Yeah one of the best parts of AEW is the long-term storytelling.

One of the worst parts is the long-term storytelling means people will look at someone like Peter Avalon, Brandon Cutler, Luther, etc and think we're all insane for being so in love with these obvious jobbers.

No it would taste different because they are 30 years old by now.

Who gives a poo poo what people think? If watching Luther makes you happy then you watch the gently caress out of Luther, my dude. Life's too short.

I just asked about the last couple years in Japan so a big primer on international, independent, and people who have just been in WWE for so long I've forgotten they exist sounds like a dream to me.

Something I notice with lovely IWC people is they have a tendency to judge wrestlers by where they were at some point in the past. Like that AEW Botches twitter that still refers to PAC as 'Neville" or the people still saying Lance Hoyt. They treat AEW hiring these guys are proof that AEW is garbage because "these guys were jobbers in TNA!!" or whatever.

Cause in their minds, whatever place on the card you were when they first saw you, that's where you are for life. Nevermind the fact that Stone Cold Steve Austin was a midcarder in WCW, or that Drew McIntyre was in 3MB, or whatever. Born a jobber, die a jobber.

Can't post for 30 days!
On the subject of Adam Cole: he would have to be supremely dumb to sign a contract with WWE at this point, instead of heading to AEW or focusing on his Twitch streaming or whatever. They've already said guys like him don't have a place in the company any more, and the only reason they want him on the main roster at this point is so that AEW doesn't get to boast about signing away yet another big talent that WWE didn't know what to do with, especially so soon after SummerSlam. There's no way in hell Vince sees him as another HBK waiting in the wings, and Nick Khan will cut him loose as soon as he thinks the financials would look better by his doing so. There's literally nothing for him in WWE beyond a paycheck, and as we've seen in the last few months, that's not even a safe bet anymore.

Originally, my big finishing move was gonna be the Leaf Hurricane which is a 720 rotation Black Mass, but it injured me in 2020 and I’ve been cautious about using the move since.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Kidd Bandit posted:

I first got into wrestling through the Ruthless Aggression era of WWE. I grew up in the Philippines, so the only wrestling I could watch was extreme tape-delay of SmackDown. The good news, however, is instead of it being a weekly programming, we had it 3-4 days a week so I had wrestling consistently playing in the background as I wrestled on my mattress.

We must protect Kidd Bandit at all costs so he can takeover from TJP as the best wrestler from the Phillipines.

Also wow one of his favourite watches growing up was WWECW

This could be the most one-sided fight since 1973 when Ali faced an eighty-foot tall mechanical Joe Frazier. My memory isn't what it used to be, but I think the entire Earth was destroyed.

I choose to believe Alvarez because I think Bray Wyatt sucks and I don't want him on the show I like.

I admit I would have said roughly the same for Taynara Conti though, so if Wyatt wants to show up and wrestle like he's been injecting Shibata matches into his veins, I'll forgive him too.
