Kevin Kelly reportedly FIRED from AEW, what led to the decision and why the timing of his tweets may have ultimately led to his demise... the EYE-POPPING dollar amount Tony Khan is allegedly paying to Kazuchika Okada and why it's hilarious people are making such a big deal about this... Mercedes Mone speaks ahead of her expected AEW debut and is already talking about an eventual return to WWE... and my DARK SIDE OF THE RING review covers the life and career of Earthquake John Tenta, including a humorous look at the Shockmaster incident with his former tag team partner, and an anything but funny look at the final days of his life, including audio from one of his last interviews... then we hear from a CASUAL FEMALE FAN about what she likes and dislikes about WWE and AEW, a possible John Cena heel turn in 2024 and where do I rank STING on the list of all-time greats?***Follow Solomonster on Twitter for news and opinion:http://www.twitter.com/solomonsterSubscribe to the Solomonster Sounds Off on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/user/TheSolomonster?sub_confirmation=1Become a Solomonster Sounds Off Channel Member:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9jcg7mk93fGNqWPMfl_Aig/join

Despite what Rollins was wearing, he had a strong night on the microphone up against Rock, who added a stipulation that all but gives away the finish for the Night Two main event at WrestleMania.

Sound Off 851 - A FAREWELL TO STING, ROCK'S SCATHING PROMO AND THE MAXXINE DUPRI "STORY"
Support our sponsor this week by using the link below for the special Solomonster offer!EXPRESSVPN - Get an extra three months FREE of the #1 trusted VPN at http://www.expressvpn.com/solomonsterIt was a rough week with the deaths of Ole Anderson, Virgil and Paul "Butcher" Vachon and Solomonster has something to say for each of them. Then he runs down the card for tonight's AEW Revolution event and gives his predictions for each match, including Sting's final bow after a 40 year career and why you rarely hear his name mentioned on people's Mount Rushmores, but why he will go down as one of the all-time greats. He also ranks the TEN BEST MATCHES of Sting's career... AND THEN... he runs through The Rock's SCATHING 21-minute promo on Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins, the key takeaways from it and why it was the best Rock promo in years. That leads into a discussion of the newsworthy segment on Smackdown with Rock and Roman challenging Cody and Seth to a tag team match on Night One of WrestleMania, why the segment accomplished several things and the different scenarios for both main events. PLUS... Tama Tonga on his way to WWE... how much WWE paid MLW to settle their antitrust lawsuit... Shawn Spears makes a surprise return to NXT... the Maxxine Dupri "controversy" as she gets booed by the fans (gasp!)... and YOUR QUESTIONS on CM Punk at WrestleMania 40, one problem with the Damage CTRL story and why Wrestlemanias 20-22 were not held in stadiums like the ones directly before it.***Follow Solomonster on Twitter for news and opinion:http://www.twitter.com/solomonsterSubscribe to the Solomonster Sounds Off on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/user/TheSolomonster?sub_confirmation=1Become a Solomonster Sounds Off Channel Member:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9jcg7mk93fGNqWPMfl_Aig/join
