Please someone gif Wardlow Superman punching of the cage for everyone who didn't like the MMA match. I just need to know they saw that.

Brock needs to gently caress off promptly and learn how to work. That was the worst debut I’ve seen, outside of the WWE system, off the top of my head. Like Gary the Barn Owl debut in chikara bad.

He was incredibly lost in the first sequence and then got better fast. He has a weird in ring energy that I think he'll eventually turn into a cool swagger. He will just need a lot of dark reps.

He also looked like a natural heel in the ring with the way he moved. If he does end up working heel he can hide his current lack of skills by throwing guys like they're his kids who just woke him up after he came home from the 3rd shift. Easy simple stuff.

Like, Brock looks green but I wouldn't be worried or upset about him because the company knows how to protect green wrestlers. I mean, look at Jade.

Also they're saving her for the new show which is obviously the Cody show because of the fighting EVPs. Rewatch that trailer

Brock Lesnar was only a "natural wrestling talent" because he was a college wrestler, which is much easier to transition to fake wrestling than college basketball player, hence she's not going to go in there and be Kurt or Brock bearing a miracle. AR Fox, Mark Henry, and QT Marshall/Cody have guided her and their track records for noticing talent and molding it are pretty good.

The Lesnar comparison is this, some of the best athletes in the history of the world couldn't look like Lesnar no matter their workouts or diet, same goes with Jade, you don't just get to work to look like that it's a god given blessing.

drat so she was born on 3rd base

I miss Shao Kahn Mil Muertes. I wonder if AEW has given him a look. He shows up in MLW sometimes.

Just hire Jeff Cobb and Ricky Banderas and have them murder each other. Or make them a beefman tag team, either one is fine.

Ricky Bandaras would be fun but is also do deeply in the territory of things that don't need. But it would give us some funny matches.

Did a lot of people just assume that because Kenny and the Bucks were involved that AEW would just be "New Japan but in English" even though that was never really what was promised? I still see people on the internet who are Big Offended that "AEW LIED to us about sports-based presentation" and at this point it seems like they're literally never going to get over it.

Pretty much. Like, I was one of those people. I heard Kenny and the Bucks talk about AEW being sports-based presentation without much explanation and assumed they meant it was going to be similar to NJPW's presentation style. Then about 3 weeks in I realized the guys who grew up with WCW are doing WCW but good and moved on with my life.

Not a hater, just holy poo poo this forum promotes her as a 15 when the scale only goes to 10. She's had like 20 minutes of cumulative screen time over 3 months. Let her happen organically or it's really going to suck if she doesn't live up to everyone's hype.

lmao it's just emf being emf.

I don't care how good she looks, Jade can barely cut a promo by herself yet, let alone carry a blockbuster movie in a major role. It's like when people were clamoring for Glenn Danzig to play Wolverine.

He's the right height!

The dude has his own thread but someone else also thinks Joey is serious and I'm pretty sure that's Joey's audience here. It's a bad and poorly thought out troll but lmao at the heat it's getting.

Remember when Joey Janela did an entire like saga of "getting a social media manager who died" like it was an ARG.

That was real and I'll be honest I think you should prob yourself for just dismissing that dead social media manager's legacy.

only the most online people know it was Joey. Otherwise it was some rando redneck.

Unless the news snitches out Joey. Which would be pretty funny.

I don't know, he seemed really muted before that match even starts. It's either a work or just he's just mad in a "I've got to work with these guys" sort of way.

Or something horrible happened backstage and we need the scoops.

I'm just going to pretend they're reforming team Pazuzu and will get mad when it doesn't happen. I'm excited for everyone to engage with how mad I'll be.

Like it was less for me that I didn't get the LAX trivia (I didn't watch during the period Santana and Ortiz were in TNA, so LAX will forever be Homicide and Hernandez and Konnan), there was just a weirdly presumptive tone to the entire post where you seem to think things are moving towards something that doesn't even really fit.

Konnan has been associated the Inner Circle his entire time in AEW, and he has the history with Santana and Ortiz. There is nothing there to indicate that this is disengaging the Inner Circle from the story.

Has Pinkie Sanchez done anything particularly wrong, or is it valid to ask "Where's Pinkie Sanchez been?"

No idea what he's doing in ring wise but I think he's the guy who called out the Christian "charity" secretly running a show with Joey Ryan

Konnan is also the booker for AAA and no AAA talent has appeared in AEW (Penta, Fenix, and Laredo Kid are all independent wrestlers in Mexico). Being on his good side is a great way to open other forbidden doors and bring in people like Big Mami or Hijo del Vikingo.

It's also often used for heel heat in AEW because it's making you have to win a 20 minute TV match to fight a championship match. Has a challenge won this stipulation in AEW yet?
