out again that quite frankly and I am speaking from a wrestling prospective not any other perspective. She needs to remember who made her and most definitely in her first run at AEW she has nothing to complain about out of 61 matches she has 60 undefeated and plenty of TV time and so on and so forth. So if I had to pick someone that under no circumstances should be complaining it would be her, quite frankly she should come back to the company and work are contract and fudge off, I'm not saying the rest of this out of spite. But as I have just said she needs to remember who made her and the facts are she is a one-dimensional wrestler, to the point where I can say she is good, but as everyone knows there is being good and there is being WWE good, where in NXT they would wrestle rings around her and as a wrestling package including promos, the WWE would say she is as green as some of her ring attire. I mean don't get me wrong I like people with confidence in their abilities, but with her I think she is definitely believing her own hype too much; moving on.

I am not criticising Darby Allin for saying basically the AEW TNT Championship has lost its prestige [a great real and honest promo; to the point where I hope he didn't receive any heat for it, because he was being professional and keeping it in kayfabe, but just being really honest about things as they stand.] So the way this championship has been treated isn't worth spitting on it and why is that Kahn? You have taken some shine off Wardlow and Powerhouse Hobbes which how much I don't want to say it but I would be stupid not to realise that these two individually or together are at some point WWE bound Wardlow is essentially a younger power/agile wrestler and slimmer version of Brock Lesnar and Hobbes is a mixture between Ron Simmons/Faarooq  and Bobby Lashley so at this moment in time I would say it is more of a case of when not if they go to the WWE. Because you could easily sling shot one or both onto the main rosters quite easily. Because yes they may be young, but they are at that sweet moment in time where they are ready to go replacements they just need more screen time to develop or as it relates to Wardlow by accounts any time.

But back to this worthless championship, you have this really stupid situation at the moment and yes if this championship had some prestige I would be more engaged with this whole Luchasaurus and/or Christian Cage championship thing, but all I see is another nail in the coffin of this championship.

You see whilst all of this is going on Kahn has completely lost sight of what is important, the fact is he has two massive pay-per-views coming up AEW All In on Sunday 27/08/2023 just at a little place called Wembley Stadium in the United Kingdom which is almost sold out and then Sunday 03/09/2023 AEW All Out.

I have seen the card for the Wembley pay-per-view and at best I would give it 5/10, if you want to give it any less I would completely understand that, because I would scrap this pay-per-view outlay, don't get me wrong I would keep some of the matches, but nonetheless do a shake up. Khan has completely misunderstood or has no idea or completely and utterly dropped the ball how big this event actually is keeping in mind also it is their first time in the UK. It doesn't have the imagination to use the Wembley event to set up the following pay-per-view.

I mean for an example and yes I know it is slightly cheesy but it works on; they could have had a four way; Brothers vs. Brothers vs. Brothers vs. Brothers ladders match for a number 1 contenders for the AEW Tag Team Championships at AEW All Out with Top Flight, the Guns, Lucha Brothers and The Hardys instead of this Stadiums Stampede, which is very transparently trying to get names on the card.

So instead of Osprey vs. Omega III, we just get another transparently obvious match slot with many names on the card, once again I could have come up with something much better if they just wanted to get names on the card a 24 man [or as how many trios they have available at this point] Battle Royale where the winning member of a trio gets the opportunity to join against The House of Black for their trios Championships under The House of Black stipulations and AEW All Out or if he has any plans for this group already it is just a simple case of adding this winning team into the mix. I mean instead of putting the reigning AEW International Champion Orange Cassidy in a four in a row open invitational gauntlet match, where the fourth is a mystery [Wardlow] he demolishes Cassidy and dethrones him as champion, with a more ruthless streak I am not turning Wardlow heel, but giving him the purpose of "I was getting bored being on the sidelines" with Wardlow challenging Cassidy to a rematch at next Sunday's pay-per-view with this stipulation of a street fight.

But Osprey vs. Jericho has the look and feel of it was very rushed, it will be good but it's not exactly the kind of match you want to put on with your biggest attendance record; it most definitely should have been Osprey vs. Omega III.

On viewing this pay-per-view card if I am going to criticise the WWE for this I have to do it as well for AEW; why is there only one women's match on this card? As things are, this is not good enough I would actually discuss things with NJPW if they would allow their championship to be defended on this card as it relates to the NJPW Strong Women's Champion Willow Nightingale vs. the ROH Women's World Champion Athena; they could even have just her championship up for grabs when they have a rematch at All Out, which at some point down the line they could have this third instalment at another big pay-per-view or where is the AEW TBS Champion Kris Statlander in all of this? So TK it is one of your biggest events ever in the history of your wrestling promotion and you haven't got one of your biggest home-grown talents on the card, come on man what is up with you?! Hold on I have just realised where the hell are The Dark Order in all of this pay-per-view? Now if you have been with AEW since its inception you would know of The Dark Order's importance, you may like them or hate them or are in different to them. But at this event day without question should be on this card to represent our/their fallen leader RIP Brodie Lee, without him making an impact they or AEW wouldn't be here at Wembley and finally I am hoping TK is smart enough to say to all of the English wrestlers that are unable to wrestle; as long as I put in place one rule, no physical contact you can either be on commentary for your stablemates matches or/and deliver a promo. Because it is the right thing to do and this is not the reason for doing it, but hopefully when it comes to signing a new contract they would remember the kindness shown, but that is not my main motivation here, it is just the right thing to do to keep them involved on the big stage and TK did do these number one contenders matches at this pay-per-view for the following pay-per-view, I would take precautions such as you are not doing any TV work until the following pay-per-view, you can do promos via your mobiles and we can use that content for that week. I am just interested in keeping with either in good shape or giving them time to heal up. Finally I am just really annoyed that TK has taken so long to put this card out, with it being not a strong as it should be regardless of injuries every match should have had something on the line either for now or the following Sunday after this event, mark my words even though I like this promotion and I have already referenced this at some point in this content; I consider this to be a massive and unnecessary dropped ball situation here, obviously I hope everything goes really well, but it's not like they didn't have time to make this feel and look something special with a massive sold out or almost sold out stadium in another country, which in itself is massive, but this card should have been all guns blazing.

The Building of: WWE vs. All Elite Wrestling Volume 49 by AverageMansReview

Just a heads up: I am not best happy with both promotions and full disclosure I am behind on watching AEW TV content, just based on time meaning I can either create content or watch content but I vaguely understand what is going on and to be brutally honest I will be frank, but safely frank.

Let the dress down begin: I am absolutely fed up to my back teeth of remembering this thing called The Woman's Revolution roughly over halfway of 2015, where they said I am generalising here things were going to change and yes they did for a little while we were having women main event pay-per-views on the main roster. But you had cynical old people like me that knew this company very well from roughly the mid-to late 1980's and beyond that knew that this was a publicity stunt and yes obviously I took no joy from being right, in actual fact it infuriated me more, because I knew what was coming next the slow decline of this goodwill [meaning giving their fan base what they want] from the WWE.

Let's do a massive fast-forward to Thursday 03/08/2023 we are days away from SummerSlam 2023 Saturday 05/08/2023; we don't have Becky Lynch vs. Trish Stratus [with Zoe Starks] or the WWE World Woman's Champion The Judgement Day's Rhea Ripley in any official match capacity and let's not forget Ripley is meant to be getting compared to the highest level such as the level of Chyna. My point here is not aimed at Ripley in the slightest it is 100% aimed at the hierarchy of the WWE.

But for some strange reason and yes I know it has to do with making money a Battle Royal sponsored by Slim Jim's and I am also aware of it just gets names on the card such as LA Knight, but if I had my way I would scrap this and give this slot to Lynch and Stratus, just because in this one match you have two women that in their own generations have established themselves as a cornerstone of their previous or present divisions and it is massively disrespectful in fact I have just thought of a perfect match; these two legends take on one another at this event in a lumberjills match that will get women on the card in some capacity and you could build off new feuds from this match slot and yes just for the record if I couldn't scrap this match slot I would just add one more to the card, because it is easily big enough that everyone wants to see it at a Premium Live Event and I would want to show my women's roster respect.

The biggest reason why I have created this content was; I have been verbal about supporting the women's roster and so far I have had two people questioning my support to the point where I am paraphrasing here one wanted me to justify why Knight and others deserved to be left off this card and the other had the strangest notion that in a nutshell two matches for female wrestlers was progression keeping in mind there is eight slots and of course this individual made reference to back when females were headlining pay-per-views and blaming the fan base and not the WWE hierarchy, I should now point out that yes everyone is entitled to their opinion. But at the same time these mindsets are spread out of Mr McMahon's playbook, where they would rather twisted things and put the blame somewhere else rather than on the person/people that hold all the cards.

When it is 2023 depending on the size of the card we should have two, three or even four matches on the card so for an example as we have a bigger card to work with it should have been three or maybe next year four but for now three matches on this card end of story.

To be brutally honest; I don't see why the female wrestlers including people like myself have to work so fudging hard to defend my opinion, the women's wrestlers and what they clearly live for. I mean I would partially understand it if we were back when Trish and Lita started out, because back then and I mean no disrespect to anyone you only had may be a handful of wrestlers that could wrestle with in the WWF/E, mixed with some that were basic wrestlers mixed with women that were clearly not wrestling savvy even though they tried or of course you have a few that should have never thought about wrestling [ even in the infancy stages of NXT - the competition game show era which any self-respecting WWE fan doesn't talk about, but I digress.] But that is clearly not the case in 2023 I mean this in a positive way; for some strange reason NXT have a conveyor belt of female wrestlers that can wrestle they just need like the males also just more polishing, if I was the women in NXT I would stay there for as long as possible, at least you get screen time and you can wrestle, well it is better than either being stuck in catering or let's not forget to take into consideration the possibility of some names being injured which in fairness and balance can't be helped or here is a great idea give the females on the main rosters more screen time including match time.

I mean unless they are injured; in basic summary [it is still going to be quite a lot anyway, but simplified] and yes I don't care about the brand split or who is where, actually I don't know and I still don't care. But I digress again I would put Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn in this feud against Nikki Cross & Piper Niven, where after two months of them pushing each other to their limits we get to the point of having one match where if Cross & Niven win Fyre & Dawn will leave this tag team alone. But if Fyre & Dawn win Cross & Niven has to join them and become a group of four. Obviously they lose this match and at first Cross & Niven rebel against being a part of this group, but over time Fyre & Dawn encourage them to let go and embrace their full potential, which eventually they do on a big stage of a Premium Live Event laying waste to anyone that stands before them, eventually calling themselves "The Sisters of M" at first they go after the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships which they win, months go past a babyfaces comes up with the idea to set up a match between these this group for them to go head-to-head for these Tag Team Championships which we have this match and regardless of the result this group are still united as long as these championships are in this group that is all what matters, months go past they eventually lose their championships in a ladder match.

They mysteriously disappear from TV for three months and after a Premium Live Event, they suddenly slowly begin making their presence felt either in creepy vignettes talking of an old challenge or maybe going after a new challenge, everyone thinking that they may go for individual championships which partially this would not be a bad idea to keep the plate spinning smokescreen for their real purpose and that is to find their champion, meanwhile creepy things begin to happen to the male wrestlers, like little messages on a mirror for telling off their future, ideally eventually I would like to choose Drew McIntyre [if he was still with the company at this time.]

Yes by the way I am lifting this idea from William Shakespeare's Macbeth[a.k.a. the Scottish play] hence why I chose everyone that comes from Scotland, I know there is only three witches in Macbeth, but I wanted to make things more interesting in the earlier stages of this feud/beginning of this group and yes in England Theatre you never say so Macbeth, it is considered bad luck so hence why I just went with M. But if McIntyre is not in the WWE at this time I would take at minimum anyone from Scotland, England, Wales or Ireland. Where they promised this individual if you listen to us we can guide you to riches, this is where it would be really useful if they brought back King/Queen of the Ring in particular King, so whomever this individual is he wins King of the Ring. I think that is enough, I mean there is roughly about without being arrogant about maybe over two years worth of material there and that is how you use up to five wrestlers.

Just to finish off here if I had to choose a new wrestler to work with which was at minimum British it would have to be Bailey Matthews, I haven't seen him wrestle for a long time since NXT UK, but I know he has IT and when he becomes King I would like his father William Regal [King of the Ring winner of 2008] to be the master of ceremonies/voice piece/wise man.

Additional: as I was just finishing up this content it has been coming over on a social media platform Becky Lynch vs. Trish Stratus [with Zoe Starks] was removed from SummerSlam due to time restraints, basically not having enough time. This is firstly absolutely garbage and secondly this is easily remedied as I have already referenced off you go Battle Royal or if I couldn't Ricochet vs. Logan Paul; Singles Match, I know Paul brings a lot of social media attention, but at this point I don't care, it is about doing the right thing. When you have as I have already referenced essentially two legends in their own right, putting in the TV time to make this feud work, you are absolutely fudging right I would put them on over a part timer that has done a little bit of TV time and once again doing the right thing because this is a big pay-per-view there should be at least three matches on an eight match card. I am not having this it is just garbage and what I'm starting to find really amusing with these so-called wrestling fans that are defending the WWE over this decision. I bet some of you were the same people that were behind these hash tags [insert name] deserves better. I know as I have also said everyone is entitled to their opinion, but come on when it comes down to the crunch where are you? Now back to your regular scheduled content.

All Elite Wrestling: well as far as I am concerned this is déjà vu again where AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door 2022 and roughly around this time the women were not getting much of a look in, because Tony Kahn was prioritising this event over the women, which for the first time it isn't acceptable and I am not condoning it, but it is one of those things that for the first time/once people may say okay fair enough, hopefully this will never be repeated again and we need to learn better for the following years, okay lessons learnt or are you would like to think so.

Now I do like this company, but even I can't sugarcoat this or/and am not turning against this company, but your women's roster deserves better.

Yes I did say that this wrestling promotion would need 10 years, to see how things would turn out and we are just on the fourth year, but it doesn't give this promotion/company the time to either go back within its progression. Even though I haven't watched the up-to-date content yet, I am already getting the feeling from online that yet again if something bigger comes around the corner like Forbidden Door or AEW All In [Sunday 27/08/2023] or/and then AEW All Out [Sunday 03/09/2023,] hopefully the women's division doesn't take too far of a back seat, yes I expect there to be good matches on this cards, but when I say it a back seat I am also including screen time to build up to their big matches.

We are now at the point with the AEW women's roster where generally speaking they aren't so green roughly four years later if they are still with the promotion obviously, Khan is lucky to have a relatively young division that is very hungry to just go out and wrestle and even though I am not behind the scenes, maybe it is about time to delegate some of the workload off to a unit of maybe 20 people spearheaded by someone like an active wrestler/on-screen personality like Madison Rayne [not a consistent on-screen character just used sparingly with an important announcements and to deal with squabbles,] I am trying not to make it into like WWE, I am just trying to give the women's division some kind of structure behind the scenes so that on the screens they can more like AEW is our promotion also, I mean Khan can make weekly appointments to be the overseer to this in this unit or if he is happy with how things are going now and again obviously popping to show any interest and to give praise, but to give the women's roster including the unit space and time to grow and develop.

Moving on slightly to Jade Cargill it has been documented that she may not ever come back to AEW and if it is true. Where the hell do you get off? AEW give you this massive opportunity to show off your talents and for your first run you get given the AEW TBS Championship and you go on the best run of your career. I know she is still young 31 years old and only debuted in early 2021, but this run is going to take some beating and let's be honest if she went anywhere else she wouldn't be given the same level of treatment. Don't get me wrong, this is not coming from a bitter prospective if she leaves, this is coming from the perspective of show AEW some respect and loyalty. Because yes you can wrestle, but your wrestling promo skills could do with some work, let's see what you can do with a different gimmick or/and turn and let's talk about the elephant in the room, the elephant in the room being you are the only woman within AEW that definitely shouldn't be complaining right now as you have been featured all over the place with carrying the AEW TBS Championship.

If she went to the WWE, she would probably be stuck in NXT or WWE main roster, better known as catering, because they have ready-made by their own hands wrestlers that know the WWE way, so I am not disrespecting her it is just someone that has been in wrestling for five minutes, thinks she is all that how about giving AEW another year pay your dos and then head off to Impact, WWE, New Japan Pro wrestling or anywhere you would like.

Moving on to; Dr. Britt Baker, DMD vs. Taya Valkyrie; Singles Match on AEW: Dynamite on 26/07/2023, now I have seen elements of this match and no I'm not going to softball this, instead of going negative on it, which okay it wasn't the best by any stretch of the imagination. But it seems to be a lot about not much, as in yes these are individually and together top female wrestlers, it is just that they had a bad day at the office which coincided in both of them having a bad day at the office.

Which if I was Khan, Baker and Valkyrie I would deliberately set up this feud where in their promos they happen to mention the last time we wrestled it didn't go too well, how about we show up the critics and set up a first blood/no1 contenders match at AEW All Out 2023 for the AEW Women's World Championship at AEW Revolution 2024 and if we're going to go down let's bring the house down with us as well, so by doing this it turns something from a negative into a positive.

Finally; I want to see Jamie Hayter at AEW All In 2023 in some capacity, I know she is injured but she deserves to be there either been on commentary for either this entire pay-per-view or just the women's matches or/and she could be an interviewer just for Baker. She needs to be there because it is the first time that AEW would be coming from England, specifically Wembley. It would probably do her mentally some good to be there in some capacity, at least she could say she was there, it is the right thing to do and lastly but not mainly I want to make that crystal clear, when she comes to sign another contract she will remember or hopefully remember that kindness shown is in when I was injured they still included me in this once-in-a-lifetime/first-time experience of being involved in this massive AEW event taking place in my home country and Wembley nonetheless, I just want to make it crystal clear again this is not my main reasoning for doing this, my main reason for doing this or suggesting this is just based on it is the right thing to do.

In conclusion: women of both promotions deserve much better than what they are currently being given, I can't believe that this is still a big problem in 2023; I wasn't expecting a quick fix. But I was hopeful that things were going to slow progress forward instead of backwards I mean after the first Forbidden Door it look like AEW was slowly getting back on track. To be honest it would be nice in 2024 not to bring this up again or if I do I want to be talking about the progression from both of these promotions. Because if I am here again roughly sometime in 2024 talking about this and everything is basically the same the gloves will be coming off for both companies regardless if it is just roughly five years into a decade in yes I like AEW, but they were founded on being something different to the establishment a.k.a. the WWE so be something different like and I mean this in a positive way be stressed out by quality women's feud/match could we put on this pay-per-view or TV content over this is another feud/match here or another here or another here.

The Building of: WWE vs. All Elite Wrestling Volume 48 by AverageMansReview

Just a heads up: I am not best happy with both promotions, I was thinking I would state that from the very beginning so I didn't get any heat coming back and yes I know I don't really do these volumes anymore this is just more down to creating other content.

WWE: so we are heading towards WWE Night of Champions 2023 this Saturday 27/05/2023 where every championship should be on the line yes? Straight off the bat I am smart enough not to bring up the fact that not every championship is on the line yet, because when I first began dictating this it is roughly a week away so as the old expression goes "card subject to change." But what I can say is this; if every championship is meant to be on the line why isn't Reigns defending his  WWE Universal Championship, I mean he is meant to be your flagship promotion champion yet he isn't defending his championship at this event on Saturday yet he has been given the opportunity to win the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships with Solo Sikoa vs. Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn and on top of that it has been well publicised that Reigns is going to take more time off to do outside projects. I would like to say I thought this company would have learned with Brock Lesnar being a part-time champion, but they clearly haven't as they have even done worse which you would think is something they couldn't do, because part-time champions of this nature just don't work. I mean why don't they just come out and tell us it will Cody Rhodes vs. Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40/2024 this Championship and be done with it. Yes Reigns may be the longest reigning champion of the modern times, but like it or not when other content creators look back over this reign I am speculating here it would probably work out as average at best.

Speaking of main event champions the WWE World Heavyweight Championship is not in circulation yet but it is fastly becoming a joke. I mean if you didn't know it was created to basically indicate that we have no intention of dethroning Reigns any time soon, so let us create another championship to specifically and I will say that again specifically be put on Monday Night Raw or that a full-time wrestler can make it prestigious; we will have Raw and SmackDown Superstars [go for a Raw exclusive main brand championship, so I have no idea why SmackDown is involved] and yes there was a very good reason why I am essentially recapping everything I will tell you why in a little while. So in the final of this tournament we have Raw's Seth Rollins vs. SmackDown's AJ Styles Singles Match for the inaugural WWE Heavyweight Champion at this upcoming event; so is everyone with me so far? Now this is where the wheels of really may come off and let's keep in mind that this championship isn't in circulation yet, now everyone is thinking that Rollins is going to win this championship because he is on Raw right? Well this may not be the case as things stand I would say it is more like 50%, because as I understand it they haven't decided. Because of this is nothing against Rollins they wanted a full-time wrestler and Rollins can't give them that at the moment based on he is working on a small project I don't know if you have heard of it Captain America 4: New World Order 2024 so either way the WWE hierarchy are going to be made to look for fool. On one hand they could give it to Rollins but with the knowledge that at some point he is not going to be available which voids the whole reason why this new championship was created in the first place or on the other hand they could give it to AJ Styles which in turn is going to make the WWE Draft look even more stupid than what it is as a SmackDown Superstar wins a Raw exclusive championship, but then again this promotion has allowed a man to win the Woman's Money In The Bank [if you know what I'm talking about, you know] so yes obviously this match between Rollins and Styles is going to be amazing, but I can guarantee you regardless of the result everyone will remember the result for possibly the wrong reason. I mean at this going rate I don't see why if Reigns as a limited schedule I don't see why they don't give Rollins a similar if temporary situation. Nothing against Rollins, but I have very little interest in the main brand championships even though Rollins has been carrying the company for years and as I have said multiple times now I don't have nothing against him I am just playing cards that may be dealt. I am really much more interested in the WWE Intercontinental Championship picture, let's face it ever since Walter has carried it, he has put its prestigious value back into it.

All Elite Wrestling: what I'm about to say next I will completely stand by it from now until this individual has left this promotion. As far as I'm concerned CM Punk can leave wrestling this time permanently. Before I get criticism or indicated as a fickle person, yes I have never been the biggest fan of him. But this is it is crucial for you to understand when this entire situation with essentially The Elite happened with Punk and Ace Steel I was one of the ones that was leaning heavily in his corner. But however since Kenny Omega, Matt and Nick Jackson have been punished and consequently came back to AEW they have been professional wrestlers as from this trio you can sense and when they spoke about it there is regret there, to be fair and honest I would rather move on with anyone that was involved on The Elite side of this unprofessional situation then Punk.

You seem there has been one very large turning point for me and it happened some days ago where I saw and heard from Mr Punk about his latest grievances with AEW it isn't just what he said it is how he said it, where it was anything but professional his attitude is completely wrong so much so it to the point where if I was Tony Kahn I would be wondering; yes he is a needle pusher, but at the same time if everything isn't okay around him he is just a powderkeg waiting to go off, makes that in with the locker room atmosphere and his injury prone body now is he actually worth the money I am paying him and not forgetting the fact he is making Tony Kahn look bad, because he is someone you can't punish and he won't learn, so I would really pay off Punk just to get him out of my promotion I mean he is already made TK partly look like a fool again with the entire Warner Brothers Discovery AEW Collision media up front and not forgetting it was set to be in Chicago on its debut Saturday 17/06/2023 in Punk's backyard but that isn't happening anymore I mean this is precisely what I mean AEW cannot rely on Punk to be a professional you know okay behind closed doors have issues with AEW, but show a united front when it is necessary to do so.

TK I like him, but man what the hell is Ace Steel doing back in AEW? Yes if you didn't know this has recently came to light that he has been quietly working for AEW again and many people didn't know about it. I am far from happy with these turn of events that basically what we have here is all these combustible elements potentially coming back to AEW; I think TK is politely and respectfully asking for trouble having these compatible individuals in the same promotion again.

I have heard people expressing concern about AEW falling into a the same trap as WCW, I am not being arrogant I don't really have to really go and hear their opinion, because I lived through it once and I completely get what they are saying even if it is meant as friendly wanting AEW to do well with Dynamite and Coalition or anything other.

This is why I am in a strong belief that Punk and Steel need to go, because yes I have been around wrestling for many years so I expect there to be some level of heat backstage, but these two are potentially toxic and quite frankly AEW do not need this at this time. Because we are rapidly approaching another turning point for this promotion in actual fact it could be the biggest one ever AEW is going to fly or sink so if I was TK I would be thinking about getting out any individual that that could cause any massive problems and get everyone onside.

I am desperately hoping that AEW are not as foolish as WCW between their two big programs Nitro and Thunder where they basically ran their wrestlers ragged. I would like to think that TK would use the depth of his roster I'm not talking about a brand split, I'm just talking about this promotion has plenty of champions and talent in a nutshell I know I have indicated this once before but especially now he should run his wrestling promotion like a sports team, like this talent has been featuring a lot maybe I should give them some time off or promo time just not in ring or make sure I have maybe one championship match a week on either show or after this pay-per-view may be writing them off TV so they can heal up or recharge their batteries or maybe a few additions to the roster, but I am just really, really, really hoping that TK uses his roster and doesn't fall into the WCW trap. Because you may like or hate AEW, but their arrival in 2019 they have brought a second wave of the new era in wrestling and for those that don't like this promotion, let me remind you that even if they are just there to keep the WWE on their toes I am sure that TK and people in his promotion would aim higher than what I am suggesting, but if they are just here to do that to keep the WWE so that they don't monopolise the wrestling business ever again that can only be good for the wrestling business as a whole and on a brief side note yes I know there is Impact Wrestling, they don't have the same financial backing as these two other promotions.

The Building of: WWE vs. All Elite Wrestling Volume 47 by AverageMansReview

Full disclosure: these people have stepped down from the Board of Directors of the WWE are Jo Ellen Lyons Dillon, Jeffrey R. Speed & Alan M. Wexler I will discuss who will be replacing them as far as I know of this content. Spoiler warning at some point I will be giving a result away.

WWE: Wow I mean this in the most nicest way; you have to feel sorry for any main focus wrestling content creators, because this Mr. McMahon saga isn't going away any time soon. Mr. McMahon is back within the WWE on the Board of Directors, but he isn't coming alone, you see whilst he has been away he has been plotting is comeback with Executives George Barrios & Michelle Wilson, which if these two names look familiar to you, it is because Mr. McMahon either release them or fired them either way it has the same outcome roughly in May 2020 for basically disagreeing with him how to sell the WWE product in some capacity.

The wrestling community are on one hand going to hate what I have to say next because I don't like it myself, but on the other hand there are going to be some out there that knows unfortunately he is correct.

In simple English the Board of Directors yes tried to prevent Mr. McMahon from coming back to the WWE, but however he is in a capacity where he has the control to come back if he pushed hard enough, which is essentially what he did by am paraphrasing here "If there is any form of TV renewal or product sale, I will decline it." Which as WWE Raw is coming up for renewal in 2024 and likewise WWE SmackDown is coming up for renewal at the end of 2023 it puts the WWE on the back foot and I can't take credit for what I am going to say next, because someone else said it before me, but it is very true; he is holding his company for ransom. The old school generation of wrestling fans/content creators will agree but we also know this is incredibly harsh but sadly true Mr. McMahon is never and I repeat never going to willingly completely willingly give up his throne/power until the day he dies and we are now seeing that coming true, but he is also a hypocrite based on the grounds he is always said "No one is bigger than the WWF/WWE" and from a that applies to him, I am very much aware that he doesn't put himself in that same bracket, but I am still very comfortable calling him a hypocrite and not forgetting the sponsorships and the TV networks will not want to have him either associated with their advertising or network based on his black cloud. So in my opinion where the WWE would have been in a stronger position without the black cloud there has been this vast improvement on things, they never have this wild card that wants to sell, I call Mr. McMahon the wild card, because no one knows if he is going to be difficult or accommodating

This seems like a good point to point out that the Board of Directors were originally unanimous in declining Mr. McMahon's willingness to come back based on his recent and ongoing legal disputes [I have phrased it this way so I have covered my back and in no way shape or form to protect Mr. McMahon] but as you can see how can I put this nicely; he went "Screw you are coming back!" So consequently some people have resigned, consequently it now leaves some seats opened to put the people that Mr. McMahon wants on the board, for the UK based fans this is very much beginning to look like how our government is actually run, we have somebody in power that, shouldn't be there wasn't elected or re-elected and to ensure they get what they want, they strategically bring people in or around to vote their way.

Apparently I'm going to say apparently, because I don't trust Mr. McMahon he says again I am paraphrasing here has been positive about the creative aspect and is only coming back to negotiate the sale of the WWE. Which I don't believe, because a man like Mr. McMahon craves power and is a control freak, so I can see him accidentally [looking accidentally but obviously purposely getting involved in creative.]

Which not surprisingly there have been many sources of wrestlers within the WWE that says if he is coming back to the head of creative they want out of the WWE.

Now experienced wrestling fans and content creators would hope that at no stage does he make a return to TV and on top of that I hope he doesn't get a heroes welcome or at minimum a massive pop. Because there was no way in hell he should, if you want to change the perspective of how the wrestling industry is being seen outside of our little bubble? Don't clap, don't cheer, basically just make no sound that we will not tolerate at minimum, because from a legal standpoint once again I have to protect myself we will not tolerate this/his behaviour. Because if and when he makes an appearance and if I hear just one person, I will be making these points time after time; 1. So let me get this right some of you at some point where using this has tag #SpeakingOut [this was a movement in 2020 against at minimum inappropriate behaviour towards women in wrestling] and he may as well be the poster-man for this has tag movement. 2. Hulk Hogan is cancelled for dropping the N-word in recording in 2016; which I am not defending in the slightest, but my point is valid if Hogan is pretty much cancelled for that, yet for some strange reason there are some people out there that will cheer for Mr McMahon I find this very insulting and it discredits the wrestling industry and its fan base as a whole or as it relates to making a sound I have just had an idea I know I can't do this, but if you want a whistle every time he is on-screen or anything like this just to show you're not happy then I will back off.

As I have been dictating this; I have already started to see rejoicing online at the fact that Mr McMahon is back within the WWE which I have to choose my words incredibly carefully because I am fuming at this, because this is precisely what I was talking about as it relates to Hulk Hogan and Mr McMahon when there is no difference between these two, but for some strange reason there are some people out there that don't see them as the same okay on different levels of bad, but still bad and I really want to finish off this section in this manner in particular to those people that are rejoicing at the fact that this man is back; please take two seconds to think about the people that have to work in contact with Mr. McMahon or if or when or whatever happens to the creative side of things if you should somehow find his way back into that position take two seconds to think about the entire WWE as a whole and I am talking about the actual lives here yes the product is important, but since Mr McMahon has left it has been a 90% improvement on the WWE as a whole [even the fair and balanced the WWE fan base would go 90% is fair considering not everything has brilliantly with all of the talent coming back, but it is a phenomenal improvement nonetheless.]

All Elite Wrestling: on this side of the fence I have to say since a certain CM Punk has not been around things have settled down a bit, I am not saying it is perfect, but there is a noticeable change. Before I receive complaints I know it isn't perfect like I have just said, I was just talking about the comparison between then and now and they seem to be having backstage politics issues with other wrestling promotions which I honestly had a speech lineup about this; it was going to go something like come on Tony Kahn you may have to play better with others especially when the WWE under Triple-H are trying to do the now as AAA; Tay Melo and Sammy Guevara were stripped of the AAA World Mixed Tag Team Championships because of in a nutshell what seems to be frustration with AEW over booking and yes on a quick side note I am aware of what happened with the AAA Men's versions of these championships where basically an WWE signed talent pins and AEW talent [at the pay-per-view AAA Noche de Campeones/English interpretation Night of Champions 2022 when Los Hermanos Lee's; WWE's Dragon Lee & Dralístico defeats AEW's Las Super Ranas./FDR's Dax Harwood & Cash  Wheeler, then for these new champions to vacate and Lee to announce he was heading to the WWE, which I have to say game respects game. Meaning there was a reason why Mr. McMahon had to learn very quickly back in the 1990s to put a stipulation in his contracts [it is better known as  "Non-Compete Clause"; it prevents talent from wrestling on NXT I believe it is 30 days and for the main roster it is 90 days where they can't wrestle for another company.] You see back in the 1990's a wrestler could go from one promotion to the next and show up within a matter of days on another promotion/TV product which AEW doesn't use this legal stipulation, which is also fair because they want to be seen as the company that do this kind of thing, but it just reminds me of the olden days gone past.

But what I find interesting about this whole mixed tag team situation is Sammy Guevara comes out and says I am paraphrasing here the whole booking situation is incorrect, I know he has a history of being a handful of an individual backstage, but at least he is honest you know; he is slowly getting the reputation of being a bad boy but honest about it or if there is something honest he will tell you and just to make sure I squash the thoughts of me being biased towards AEW I am not really a of this husband-and-wife; like a AEW fan will tell you; the backstage things surrounding this couple or just him or their whole gimmick is well exposed so yes individually or together they can wrestle, but it looks like you have to take the rough with the smooth with them.

To finish off this large instalment; everything is on a knife edge, because the new hierarchy of the WWE were just getting going and let's be honest and AEW and 2022 wasn't the best for the company from a publicity standpoint so 2023 is going to be one tough ride I am not in this world, because we are only a week into 2023 so all I can say is; "Strap in it may be a bumpy ride to 2024." [I was thinking I should just point this out: I began this on Friday and finished it is Saturday morning so by now things have probably change.]

The Building of: WWE vs. All Elite Wrestling Volume 46 by AverageMansReview 

WWE & All Elite Wrestling: this I know I don't often do these instalments any more, it is just down to the time and energy and on top of that I know are usually do these two wrestling promotions separately, but in this case it would make much more better sense to discuss them together and I really wasn't planning to do this today. But it has been suggested that Mr McMahon at some point in the future is going to at least try to push his way back into his company, even with the legal baggage which seems to be getting more. I'm not going to discuss any of it, okay I may make vague references to it such as legal issues or you know something similar but that would be about it and yes I know he still has 51% control in the WWE And the impending documentary from The Dark Side of the Ring entitled "The Nine Lives of Mr McMahon." 

I am hoping that the WWE board and other hierarchy members stand strong and deny him, because since he has departed generally speaking of what I have seen and heard from other content creators, I don't watch their TV programming but I do watch their Premium Live Events from their main roster and NXT and generally speaking the lowest mark I have awarded is 7/10 which is a massive improvement based on a never used to watch them [because when Mr McMahon was in creative control eventually I got so angry,] so when I say it is a massive improvement that is how big I am actually talking about. Don't get me wrong not everything that Triple H. has done is perfect such as for one example Braun Stroman, back in the day on his first run with in this promotion I was under the misconception he could have been/should have been something special, but since his return he has proven me wrong. But back to Triple H. [and in fairness and balance the hierarchy that are now running things as well] have successfully stabilised the ship brought back their young and I can't stress this enough with their young talent and make things competitive on their own product, make things competitive between themselves and AEW [yes, yes I know they don't see them as competitors.] But like it or not and I know I will get heavily criticised for this from the WWE hard-core fan base but never mind under Triple H. he has stemmed the flow of everything going one way with AEW and don't worry I will get onto AEW later. But Triple H. and the hierarchy of the WWE have been surfing this massive wave of goodwill from the wrestling community, but to have at least the idea that Mr McMahon may come back in some capacity Will under the goodwill and to use one of Mr McMahon's phrases " No one person is bigger then the WWE" which I now find this hypocritical just based on that is precisely if and I do stress in, because I don't want to be misquoted here, He is actually saying by his actions that I am bigger than the WWE. Which I am not condoning this; but if you have known Mr McMahon long enough, this is how precisely he thinks; he is an arrogant, misogynistic, lunatic but should have been either step down [deep down I know he wouldn't/will not give up the remaining power he has left without a fight] or forcibly unable to control anything of the WWE.

I know it is going to take time to undo the damage which Mr McMahon has done and I am not overlooking that in the slightest, but for the first time in decades it finally looks like that the WWE are dragging themselves out of the dark ages of wrestling and there is one massive yet incredibly obvious point that the board/hierarchy need to consider; sometime in the future but not too far off their TV deals are coming up for renewal Raw towards the later stages of 2023 and SmackDown the later stages of 2024 let's put this nice and easy with Mr McMahon out of the picture and with Triple H. putting consistently good content on [based on when I listen to other content creators] and as I have already highlighted I watch some of their content, so Triple H. could and probably are bringing back some fans to their product, logic would dictate this would put the WWE in a stronger position for negotiations, unlike Mr McMahon's creative control and legal issues.

All Elite Wrestling on the other hand just need to get through this year, I am not turning my back on them but as a fan they have gone from one problem to another and then to another this year. But what has became clear this year is they do have a cluster of wrestlers that when things hit the wall they will stand up and be counted. I do believe that because of their many issues in 2022 it has stunted the growth of this promotion. I mean for an example I know I said originally we would have to give this promotion 10 years to see how things turn out and I stand by that to a certain extent, meaning as long as things were moving forward I would be happy with that. But for an example the women's division has stopped moving forwards and this has nothing to do with the wrestling side of things, this has to do with Tony Kahn. I mean I like him but improve your booking [On a quick side note how can TK have nothing creative for Miro to do? He is a massive star and this would be a good time to actually put him in the main event picture, you know I could understand at the beginning of him not instantly being inserted into  the main event picture, to get away from all ex-WWE wrestlers are taking over the main event picture, but now I don't see why in 2023 you should be up and around there,  but at minimum you should be on TV] and on top of that on one hand yes I have said I don't like too many titles, but on the other hand I have also said TK can and should rotate his champions around so when they appear on screen and on a show they still feel like a champion and when I say rotate I mean maybe give them a week or two off so they can be rested and still maintain the special champion feel, but at the moment he is having too many champions on-screen and unless you are FTR at this moment in time or one individual holding multiple championships bit singles or tag this is fine, but other than that it does take a little prestige off the championships and just to cover my back pay-per-views you can shake things up so if you were going to have quite a few other pay-per-view or their smaller pay-per-view calibre events now and again this is fine. I know I am going to contradict myself but there is only one more championship he should consider and I can hear people rolling their eyes at the possibility of another championship within this promotion, but you're going to say fair enough after I have said it and it makes logical sense; Women's AEW Tag Team Championships as this wrestling promotion was founded on tag team wrestling I am up for that.

Full disclosure; I know nothing about this individual, all I know is basically this individual could change the fortunes of AEW; AEW have hired Mansuy; as I have recently found out today he was meant to take over from Kevin Dunn though yes in a way he is an ex-WWE guy and he is a big signing for AEW and just to finish off I have nothing but respect for William Regal so as long as he is still with us and in wrestling all is good with me, but I find it interesting yet sad that there are some within the AEW talent that will not learn from the old guard of wrestling [Basically confirmed by Brian Pillman Jr. on social media, when I say basically I mean I am paraphrasing here he didn't mention any specifics, but when he had the opportunity to learn he took it like the others did as well.] If I was a wrestler I would be learning as much as I could from them, the only thing I wouldn't learn is the flying side of wrestling give me an elbow drop or a leg drop or a big splash, I am not a flying guy, I would be a very much ground and pound wrestler. But in turn this gives some credibility to what CM Punk was saying in that infamous media scrum after AEW All Out this year.
