Lol It is Twitter. I haven’t seen the replies yet but I can definitely see it making the rounds and catching the eye of enough outrage-hungry people who share it with enough of their outrage-hungry friends with “AEW wrestler” being thrown in there that damage control is needed.

No, he's on the shelf right now from repeated brain injuries and the rumor mill has been saying for a couple months that he may never recover and have to retire as a result.

WWE has been better the whole time, even at it's shittiest. AEW was just the new hotness.
Debatable... but not for the reason you think.
For a good while, it was a race to the fucking bottom. The few times AEW stumbled on something that could/did change their fortunes, they consistently squandered it. Meanwhile in Connecticut, there was lots of "hold my beer" going on to the point of blatant active self-sabotage. There is just a lot more lifelong habitual watchers for almost anything WWE; likely out of fear that the one week they finally give up on looking at the shit would be the one week where a bunch of good stuff started happening and it became "good again".
It was like being a teacher and watching second graders take a spelling test at the end of every week: only one doesn't understand English and apparently isn't in the process of learning it, and the other knows all the answers every time, but just decides to write nothing but swear words for all the answers just because.

My understanding is it is from 2012 on, so no it does not include the whole library. None of the early Danielson, Phil, Joe, Claudio stuff. Basically you are getting the very end of Kevin Owens, and The Elite/Undisputed runs before they left for New Japan/NXT.

I really can't fathom how anybody, Tony Khan and Chris Jericho included, can't be bored of JAS vs. BCC at this point. It's been 8 months of them fighting pretty much every week.

And next time, don't use Blood and Guts until you're ready for it to be the feud ender.

That was one I actually didn't mind. For starters I thought there was some really fun stuff there. But mostly because the feud itself was never really planned to happen in the first place.
IIRC, Jericho was meant to be off for most if not all of that summer doing a pre-scheduled Fozzy tour. But of course COVID then cancelled all gigs and so he was available for AEW again, and they had to piece something together for him.

Jericho will put over Action Jackson another one or two times. Do the Triple H for Shelton Benjamin. Use it as a “See!” to justify all the stupid stuff he does. It wouldn’t surprise me if you don’t even see Action next week though. They are horrible with following stuff up.

Apparently Jericho has some sort of long-standing heat with Sasha Banks? Probably over some racist shit. Between that and Sammy “I want to rape you” Guevara and the women’s roster there — I think AEW fans should temper their expectations about Mercedes Moan in AEW.

Everyone implies that AEW runs it’s reliable markets too often, but the truth is probably that these are the markets they can run without completely drying up.

I think Sasha had a good character and she was decent enough in the ring, but she has already walked out, TWICE! I wouldn't trust her to live up to her contract at all.
That said AEW would bend over backwards to sign her, overpay her by a lot, bury their current roster to put her over, then she will leave them high and dry. Let's not forget the last time she quit was because she didn't want to work a Raw main event that she was going to win and lead her to a PPV title match she was not going to win over Ronda Rousey.
Can you imagine the fit she would throw if Tony Khan asked her to lose to Jade Cargill for a secondary title on a random Rampage?

Just throwing this out there after watching Tribute to the Extreme
How the fuck in AEW's 3 year history has Super Crazy, 2 Cold Scorpio or Rob Van Dam NOT been introduced? Even as a one off appearance on Dynamite?
Super Crazy has got to be cheap as he has never really ever been given his proper due and always lingered on the outside but always very entertaining when involved.
2 Cold Scorpio has the WCW, ECW, WWF, NOAH, TNA, WWE and a ton of experienced background. Not to mention, never really given his fair due so he's probably fairly flexible in hiring financially.
Rob Van Dam... probably not cheap but still has IT. Book a fucking dream match with him and Kenny Omega in AEW; PAY him to put Kenny O F'N Mega over and call it there. Probably best to book him for one offs only, as that is where he thrives and delivers best bang for your buck.

Was just thinking about how badly AEW have fucked up almost all their talent acquisitions. If this were any other promotion — WCW, TNA, you name it — they would be dragged over the coals for how badly they have fucked up.
* Wardlow was getting so over as MJF’s reluctant bodyguard. I knew turning him face was premature, but they have taken a guy who gave people Goldberg vibes and firmly planted him in the mid-card. He’s in a going nowhere feud with an old WWE guy who doesn’t want to be there over secondary belts no one cares about. This is like if Goldberg beat Hogan on Nitro and then decided he wanted to make the US Title his only thing.
* Bryan Danielson is still one of the best workers on the planet and basically universally beloved. They’ve presented him in such a way that it actually breaks people’s hearts enough that they tune out whenever he is on the television. It’s taken them longer to run Seattle than it took WCW to run Canada with Bret Hart.
* Miro is sitting at home with nothing to do. He’s draining more company resources than Nailz did in WCW. People just want to see the guy come in and wreck shit. Meltzer justifies this by saying Miro knocked back doing a job. Why are you getting him to lose? The last time you saw him, paying customers were seeing him victorious alongside Sting and Darby Allin. If they didn’t know better, they could make the case that Khan got them to plonk down cash and invest on someone he just pulled from them in a gotcha.
None of this is good. None of this is ok by any standards we used to have as fans. They get the simplest shit so fucking wrong. But we’re supposed to stand back and clap because they pay Chris Jericho a truckload of money to play politics. Fuck that.

The Miro situation is weird. Tiny not being able to keep shit in house and had to let it be known that Miro is home because he disliked creative pitched to him. There is no reason to put that out there, but Tiny got defensive just because somebody questioned why he can't get Miro on TV.
Now you have Lana making comments about Miro will return to WWE, talking about Rusev Day, and praising WWE.
Mr. Nerfect
12-22-2022, 11:37 PM
It’s kind of the booker’s job to be able to sell creative to the talent.
Mr. Nerfect
12-22-2022, 11:38 PM
And it’s a tantrum. Miro could be on TV winning squash matches to keep him warm until it is time to do something with him. But because he didn’t want to lose a trios match to The Elite or whatever, he’s at home getting paid.
Mr. Nerfect
12-22-2022, 11:39 PM
Wouldn’t surprise me if this heat started because Miro leaked that his bad gimmick at the start of his AEW run came from Tony himself.

That Keith Lee/Swerve/Rick Ross segment might have been the worst segment they’ve ever done.
Rick Ross so annoying talking over everyone else. It smacked of WWE celebrity guests.
Keith Lee is so uncharismatic, just stood there stroking his chin trying to be intellectual. That’s not a gimmick. His matches are quite fun when he’s throwing little people around.
Big fan of Swerve though, but pairing him up with two nobodies who got beat up even when blindsiding someone doesn’t seem good. Is there anyone in AEW currently who operates as an individual?

If the options are having Miro job to The Elite or having him off TV until a plan is in place, I'm fine with the latter.

Tony Khan is definitely a different kind of CEO but in light of some of the absolute horrible CEO's the world has seen in professional wrestling and all the other businesses in the world for the last 300 years, its refreshing.
He is definitely less seasoned but obviously very passionate. Fuck it, it's a nice change to see a CEO actually seem to care and live in the moment as opposed to just doing calculated stuff in order to "look" and "appear" good and appease the Boards or any other kind of oversights the company has.

Did Warner change its stance or did Tony realize that someone was going to end up asking a Warner exec about this stance, leading them to answer "Who?" and blowing up the whole fucking charade?

See any of Noid’s takes on how The Bucks don’t want to bring in and/or properly feature tag teams that are superior to themselves.

My own opinion, with some corroborating evidence I have seen from another forum. Primarily, the dude doesn't have a spine, so doesn't want to take the heat.
I'd respect him a bit more if he said "I don't have any plans for them at this time." Disappointing, but a logical answer. It's better than making up an Exec that won't let them on WarnerMedia, but somehow let them on Warnermedia for ROH PPVs on BR. They were banned from doing a tribute, but were allowed to show his picture for a few seconds. It's all bullshit.

I think I might have seen the Briscoes wrestle twice but it was hard not to be emotional during the Mark vs. Lethal match. Jay Lethal looked emotionally destroyed at points in that match.

So according to Schiavone, he is either not allowed to talk to Cody because Cody works in WWE, or he is full of shit trying to FEDBAD (even though Ricky Starks was allowed to be backstage with Cody at the Royal Rumble). Gee, I REALLY wonder which one it is :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

I guess he could be trying to suggest that they just don’t talk anymore because they’re not in proximity to each other, but that is a terrible way to say it. But a really stupid move to try and FEDBAD like that when it can be so easily disproven.
Also, I’m glad it doesn’t seem likely Starks has fallen for AEW’s shit and bought into the idea of being “elevated” by Jericho and he is likely WWE bound. Good for him.

Tony Khan on booking
“I had a process, I already had a schedule of what I had planned week to week in different stories with different matches and segments. At some point, I just inverted it. I realized I should tip this over. Instead of looking at the dates and building it out, I kind of flipped what the column was and what the rows were, and put the columns where the rows were, and now I organize everything like this since Full Gear, and now I feel like I’m more organized, even though it’s all the same information, it’s just looking at it differently. It really helps.
I was already doing that, and we kind of had that, but I had it the other way where it was looking at the shows and I had where the columns were, and out here were the different wrestlers and stories. For some reason, and I don’t know why, it shouldn’t make that big of a difference flipping it. The flow, working down the page, it looks a lot better and works a lot better. It’s basically the same thing I was doing, I just flipped the page around, and it’s helped me be even more organized.”

What exactly is so hard to understand? Once you rip apart a tombstone, you don't get to pretend to have outrage over loyalty. His tombstone says "Loving Husband Always Together". I guess they could try to sneak an * on there somewhere, maybe have it say "JK" and provide the location of Vickie's actual ultimate resting place.
After doing that, it is bad enough she STILL uses his name to make money. She is not showing up on AEW TV as Vickie Benson now is she? But she is really going to act outraged over Dom? Don't begrudge somebody else for drawing comparisons when you weren't even loyal enough to not disturb his final resting place. They literally cut the headstone so it looks like it was never there. If she cared so much about defending his legacy, maybe don't turn his grave into an embarrassment.
Is that his they usually do adjacent plots, with the stone already prepared? That’s fucking weird.
