One day after losing Terry Funk, we have received the news that Bray Wyatt has passed away as well. RIP. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&a...

Wow, two wrestler deaths back-to-back.

RIP Terry Funk and Bray Wyatt. Sucks that 2/3 of the original Wyatt family is gone.

@KryptoniteKrunch That’s right I did not even think about how 2/3 of the Wyatt Family is gone. That’s too bad.

Bray Wyatt was a mastermind when it came to sports entertainment. Definitely a career cut too short. He is this generations Eddie Guerrero. May he rest in piece now. Pretty sure he will be added to the WWE Hall of Fame next year.

Wow..I didn't realize he's been having health issues.

@KryptoniteKrunch @Themagusx1 Braun Stroman is still alive, he's been out due to neck surgery. And Erik pops up from time ti time in the indies.

Well CM Punk was fired by AEW….I wonder what Happens next. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10088119-cm-punks-contrac...

Ah wrestling, where their stars combine the alpha male egos of competitive athletes with the prima donna self importance of show business.

I blame AEW, Attitude era WWF rasslin’ always caught theses back stage brawls on tv yet this is the second time Punk got into a fight and it wasn’t filmed!

I don’t think it’s as impossible for him to return to WWE as some think but it is very unlikely. A few odd dates in New Japan might appeal to him to take back narrative control of his career (I doubt it would be the Kenta GTS match though) but he’d probably want a hard break away from rasslin’ for a good while.

At least I can say I was there for his last match at Wembley!

I honestly think CM Punk is done with wrestling now. I mean I don't see him going back to WWE and obviously he just burned that bridge with AEW. I guess he could go to Impact but after the problems he's caused in WWE and now AEW I don't think Impact would be that stupid to sign him to a full contract. I can see him doing a one off thing but I don't think he would do a long term contract anymore.

Of.course you never know if someone is stupid enough to give him a bunch of money.....

@Tasuki I don’t think it’s likely but I think you’re off about the relationship with WWE. He’s already gone back their once to work on that WWE talkshow, a few months ago he went backstage at a WWE show where he had pleasant conversations with Miz and Trips who he traditionally had beef with plus he has a good relationship with Dana White who is part of the UFC-WWE mega company now.

Vince likes money, he doesn’t give a toss about grudges as long as he can milk someone for a big pay off. With how giddy WWE were with signing Cody as a middle finger to AEW I could see him doing a Goldberg type deal where he puts over Reigns in the main event of ‘mania and a couple of bloody money Dubai shows.

Not to defend Punk but just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t out to get you sums it up nicely, there were some in the locker room who didn’t like him before he even came in but instead of making sure personal rubbish didn’t get in the way he acted like silly billy and ruined it all. It’s funny for someone who wants to handle stuff like a manly alpha male man who fights problems out he picked The Young Bucks and Jack Perry who aren’t exactly real life killers. Lol

The real shame of this is AEW does the biggest legit wrestling show of all time and no one cares because of gossipy wrestling backstage drama. I’m looking forward to seeing The Darkside Of The Ring episode on All In!

So it's the end of an era. Today the sale of WWE is complete, and the name of the owner isn't McMahon. I am quite honestly surprised that Shane or Stephanie didn't want it.

Bloody hell Toni Storm’s new tragic noir star turn is great. I just want to watch her throw shoes at people.

She doesn’t need the title but AEW needs to start backing their women’s division and best way to do that is with non-title rivalries (like with Britt before she got the belt) and with Toni this hot at the moment they should be throwing tv time at her.

So even though WWE is now owned by someone else they are still doing the same stuff that doesn't make sense. So today ESPN announced that Jade Cargill is officially signed with WWE and she is getting a main roster salary yet she's at the proformance center. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed Jade in AEW, yeah her run is basically your Goldberg copycat run and she was rough around the edges regarding her in ring work and it's no surprise that she is starting at the proformancer center, but to be getting paid a main roster salary just after a bunch of established stars like Dolph Ziggler, Mustafa Ali, Dana Brooke, and more got cut doesn't make sense. So they cut Dolph Ziggler but they hire Jade Cargill???

Yeah that makes sense WWE. New owners, same thinking that makes no sense.

So as the rumors were right AEW has just become Rated R.

Tony khan was probably jumping up and down like a little kid when he found out he could have both Edge and Christian. Even though they are both past their prime

@TheBigBlue Really going to.be surprised if they don't do an Adam Copeland/Christian vs The Hardys match at some point.

Well, looks like Sting's final match will be against Flair. AEW has announced that Flair has signed a multi-year deal with them and Flair has said he won't mind taking one more bump. So definitely sounds like that will be Sting's final match. It does make sense given the history between those two.

Flair needs to give it up, even with the smoke and mirrors his last “last” match was painful to watch, he passed out twice and it is a death in the ring waiting to happen.

@jump I agree on that. That's why I can't see this being a good final match for Sting. Again I can understand why they would want to do it, but will it be good. My son is thinking they might do a tag match Sting/Darby vs Andrade/Flair. That way Andrade can carry Flair.
