Sucks for Janela. He made a video tweet where he read off how badly he hurt his knee and yikes, it was ugly. I hope he makes it back all the way.

I don't blame Del Rio for taking money from these idiots

How many promoters have paid him now for zero work and no showing and that they keep booking him is their own fault

I don't think there are currently any women working for the company younger than twenty-one, so maybe that's a reason why Alberto's being considered again.

We don't need Alberto Del Rio after all.

PWInsider posted:

In regard to a story making the rounds over the last 24 hours that Impact Wrestling is in negotiations with Alberto el Patron to return to the company, we have been told by several that is incorrect and there have been zero discussion of his return after he no-showed an event for the company over Wrestlemania 34 weekend in New Orleans and was terminated.

There has been no sign of Austin Aries at today's TV taping, so we will see. The word making the rounds was that he flew home yesterday to Las Vegas, which was not the original plan. There were some re-writes to this week's TV tapings one source stated.

I guess we don't need Aries either. Or maybe we do? Hard to tell, idk.

Aries and Del Rio start their own indie fed where they advertise themselves for the main event every show and never show up. It takes over a dozen shows for people to catch on.

I wish I had some context as to whether that was a good deal for Impact or not.

Has it gotten to the point where Low-Ki is less problematic for a company than Del Rio?

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
Low-Ki will show up to bookings and storm off angry. I don't know if ADR has even shown up to a booking in 2 years.

Low-Ki shows up, poo poo-talks and ruins relationships with companies backstage instead of on-camera, and stiffs people

Del Rio shows up half the time at best (did most of the TNA stuff but no-showed basically every indy before and since), poo poo-talks and ruins relationships with talent and companies backstage and on-camera, and stiffs people

He did pretty much every TNA booking he was advertised to do (obviously wasn't advertised for anything during his suspension) TV tapings-wise and even with PPVs during his last run here. He only no-showed their big Mania weekend show with LU, which was still a very big gently caress up

I am very ashamed no one in here has suggested pairing together Alberto and Low-Ki as a tag team. They would be an unstoppable force of stiffing and complaining and trash talking in the TNA tag team division. :colbert:

Really the only thing that stops Low-Ki from being the WORST is that he only throws his tantrums backstage (mostly) because he still has respect for wrestling. Still kinda laughed that Austin Aries managed to be professional a whole match then threw his tantrum afterwards. Dude, you're still throwing a baby tantrum it doesn't matter if you did it before, during, or after a match if it was still on camera.

I mean for as many problems as Ki has had he's always had decent runs with promotions too. I don't think the problems start until after he drops the belt.

He's almost 40, Lio Rush has managed to right his ship before 25 years old. Pretty safe to say that always being paranoid, on-edge, and quick-tempered is just how Low-Ki is going to live the rest of his life.

Grouping him with LayCool was supposed to humble him and how did that turn out.
