Me and my buddies have had a long running joke of pretending to be Gronk when we watched Patriots games by saying things like "GRONK BIG FOOTBALL GOOD!"

His WWE appearance makes our impersonations seem accurate.

AEW's Jimmy Havoc v. Cody match kind of made me feel two things.

Jimmy Havoc has done nothing for me before, but I kind of like his style now where he just does nasty stuff and tries to really hurt his opponent. He grew on me in this match, but he seems to go a little bit slow for my tastes.

But I think AEW really screwed up with Cody in the last PPV. I really don't care about him after he didn't just try to absolutely murder MJF during their match and got beat again, plus his awful neck tattoo is just ew. If Cody had really tried to kill this man dead I would've probably still been really into him, but now he's kind of lost a lot of what made him special.

Maybe that changes if he has an amazing promo or program, but I'm kinda pulling for Jake the Snake and Lance Archer to kill Cody now.

Not really, not with the way the Dark Order was presented up until this point.

Honestly I hope it's actually a subtle storyline where it's clear he has no intention of leading a cult and is just an asshole manipulating a bunch of morons to do his bidding.

Like the Leader from The Simpsons.

Honestly, I didn't even make the connection until after.

And let's be real: Vince McMahon's real life persona is basically an outrageous character in and of itself. So it's not a bad inspiration to draw from!

I mean, Vince himself was on-record as saying that, as long as your #2, it's good business to fire shots at #1 as much as possible because it keeps you in the conversation with them.

I'd rather Brodie Lee be his own character than a spoof, yes.

Like a man with that type of beard being a germaphobe makes zero sense. I've literally had a beard like that and it's the opposite of sanitary.

Also I really think that guys like Cody, the Bucks, and Omega are booking themselves in a way that is helping make other performers stars. As much as it sucks that Cody killed off all his heat, in a way it was to help guys like Moxley and MJF get over. And the Bucks being terrible friends has gotten Hangman Page suuuuuuper over.

From Dave

The WrestleMania card has also changed. Names are being kept confidential because so few know, but its been confirmed that multiple people on the card either said they were sick, which meant instantly being pulled off all shows this week, there were others who did not feel sick but had fevers above 100.4, which was the WWEs cut-off point of not allowing people to work, and others who, on their own, said they didnt feel comfortable flying in. Both AEW and WWE had told people that if they dont want to come, they dont have to come and that the decisions made now wont be held against them when it comes to future booking."

This seems like a weird angle to attack WWE on. Pretty sure anyone, not just Roman, could request not to work and WWE would be okay with it. Same is probably going on with AEW.
