Decided to make a new thread so we're not bouncing around all these old year threads.
-Takeshita is gonna be a big star if Tony can stop pushing Adam Cole for 5 seconds
-Miro is still missing
-Sasha Banks and Naomi walked out

By domino Go To Postsasha and naomi stripped of the belts and suspended indefinitely whewFree Sasha
So the bloodline has everything now?
Both Tag belts and the 2 main belts, Roman is noshowing the next PPV and the Usos maybe too?
What is this company..

By Lupercal Go To PostQuite telling they only did something so extreme when it's black women…Vince has definitely dropped at least 5 racial slurs in the last 24 hours
By DY_nasty Go To PostIs the AEW option real?If Vince wants to be pretty he could freeze their contracts until they resign or something.
Think their contracts are coming up this year too.
By Lupercal Go To PostQuite telling they only did something so extreme when it's black women…They did similar stuff to Austin and Ultimate Warrior and they were both bigger draws. How soon we forget The Rock cutting a promo just to bury Austin for "taking his ball and going home."
By DY_nasty Go To PostIs the AEW option real?WWE has almost certainly frozen their contracts, so anything that might happen would be a while. And it's probably not an option for Naomi anyway. It could be for Sasha if she wanted to continue wrestling, but I'm not really sure AEW does much for her. Their women's' division doesn't get much TV time.
By Lupercal Go To PostIf Vince wants to be pretty he could freeze their contracts until they resign or something.Sasha is up in a couple months iirc
Think their contracts are coming up this year too.
Sasha could go do genre TV and be fine though. Capeshit and sci fi stuff. I figured she was headed that way for a while now anyway.
AEW women’s division is underutilized though but maybe Sasha will make them put some more direction into it. They have a problem where their champions in every division seem like afterthoughts to me.
Like Britt is more prominent now without the belt than with it. Hangman is barely on. Nobody cares about Jurassic express they suck. Jade is stuck on Fridays. I’d reorganize the whole show personally
TK needs some serious booking help, man is stretched to thin with all his jobs.
Dynamite & Rampage is still superior to Raw & Smackdown though but some things are starting to grind on me.
Champions should always be featured on your shows but Rosa is maybe still injured I think for matches?
She's a decent promo so just have her do those things, JE can do promo and matches so why are they missing for half the month.
I was hoping Regal would start helping out in a backstage role but we'll see what happens after DoN at this point. They've got 4 good to great feuds leading up to it and the ppv itself will be great in match quality.
AEW need some good video package people and some tightening up. Stop cramming those cards so full.

I made a post about it in the other place but AEW booking has made the show highly skippable lately. The roster bloat is way too real.
By data Go To PostI made a post about it in the other place but AEW booking has made the show highly skippable lately. The roster bloat is way too real.They have way too many people and not nearly enough TV time. The women's division is an after thought and mostly happens on YouTube. The Sammy/Tay angle they've been running for months is unbelievable garbage and they won't give up on it.
Also, Adam Cole gets way too much time every week.
I'll be happy if any team but Lucha Express wins the titles. Swerve and Lee's finisher might be my favorite tag finisher since AMW's double team
Apparently the hot rumour right now is MJF no showing the Fanfest meet & greet and not returning AEWs contacts.
There's a lot of conflicting info floating around so take this with a lot of salt.

By domino Go To PostMan I hope AEW gets better bookers the next time Page is champ. He got a terrible runHe ain't ever getting the strap again. Not with this roster and more dudes jumping ship
Page's run started off pretty good but he kind of got overshadowed by Punk.
Love Page's chase for the title though but he needs Omega.
Punk's run will be short anyway.

I think if Punk is going to retire, it'll either be Danielson or MJF at this point.
Dude is really living the 2022 version of his ride to stardom.

By Lupercal Go To PostI think if Punk is going to retire, it'll either be Danielson or MJF at this point.I think it's going to be Eddie. He's the perfect guy to give a short reign to and then he can get screwed out of it by a MJF or similar.

Damn, Punk's teary eyed promo was great and sad at the same time.
Maybe Mox wins the interim title and loses it to Tanahashi? I would give it to Miro or Eddie though, nice short reign until Punk's back.

Dave Meltzer is reporting that Cody Rhodes injured himself training this weekend. He's heard that it might be a torn pectoral. If that's the case then WWE should really pull him from the match with Rollins at Hell in a Cell. But Cody is so old school that he may try and wrestle with it anyway.
Also, it's rumoured that Bryan Danielson might be injured as well. Punk, Cody and Danielson all injured really fucks up the main event scene for WWE and AEW.

Damn that sucks, good thing AEW still has number one workhorse Moxley.
And they have enough talent to fill those spots.
Please don't push Adam Cole anymore TK.

If Cody is out for a while, not sure what WWE really does. Their shows have been super lackluster since they unified the titles, but they've at least had Cody to carry Raw and he seemed like one of the few believable opponents they had for Roman. They've really booked themselves into a corner with the Bloodline. Bleh.
By Lupercal Go To PostDamn that sucks, good thing AEW still has number one workhorse Moxley.Yeah, I'm a bit tired of Cole as well. He's a great wrestler, but has gotten a bit stale. There's on so many 'Booms' and 'bay bays' you can take. Should look at what Rollins has done in recent years with regards to keeping his gimmick fresh.

Punk was supposed to take on Tanahashi at the Forbidden Door PPV. I reckon we might see Moxley Vs Tanahashi for the Interim World Title instead.
AEW will have their eliminator matches and the winner of such faces Mox in a number 1 contender match the week before the PPV. Over at NJPW Tanahashi faces Hiroki Goto to decide who from New Japan will get the opportunity.
That match is one of the most stupid things I've ever seen a wrestler put themself through. It also puts even more pressure on others to work with a serious injury like Cody just did.
He’s nuts for it but that was some iconic shit
It’s going to be amazing when he comes back for the Rumble and Mania season

Yeah the pop is going to be massive when he's back around Rumble time indeed.
But what now, Seth looks like a massive dork losing again.
Reigns is still off for the summer, KO is stuck in a jobber feud, Lashley is maybe done with his jobber feud, Judgement Day vs Not Bullet Club will probably go on for one or 2 months, Orton & Riddle who knows, the Usos lol.

Seth has looked like a massive dork for about a year now. I hate this era of him and I hope it’s the end. Dude needs to go back to the drawing board this shit sucks
By Lupercal Go To PostYeah the pop is going to be massive when he's back around Rumble time indeed.Apparently the plan is Orton vs Reigns at Summer Slam and then Drew vs Roman in Wales, but that still means their singular champ across both shows is basically off TV for another two months. I also don't buy for a second that they'd have Randy go over. They should because he hasn't been this hot for a long time, but he'll just be another guy fed to Roman.

Really just seems like WWE is in a holding pattern for a while. I have no doubt that Cody is winning the Rumble and finally ending this thing at Mania, though.
A vacuum means time to build up new stars right?
Right???
*taps mic*
Is this thing on?
Anyway I’d press forward with Lashley, start to build up Riddle, and stop this stupid Ezekiel shit and bring Elias back with a proper push. Also build up Montez Ford. Let’s see who steps it up.

I do genuinely think this is the time to keep forward with Lashley. I went to a Raw taping a few weeks back and was shocked by how over Bobby is right now. They could do a lot worse than putting the Raw title back on him.
They should look to maybe call up somebody like Carmelo Hayes or the Creed brothers, though.
