I find The Elite as tiring as anyone else but takes like this are getting annoying https://twitter.com/DanIsAYeti/status/1093707737584844800?s=19 They're bringing in Aja Kong! How much bigger a name could they possibly get?

Yeah, Aja Kong is a good get and it feels way too early to blow them off as not taking women's wrestling seriously. They're at least taking it more seriously then other top promotions and they're in a position to make stars of women who currently are not.

I love the consistent running theme of the biggest idiots always also being Alexa fans too or at least always using her reaction pictures/gifs in their "actually i'm the puppetmaster" posts

I missed that Charm City Gamer (tm) was such a weirdo in his last go around that Keith Law (a well known baseball writer) dunked on him. Glad I was informed of this today by the Charm City Gamer Community.

Basically for whatever the new signings may lack in "star power," they're exactly the type of smart, out-of-the-box signings that AEW can turn into stars with the right pushes. They clearly have big plans for Kylie Rae, who has the potential to be their top woman babyface. People like Sonny Kiss and Nyla Rose have an appeal that can extend much further beyond "filling a niche" in their roster (I think Kiss in particular is a massive breakout star waiting to happen). Using and featuring those people alongside the established draws (we all know Omega and Jericho are selling the tickets, but they won't be around forever) is how you build a well-balanced roster with both short- and long-term growth potential. But yeah, AEW is actually a failure because Sasha Banks and The Revival didn't waltz up to the podium in their best Lex Luger Nitro shirts or whatever the gently caress these people were expecting.

Like if Yuka Sakazaki isn't insanely over within minutes then the problem is with the fans and not AEW's hiring practices.

I agree with everything. That's what I'm excited the most about, AEW homegrown talent. Giving guys a legitimate shot to get over on television and building new stars. Those things have been gone for so long from WWE

I don't think it's about rehabilitation, there are some exceedingly talented midcarders in the WWE who would add to AEW. Claudo Castagnoli was one of the very best wrestlers around at one point and while he's a decade older now I think he has plenty to offer. Doesn't mean I think he should walk in day 1 and beat Omega or whatever, but there are wrestlers who aren't used well by the WWE who don't necessarily need rehabilitation because they can go. Doesn't mean they should sign everyone who walks from the WWE, I wouldn't want to see Sheamus but there's value in a guy like Cesaro working with the greener talent in AEW, he can elevate them. Edit: for some reason I thought I was in the AEW thread, sorry. forkboy84 fucked around with this message at 12:18 on Feb 9, 2019 |

It would be good to see Cesaro pushed as a higher tier singles guy without necessarily making him a main eventer. The only other singles dudes from WWE I'd like to see jump ship are Finn and Andrade who should both be at a higher level than they are and they'd both fit in well with the roster AEW is putting together. Besides that there's not really any singles wrestlers who I think would or should end up in a higher position than they have at WWE.

Linda has the kind of money that buys a cabinet spot. Dixie doesn’t. She might have enough on hand to get an ambassador spot to Haiti.

Given Vince's personality, thoughts on the old money rich and politics there are probably some retired car dealers in the Stamford area who were good friends with Vince and have some stories.

What was that interview Vince did where he talked about growing up in a North Carolina trailer home and the times he nearly killed his abusive stepdad? I don't remember details, but it was a shockingly revealing interview for a guy who's notoriously careful about his public statements.

I don't know if he said he almost killed his stepdad, but in that Playboy interview he definitely said his biggest regret in life was that his stepdad died before Vince could kill him.
