Yeah me neither - my interest waned on the Bucks in the last couple years, they just do spotfests and I'm finding those are becoming a bit cringey to watch. Too many people standing around and waiting for the next thing to happen. Maybe I'll get back into that sometime, but I'm finding the actual wrestling combined with some aerial athleticism and a good back and forth is more my thing.
Now, that Yuta / Garcia match tonight - that was fun. More of that please!

I've never been much into the Bucks, they're just spot machines, that couldn't tell a story in the ring if they tried. I find that boring eventually.
Give me FTR any day of the week. Even the Uso's as a modern day tag team.
But I do agree with Cornette on the Bucks and his classification of them as a trampoline act.

so reading the story, the Bucks tried to kick the door down, or did kick the door down, Punk was in the room with Steel's wife who was watching the dog. Omega was with the Bucks, so its now a 3-1 situation with a definately hey we as executives want to chat about this whole thing over a nice cup of tee. Only to have Punk and Steel snap.
This is a bad situation made worse and felt like a gang up.
So yeah, you can go after Punk for throwing the first punch but they've rightfully suspended the Bucks and Omega and it should be for a good length of time, not like a Scott Hall suspension where WCW sent him home with pay.
That's Punk's side of the story. The Bucks' side of the story has them knocking on the door and Punk immediately throwing hands.
Considering Punk had basically just finished saying "If you have problem with me, come find me," I don't think it was unreasonable for The Elite to go to his locker room if they were just looking to talk, but that's a pretty big IF.
The hilarious aspect is that both sides have Omega as being the calm one, with some saying he was trying to look after Punk's dog, before getting attacked by Steele.

It is still unreasonable. They're executives in the company. You don't get to deal with things like you're still one of the boys. This wasn't a situation that was getting solved in a dressing room. This one was for the board room.
Doing it well Tony Kahn and all the reporters were still in the press conference is the issue.
If you're the Young Bucks you have to assume it could get heated and use your head. Either wait until Tony Kahn is done and talk with him first, or handle it before Dynamite on Wednesday.
I wouldn't doubt CM Punk threw the first punch. But I have no doubt that the Young Bucks stormed in there yelling and threatening Punk, and it was what caused all the others to run in to try to calm down the situation.
You have to hold executives to a higher standard. Its pretty simple. Punk acted like an idiot at the press conference, the Bucks acted like idiots afterwards.
It doesn't matter Punk has a torn tricep and has to probably get surgury and is out 8 months.
I doubt he comes back.
I expect that AEW continues to pay him to sit at home and to avoid a dangerous workplace lawsuit.

Yeah, and I got my parents tickets, too. My parents often worked a lot during the week growing up, but we did have a big satellite dish during the day so we would watch Nitro on TNT and then RAW on USA West. Wrestling on Monday Nights was one of the simple things we did together growing up. Haven't watched WWE lately so not sure who is who, but am a Kevin Owens and Rollins fan so I hope they are there.

I'm pretty sure they advertised Owens as being there on RAW last night. There's a good chance Rollins will be there too. Riddle will probably interfere in his match with Lashley next week and Rollins will maybe give him his rematch in Edmonton.
I may go to Smackdown in Winnipeg if tickets become available. I would have got a ticket when they were originally supposed to be there in January but I wasn't comfortable being around large crowds then so I skipped it. Right now tickets on Stubhub are stupid and I'm not that desperate.
My nephew and I are going. We went to a house show a few years back and it's a shared interest. I haven't been to a Raw or Smackdown in almost 20 years and he's never been to one, so it should be fun.
So Velveteen Dream gets arrested a couple of times in a short period of time. EC3 accuses him of setting up his phone at EC3's house to film people whipping out their swantzes to take a pee.
Dream then goes on social media and calls EC2 a massive coke head and drug user.
Just bizarre stuff.

I've only gone to house shows too. So, this will be exciting. I'm paying more attention now that Triple H is running creative.

Yeah, I've always generally followed wrestling (WWE and AEW) and had gatherings with friends for Wrestlemania and such. But, my WWE interest has definitely been revitalized with Triple H running creative. It worked out well having the show rescheduled from January to September. I think we are going to get a much better show then we might have otherwise.
