"Before I was on AEW, I was coming out to 'Jane' by Jefferson Starship. I just loved it because I love the movie Wet Hot American Summer and I love the way it started with that. When I got to AEW, Jefferson Starship is like, 'No, we're not letting use that for this guy.' Because Tony Khan is who he is, he's like, 'We're going to get another one.' 'You don't have to. I can get a custom one.' 'No, no.' Late one night on the fourth floor of the hotel we were staying at, we're talking about stuff, and he came up with The Pixies. Maybe it was Chuck Taylor. I want to say it was Tony because it's a better answer. I'm pretty sure it was. He suggested The Pixies. He reached out and The Pixies were like, 'Sure, we'll do it.' Then, there was an article on Pitchfork saying, 'This new wrestler is coming out to The Pixies.' Jefferson Starship reached back and said, 'Hey, we'll do something.' Now, I have two very expensive theme songs," he said.

The following is the description of the filing:

Entertainment in the nature of wrestling contests; Entertainment services in the nature of live professional wrestling performances; Entertainment services in the nature of production of professional wrestling programs and events; Entertainment services, namely, production and distribution of ongoing television programs in the field of professional wrestling

Tony getting that Four-shows-a-week money now!

It's fire.

As previously noted, Netflix has released the trailer for the six-part docuseries on Vince McMahon. The trailer makes it clear that although the production began years ago, the sexual misconduct allegations made against McMahon will be included.

During a conversation on Konnan’s “Keepin’ It 100” podcast, Conrad Thompson said he’s heard that the documentary will be a “burial” of McMahon and some people in WWE are not happy about it. Thompson said, “It’s a hit piece they don’t like.” Konnan said, “Yeah, because Bill Simmons is doing it. He does what he wants.”

Thompson continued, “[Simmons] is talking to [David] Shoemaker and [Dave] Meltzer. It’s an absolute double shovel burial.”

Disco Inferno chimed in and said, “I can’t ever pile in on guys like that because I’m in this business because of people like them.” Disco said it bothers him to hear people in the “dirt sheet community” pile on people like Hulk Hogan and Vince McMahon “regardless of the bad things they’ve done.”

Thompson said he’s had to reconcile and like with Chris Benoit, he’s had to separate the artist from the real person. On Vince, Thompson said, “If you read the original report, certainly it was slanted to read a certain way. Either way, it’s hard to read that and not be a little taken aback. Now it’s like okay, not everybody is all good or all bad. He created some real magic for millions of people, myself included. But he wasn’t always a great guy. I think if you go back and look up almost any of our heroes, whether they’re in entertainment, music or whatever, those folks disappoint you. But that doesn’t mean you have to give up enjoying their previous work.”

Thompson said he can understand people who can’t go back and watch things from the past because of people like McMahon being part of that history, etc but it’s not his experience.
