if this is what it takes to save american wrestling, maybe american wrestling isn't worth saving.

Just find it super funny that in 2020 Impact not only got it's logo featured on New Japan World but is also involved in an angle with AEW's world champion. Don Callis can not be stopped

sanshiro takagi and don callis are somehow the two smartest promoters in 2020

Oh, so this is why ItohRespectArmy thinks the end game is AEW owning TNA.

Alright, I guess i can see it from that angle.

this is an insanely big if but IF this is AEW buying out TNA to run as a developmental brand it's actually pretty genius, you already have a small fanbase in place and a middling mens roster and an incredible womens roster, almost everyone on the AEW roster has some kind of history with TNA and they can use that to run storylines, they can acknowledge peoples TNA title reigns and more importantly IMPACT would not feel like a B show, it would be a separate thing.

agreed in the sense that more people watch Dark than IMPACT

true but AEW could probably get them on a real tv network again

smarxist posted:

kinda like jumpstarting a brand split because you want to run two shows with your giant roster and have separate discrete places to run certain storylines

im pretty sure vinces plan in 2001 was to run WCW as its own show but he ended up scrapping it for smackdown.

The match kicked into the gear I expected it to after the chair sit-down spot, so they definitely have it in them. It felt like they were purposely holding back like Hangman and Kenny did at Full Gear.

felt like they were wrestling around the commercials alot too.

Why do we get mad at promoters for misusing wrestlers but we never question if the wrestler has bad vibes? Or if they're just unpleasant to be around?

When does this ever happen in wrestling? People always get these weird ideas, like Undertaker should pass on his spiritual powers to Bray. In reality, we get Ric Flair giving Miz the Figure Four.

One time on TNA Alex Shelley was stalking Sting and his family and when they were crossing the street he called them "John Paul George and Stingo"

there was also the time kurt angle went to sting's son's football game to cheer for him and act like he was his new dad, honestly TNA was stuffed with psychotic angles.

Cementing Taz's position as the most fragile manager.

it should be very telling that taz's neck was so hosed up he was the only ECW guy to actually completely retire and never unretire.

I'm betting on him showing up in a helicopter. Maybe the announcement is that he's going to DDT to face Endo?

i think kenny omega dropping the AEW, IMPACT and AAA titles to endo would own, imo.
