So this might be the reason Vince left when he did. He was using company money and not reporting it, meaning EVERY SINGLE WWE Earnings report for at least the last 3 years was a lie to its investors. They're about to get sued from quite a few angles. Funny that Dave Meltzer suggested that they are lying about their profits and Bruce Prichard and others freaked out, he was 100% correct. The stock price is jumping however, why? Most big investors feel they will sell the company soon rather than deal with dozens of lawsuits from angry investors. Yeah fair play, Melty called this one and took loads of heat for it.

Oh dear. Was clear Vince did something - this is pretty bad.
On the positive side, HHH will run creative. I'm excited to see which of the AEW talents are interested in going back. Cole seems likely. Think Gargano may re-sign (know he isn't AEW but still). Even someone like Mox or Danielson in time.

I assume he’ll be watching closely now before deciding on where his future is. Proof of the pudding is in the eating. I don’t expect the product to just turn 180 instantly, but it has to improve as it literally could not get any worse.

The company is in the mud. The modern product outside Cena, Lesnar and arguably Roman has zero star power. The two lads they’re pushing to the moon are alleged sex pests and the only girl who had any clout outside the bubble in Sasha Banks peaced out! Literally all they’re good for now is their tape library.

SummerSlam was brilliant. Was not remotely hyped going in to Brock vs. Roman, but it was one of the most entertaining matches I've ever seen. Highly recommend people watch it, ideally without spoilers.

AEW went from having no Omega, Punk and Danielson, to having all 3 back at the same time. Could be on for a GOAT run until the end of the year. Especially if the lads who stepped up in their absence keep it up too.

Have never seen Kenny wrestle as I only started watching AEW at Christmas-time. Have to say his return fell a bit flat for me. Good match but didn't feel very dramatic or befitting of the guy who everyone says is arguably the best wrestler in the world today. It's telling that, after he came back, all anyone was talking about was Punk being a prick.

Not a big Kenny fan myself. He’s evidently a brilliant wrestler, but he’s always come off looking like a massive dork character wise.
Having said that, I’m suddenly more enthused about the business at the minute. WWE has been gradually improving since Vince went to the dance and Dynamite is usually really solid.

Watch this (there's a YouTube link there that I've just hyperlinked to avoid spoilers) after you've watched All Out. It is fucking brutal, hilariously painful to watch. And look at Tony's face throughout... I honestly think the person speaking should be fired, or at least severely punished on Dynamite.

This is what professional wrestling is. Loads of egos crammed together, unable to coexist. Big happy family is boring. And anyone calling out the EVP’s is fine with me as they’re a gang of fucking nerds.

There's probably only been 10 wrestlers in history who aren't dorks. PS: I'd much rather watch the EVPs over that overrated goof, Punk, anyday.

Reading it all unfold has been really fun. If they can’t all put it behind them enough to draw a load of money from it then do any of them truly belong in the circus of pro wrestling?

All the noise points to MMA Philip being fired, today.
