**World Soxtalk Championship Wrestling Thread VI**
AEW kicked ass last night. Best, most exciting *main* wrestling show I've seen in over a decade. (NXT had some really good takeover ppvs that rival it, but NXT is like minor leagues so tough to gain that same feel) It was really refreshing.

**World Soxtalk Championship Wrestling Thread VI**
What was good about it? Ok, Edge vs. Rollins was good. WWE had Brock/Becky return which Brock and Reigns can have a really nice storyline, but Becky's return was *awful* as much as I love her, it was rushed due to Sasha not being available + probably CM punk causing waves forcing WWE's hand. She clearly wasn't ready to wrestle as they decided to bury Belair. Goldberg is horrible -- the match vs. Lashley was nowhere near as bad as some of his other recent matches, but the bar isn't goldberg matches, the bar is quality wrestling/show. That match still sucked. All the other matches on the card that I haven't named were really, really bad. Some decent wrestling mixed in, but just bland, no storyline, and awful. Big fan of Charlotte and her work, but that match sucked (glad shes the champ tho). Alexa's match was so god awful, I really want to pop like crazy for Bliss and see her succeed, but that match made me feel the opposite. Is it just me or is Shemeaus one of the most boring wrestlers on the planet? Damian priest could win me over, but i'm not enjoying him so far. The tag match with Mysterios was boring. I like Riddle and Randy, and I'm happy that they have the belts, but that match was also pretty boring. First PPV I watched in well over a year, and anyone who was watching it with me decided to sleep/do other things... and I couldn't blame them. On a personal side, having your three main events with Cena (leaving to movies), Goldberg (always terrible, old, going away), and Edge (definitely still capable, but old and question how long he will be working) is a recipe for failure. A) it's too predictable b) their old and slower and c) I can't get behind anyone in the matches as a fan because the storyline is dead.

Owners propose 180m luxury tax, 100m salary floor
Some Facts: - Both sides are trying to win, but there's a good side (the players) and a bad side (the owners). Get with the good side. -Minor leaguers are the most criminally abused workers. Any sort of discussion needs to start with revamping the minor league system. -I would think a Salary floor is a big DUH with what we've seen. Teams tanking so hard and putting sub 50 mil payrolls out there. Even a team like the Rays who succeed and have a payroll at 44 mil need to be better. Their fans deserve better, even if their organization is run well. They don't deserve to keep losing their stars and home grown talent. Pony up the money, losers! -Salary cap? I'd imagine this is the owners way of forcing top salaries down. IDK if a cap is really needed. But 180 is way too low. Go for 220.
