The biggest disappointment about tonight's #AEWDynamite is that was probably their best episode ever & it couldn't get rewarded with the in-person pops it deserved. Considering the circumstances...wow...what an episode! Bravo @TonyKhan , @CodyRhodes & everyone else!

CHYNA SHOULD BE IN HALL OF FAME, CHYNA SHOULD BE IN HALL OF FAME. #WWE puts her in w/ one of the most iconic groups ever. CHYNA SHOULD BE IN BY HERSELF. SHE SHOULDN'T BE OVERSHADOWED. Some wrestling fans...if you gave them a $100 bill they complain they wanted 5, $20 bills.

So what I'm picking up is Regal done w/ AEW, back to WWE soon. Close w/ HHH but also his wisdom & coaching not appreciated/received the way you would think by some in AEW locker room who feel they have 6-figure multi year deals & Regal's advice is behind times or beneath them.

You wanna know why adding Charlotte works? 1, Becky & Ronda are babyfaces....Charlotte, inserted by Vince, adds true heel to the mix. 2, She has name value, adds to the marquee. 3, Those 3 women provide more potential to the match, spots, for the FIRST EVER to main event Mania.

Brock Lesnar just abruptly retired from MMA. This, not long after revealing in a public appearance he keeps his contracts w/ both UFC & #WWE short to work & make $ from both. IN MY OPINION...this decision is fueled by some new contract Vince has offered.
