I'll give Mr McMahon credit, he's a hustling carny son of a gun so he'll try anything to make a profit, no matter how crazy it is lol

That's what's up breh good for you, Nothing wrong with making a honest dollar, lol 😂 right WWE did work with what they had but a lot of their movies are bargain bin straight to DVD

The only thing that's going to do numbers is a Vince documentary/bio if it ever gets made(that I can think of)
The Rise & Fall of Vince McMahon, exclusively on Peacock. :wow:

No big loss here but HOB is nothing but Julia and Brody now...

Buddy Matthews may be done with AEW for a while, or at least on his way out, sources familiar with the situation tell Fightful.

After this week's AEW Rampage Grand Slam, Fightful was informed that the Great Muta spot was a way to write Buddy Matthews off television for the time being. We weren't given context as to whether or not Matthews was being released, but had heard numerous times over the previous couple of months that he'd expressed dissatisfaction regarding his situation. Specifics of that aren't yet known.

One source contacted Fightful after the New York City tapings and said they believed it was Buddy's "last night," but that hasn't been confirmed.

This weekend at Fight Life Pro Wrestling, Buddy told the audience “Unfortunately, tonight, I’m going to be the bearer of some unfortunate news. As everyone knows, the House of Black has had some issues lately. As all the members of the house, I speak beyond the wall, we want to thank you all for being members of the house. Unfortunately, I, like some of the other members, need to go away for a while. I need to recalibrate. I need to figure out some things. As my brother Malakai once said, this isn’t goodbye, this is see you later.”

House of Black's Malakai Black is also effectively done with AEW, with sources indicating that he's unable to wrestle for WWE for "quite some time."

Fightful has reached out to Buddy Matthews several times over the last couple of months to follow up on the rumors.

Losing the Vanilla Gearhead may as well be addition by subtraction; never understood why they signed him in the first place. Matthews had an Okada match where Okada let him take 80% of it, and it was the dullest Okada match I may have ever seen. That alone should have steered TK away from him, regardless of how close he and Malakai are. He's never cut an interesting promo or constructed an interesting character either, so there's no value to be found there as well.

Like Malakai, he clearly just wants to go back to WWE and be with his girl, because he damn sure isn't going to end up in a much better spot on that roster.

At least Malakai can be interesting. Buddy Matthews is just another wrestler who will likely be living on Main Event with nothing creatively in place for him. If not for Rhea he probably ends up in Impact, on the Indies, or back home in Australia.
