i like danhausen b/c i like the vibes of b movie horror hosts like elvira and svengoolie and he's the sort of wrestling character that i just get a huge kick out of. i'd been fantasy booking a stable of like luther/serpentico/abadon/etc with him as the manager and i still think it'd be a very good idea

i can't believe tony khan committed the unforgivable sin of signing the indie comedy act with huge buzz

it's funny how many people in the dynamite thread were like 'nobody cares, what a mistake' at the same time that people in the arena on dynamite were chanting for him louder than they did for some of the other dudes who wrestled earlier that night. not gonna say everyone has to like him, but he's certainly someone people in general already like a whole lot

it's more that iirc he actively doesn't want to be attached to a major company and certainly doesn't need to in his spot on the indies

Like Rocky not being able to appear at rampage last week, or the Lee and Brock-FTR match being rescheduled.

Couple of unexplained reschedulings recently.

i mean they did in fact say that stuff was due to covid including on commentary

One of the things people have pointed out as a gap in AEW�s roster is main event ready black singles stars, and the three best available unsigned prospects for that are Swerve, Jon Gresham and Keith Lee so people are going to be naturally backing them to be signed

gresham is running terminus which is supposed to be a promotion and not just a set of shows, iirc

it's also entirely reasonable that in-keyfabe refs are supposed to stabilize ladders if needed so that they don't, like, die

He just honestly doesn't belong in AEW, at least not yet. He should be in the indies learning how to be a pro wrestler and not just a vanilla lump.

I keep hearing about how awful the Leyla/Velvet match was, so did I miss something? Like, it was kinda scrappy and an off night for both, but I didn't think it was THAT bad. The crowd disengagement was disappointing, but that seems to be the deal with women's wrestling in the US more often than not.

people are real critical of the aew women's division in general

Malakai Black was great in his promo but I thought Brody King was not good at all. He'll have to stand in the back while Julia Black or Danhausen take the second position, sorry big man.

Still hyped to see him do more big boy moves in the ring tho

he was fine but definitely suffered from the comparison to malakai and pac

also lio did speak positively about Tony both at the time and as recently as shortly before he announced his contract wasn't being renewed

edit: from the 22nd

quote:

Fightful spoke to Lio about AEW and Tony Khan last week, and he said the following.

"It's always a cool thing when you have somebody passionate about what you love doing," Lio began by saying. "Tony is clearly, incredibly passionate about professional wrestling. A lot of his excitement bounces off people and his energy is very contagious when it comes to wrestling. It's cool to have a boss that thinks of wrestling in that aspect. When it comes to me in particular, it was a nice feeling to have someone with that much influence and power say, 'this guy is good and I want him as part of my company.' That's such a compliment, a really cool compliment. I'm super appreciative of that."

"I got offered a deal initially and things happen, things change, the world of wrestling has changed. I will say this, this is no secret, this is me pointing out the obvious; I'm a lone wolf. I go where I want, I like putting things on my resume and I like working different places and wrestling anybody and everybody. We've seen that since I left WWE. I've been to AAA, MLW, AEW, New Japan. (My independence) is very important. It's very important for my mental stability. I never really like being stuck in one spot, especially if I don't have control over that," Rush said. "This is the time's we are in with wrestling right now and it's a beautiful thing that you can have someone be signed here, but also work there and signed to multiple deals, but still be able to pop up. We just saw Mickie James get announced for the Royal Rumble, that's incredible. It's no secret. I'm on a deal with AEW, but I'm also on a deal with New Japan. I'm also doing my own things back at home. It's pretty open-ended and it's exciting."

Lio had tweeted that he would be working with Tony Khan and Megha Parekh for positive change in 2022.

most of the stuff i've seen weird about lio are the people who really want him to have been fired b/c he sent out an all caps "APOLOGIZE" tweet instead of just believing what lio has said about the situation and how he feels about tony/aew. like, the dude is willing to talk honest poo poo about everyone and everything and he's gonna be tight lipped about this?

i do hope the dude figures out something that makes him happy that he can stick with and i respect the dude just continuing to try poo poo until he finds it

aew please drop the casino gimmick for your rumbles so we can have a good royal rumble again

MassRafTer posted:

The Casino Battle Royals are good and the Royal Rumble is basically never good so AEW should stick with the winning formula.

i like having surprise entrants and the chunks of people running out at once is fine for time, but it does mean that you're basically only getting the joker and MAYBE one of the people in the first suit as a surprise

i haven't disliked a casino battle royale, i just miss enjoying royal rumbles

actually i think you'll find this negative opinion you have on AEW is 100% wrong and i have to inform you AEW is actually 100% good

i don't need therapy

this is a weird post made even weirder by making it in the middle of a conversation people are having about wishing aew did something differently

like, at least take this threadshit in the middle of when people are happy about something

I'm not angry at the people who want to ruin AEW with tired WWE ideas, I just feel bad that they watch these bad shows and want everyone to suffer through the same old thing.

Been waiting for someone to walk out of WWE directly into AEW. Didn't see Brian Kendrick coming as the fastest turnaround from "he's gone" to "Oh he's at AEW now"

tbh my money was on drew gulak doing it. i bet he could do it right now and wwe wouldn't even notice he wasn't in catering anymore

They really need to hire someone to do a google search on people before Tony hires them because this just keeps happening

i have literally never heard of kendrick being a conspiracy theory nut and as of last night when i was looking up stuff to link to people in discord it didn't show up, so it's not as well known as poo poo like what jay lethal's done

he didn't get an #allelite or anything so hopefully once mox kills him to get danielson mad we don't hear of him anymore (or kendrick comes out with a thing saying he was in a lovely place mentally a decade ago when he said that stuff and disavows all of that now, which would be good)

He's probably getting brought on as an agent/trainer.

or he was getting a one-off like cardona on his way to the indies. we don't know until it's announced and if bix's tweet about it gets around enough before the end of the day it could change poo poo, who knows

this forum is generally really clued into lovely things done by lovely people and i'd never once seen anyone talk about kendrick being a holocaust denying sandy hook truther before, so yeah i imagine a background check could miss things unless you think he put it on his resume
