I had the weirdest dream last night. The FORBIDDEN PORTAL was found in the closet of my local American Legion. But it was Silver and Reynolds who were trying to open it while Anna Jay leaned against the nearby wall rolling her eyes.

Reynolds: you really think it'll work?
Silver: *grappling the portal* Tanahashi is so gonna join us!

I doubt Rosa will get signed permanently but will def be hanging around a lot. I wouldn't sign Ivelisse after that bullshit but I'd sign Diamante. AEW women division is hobbled as is and does not need someone sandbagging and being pouty for dumb reasons. More than ever they could use people like Rosa around while they rebuild after losing Bea/some of the Japan contingent/Kris. I'm glad they did sign Anna, Abadon, and Tay since they all have a lot of promise.

Losing Bea was a blessing in disguise since she's an unsafe worker and an rear end in a top hat to boot.

Yeah, she got in a legit fight at the Women's Casino Battle Royal, and gave Britt Baker a concussion in a tag match at a prior event. She isn't worth keeping around.

I hope Rosa is around long enough for Billy Corgan to admit there's no life in the shambling corpse of the NWA and then gets signed permanently.

I mean, NWA isn't somehow signing their talent to exclusive contracts are they? I'd assume you'd need to pay them...money for that to happen. And how often is an AEW/NWA scheduling conflict going to arise? Even if it does, ok then Thunder Rosa isn't in the women's match of the week NBD.

I just looked it up on your recommendation in the other thread and holy moly that was bad even by NWA standards. Further, did they even promote that PPV? You'd think they could've gotten some cross promotion from AEW for it if they're working together.

I believe they are exclusive in the sense that their wrestlers cant work for wwe or aew without permission but can work indies

I think someone said older NWA contracts didn't specify AEW because it didn't exist, and now the new ones do specify both WWE and AEW as places they can't work (that happened fast!)

They offered Ricky Starks $1k a month before he ultimately walked and ended up I. AEW. I want to say Zicky Dice also walked recently.

The main thing Corgan seems to have going to him RE: Thunder Rosa’s willingness to stick around is that she’s very into the legacy of the NWA, but who knows how much that’ll sustain when the other option is being on top of the division of a real TV company that will also let her run her own promotion at home.

That was MLW. MJF is probably the biggest jump under one of those, but Jimmy Havoc also worked on the same deal. It also appears Pillman Jr. is on one of the old contracts.

It was a good match that Rosa dragged out of Ivelisse, everyone else who's ever worked with Thunder Rosa in the last two years have praised her as a ring general, mentor, their favorite opponent, etc.

Meanwhile Jack Evans has been cutting a promo about how much he hates Ivelisse for about four years straight and apparently he was the peace maker between her and Angelico. How do you not get along with TH2

It's so refreshing that when people are signed to AEW everyone's giving them advice and telling them how to tighten their game up compared to the giant mess that WWE has been for a decade. Chris Hero got major heat for trying to give people advice. Chris loving Hero.

Kingston does this a lot too. There's no shortage of veterans in AEW who genuinely want to help younger guys improve.

Why is Ivelisse upset at Rosa taking a locker room leader role? Are there any benefits in that role that give her an advantage over everyone that she could abuse? Is she upset because she believes that a locker room leader should be the most experienced and she has years over Rosa? It’s so baffling to me.

My assumption is that Ivelisse is jealous because she's been in AEW longer.

I feel like if we understood why Ivelisse did the things she did, we would have a better idea of why she never ends up anywhere instead of going 'Oh hey Ivelisse, why hasn't she ended up anywhere?' every time she shows up somewhere once a year or so.

I had to look this up and it's true, Thunder Rosa debuted in 2014 and Ivelisse debuted in 2004 :stare: I would totally have sworn it was the other way around, given how Thunder Rosa works so well in the ring and Ivelisse...well, doesn't.

E: Hell, by the time she was signed by WWE in 2011, Ivelisse had already been working the indies for seven years.
