What a fucking guy, also one of my favorite Punk AEW matches and let the record show Eddie didn't fight anyone backstage when he did the job

True... I think those two are a great example for how different people can be, even though you'd think they should have way more in common. While with Eddie you can just see, hear and heck... feel that he's just grateful for what he has and for the road he took, while with Punk it always kinda felt like he thinks he's owed something and that he never got what he "deserved".

To an extent but Eddie can be a bitter fuck too, I think he just fights it lol

Fair point. I mean anyone can be bitter about things... but going off these last 3-4 years it's like that with these two.

I had 2 coworkers (both have retired) who were so alike that they ended up just hating each other to the point where they couldn't be in the same aisle together. Sometimes similar personalities just clash.

Tony Khan Planning AEW Fairway To Heaven Golf Tournament In 2027 To Accompany Fairway To Hell Wrestling Show

AEW President Tony Khan has the idea in mind to present the AEW Fairway to Heaven golf tournament in 2027.

“With the Fairway to Hell wrestling show, next year, I wanna have in conjunction — and this is my plan — the Fairway to Heaven golf tournament. I think if we have some wrestlers out there… We can get out there. I love playing golf and I don’t get much time for it so if I can find a way to make it a wrestling event, that makes it a business expense and it’s a good reason to get out on the golf course.”

MJF says Malakai Black was the biggest offender of using AEW as a stepping stone to go back to WWE.

"I think it's pretty obvious (the biggest offender) is Malakai Black. I don't know the guy on a personal level. Do I think he's a bad guy? No. Do I think he was a mark for wanting to have his 'Mania moment', yeah, and there were a couple of guys like that, and they got weeded out. Then they went over there and some found out the grass isn't greener. And some of them did, for them the grass was greener, but I'd say a majority that were like 'I'm gonna use AEW to go back to WWE', I think you're gonna see a lot of those guys ask for a 50% pay cut from the office, or just get released. It's unfortunate because if you show up to our company and work hard, there's really no need to burn bridges. I'm not sh*ting on him, I'm just simply telling you what I was told by a majority of the locker room about this specific individual. So as a team captain, and a leader, and someone that has been part of this company since day one, I don't want to deal with guys that don't want to be team players. F*ck off, go elsewhere. Or, f*cking prove me wrong. I would love to be proved wrong."
