I'm watching the Saturday ppv-esque show. Is Tommy Dreamer's match a retirement match?

e: Apparently just his 50th birthday, which is cool.

Also, Jake got his Something back?

So now we have an idea of what the plan for Sammy Guevara was:

f4wonline.com posted:

Following his on-screen departure from the Inner Circle on Dynamite, the AEW standout arrived in Nashville, TN, to work the February 9-11 Impact tapings as part of the angle. However, he didn't like the creative plan and after making some suggestions that were turned down, he was told he wasn't needed.

One story Meltzer could not confirm was that Guevara was set to be part of a six man tag on next week's show where the winning team would move on to a three way match for an X-Division title shot. He was set to team with Ace Austin and Chris Bey against Willie Mack, Josh Alexander and Trey Miguel. Austin and Bey will team with Black Taurus instead.

Guevara reportedly suggested winning the X-Division title before returning to AEW with it. He would never lose the title and it would then be stripped at some point and put up for grabs in a tournament.

Meltzer did confirm that Guevara was going to win three matches at the tapings, adding that Chris Jericho and Don Callis came up with the initial angle and whatever happened made them look bad. Guevara was only scheduled for that set of tapings.

I supported the notion that sammy might not benefit from an angle in TNA but to show up in a promotion your first day and propose that you should win their big belt title and then also never lose it is some brass balls.

Plus it could have also furthered Santana and Ortiz' split from the IC as well, if Sammy would prove to them that 'Hey, I didn't need the IC to win a title, so what's holding you two back?'

Also, since the article says that under Impact's original plan Sammy was supposed to win 3 matches anyway, you'd think that him coming into the company with such a quick, high win record, him actually taking the title off TJP wouldn't be that unrealistic.

I think in 99% of situations I'm going to side with the talent who decides "Nah, I don't want to do this thing in Impact" more than I'd side with Impact. They haven't built up enough good will and consistency to be trusted to do something the right way IMO. It's kind of a big shot move of Sammy to suggest winning the belt, but it'd probably create more interest in Impact than Sammy showing up and basically doing nothing of consequence.

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

I mean, if Sammy really doesn't want to work with Impact and feels comfortable torpedoing that and not hurting his position in AEW then great. More power to him. Demand a corner office and a company car.

But I can't exactly blame Impact for not wanting to put him over an entire division, give him a title, and then have him walk away and never lose the belt or pay anything off. Sammy's clearly being selfish there and its his prerogative, but its also Impact's to just say "thanks but we'll go another way."

edit: Assuming its true. Who the gently caress knows?

Yeah, there's some kind of middle ground for sure. Showing up to win the belt and do a better thing than just leaving with the belt would be better than the supposed idea Sammy had or the supposed idea Impact had.

I think it makes more sense for Sammy to just be nowhere right now anyway. Let him fade out a little bit before his big return to destroy the Inner Circle.

This is the most important part. More Black Taurus is a beautiful thing and more people should refuse to do storylines if it means he'll pop up in their place.
