Thanks Dennis.
Russo is an idiot. AEW won't hire him and want nothing to do with him. wwe won't rehire him. Do not waste anymore time on him.
The podcast with Jericho is a whole lotta confirmation of things we've heard before. Vince will continue to run that place with the lack of creativity as long as they have that 5-year contract with Fox playing them a billion. And I can't be the only one that appreciated how he broke down the process of how promos are crafted and the despair of having to recite that shit on air.
Look at what is going on with Sasha Banks right now. If she was free to do a podcast, she'd be dropping bombs on the whole process too.

I look at AEW that this shit interests me in a way no promo has outside of WCW in a long time. Maybe that's my failing for now paying attention to more ROH or NJPW, but if this can get me watching it's going to get the casuals watching.

MJF turning on Cody is great.
I wonder who the next challenger for Jericho is, though. He already beat Page, PAC lost, so I'd guess Moxley? But I saw Jericho/Mox in WWE already and ehhhh.

By data Go To PostI'd like to see Dustin vs Jericho. They had that amazing match back in the EThat'd be fun and the story would be easy to tell. But they seem too into win-loss records and their rankings for something like that.

They announced a Dynamite show for Miami 1/15/20. I will for sure be going, probably try to get floor seats of some sort cause they actually price their seats well. Will be interesting to see where its at story-wise around X-mas time.
By Sunflower Go To PostHow do yall feel about AEW now after these past few months?I have issues with it, but I think it's consistently decent to good.
The expectation that people watch their YouTube content like Dark and Being the Elite is bad. They don't do a good job of introducing their audience to new characters. They have way too many factions. Their women's division is pretty woeful and Britt Baker sucks and I don't like seeing her on TV every week. They spent entirely too long on story lines they eventually cut bait on like whatever they were doing with Brandy Rhodes.
But when it's good, it's great.
It's good, better than WWE most of the time. Something needs to happen with JR though, he's clearly gotten to old for it.
I think next week's ppv will be a good indicator of the quality.

AEW is doing storytelling right. I went to Bash at the Beach it was great, a spectacle. Wrestling was overall good as well and like I said storytelling. There were some lulls and low points... specifically with the Womens Division.
2 weeks later I went to a NJPW show that also came down here. Highlight.... a selfie with Ace. Would have loved Ibushi to have made it.
Pretty cool seeing Dave Finlay and Juice not gonna lie and then they had Nagata, Yoshi Hashii, good amount of Vets to round out an American show.
Got a sick Miami Vice themed NJPW shirt as well. Surprisingly enjoyed the 'wrestling' aspect of this more than AEW. Aesthetic, atmosphere and feel though AEW was another level. It felt like the Nitro and Bash at the Beach I went to in 1998.
AEW Womens division needs work. Need a big name free agent or Indy thats not on TNA or ROH or give all the dark match talent, Diamante(Miami wrestler) or Big Swole more shine on the main roster.
I like Statlander a lot, she needs to take the belt, but shes too over I think to get it now.

Yeah Statlander will get the strap at some point but Nyla needs a length reign as a monster heel. There’s probably gonna be some fuckery for their match at Revolution since I’d be surprised if Statlander lost cleanly. Then again AEW has a done a great job of keeping talent strong despite taking losses. And they’ve veered from doing draws/DQ finishes.
No chance Nyla and Statlander gets a clean finish.
I will say, something that AEW does well is actually keeping people apart before the blowoff. Cody and MJF has been going for a while, but they haven't actually locked up at all until their match at Revolution. I'm not tired of seeing them wrestle before what is supposed to be the big climax of their story. It's really nice.
Also, they're able to tell compelling stories without a belt like Cody and MJF, Pac and Omega, etc.

Yeah I’m loving what AEW is doing in general. This whole year of Dynamites has been amazing. And good god they they turned around Hangman.
Jericho's run across NJPW and AEW the last couple years has been legit amazing. He's still super good at 49.
So I missed this...

The company announced Wednesday it cut legend Kurt Angle along with a score of wrestlers: tag-team partners Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, Drake Maverick, Curt Hawkins, EC3, Lio Rush, Heath Slater, Aiden English and Eric Young. Zack Ryder, Sarah Logan, Erick Rowan, Primo and Epico Colon, Mike and Maria Kanellis and No Way Jose were also reportedly released. Several producers, including Lance Storm, Shane Helms and Fit Finlay, were also let go or furloughed, as was referee Mike Chioda.Hideous.
Rusev also announced his departure with this tweet: “Thank you All, Rusev out!”
The timing is terrible and they look awful for doing it during a Pandemic when they have so much TV money coming in. That said, they have been hoarding talent for years now. All done to keep people away form AEW, NJPW, etc. Last year they went on a stupid signing spree where they were doubling contracts to stop people from leaving or in the case of Mike & Maria giving them 500k a year. Anderson and Gallows were given 750k a year. That kind of money is not sustainable longterm or logical when how talent is figured in.
I hope the people let go saved their money.

For anyone interested, the British wrestling scene is about to be decimated. David Starr, the man at the forefront of unionisation for wrestlers in Europe and around the world, was accused of sexually assaulting a female wrestler. He basically admitted to it and has since been fired and stripped of titles he held in every promotion. More and more women are now coming forward to name their abusers in the British and Irish wrestling scene.
Joey Ryan and Marty Scurll have been accused of preying on underaged girls and Jordan Devlin accused of physically abusing an ex-girlfriend. More new accusations are coming through all the time now.

What the eff?? I've been holding off posting wrestling news, as there have been a lot of crazy stuff going on from wrestlers switching brands and people being taken off TV due to Twitter comments... but jeez
Wow he deleted his Twitter recently too.

He basically runs the number 3 promotion in America and is a pretty big star around the world.

And apparently the women who have spoken out about the abuse the abuse on the British scene have been contacted by people in America and told of abuses in the US market. This thing is blowing up.
Allegations have been made against Velveteen Dream of grooming underage boys. He's a NXT guy so he wouldn't be as well known as some main roster wrestlers. But a lot of people were sure would be the next big thing in WWE.

By domino Go To Post2nd time this year Dreams name has been in some mess…We talking Orlando Jordan NAMBLA stuff or "training and molesting" type of stuff? Both are terrible but it will speak to how far down the rabbit hole he is.
*Googles*
Oh shit. I haven't watched much NXT but do those nudes he sent remotely look like him?
By domino Go To Postpraise jesus Charlotte is off our TV for a couple monthsShe got injured?
By domino Go To Postpersonal time and some surgeryAha, praise indeed. Asuka's reign of terror cannot be stopped now!
By Dennis St. James Go To PostAEW good, WWE bad.Yay! Glad you were able to get things working!
This isn't sarcasm or humor, it's a fact.
Zelina Vega got fired.
Seemingly for wanting to unionize in light of the E cracking down on wrestlers streaming and personal business ventures
Lars and Dream are cool tho right?
Well done Vince. Well fucking done

We are talking about a company that has covered up murders and rapes, and does business with genocidal theocratic regimes.
By The Frankman Go To Postb-b-but independent contractors…That's right! They're independent contractors with no benefits, but have to adhere to strict company standards about innocuous things like streaming on Twitch. Cool company to work for. Strictly as an independent contractor that can't work anywhere else, of course.
By The Frankman Go To PostWhy am I still watching Jeff Hardy try to kill himself IN 2020?Oh. I see that Jeff was trying to outdo Matt vs. Sammy from All Out.
The wrestling was wild this week. Major AEW spoilers ahead.
Sting debuted and looks like he'll be working with Arn Anderson and Cody Rhodes.
Kenny Omega beat Jon Moxley for the world title. During the match the vice president of TNA came out and distracted Moxley which led to Omega finishing him off. Then Callis declared he's bringing the title to TNA and ran out of the building.
Vince is going to have a fucking fit.
