Punk is a bit cringy. He hasn’t been there in a long-ass time and is kind of desperately trying to position everyone against WWE, whom he did try and seek employment from since this “war” started. He’s kind of appropriating the dramas of these women into his story, which is totally uncalled for. It’s going to look even more awkward if Sasha works things out with WWE and leaves him holding his nuts in the wind.

Mr. Nerfect

I’m not sure how keen Sasha Banks is to sign with a company that steadily pushes a guy who said he wants to rape her. I’m sure she’s just dying to get into a locker room with women who actively bang the guy too.

Any "cool factor" that AEW had was ruined by Tony Khan hugging and tweeting his way in the annals of Wrestlecrap. The stupid indy/Chikara/PWG booking on national TV is one deadly sin that seems palatable for enough people. But now with super cool Triple Haitch leading WWE, Rapist Vince isn't leading the show anymore and the fans are going to start to jump back where the nostalgia and history really matters.

The best thing that someone like Punk, Danielson, Mox or Jericho could do is really take the risk to tell Tony Khan that he's ruining this project which could have possibly been a really great product. Just like Vince was the cancer that needed to leave WWE in the end, it's already apparent that the same situation is happening at AEW.

Rosa was wearing a sand bag shirt on dynamite. I liked rosa to begin with when they just booked her as a fiery wrecking machine. Her title run has been meh namely due to her inability to promo combined with poor storytelling for the division.

They need to find a way to get Cargill to the women’s world title scene. She’s far more interesting than pretty much anybody else they have.

I’d go with Stat. As for Jade, I’d rather her not eat a pin to lose the belt. So maybe she drops it in a 3 way that gives her an out. I’d keep her undefeated until she drops the world title. Ideally they feed her Britt before putting her over Rosa for the belt.

This past Friday on “AEW Rampage,” a newcomer to the promotion was granted a “championship eliminator” match against the current Interim AEW World Champion, Jon Moxley. That individual — Mance Warner — is well-known on the independent wrestling scene through companies like Game Changer Wrestling (GCW) and Major League Wrestling (MLW). However, to the audiences watching at home that don’t keep up with indie wrestlers, Warner may have felt like a random opponent for Mox when several other contracted stars could be put in the position to earn a future title shot.

This seems to be how former TNT Champion Miro is also feeling, as he took to Twitter and asked, “Who’s this guy that is fighting for the title?” The AEW star could have found the answer by texting a colleague or using an internet search engine. Still, it appears he wanted to ask the question to emphasize that Warner is essentially an unknown character to casual AEW viewers.

The notion that Miro is frustrated with his position in AEW doesn’t end there. After a Twitter user commented on the post and asked, “Are you still in AEW? It seems you had it better in WWE,” Miro would like the tweet.

Sounds like somebody misses Papa H :rofl:

He could be big if he goes back to WWE.... Got that advantage of not being there for awhile.

Guys like Kevin Owens or whatever, sure... Triple H could start pushing him again, but after so many years of being "just a guy" and being jerked around so much it would be like "who cares?"

But Rusev would have the "advantage" of having been gone, so he can come back "refreshed".... push that guy on return and it can be believable. As opposed to if he was around in WWE all this time in which case it would be "I'm not buying him as suddenly now he's main event"

The worked shoot made it look like things were working out between MJF and AEW, but it was actually a really terrible idea for an angle. There being no follow-up makes me think, increasingly so, that it was possibly just a “best foot forward” kind of thing. Let’s put it out there, create a buzz, get it on our TV instead of it being a backstage rumor, etc. Plus it has kind of cooled the whole “what is MJF going to do?” thing off. If that was the plan launched internally from AEW, it’s kind of sly.

It would not surprise me to see Triple H buy out MJF’s contract at this point.

Sepholio
08-07-2022, 06:09 PM
I don't think HHH could buy MJFs contract out honestly. We know he could afford it, but that requires TK to not be petty and hold him for the duration. If there is enough truth in this whole thing to even lead to HHH attempting a buyout, then that promo probably pissed TK off enough to be vindictive about it.

If there is enough truth in this whole thing to even lead to HHH attempting a buyout, then that promo probably pissed TK off enough to be vindictive about it.

I think TK knew what MJF was going to say. He listens to Cornette’s podcast — he would have known what was coming. But I think they knew MJF was going home (at least for a bit), and maybe counting on heads cooling off and things to be worked out.

There are people saying that MJF, Ethan Page and whoever else is pissed off at AEW forming a stable. Eh. Who cares? It’s still such a weird direction to take with something that was already working.

At some point, TK probably needs to think about AEW’s budget. MJF is eating a lot of money to stay home and not contribute. If Triple H comes up and wants to buy out certain deals for 75c on the dollar or even at full price, it might be advisable that he takes it.

I understand why these companies are reluctant to let people out of their deals though. I don’t like it from the independent contractor’s perspective, but you don’t want Randy Orion to be able to give you two weeks notice. MJF seems like a “special” case though. But will either side set the precedent?

I do wonder if anyone has actually asked for their official release from AEW yet? TK seems extra careful about NDAs and the like.

Mr. Nerfect
08-07-2022, 06:30 PM
There’s also nothing that strictly forbids AEW and WWE from sharing talent. I mean, obviously their contracts prevent them from doing it without their company’s permission, and it would be highly unusual, but if Triple H and Nick Khan really want to use, say, Daniel Bryan — there’s no reason they can’t go to TK and get him to sign off on Danielson being able to work certain WWE dates/angles. We did see Jericho, Big Show and Bryan in those John Cena clips a few weeks ago. It’d be just like that but with live promos and/or wrestling.

It’d save both companies money. They could pay Bryan $200k for a select amount of dates per year, as opposed to millions to be exclusive. If WWE were willing to lend guys like Edge, AJ and Finn Balor to AEW, that saves them too. It’d be good PR for both companies to play nice — especially from WWE’s end.

If MJF shows up in the front row of a Monday Night Raw, I wouldn’t take it to mean he’s definitely left AEW and has signed a WWE deal.

I think the first few years of AEW TK had some long-terms plans with booking but it seems like there aren't really any long-term plans now to me.

You've got a large roster, pick some people and put them on your main show, consistently, and let the audience know who is a big deal and who is a medium deal. The use of Hangman post World Title is bizarre and Miro is still being used badly like he was in WWE.

You cannot keep putting people on Dynamite for a week or two and then banishing them to YouTube and Rampage for 3-4 months, that isn't consistency in booking.

Yes, I do click "View Post" to see what you have wrote most of the time.

These posts were less than 3 hours apart. Lol

I failed miserably, clearly

Oh, but you posted a rep sheet to PROVE it this time in the most blatantly awkward attempt to “prove” a lie imaginable. Seriously, the fact that you thought that was genius is telling.

And of course you’re desperate for ME to block YOU so that you can derp without consequence. Holy hell, you’re easy to read. Lol

Malakai Black has been dealing with a serious back issue for the past year and up until 3 months ago he thought it might cause him to retire.

It's all better now apparently, but it might explain why he tends to go a while between matches which in turn might be why some of Malakai/House of Black stories tend to feel stop and start with lots of vignettes.

It’s really hard to think of a single person who has been spotlighted better in AEW than WWE.

I wish more people would consider the possibility that more wrestling =/= good. AEW and TNA actually reinforce the paradigm of WWE being able to do basically whatever they want. There should be an alternative that doesn’t have its youngest and brightest looking to jump ship.

I’m adamant that Jade not eat a pin. And I think for Hayder, the story is her chasing Britt, not the other way around. Maybe book a 3 way between Jade, Britt and Hayder, and that’s where you turn Britt on Hayder, who eats the pin.

Gets the belt off Jade without her getting pinned, gets a belt back in Britt, and starts a new storyline with a babyfaced Hayder chasing.

Page wanted to embarrass Omega, and what better way then to pretend he was some directionless cowboy drunk and wait for his opportunity to humiliate Omega on a grand scale.... and why, you ask? Because it would be revealed that Page wasn't who he said he was, and was actually a Canadian kid from Winnipeg who was bullied and embarrassed by Omega as children and who swore that one day he would grow up to get his revenge on a scale writ large. Now that's long-term booking, and would have given their match some real heat!

I really want to hear some locker room leaks from AEW. Too many reports out that are all over the place with drama backstage from the executive that Tony had to beg to not quit a few weeks ago after Tony allegedly was ranting and raving like he was Vince in Gorilla.

There are stories that Punk is backstage being unhappy about his booking, but that report doesn't make sense because he's been gone injured and before that he was just the new champ. Did he even make a defense?

The tweets from Miro and Andrade that indicate their unhappiness as well.

Brian Pillman, Jr. could have been a project. Instead he’s been left to fend for himself because Tony is a hoarder. It’s been 3 years. I can imagine a lot of younger talent feel they should have gotten way more reps in and would progress farther elsewhere.

If TK put someone else in control, you would probably have two better functioning wrestling promotions. AEW would work better under someone disciplined’s vision, and there could be a viable third featuring talented guys that don’t fit the AEW vision.

#1-norm-fan

Hear me out…

Punk slowly leans more and more into the role of a selfish veteran who is here to hold down the young guys. It eventually becomes crystal clear when he starts subtly cheating to win matches.

He remains champion for a year, slowly devolving into the selfish shithead marks want him to be while they also fantasy book MJF’s WWE debut. (Because him being gone this long is CLEARLY not a work)

Turns out MJF was getting paid big money for months to just sit at home for the sake of long-term storytelling. He makes a “shocking” return to call out Punk on his bullshit and becomes the definition of an anti-hero. He’s still the silver-tongued asshole devil from before but you’ve all finally caught up to him.

Now a world title match is set up… and every sleazy attempt by Punk to cheat his way to victory is thwarted. Because he’s facing the king of that shit. Punk’s lackeys come out but they’re met by guys MJF had ready for them. Punk goes to use a chair and MJF falls to the ground, selling it early. When the ref wants to call for the bell for a DQ, MJF stops him and tells him he’ll “tough it out”. Finally Punk grabs his title, gets a mic and says “Fuck this company” as he climbs over the barricade with a cocky grin while blowing MJF a kiss.

He makes it halfway through the crowd and then stops, looking forward in shock. Wardlow chases him back into the ring where MJF beats him and takes the title.

After MJF establishes himself as the hero you hate to admit you need for a while by cheating and outsmarting a bunch of heels, Wardlow challenges for the title. MJF promises not to cheat and no one REALLY buys it. He turns down every opportunity by past allies to help him out and ultimately falls after a valiant effort. He shakes hands with Wardlow and you have your mega face built as well as your secondary face who is loyal to his friends but is still a natural asshole.

Wrestling at its core to me operates like magic shows, or I guess more broadly the circus. There's parts of it that wow you with the skill of the performers (the ability to execute a moonsault in wrestling or the high-wire acts or juggling at the circus). Then there's where the crowd gets invested in something they know isn't "real" (the results of the match or a magician pulling a rabbit out from their hat).

And thanks to TV, internet, etc. both have embraced a bit of a meta-narrative as necessary. I am paraphrasing a Penn & Teller late night appearance I saw once, but basically Penn juggled to little applause (an acknowledgement that he had skill) whereas the place loudly cheered for Teller doing magic despite knowing he was fooling them since magic isn't real.

So at its core I think we, the audience, just like to go along with it if it's good and entertaining. It would cheapen a magic show if after pulling off a great trick the magician immediately went "and here's how I did it".

Based on that, digging in the crates for ways to work the fans with "real storylines" is a bit of a zero-sum game. Keep us on our toes once in a while, but don't make us feel like we've been had. Because while wrestling isn't real, our time and emotional investment in it is.

I think I agree completely with the core of what you said but I don’t know that we agree completely on what constitutes “embracing a meta-narrative” and what constitutes just having your intelligence insulted.

That being said, I’m quite comfortable believing MJF is actually kind of an asshole either way and they should take full advantage of that “reality”.

Can anyone tell me what the benefits are to this “AEW is working the sheets” stuff with Punk and MJF? A lot of people are claiming that it is obviously a work. To what end? Is it just the idea that this is allegedly “interesting?” They’re “building interest?” Because I just can’t see the sense in this approach.

Take MJF: As soon as that music hits, or he comes through the crowd, and he cuts that promo — he’s back. I don’t get what the “drama” of his absence achieved at all. The discourse between real/fake only exists for as long as it’s in this state of perceived flux.

Punk: Why is it worth faking that he’s a selfish asshole? If it turns out they’re all just pretending, that becomes obvious in the work. Wouldn’t it be better to just have him cut out and be a heel?
