@cm0102legends For your scenario, I reckon the ref stops the game as soon as the advantage is over to send the guy off.

If on that 2nd foul there was advantage and the ref played on and the ball stays in play and then he goes scores a goal. Does he then get sent off after the goal?

Meanwhile in Bolivia, a defender was SENT OFF after receiving TWO YELLOW CARDS in the SAME play. 😳⛔️ Unbelievable scenes. 😅

@davemeltzerWON Dave, AEW have 10 different world champions in their lineage now. Do you think they should introduce the old IWGP video roll of all the former champions? I think it adds pageantry to the title matches, but they go out of their way to avoid showing Punk on-screen.

@ProWMoments I got through the show in about 2 hours by skipping all the downtime.
English
The lack of creativity for these breaks is so stark.
Interview present and past wrestlers and ask them opinions on the upcoming match - make it mean something.
It’s so lazy & unsatisfying.
It’s an infomercial, not a wrestling show

@JCup2013 I'm convinced there's something ominous going behind the scenes in WWE that are setting the hares running and causing all this chaos on screen and off. Just unimaginable own goals being scored by what is normally a corporately slick machine.
English
I could not have asked for a better WrestleMania news cycle. Disastrous isn’t even a strong enough word for it.
Incredible content for a new Thoughts piece I to have up on Monday, if not sooner

I will not be covering #WrestleMania for ESPN. WWE denied my credentials and blocked my access. Neither I nor ESPN has been told why. You can speculate on the reasons, but if you want answers, ask WWE. Let me know what they tell you. ~FIN~

Triple H says fans are talking about Pat McAfee and that’s a good thing: “The thing is, talk is good. People are talking and that is a good thing. Pat, love him or hate him, Pat makes people talk. And I think that’s what’s important here is people are talking.” (@FirstTake)

"When you say [Darby's] the right guy, I completely disagree. As far as doing a title change on a Wednesday TV, that's fine. To me the World Champion should be the top guy generally but certainly top 3 or 4 in your company... and he's not." - Dave Meltzer youtu.be/G-PZcK4NLqU?si…

@JCup2013 Such a revealing quote; shows a lack of understanding of both wrestling and sport.
Imagine assuming a sports team losing their star player to injury shrugging it off because they have another just like them on the bench.
English
The other thing about this: you HAVE Cody, Roman, Punk, Seth, Gunther, Iyo, etc. and THIS is still the best you could do.
Such a fraud

“The other thing about our business is unlike a sport, and as bad as it is, if you lose your quarterback, if you lose your first string offensive lineman, if you lose your star center or star guard in the NBA, you have a second string guy to back him up and you hope that those second string guys are pretty good. There is no backup Cody Rhodes. There is no backup Randy Orton. There is no backup Roman Reigns. There is no backup CM Punk.” - Triple H (Interview w/ Joe Tessitore)

@IrishMcNeilBC Ibushi already kicked out of it in DDT. And MJF's was like a 12 count, but he should absolutely boast about it.

Surely we are not counting that kick out from MJF as 1st person to ever kick out of One Winged Angel?! #AEWDynasty

@ProWMoments Cody's a great performer but the pure blue eye gimmick has a shelf life. He's had the same act since 2019.
Punk has stomached a load of shit in WWE. He's neutered. In AEW he couldn't abide a mild Jungle Boy diss. In WWE he's apologising to Saudi Arabia.
English
@ChristophBourke Tbf to Cody, I thought he did a pretty good job with an absolute shit sandwich the last two weeks.
If you think about what they’ve done to him since WrestleMania two years ago it’s criminal.
Re Punk, whether be knew what was going to be said or not his fuse will be buzzing
English
Can’t wait for Brawl Out II….
Pretty on the money on Punk, but prob not a great idea to call one of the main eventers out of shape or say a night is missable.
Did it make anyone really want to buy a ticket, sign up to ESPN or Netflix or see a match more?

@CromulentFellow Normally a company death spirals due to scary drops in attendances or viewers. WWE have cooled mildly and are at panic stations. Are they really that fragile? Problem is, if profits do fall, there will be shareholders to answer to.
English
@CromulentFellow Reading social queues is not a skill some wrestling fans have, that's the problem.
I just don't treat wrestlers, who I don't know, like they're friends. Not a fan of the hanging arm either tbqh.
English
Literally match their energies and their cues.
There's wrestlers who will put an arm around me, I'll do the same back.
I've had pictures with wrestlers where it looks like I have my arm around them, but not making any physical contact.
Don't be fucking creepy, dudes.
Minerva@minnieportable
Always ask a wrestler if its okay to hug them, don't just go and hug them. I just saw an awkward ass video and oof.
English
@davemeltzerWON No wrestling promotion are always at their peak.
English
I think you're right to a degree. Difference is also they were running multiple times a year in the same venue rather than once a year as WWE does in most of its markets (except the biggest markets). But they were also very much audience friendly because they could have raised prices higher at their peak. Maybe they also thought they weren't always going to be peak.
Verb Abrams ⚖️📷🖊️@VerbAbrams
PWG would have sold out $220 tickets too if “price structure has always been the perception of what the market will be." Instead they acted like humans who apparently didn't think rinsing their audience, or pricing them out, was laudable.
