Talk is Jericho with Dean Malenko talking Parkinson's, his career and AEW is really good. Dean is really funny as always and his thoughts on how his philosophy gels with what the new guys are doing is an interesting perspective vs what a lot of "old guys" think. Plus his family's method for coping with Parkinson's is pretty unique!
Malenko says Ricky Starks is money and then almost immediately compares him to The Miz* :roflolmao:

To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And I'm not afraid to die.

The other side of the same coin is them saying "well she's only shiving in AEW because who would they have put her in front of in NXT, there was so much more talent there that earned their spot in the queue."

Which entirely ignores her ring work if you ever saw her in NXT or character work or most of all that you had this talent and just left her to flounder in developmental and not develop her because well others came first.

Meanwhile Roderick Strong has been there for five years learning to work.

She was god awful in NXT and she was pretty green when she joined AEW, let's not re-write history here. Now that she's got to be Tay, she's gotten to lean into her strengths. She's a legitimate black belt, she got to use her background to drag Nyla around like a rag doll without making Nyla looking weak. She was still a deer in headlights months ago, but AEW tries to make sure as many people look credible as possible.

I don't disagree, she was still pretty rough (though you could definitely see her potential outside of NXT/WWE in the tag tournament) it's just funny how now they can't even deny that she's pretty good.

you'd think but when tde giffed the sick-rear end dragon screw from the Tay/Nyla tournament match the first comments were like "Wow i can't believe they botched a simple leg sweep" and "Typical AEW women's division crylaughingemoji"

It was fine to be skeptical of her a year ago or even 6 months ago (the improvement was obvious but it's ok to be skeptical) but a few months ago she was legitimately having good performances every time out on the Brodie tribute and then the Serena Deeb match, plus good squashes on Dark.

I just really enjoyed Dave losing his poo poo over how much WWE hosed up with Tay. Like yeah, WWE spends 20 million on training and they hosed up with a potential huge star who has massively improved just by leaving and working with a couple real trainers, Dustin and QT and whoever else. Vince absolutely should be pissed if he had any idea what is actually going on.

"You get this girl from Brazil, and she's really athletic, and she's got a good look, and a bit of charisma, and you try to teach her wrestling, and she SUCKS! Then she leaves, and suddenly she's really good! If you're Vince you gotta be thinking "what the gently caress!"

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
The performance center has a pretty awful track record but the women that are lucky enough to work on NXT regularly almost always get better so I don't know if you get to access a different trainer there or what.

In wwe everyone pretty much learns to work the same way. Which for some people works. Tay though has legit martial arts training and I’m betting that the wwe style kind of makes you work against that rather than work with it.

WWE has always trained people wrong as a joke. Every single WWE feeder system has had gently caress all success and has only retrospectively had any success when people made it to the main roster and massively improved after the fact when they're around guys who aren't trying to just break them down as people.

The whole point of the PC isn't to train wrestlers, it's to indoctrinate people into the cult. Once you realize that fact, everything else they do makes perfect sense.

iirc don't people from the PC usually have similar injuries due to a predilection towards working out certain types of your body a certain way? I can't remember the specifics of this but I've heard it a bunch
