ChrisBTY posted:Almost of AEW's women's roster is either injured, in exile or bad and they arn't in a position to reinforce it with capable workers. It's in a bad state and I don't see it getting better anytime soon. There's really not a lot they can do right now. They were pushing Stat and Britt and both of them got injured. Riho and Yuka are stuck in Japan. Who is there to put on TV? You can't run Shida vs. Nyla every week.

Eat My Fuc posted:Like why announce your women’s fan club today then only have one brief segment which was good but it just comes off tone deaf. Their men’s division is fine that’s why to me bringing in mediocre at best Cardona is lame when you should be spending a lot of money to bring WWE’s stars of their women’s division over the same way WCW took Nash and Hall, or hell the same way WCW took ECW’s best they should be taking NXT’s any way they can to build this thing. So....they should engage in contract tampering?

Orange Carlisle posted:I'm sure Bischoff is fine as a presenter or whatever but so far Khan has been smart about not repeating the bad parts of wrestling history and getting Bischoff wrapped up in your poo poo is never a good idea Tony strikes me as smart enough to never give the guy a whit of actual power, so whatever. He wasn't offensive tonight but I also don't really need to see him ever again. It was a fun little cameo, it doesn't have to be more than that. Eat My Fuc posted:Hall and Nash or ECW people? Then I don’t know and i’m sorry for being wrong. I mean I don't disagree, but you do know WWE is sewing all of these people up for 5 years right now specifically so they don't go to AEW, right?

You want to honor and celebrate the fun parts of wrestling history, and the people in it, but some of the people in that history should not be let anywhere near the levers in charge, or even given too much exposure. Shane and Bryan as the babyface authority of SD was genuinely fun until *checks watch* wow, look at that, mid-2017. Huh.

btw it is August and I am now going to begin my campaign for Jon Moxley: Wrestler of the Year 2020 and it will ramp up in obnoxiousness as we get closer to award season, so. Just a heads-up on that. Anyway, Jon Moxley is the best wrestler of the year so far.

rare Magic card l00k posted:The idea of a pay-to-join club being taking advantage of people or a grift instead of a way to keep shitheads out is hilarious coming from literally anyone choosing to post on this subforum instead of facebook or reddit. Right???? I'm sympathetic to the fact that AEW Heels is pretty pricy and should probably have a monthly model, but. I would think if any group of people would understand the concept of a paywall to keep the riff raff out!

Gaz-L posted:Why do people keep bringing up the bold part as if it's a pro? Networks are shitcanning almost any content not owned by themselves left and right these days, because if you don't own it, you might end up losing the streaming rights to someone else, and you're also not making as much money off it as you could. Because people are comparing this to WCW getting canned by Kellner. Kellner canned WCW despite it doing decent (I guess?) ratings, because the company itself was a massive money pit for Turner. The point is that WCW and AEW are not analogous in this situation.

I mean putting to one side how problematic this is, at this point, he's risking derailing a highly built up TV main event that is presumably going to be a launching pad into the upper part of the card for one of his co-workers. It's just stupid.

Here's a thought. Who's gonna be the first homegrown star in AEW? I'm starting to think it's gonna be Angels and/or Vance. Promoter encouraging the talent to make frivolous purchases so they will need the wrestling business to pay it off. Dastardly.

IcePhoenix posted:This was posted in the social media thread but god drat more people need to watch it This is definitely at least partially a shoot. Lamuella posted:How strictly are we defining "homegrown"? Guevara had done national TV (Lucha Underground, AAA) and a Japanese tour with DDT but wasn't exactly a household name. Jungle Boy had some GCW matches and a few PWG appearances but nothing high profile. Darby Allin was clearly a name to watch and had wrestled for the likes of Progress and Evolve. We are defining homegrown as none of the guys in the first paragraph are homegrown for the reasons you outlined. If any appreciable amount of people responded to an AEW signing with "Oh, I'm glad they got them." then it's not homegrown.

smarxist posted:Also this weeks BTE was loving great, I loved the long intro to 50+ and the segment as well, also Dark Order continues to dominate, them stealing the Elite's commercial was great, Silver no selling Uno, and my biggest laugh was Brodie stalking into the room for the first time and having to re-arrange the guys because they weren't standing in the right order lmao In a very funny episode, the funniest thing was the Lumis joke. STAC Goat posted:It seemed weird to me already that the match was happening on Dynamite, let alone "Tag Appreciation Night." Like maybe it was AEW thinking they needed a main event or having something else in mind of the PPV, but that doesn't seem reflective of AEW's view of their tag division and I can't see what bigger match either guy could have by the PPV. And a rubber match feels unnecessary and potentially counter productive to me. I was honestly figuring they might do a time limit draw on TV and blow it off at the PPV. Now I think they should just push it to the PPV although it's extremely loving embarassing to have to kill a built up TV main event because Jericho is an idiot. I appreciate this post CJ2 and I agree with the sentiment. I don't want to second guess J-Ru and Junpei too much because I know what they do is really hard and I appreciate them a lot but I genuinely think equal probes was not the call here, especially given the, uh, very hosed up thing that was said completely out of nowhere and completely unwanted and un-asked for.

That Walter discussion was really frustrating because it was difficult to express "there are red flags around this guy that make me nervous" without it being taken as "this guy is a white supremacist" so it just got totally out of control, which is the entire loving point of dogwhistles like the 👌emoji. Similar stuff happened with Luchasaurus' lameass gimmick that, thankfully, I think somebody smartened him up on and he dropped. I like to think we as a subforum have improved on that stuff. I know I personally have. My feelings on WSAE are kinda complicated and I don't think this is the place for us to all start airing whether or not they should be roverted out of the subforum, so uh, I think maybe we should just cut that discussion now before it turns into another nasty derail.
