Raw wasn't that great AJ vs JD was really the only thing that was interesting to me.

Judgment Day are real busy. They are juggling three feuds at once.
New Japan said that the TV title is for the young talent but where are they?
The last company I remember where the owner gave front office roles to the talent was ECW. Dreamer , Douglas and Bubba all had front office roles doing things for ECW.
The ECW guys had Backstage clashes at times but for the most part the ECW guys pulled together. They were the underdogs etc. I think AEW is missing that deal where the guys pull for each other as underdogs.

So in a recent shoot interview Sandman revealed what he earned in WCW. Prepare to be amazed at this craziness....
- Sandman was having issues with Paul E in 1998. So he decided to leave with that.
- He went down to Atlanta and met with Bischoff. The entire thing took a couple of minutes to do.
Sandman was wanting $300,000+ a year. Bischoff offered him $250,000 a year and told him that Turner would need to approve over that. Sandman didn't know if he was lying or not but he was offered a $10,000 signing bonus. So he accepted the 3 year deal.
- Then to add to this comedy....he didn't make it to TV til January after signing in September 1998. He wouldn't be wrestling til February !
So for 4-5 months he set at home earning $5,000 a week. Which he enjoyed.

Just an opinion, but I didn't think WWE's return for Bray Wyatt was done as well as it could have been. It felt flat. The QR code thing was kind of neat, but...I don't relate QR codes or technology in general to any aspect of Wyatt's characters. The stuttered reveals of the Playhouse characters, the slow eventual showing of Bray's face....kind of killed the pop.
Having been at AEW Grand Slam, and if I were to compare "pops"...Saraya's pop was insanely loud. I know it can't be a an apples-to-apples comparison, as one was unexpected and one was known ahead of time. But seems Bray's reveal could really have been a sharper/louder situation.

Grant Morrison: “Adults...struggle desperately with fiction, demanding constantly that it conform to the rules of everyday life. Adults foolishly demand to know how Superman can possibly fly, or how Batman can possibly run a multibillion-dollar business empire during the day and fight crime at night, when the answer is obvious even to the smallest child: because it's not real.”
Renee Paquette was just announced full time AEW.
DA MELTZ just said this morning his AEW sources "100% confirmed she will not work for them ever."
