Perhaps the funniest side fall out of the whole CM Punk saga was Eric Bischoff spending time to tell us how he'd handle CM Punk. How terrible Punk was and how he'd send him packing etc etc. It was funny when you consider....
- Bischoff would sign Hulk Hogan and then sign all his buddies at one point into the company. Like Brutus Beefcake , Jim Duggan , John Tenta , etc. Some talent was pushed out like Steve Austin and Mick Foley to make room for these buddies.
- Would hand Hogan the creative control card. Where he was famous for saying "That doesn't work for me , brother" on ideas he didn't like. This creative control deal became worse as time went on.
- Bischoff became such an egomaniac himself he put himself on TV more as a heel then. His ego ran so out of control (Jericho detailed it once) where Bischoff would give himself and friends more TV time. The "Jay Leno" angle is one where he saw the quarter breakdowns of how bad it did in ratings and would continue running them for that reason.
- He would hand big contracts to Hogan , Hall and Nash as a whole. Nash and Hall literally joked about getting more money from him as Bischoff got "worked" during the fake Diesel and Razor deal. They thought both men were leaving so they were handed even more money approved by him.
Hogan's contract was shown online from WCW then and it was insane to see. All approved by Eric Bischoff because he was friends with him.
- Hall's behavior for awhile behind the scenes was allowed to continue as Bischoff really didn't step in much at all to punish him. In fact I don't think he ever did any suspension or push for treatment then for Hall. Instead he ran a awful TV angle on his issues.
The point of this is ...Eric Bischoff can't sit there and proclaim how awful Punk is and how stupid Tony Khan is to allow Punk to stay in the company. Because Eric himself did an even bigger , worse situation than Khan. He's just ignoring his past to admit that he let his friendships with talent take over too a big degree.

Sabu is so hardcore ....he once got shot in the face !
The incident spurred Sabu to approach his uncle (The Sheik) to train him. But his uncle as he said made him "earn" the right to get that training.

wow Female Roman Reigns (Bianca) actually lost. Rumor is she and the Street Profits are turning heel soon, so I guess her loss will begin the process.
And so ends the BloodLine....Jimmy Uso to impact??? Only time will tell...
I saw Night of Champions at my local comic shop this afternoon. Sadly, I wasn't overly impressed by any of the matches. Sure the fallout behind the Zayn/KO vs. Reigns and the afterthought sidekick was interesting.
But I had hoped for more from the Rhea Ripley / Natalya match and that was such an afterthought match that you wonder why they bothered.

Well, not sure how to make it more clear than Vince and Hunter are petty?
And that they suddenly care about AEW enough to start erasing people from their history?
And What LBO said. vvv
Agent said Roosh went into business for himself.
So did Taz.
"Always listen to the crazy scientist with a weird van or armful of blueprints and diagrams." -- Vibranium
Missed the og broadcast except for the main event. So watching the replay i'd say the main event was the motn. Can't top the bloodline. Cody and Brock did the damn thing.
Trish is in great shape. Trail blazing again proving age is just a number. For the women that's big. That being said Natalya def deserves better at this point. Bianca vs Asuka was lack luster. They've both had better showings. I feel like Asuka spent the whole match pulling Bianca's hair, like wtf? Asuka new champ.
So Seth is the new Champ that makes sense. Good match between him and AJ, a little long tho but good.
I listened to Jim Cornette's take on it.
- If this was back 30-40 years ago Rush would have gotten his ass beaten backstage by the guy he did this too. That it wouldn't have been accepted.
- Rush took a literal sh-t on Khan and AEW by hurting his 1 main event star heading into a PPV ahead. Jungle Boy was made to look weak.
- Said that the moment Rush walked backstage Tony should have fired him on the spot for this.

Well he was there in the 70s and 80s. Its not like this hasn't happened before as Inoki once bear the sh-t out of the Great Antonio for his actions in a match. Inoki didn't wait til they got backstage though....he did it right there.
The older guys didn't take this. As I mentioned way back Dutch Mantell told as a young guy he didn't realize he was gonna hurt someone with an arm drag and the veteran hauled off and smacked him.
Rush should thank the gods he isn't in that era.
