Day 505

• The good news for All Elite Wrestling:  1.1 million for "Fight For The Fallen", even against the Olympic Games, Wednesday night.  Top five in the almost two-year existence of AEW Dynamite.
• The bad news was that a gamble they made has apparently cost them a major sponsor:  The main event, as part of an overreaching story involving the #1 heel in the company, Maxwell Jacob Friedman and his "Five Labors of Jericho" (trying to show Chris Jericho that MJF is better than him, MJF is forcing Jericho to go through four massive challenges before facing him), was that Jericho had to go into a no-rules deathmatch situation with the wildly-independent-popular "King of All This Shit/MDK Gang" Nick Gage, the former GCW World Champion.  Gage is the most violent deathmatch wrestler in the United States, and is just as willing to kill himself than his opponent.  Gage is so popular that, when he lost the GCW Championship over the weekend in a similar match to the former Zack Ryder, the fans littered the ring with debris and damn near rioted!
• Gage, during the match with Jericho, cut Jericho's forehead with a pizza cutter.  While this was going on, TNT was in picture-in-picture commercial -- of Domino's Pizza...
• ... who will NO LONGER BE ADVERTISING ON THE PROGRAM AS A RESULT.
• Starlin Castro has been fired from the Washington Nationals after drawing a 30-day suspension for domestic violence.  Under league rules, the suspension comes first.
• The regents of both the University of Texas and Oklahoma University have accepted the move to the Southeastern Conference.  Tick tock...   
• Two of the biggest fire sales at the MLB trade deadline, the Cubs and the Nationals, play this weekend.  Between them, they traded 17 players and fired another.
