All Elite Wrestling

[Jordan]

I am still pretty stoked about Sting being in AEW. It's the Nostalgia of the whole idea. We've got Sting returning to rasslin on TNT, a channel where he had his greatest moments. We've got the voice that always put the passion of Sting over, Tony Schavonie. We've got a company that is run by the Son of Dusty Rhodes who ran WCW for many years and was always an intrigal part of it. And we've got an owner who also has nostalgia for those glory days, but of course all of the above want AEW go maintain some of that nostalgia but supercede to the most Elite level. Honestly Goldberg playing a similar role for AEW would have been a much bigger deal than him in WWE. We all know what WWE is using Goldberg for, a few extra clicks and views. That's it. They don't respect Goldberg for his legendary run, they still hate him for it. In AEW at least he would be viewed with a legit nostalgia for what he accomplished in WCW and on TNT. Goldberg in WWE is at this point just rehashing multiple failed runs and returns. He has had one great run for WWE and it meant a lot to the fans who grew up with him but it was fleeting none the less. AEW has proven in it's short existence to hold the legends of Wrestling in a higher reverence than WWE has. WWE holds those in reverence who are in the good graces of Vince McMahon and that is the only criteria that matters. It's likely Sting will never do a one on one in ring match, hopefully he'll do a Blood and Guts kick and punch match or something similar that would lead to an interesting story that could end with a cinematic brawl to out do anything we've seen like that before.

[Jordan]

On another note about Sting being a draw or not. He's more of a niche nostalgia draw that can make a lot of money selling his T-Shirts and getting decent ratings boosts. I can't say if he would boost attendence or not right now if that were a metric that mattered, but I know he wouldn't hurt. Amongst AEW fans he will be held to the highest standard of legend, because to fans who lived through his run in WCW that's what he is.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

I liked the initial debut and follow up promo from Sting. Since then, he just comes out and stares people down. It's getting old. I get that maybe he can't bump but at least get physically involved. Throw a punch, a back hand, a stinger splash, something.

[screech]

Ricky Starks in the Scorpion Death Lock would be cool, I think.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Yeah, Starks can definitely bump enough to make Sting look good. Hell, Arn has taken some shots. Sting doesn't have to take finishers or bumps to get physically involved. Taz can choke him out. Just something. I love Sting, but having him show up and just look at the heels as they cower for no reason is silly and a waste of him being there.

Yeah, I love Sting but I think having him turn up EVERY week when he can't get physically involved was a bit of a disservice.

And we're still 7 more Dynamites away from Revolution, which is presumably the soonest we'll see him in a match.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Sting has never been that great anyway. Always more than the sum of his of his parts. Let’s see how that goes at 61.

Dude was 10 when the moon landing happened, hahaha.

And people mock WWE for bringing out actual draw Goldberg? Yah, okay.

AEW fan here. Just wanted to let all y'all bitches know that AEW is by far the best Wrestling on TV in over 20 years and Val Venis fucking sucks.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Chris Jericho has come out and said he had Covid in September of last year. Fuuuuuuck this company. And fuck anyone who supports them.

And yes, Val Venis does fucking suck. He’d belong in AEW right now, next to the Tye Dillinger’s and Billy Gunn’s of the world. Not saying BG is as bad a human, but yeah, AEW is sooooo above hiring WWF mid-carders. Matt Hardy says hello.

So?

[Vastardikai]

So, who is the Women's Champion feuding with? There is only one program in that division, and it involves her and Rosa. the NWA Women's Champion is booked more often than the AEW Women's Champion. Just own up to it: Kenny's booking his fetishes on top and has no idea what he's doing.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Shida just finished up her feud with Abadon, which was ok. The problems Shida runs into is she's still learning English and can't really promo, there is only one interesting heel for her to feud with who's she's already beaten, and that heel is feuding with the highest potential star in the division in Thunder Rosa, who's being loaned out.

I agree that Omega can't book a lick and needs more oversight in what he's doing and planning.

[Evil Vito]

The whole "Kenny only books his fetishes" take is some lame, eye-rolling Cornette shit. Dude worked with the joshi wrestlers for years. He's probably more familiar than them than most of the other women on the roster. It was clear from all the early pressers that he wanted to make joshi a focal point of the division, hence Riho getting a push early on and Emi Sakura getting some decent airtime, Emi's highly respected in joshi circles and trained loads of the joshi women that were booked early on.

But then the pandemic hit and Shida was the only one who had actually moved stateside to work in AEW full time. It's fine that she's been pushed hard, I think she's really good. But Kenny hasn't done a good job of using the rest of the talent available to him. Toss in the fact he has to awkwardly shoehorn Brandi into angles now and then, and yeah. Women's division easily the most disappointing thing about AEW so far.

[Jordan]

Anna Jay, Tay Conti and Britt Baker are the best thing about AEW women's division by far. Riho was okay, Shida is really boring to me and I could care less about the rest. The NWA women help out quite a bit.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

I like Shida a lot and her learning English as quickly as she has is only going to help her. Anna Jay is gonna be really good. She's just really young/inexperienced.

[Evil Vito]

Yeah Anna’s steadily gotten better the past few months, I think her future is really bright. She’s still only like 22 as well.

Yes, he was working with them for years and is most familiar with them...because of his fetishes. Kubrick had them too, but he was actually good at his job and implementing his vision.

You basically made the same points as a Cornette would, you just used softer language because you’re more of a pussy.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Meltzer and Alvarez covering for Jericho makes me sick. Fuck this sloppy shop in that shithole country.

Yeah that would be a good "YouTube tease" for anyone who wants to see extra stuff (they do use YouTube a lot so that would fit right in, I think).

Wardlow turns 33 today. That actually surprised me. Not that that's old or anything but I just assumed he was in his mid-20s and new to the business. Had no idea he'd been in the indies for five years before AEW.

Good interview w/ Renee and Tony Khan

[Bad News Gertner]

Tony's twitter is fascinating. It's a combination of AEW boot lickers with angry Fulham and to a lesser extent angry Jags fans all interacting with each other.

[Bad News Gertner]

"Tony, thank you for creating AEW. Wednesday nights are must see!"

Same post a couple of replies down the thread

"SIGN A FUCKING STRIKER!"

[xrodmuc316]

I dislike him, he is legit a nerd that uses his dad's money to sign people who have to keep pretending they like him. Zack Ryder didn't fist pump with him, and so he didn't get a contract. #FACT

Also, I don't know much about the Fulham team, but the Jaguars are a joke. They get high draft picks because they suck, then either pick busts or the good players demand a trade out of there after a few years.

[Bad News Gertner]

Fulham have won 2 out of the first 17 games in the EPL. They are 18th out of 20.

He also has a habit of only posting about Fulham or Jacksonville when they win or tie. NEVER when they lose.

Imagine if WWE only posted about NXT when it won! About 4 times a year, right?

I saw a post earlier this week with some AEW cultist saying this whole Impact/AEW collaboration was to placate the ego of Cody. I was like "wait, what?" Guy also claimed that Khan was Cody's puppet.

But that is one of the weirder things I notice: Cody will always take the heat for the shit that Omega and the Bucks actually do. And that, no matter what he does, Cody isn't gonna belong in this group.

That the overwhelming irrational love for AEW paired with the WWE hatred and fear is lame.

Goes all the way back to the AEW rally when a few aholes went to Smackdown afterwards, acting like aholes, getting kicked out, and then saying they were kicked out because they were wearing AEW gear.

Then AEW backed the story to promote how scared WWE is of AEW.

The whole situation was bullshit, there were people in that Smackdown crowd wearing AEW stuff who weren't acting like assholes, and they didn't get kicked out.

It's the same mentality that frames posts here. "OMG AEW GOT MORE REPLIES THAN WWE, IN THEIR AND YOUR FACES!".

I like the term in that tweet, Cultist, perfect description.

I can't speak for anybody else, but it is not AEW that is annoying. It's the level of hype that some fans are giving it. They have decided this is the greatest thing ever, and can't even entertain an actual discussion.

I made a post about fanboys rallying around the idea that WWE wouldn't let 20 people acting like assholes into Smackdown who also had AEW match on.

Instead of having a conversation that MAYBE it was about the way the people were acting and not what they were wearing, a mod edited my post into a poo poo joke.

That is the perfect example of why people are annoyed with all things AEW already.

Will I watch it when it starts, of course. Do I hope they succeed and put on great shows, of course. Do I need to be blindly loyal to a company that has not had a single show and argue with anyone who isn't, of course not.

Actually, if you read a bit, it's not that I dislike AEW. I dislike marking out over everything AEW because it's AEW.

I've been obnoxious posting exactly like everybody else? Somebody FINALLY gets it! This is how I have felt for 2 years, that the level of hanging on AEW's nuts is obnoxious. Since I'm doing it for WWE and against AEW instead of vice-versa, it's pissed people off FAR more than when I was just pointing out the over reactions. Mini Vans and Horses and Hands in Pockets, etc. is not as great as this brainwashed cult hypes it to be.

Everybody can keep being willfully blind when it comes to all things AEW, but man do the exact same thing against AEW and look out.

[xrodmuc316]

Well that's neither ironic or factual. Do you have a better take or are you happy with using this one as your best?

Enjoying annoying posts but then hating annoying posts without even realizing the double standard when the only difference is AEW/WWE is pretty ironic.

Since you want to make your stand on what irony is, you probably should make sure you know what you are talking about...

Socratic irony—a method of revealing an opponent’s ignorance by pretending to be ignorant yourself and mirroring behavior antithetically including asking probing questions.

:wave:

Socratic irony is, wait for it, an ironic term and it only works if you actually possess at least a modicum of intelligence in the first place. You're constantly trying to "own" people and justify your shitty posting as a philosophical experiment, maybe if you didnt keep trying and failing so hard so frequently nobody would bring it up.

Yeah, I made them up. If they don't exist why do I have other people agree with me. Just because you don't doesn't mean I made it up.

You know what is whining to me, a bunch of crying because somebody posted something you don't agree with REPEATEDLY.

Literally you are crying because I don't nut my pants to all things AEW. You cry and call names and stomp your feet. You react as if you can't think of anything but "waaaaah this doo doo man can't post like I want him to!"

Remember folks, if you like something, and you talk about that thing with other people who also like that thing, you’re in a cult.

[XL]

Actually, if you read a bit, it's not that I dislike AEW. I dislike marking out over everything AEW because it's AEW.

I've been obnoxious posting exactly like everybody else? Somebody FINALLY gets it! This is how I have felt for 2 years, that the level of hanging on AEW's nuts is obnoxious. Since I'm doing it for WWE and against AEW instead of vice-versa, it's pissed people off FAR more than when I was just pointing out the over reactions. Mini Vans and Horses and Hands in Pockets, etc. is not as great as this brainwashed cult hypes it to be.

Everybody can keep being willfully blind when it comes to all things AEW, but man do the exact same thing against AEW and look out.

Dude you’re wrong. People don’t dislike you because you’re obnoxious posting about WWE, they dislike you because they know it’s not genuine.

You don’t actually like the majority of what WWE put out because, well, you simply can’t because it’s mostly garbage. Now you might think that the majority of AEW is garbage and that, I think, is fine. But you’re not really criticising AEW, you’re disingenuously praising WWE because you don’t like AEW fanboys, of which their are very few on these boards from what I can tell.

[XL]

Now, Noid does criticise the actual product but fucking hell he’s overbearing with it.

Yeah that argument didn't work when I brought it up multiple times, that I am not just criticizing AEW for the hell of it, because if you look I also criticized stupid things about WWE shows too. Nobody ever questioned my motives in WWE threads, but criticize AEW and people jump down your throats.

I brought that up so many times, and the replies were always genius levels of retorts like "fuck you, your a dumbass, etc. " because that is all the cultist are capable of.

You want to know how bad the blinders are here, search my posts, I said multiple times I'm just posting like AEW fans do, but for WWE.

It was never some big secret. I guess it is hard to decode "I am just posting Pro WWE like AEW posts here are" between all the "xrod trying gotchas, he is so fucking stupid haha high five yeah, what a cunt".

Yeah, dude, I’m not searching your posts. We seem to be in total agreement about what you’re doing. And actually I agree that the most obnoxious AEW “cultists” are obnoxious “cultists”.

No, someone else would have to disagree rationally just a little bit, for example "I don't think I agree with that".

Then we would both join together in flipping out, and replying to the reply with personal attacks and swear words, while egging each other on like 4th graders, then we pretend we won.

That would be akin to Cultist behavior.

Cult - a small religious group that is not part of a larger and more accepted religion and that has beliefs regarded by many people as extreme or dangerous. : a situation in which people admire and care about something or someone very much or too much. : a small group of very devoted supporters or fans.

No one here loses it when someone doesn't like AEW. Everyone who watches/enjoys it also has criticism for what's happening on the show. You have once again made up a thing to be mad about so you don't have to have actual discussions.

Like you, I'm also not searching all my old posts. Although, go look at the very first Dynamite thread. I said NXT was better, that night, and you would think I pissed in their mouths. Not that AEW sucked, not that anybody who likes it was an idiot. Just that that night NXT had a better show.

It's been that way since AEW became a thing.

[Jordan]

I think I have blasted AEW for plenty of things in the past. Still they are by far the most satisfying company to watch right now by a long shot. Usually when I've posted here about things I've found stupid about AEW's product or booking I get a couple of agreements or even a discourse and conversation going. Blindly loving AEW because it's AEW is absolutely annoying. But any fan that would do that isn't the same kind of fan as me. I am pretty stoked for Revolution now that they have announced Sting and Darby in a Street Fight against Team Taz. That's gonna be sick.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

People regularly point out things they don't like about AEW in the live tv threads. Miro's entire run and it being underwhelming and aimless gets pointed out every time he's on tv.

I don’t care for AEW much at all and still find xrod to be nonsensical with his arguments while acting like the smartest guy in the room. Maybe a cult-like pro-AEW agenda isn’t the issue here.

So I actually did. Sheds a fair bit of light on things.

First match of the "war" easily won by NXT.

:rofl:

NXT first shot fired!! HOLY SHIT!!!!!!

Meanwhile on AEW, they are setting up their world title fued during a commercial break for Arby's :lol:

LOL@ JR and Tony arguing about if it's cool to say "the man gravity forgot"

"Well it's on his twitter"

That was a good back and forth.

JR just doesn't come across well anymore. Tony is far superior.

Sigh, I was most hyped about that match coming in, but that was fairly average.

I know Hangman is one of the Elite, but I think it's time to pull back on the presenting him as a top talent for the time being. He is too bland and if he can't get a barn burner with Pac, something is clearly missing.

I'd much rather a wrestler lose 6 close matches in a row then win lose win lose win lose. It tells a far better story.

If he is getting vaccinations to close the show it would be the greatest fuck you Vince McMahon thing ever lol

:lol:

I mean clearly Bucks/Omega are losing tonight since they aren't cosplaying Street Fighter right?

Hope he didn't cut himself, bout to get more staff infections...

Gotta love Impact Wrestling and 2015 WWE Main Event closing the show :rofl:

Should they have closed the show with the stars that have been made throughout their 0 other weeks of television?

You are such an awkward try hard. Lol
Rational response.

I thought Noid got a name change, to be honest.

Spoiler, NXT was better.

No one cares about this anti AEW gimmick you're trying to establish
First response to you. 200+ posts in and fairly polite.

A.k.a. the truth. NXT was a better show, that's not Anti AEW, nice attempt though.

358 posts to 154 posts and the top trend on Twitter all night. TPWW and the world have spoken! AEW WINS!!!
Fan clearly being facetious.

Tweets and posts are more important than characters and matches. Good to know!

Facts don’t give a fuck about your shit opinions. All about interest garnered.

AEW WINNNSSSSSsuck it.
And again. And you bite. Hard.

You mean the same tweets and posts that WWE repeatedly hypes up and focuses on during their own shows, instead of focusing on improving their own shitty, repetitive, and uninteresting WWE characters and matches that WWE shits the bed with, and then usually later actually shits on by their awful booking, writing, and commentary, especially once they move up to their own premier shows? Those same tweets and posts?

So your argument is that because WWE hypes social media that what, I should forget what I watched and just say AEW had a better show than NXT?

I am not sure what you are trying to say. Tweets matter because WWE says they matter, Tweets matter because AEW had more?

One show was better than the other show. Tweets don't mean anything.

NXT had the best match of the night.
NXT had the best tag match of the night.
NXT had the best women's match of the night.

AEW had more tweets.

Yeah, AEW wins, clearly :rofl::rofl::rofl:

xrod still confused as to why his subjective opinion isn’t more important than which was more popular.

I bet most people here found the matches on AEW last night better than the matches on Raw or Smackdown recently. So if he wants to use that metric and ignore which draws more people then AEW has defeated WWE’s MAIN PRODUCT!!!

AEW WINS AGAIN!!!

https://media.tenor.com/images/bcc346dd645ef34c5eed0e22fe3196fe/tenor.gif
Fan, he’s got that facetious streak.

Really? So my saying this one episode of NXT was better than this one episode of AEW to you means "AEW sucked and Raw and Smackdown are way better"???

You are just making all sorts of incorrect conclusions.

Just so you know, I rank wrestling shows this week as follows:
1. NXT
2. AEW
3. RAW

NXT went all out THIS week and had a better show THIS week. It's literally all I said.

XRod, it's also that you're just a gaping asshole of a poster.
So this wasn’t very nice but points to some previous history of being a less than stellar poster.

It's clear you all have such bias for AEW that you can't even consider being impartial.

I say NXT had a better show, and your fandom takes that as I hate AEW, and your best response is name calling, cause that is how to properly defend your position.

I don't know how to make it any clearer other then I enjoyed NXT more this week. Anything else you think that means about my overall opinion on AEW is your own mind's doing.

Your months of desperate, awkward, shitting on AEW for reasons that make no sense as if you’re weirdly insecure on WWE’s behalf is more the reason you’re a ridiculous person. And why you are being ridiculed as such.
Ah, so it’s not quite like you approached this show with an open mind after all?

Except it is hate and bias when just because somebody says NXT has a better show all these AEW super supporters have shitfits.

I'm not the one in this thread calling people douchebags or gaping assholes.

Saying I'm shitting on AEW for no reason. There is a very specific reason, and that's because saying anything but AEW is the greatest thing even works multiple users here into an absolute uproar where they just make up all this horrible stuff I said about AEW.

I got this much anger by saying NXT had a better show. It's all I said, and these guys are going out of there ways to count how many posts I made in the NXT thread, which oh by the way, is the same amount I made in this AEW thread.

You know what's also weird, when I posted praise and excitement about AEW in the NXT thread, nobody lost their shit.

When I takes about things NXT did that I didn't like, nobody lost their shit.

But God forbid I don't blow loads to AEW, well then I'm the biased one.

Hardcore AEW fans suck and are the biggest drawback to what otherwise is a mostly enjoyable product.
Multiple users in “absolute uproar”? There’s like 2’guys that have said anything to you at all. One is clearly trolling you and being very successful at it. The other one called you a nasty name. And nobody reacted to anything you said in the NXT thread negative or otherwise much in the same way nobody reacted to anything you said in the AEW thread either for the first 200 posts. And also, it seems like a good chunk of the NXT thread was just you and Noid.

When you start saying dumb things to try to hate on NXT in the same manner, I will be sure to ridicule for it. Like, say... if you switched and seriously began posting stuff like "Another win in the ratings for AEW! NXT's response?" and then posted a tweet from an NXT wrestler and try to use it as a "gotcha" toward NXT, I would shit on you for saying something stupid. Kinda like I did when you made this post...



That's why you catch hell when you try to shit on AEW and others don't. Because you're a try-hard. And you say really dumb, nonsensical things in a smug manner on NXT's behalf. And it's gross to people.

These interactions suggest you and your opinions were largely ignored until you went a little “harder” on the “criticism” (I use the speech marks as you actually offered very little in the way of critique one way or another). You got a reaction and you seem to have doubled down on the act a number of times. Guess it worked?

And let's be honest XL, in all of those quotes, how many were me calling another user a gaping asshole or whatever the hell they said?

Half of those posts were in praise of AEW.

And 20 hand picked quotes does not prove much of anything other than exactly what I said, there was never hard criticism at AEW from me. I was certainly more critical of WWE before AEW even existed.

The entire premise that I just constantly slammed AEW is wrong, but even if I did, I still didn't insult anybody here did I? It's always been posting about wrestling from me. That is what nobody seems to grasp, and haven't for 2 years.

Criticizing something AEW did, or saying somebody is being a fanboy (22 months) vs posting memes and purposefully overhyping WWE (2 months) is not the same thing.

Are we done yet?

And Screech, do you have any thoughts yourself? You are the king of waiting for somebody else to post something, then just agreeing with an included insult. Probably just a bot :rofl:

do you think what you were doing was funny, though? satire usually relies on some sort of humor. you fall flat on your face almost every time.

No, I was purposefully being overly pro WWE to show how being overly pro AEW is lame.

I didn't change the conversation, we are very much still talking about how awful you are. You're claiming you have only been a terrible poster "on purpose" for two months when you've been doing this for at least a year and your primary point of motivation is an event that happened almost two years ago. Where is your consistency?

Also I shouldn't have to point this out bit you are incredibly dense so listen - you do not make me angry or "pissed", you do not have any sway on my emotions whatsoever. The very notion that I'm an "AEW cultist" is absurd and only serves to make you look even dumber, which at this point should really be impossible. If you're actually so very smart it shouldn't be too difficult for you to figure out why, right?

Hope Smeat is ok :( hasn’t been on in a few weeks

Could be he got fed up with TPWW, he’s quit before. But I think he’s also had some health issues before so nowadays you can never know for sure

[RP]

I think the Inner Circle is flawed so i'm going to solve it.

First of all, Jericho and MJF have to go. So what happens is that Jericho and MJF begin to campaign to the rest of the Inner Circle why they should lead them. This leads to a match. MJF wins. But IC dont trust MJF at all.

Sammy Guevera gets Ortiz and Santana together and they decide that they should be the Inner Circle and they're gonna add 1 more guy. Hager still wants Jericho in and he still hates Wardlow. Sammy, Ortiz and Santana love Wardlow but hate MJF. At a PPV, Hager fights MJF in Jericho's honor and to get him back in the Inner Circle. Hager loses, but then Inner Circle turns on MJF, rejecting his leadership. Wardlow destroys Hager in the process and then turns as if he's going to help MJF, but instead he turns on MJF and becomes the 4th man in the Inner Circle.

Inner Circle should only be 4 guys IMO. MJF is way too good to need to be in a stable right now. Jericho is fat and out of shape and that leaves 1 spot for the " Big Guy Enforcer " of the stable. Wardlow makes the stunning turn. Sammy, Ortiz and Santana choose Wardlow over Hager.

Sammy is the leader of Inner Circle.

This gives a well deserved huge push to Sammy and puts way more focus on Ortiz, Santana and Wardlow instead of spending time having to hear fake fans sing Jericho's shitty music for 2 minutes every week.

[Evil Vito]

X-Rod with some real knee slappers

[Damian Rey 2.0]

I think Sammy and Jericho are gonna end up turning face and MJF will stay heel. He's gonna be incredibly useful as I think he is going to help make both Sammy, and eventually, Wardlow, with big babyface turns in the future.

Sammy leading the IC and kicking out both MJF and Jericho makes MJF a babyface and I think he's got a lot more has in the tank as a heel right now.

Sammy v MJF is where I think their eventually going and I'm excited to see it.

It’s not mainstream. At all. It’s going to make it harder for mainstream wrestling. It’s going to go the way of roller-derby where it ends up as a shoot played mainly by lesbians in small rinks.

It's pretty inarguable that AEW is the most mainstream wrestling promotion other than WWE. You could make a case for New Japan I suppose, but they aren't mainstream with American audiences more than AEW is.

Omega/Kenta lose to Mox/Archer, Mox pins Omega.

Kenta over Mox at NJPW Strong for IWGP with help from Kenny.

Kenny vs Mox at Revolution

NJPW still want to do their MSG show that got cancelled last year. Probably not gonna happen this year either but maybe 2022.

I assume they'll want to do a standalone show but shit, imagining it turning into an AEW/NJPW supercard and Omega/Ibushi happens there. I'd spare no expense to be there.

Without WWE doing Mania to feed from I think having AEW join up would be the smartest move possible. I can't imagine at this point NJPW drawing over 5k to the Garden at this time. They've cooled off greatly in 2020. I'd think it's still a tough venue for both AEW and NJPW to sell out legit but it would be a worthy effort.

I feel they can't really bring in Naito, because Mox is the only top guy (actual Main Eventer) that can share a ring with Naito and not look like a total dork in comparison. Besides him, maybe Page and one or two of the hosses (who aren't Main Eventers).

[Damian Rey 2.0]

I'd add Omega to that list.

He had some really good to great matches with Naito during his time in NJPW.

[Jordan]

The thing that stinks about NJPW is that if Omega and The Bucks started working for NJPW again is that it would be the exact same product as they had two or three years ago. Because now the product is the same as it was 2 or 3 years ago except without the AEW guys. NJPW gotta push new stars.

This is ridiculous, not because Naito is not incredible, but because Rey Fenix is a god damn shooting star bursting through the sky and if he puts in his greatest performance of all time, he could eventually be as good as PAC

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I don’t think there’s anyone in NJPW who could work with Naito better than Fenix or PAC

Every once in awhile they try and then take their foot off the gas. Jay White and EVIL come immediately to mind.

Ideally they'll use the bigger names they have access to and help showcase their younger guys.

[Nark Order]

Takahashi vs Cowboy
Okada vs Cody
Omega vs Naito
Moxley vs KENTA
GOD vs FTR

So many things that I want in my life.

[Nark Order]

Fuck it. Tanahashi vs Jericho and Ibushi vs PAC also. A man can dream.

[Jordan]

Jericho vs Suzuki would please me

[Jordan]

Pac vs Ibushi

[Ultra Mantis]

The biggest benefit to an AEW partnership for New Japan is going to be bolstering BOSJ and to a much greater extent World Tag League. Borrowing a few tag teams from the talent pool for a month would be a great benefit there. FTR, Santana & Ortiz, either of the Dark Order teams, Lucha Bros. TH2 for the super jrs. All fresh. I'm sure Gedo would like Best Friends back so he can finish up the unhinged Chuck Taylor angle which never got a payoff. Maybe that's just me though.

Jungle Boy, Pac, Fenix, Cassidy, Starks, Darby and so on could do some good work with the Jrs. Hiromu or SHO versus anyone right now is going to be fantastic.

Who said anything about a job? Plus she's in Japan wrestling in....Japan. Unless she wins the tournament she isn't really getting a spot.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Remember when we were promised a sports-based presentation? Their biggest signings in the past six months have been a literal child and a scat fetishist. Wrestling in 2021 — such good shit!

[Mr. Nerfect]

Lol, his company kicks people who wants shit to make sense in the nuts and its fans are like “Yeah! Alienate more people!” :lol:

Huge fan of Corny, BTW. He should just probably rest sometimes before his heart splits in half.

I also think that one of the key things about his Itoh Tweets is that he flippantly said, "while plenty of talented wrestlers sit idle", or words to that effect.

If he was genuinely wanting what's best for wrestling, he would have used that Tweet (and any others) to put over and promote some of those talented wrestlers, rather than using his platform to put down others. But he's not about making wrestling better, he's about drawing jaded older fans toward him and away from the current product. He's actively detrimental to wrestling, and has been for some time.

WWE just plays hardball with a cookie dough included; they don't care what AEW does so they just do as they do and they'll be on their way.

AEW is trying to look innovative or special or new or whatever but the reality is wwe will always have a little more to be ahead of the curve.

He's just one of these guys you have to accept for his benefits as well as his downsides. There'a no separating them, it's all one package. On one hand he's gotta be one of the most if not the most passionate wrestling fan thay has ever lived and IMO top 5 wrestling storyteller ever. Almost nobody else I'd rather listen to tell an old road story. On the other hand, he's just a bitter cunt about the wrestling business. He can't accept that times change and that what he once viewed as wrestling isn't going to be back. He can either adapt or complain and he's chosen the complain route.

Overall, I absolutely love the guy. Is he good for the current wrestling product? No, probably not.
