@FraserG I think I would have gone for that, I don't go to many events anyway and I'd definitely wear that football style shirt again! I think I just like the style that merges the American with the british

I had to sit on a bench for a while until that tube crowd dispersed. Glad I did though, I spotted a guy across the way just holding up a Jim Cornette flag, I just had to get a selfie with it! 😂

(I've cropped out the actual selfie part because this forum is too public 😅)

@ralphdibny Fantastic! "Cult of Cornette" 😂

I'm glad you enjoyed it, hoping to be back again next year 🤞

@FraserG same!

@FraserG Those are some great seats sir. I can't wait to wait to see the show myself.

@ralphdibny I can't blame you, as a fellow Cornette fan, I would have done the same thing

@Tasuki 😀🫡

@FraserG Those soccer, excuse me, football in your neck.of the woods lol jerseys are up on the AEW shop and I couldn't resist it.

@Tasuki They do look really good.

@FraserG If they are made as well as the Street Fighter X AEW shirts I got from the AEW shop then I am sure I will enjoy it just as much. I liked the look of it from your picture, and then I saw it pop up on AEW shop.

@ralphdibny I don't know if you get it there, but I believe you can find full episodes of a show called Dark Side of the Ring on Youtube. Its a really well done documentary about wrestling and Jim Cornette is great in that series. Listening to the stories he tells and then explains the history of wrestling so interesting. Definitely a watch for anyone a fan of Cornette.

@Tasuki cheers for the heads up, I've seen the first couple of series of it but I fell off when it became difficult to watch (some sort of streaming service nonsense)

Was really good though!

I've watched tons of his History of Wrestling videos (I think they were called that? And I think they might have been hosted by Sean Oliver?) That's how I first got turned onto him before ending up at clips from his podcast. The fact he kept diaries for all those years is just brilliant, almost made me start doing it but I doubt anyone will be interested in a YouTube series 30 years later detailing my work life 😂

I listened to a few of his reviews of All In. Surprisingly tame! I reckon he must have appreciated how over the whole show was with the fans in the stadium.

All In is on ITV4 at the moment over here. I'm watching it but I feel like they've filtered out a lot of the more insulting chants 😂

Edit: my partner just noticed a Twinkle Toes McFinger Bang sign being held up in the crowd of the Kenny Omega trios match, I had to explain the reference! 😂

Well looks like AEW has fired CM Punk after an altercation with him and Jack Perry last week during All In. Guess Punk can always try Impact Wrestling.

As much as I like Punk as a performer, I have to agree with what Tony did. He made the right call in this situation for sure.

As a performer Punk is one of the best, as a person his ego needs to go. He needs to learn that company's don't need him as much as he needs them.
