    Probably for the best. His AEW run was so stop & go that it felt like driving on the 405.

    No idea whose fault it is that he couldn’t stay on TV consistently, or even if it’s really anybody’s fault when it comes down to it, but maybe a change of scenery will do him good. And hey, WWE is a much better place now than when he left, so maybe they’ll pick him up and he’ll do well there.

    The Redeemer was good stuff, everything else… not so good. I hate he fizzled out like this but hopefully he’s in a good mental place and is happy whatever he ends up doing next as I don’t know that will be wrestling, he spent most of his AEW time injured or trying to get hired for TV shows.

      Yeah if nothing else leaving AEW will be a fresh change which after splitting from CJ, losing their home in a flood, and whatever injuries he had will probably be helpful.

            :(

            Sad hot flexible wife noises

            Aw, that’s for some reason making more sad than other wrestling couples splitting would. I really thought they were going to make it…

            It’s not AS heartbreaking as Macho Man and Elizabeth splitting up…but it’s up there. Elizabeth really messes with me. I know it was a TV character, but she really did seem like the sweet girl next door, type. The kind who never causes drama, and just loves life…and then she dropped Savage to be with…LEX LUGER??? The fell into drugs, and that cost her her own life.

            Swear to god…CJ better not end up with someone like Logan Paul…I know you guys have no frame of reference, but people from Westlake are generally THE WORST.

              It’s probably 10000% conjecture but there was rumours months back of her being seen hanging around more than once with Damien Priest, so she seems to have better taste than Logan for now.

      That’s the thing about wrestling though. There’s always something for everyone.

      Except for Aldo Montoya. Seriously, who was that gimmick for??? Who was like “I want to cheer for a guy with a jock strap on his face”???

      My point is, Rusev/Miro is great, and has always been great. But I’m sure you’ll like someone I think is hot garbage. So it all works out.

      I’m seeing some people say All In was a desprate and terrible show. I thought it was the best one AEW’s ever done.
