Now this is truly crazy.
Virgil probably spent most of his career (especially the more recent half) doing autograph signings and taking photos at wrestling cons & press junkets.
And he still couldn't make 65. I love wrestling but cot-damn, these are NFL numbers on steroids.
Probably had a legit injury just wasn't severe and after the dirt sheets and youtube channels picked it up then why not make something of it. Gives Hanger more heat and further cements him as a heel going forward.
Mercedes and Mina!

Man, I love seeing all these fine-ass sistas breaking into the wrestling biz now.
We've come a long way from only having Miss Jacky and Sherri (yes, she's black to me) to look at.
The injury work makes no sense to me either.
Hangman is already firmly established as a heel and Swerve a babyface.
The injury angle added nothing other than to "swerve" the dirtsheet writers/fans, which is yet another example of AEW catering to a small niche audience.
To WWE fans who would be considered the ACE (face of the company) for the women's division? In AEW it will be Mercedes. In TNA it's Jordynne Grace. In Stardom it's Mayu Iwatani. In ROH it's Athena. Who's the ACE of WWE?
So I'm headed to Greensboro (my hometown) this weekend for AEW Revolution.
Looking forward to seeing Sting's last match, how it's handled, and just the environment of having such a large crowd.
I haven't been to a wrestling show at the Greensboro Coliseum since the late 90s.
I'm going with a couple of lapsed wrestling fans who don't really keep up with wrestling anymore but just want to see Sting and Ric Flair.
I'll be interested to see how much of the show they end up liking as lapsed fans and if they like it enough to keep watching the product moving forward.

If there is such a thing in the WWE, it would be Rhea Ripley right now.
Enjoy yourself! The Bucks, Darby and Sting will put together an excellent match!
Yeah. it really made no sense. I mean, had they waited a couple weeks and had Hangman off Dynamite for a few episodes, the injury angle "could have" maybe made a little sense. Play into the sympathies crowd, etc.... But doing it a week after, made no sense booking/writing wise.
I would consider Becky Lynch (when Charlotte isn't around) to be WWE's women's division ACE.
Rhea Ripley (currently) is arguably the face of the company (ACE of WWE) overall.
I felt like it's been Becky since "The Man" gimmick came about.
I guess we'll find out at Wrestlemania who the company considers to be their top female talent.
However, I feel like Becky's popularity has dipped a bit over the past couple of years while Rhea's popularity has skyrocketed.
WWE pretty much filled an entire stadium this past weekend based on Rhea's name alone.
Who's the current face of the women's division in AEW?
Yeah. Like @EPDC said Rhea is the face of the whole company if not the business right now.
I think Rhea beats Becky at Mania. WWE looks to be wanting to break records and might want Rhea to be the dominant women's champion of all time. Basically erasing the past, doing to Moolah what Roman is doing to Hogan's record.
Charlotte may have the total wins record, but Rhea will be the most dominant woman (champion) of all time if things continue to trend the way they have.
It was Britt Baker but now it's Toni Storm.
Not sure about Rhea being the face of the whole company, that would still be Roman or Cody right now.
She should be in the discussion. Like I said, arguably....
Roman isn't there enough to be the face of the company.
Cody is SUPER OVER, but it's all tied to Roman and his quest.
I just see Rhea as being more of a force than Cody, plus she's still young as fuck. Also, Rhea has a bigger following on Social Media compared to Cody, so her being pushed out there as a face of the company, not just the women's division, makes sense.
At the moment it Rhea, but WWE's longterm women star implant has been Charlotte Flair for about a decade. Some years she doesn't even wrestle or appear on TV until Mania season.
I can see Rhea because she has a massive social media following of people who don't even watch wrestling. She's everything Vince wanted "sports entertainment" to be.
Wait what!?!?!?
Rhea dyed her hair blonde and lost about 30 pounds so she a tall, skinny, supermodel looking type now.
I mean as in connecting with casual and non-fans. Vince wanted a media company not a wrestling promotion.Wait what!?!?!?

Way too many in my opinion. Need that streaming deal.

So Okada is debuting next week on Dynamite. I also heard AEW will be unveiling a brand new set next week. They should use that first Dynamite after "Revolution" as a reset point and consistently make each show good to great going forward. Want to bring in more viewers? Every show needs to be on point from here on out. No more lazy booking and half ass presentation.
Will is apart of the creative team? That's interesting.
Who in the hell? And she from Dallas? Thicker than a bowl of oatmeal.
He's always been a continuity guy with a good memory. Not a lot of folks have that. But that is cool to see.
If any one needs a good laugh. Laugh at Haku laughing at the debut of the Shockmaster. I gotta add, "Swimming for the gimmick." in a real life conversation now.
Just don't kill yourself doing something stupid.
This mfer about to be in a chair next to Lex
If I was TK I would keep Sting around after he retires in a consultant role for the younger talent.
