    Well, AEW just got another big name last night. Matt Hardy joined Dean Ambrose, Neville, and Y2J as former WWE wrestlers in it. It could become another WCW if they keep signing such big names. Their "limited crowd" was wrestlers watching the matches, but even that crowd noise was better than Raw with no crowd noise.
    Yeah, I saw the clip. Looks like his Broken/Woken gimmick is back as well. I didn't follow the Hardys in their last IMPACT run so I never really got into the gimmick. It is a proven moneymaker though so I hope Rhodes lets him run wild with it.

    I saw Matt wrestle last year, he's very talented. Supposed to be a tag match with Bray Wyatt, but he got in a shoot car accident on his way to the airport so they re-booked it as a handicap match. Kinda weird seeing one guy with the tag belt walking down to the ring.

      I hope AEW can become big. The Attitude Era was partly so good because WCW and WWE kept driving each other to do better with their competition. Interesting is that D-Generation X and nWo were both formed by members of "The Cliqe" as two of the most popular stables in each.

        Same here. If both companies can push each other like they did in the mid-late 1990s, wrestling would become quite popular again.

          I never got into wrestling, but I'm glad you guys enjoy it. I think it's good to have something to get our minds off of the coronavirus pandemic for awhile. I've been watching comedy shows and movies. The old saying, "laughter is the best medicine" works for me.

            I found another sport that's still being played. If you like soccer, Australian A League games are being played in empty stadiums and they're streamed on ESPN+.

                Nevermind, they're postponing the season as of today.

                    I'm thankful we have it, and we may not have it for much longer.

                          I'm not one to make fun of names, but you'd have me believe someone really named their kid "Richard Pound" without considering the consequences? Inconceivable.

                              I think that they were inspired when Richard Trickle, the NASCAR driver, was born.

                                Don't forget Richard Petty too. The King. Speaking of NASCAR, yesterday in lue of their race they had the virtual race on FS1 with real drivers. Could more sports do that too?
