I am a father. In some circles I am considered a good one. Never once held a candle to my own, but I did my best what what I had.
Tonight, AEW Dynamite honors the legacy of a great man, Jon Huber aka Brodie Lee. His children are front and center for the 10 bell salute and, by god, one of them is wearing a Dark Order Mask (-1 from what I ve been told). I can t even begin to describe how sad it is for me to see them without a father. Jon Huber was a good man. Don t forget that. Forget the Intercontinental title, the WWE Smackdown Tag Team Title, the AEW TNT Title. The man and the legacy is what you leave behind.

Their wrestlers were paid, their Honor Club Subscribers were extended and they hit the sweet spot as far as empty arena TV shows (also have to give some love to Dave Marquez presentation of the UWN.
