Do you feel that what WWE is doing with helping TNA is simply a "screw you" to AEW? I personally feel that WWE wouldn't give a crap about "helping" TNA if AEW wasn't around. To me it seems WWE is almost ok with hurting the wrestling world but connected to them if it helps WWE make money and control talent cost.
I think it's a competitive move. Everything they do is motivated by how they can control elements of the industry. I don't believe they are doing it for the health of the industry. The overall health of wrestling is not important to them, and hasn't been. I know a lot of people won't want to hear that, but I don't think that off the record many people in the highest spots would even dispute that.
Shouldn’t Hologram be getting a title shot of some sort, given his record? Heard any plans for that?
Yes. We discuss that every week on our AEW Dynamite post-show. If a person has been undefeated for over a year, they should probably be competing for a title. Or there needs to be a good explanation as to why they aren't. It's been a puzzling element.
Hey Sean, what’s Giovanni Vinci been up to lately? Any updates
If I were to guess, I would say that Vinci has to figure out his visa situation. His non compete was up in May and he's not wrestled since then, and I don't believe he's announced for anything. He's got great connections overseas, but hasn't been revealed to have done anything. He was such a highly touted prospect, and got a lot of comparisons to Claudio Castagnoli.

Wwe couldnt care less about tna and only marginally more for aaa. All they are to them is a means to try and get at their obsession, which is AEW. Even Vince wasnt this sad and petty. Petty h and uncle mick though ... 2 bitter men. Everything they do pretty much is to counter programme/interfere with/hurt Aew and therefore the wider industry. One of the many reasons i cant stand that company.

2025-08-20 09:50:35 +0000 UTCThe reason Hologram hasn't a title shot is simple - he's great fun, but let's be honest - could he really be believed to beat Okada? Fletcher? No. Maybe when Garcia or Perry had the TNT belt, but not now. And they don't want to ruin his win/loss record, which is actually kinda cool...they don't need a title shot to enjoy that record listing, do they? Keep him as he is, forget the title shot unless TK comes up with a Lucha specific belt he can challenge for, and given the number of Mexican stars they're working with, they could use something like that, but they'd need to get rid of a couple other belts first...just my observations...heh heh
