Ricochet and Moose have trained at Vision One Dojo (Rance's school.) Larry has funded it and even had him living with him at one point.

Which happened. Cornette almost definitely has nothing to do with this.

And the shit about Emi Sakura, et al? There’s a point to be made there. They’re not very good wrestlers and there’s definitely an element of sleaze involved in how Emi promotes. You might be fine with a little sleaze in your promoting with consenting adults and whatever, but it doesn’t make reporting on it inaccurate.

A few things on this 1. I think Cornette has accused Omega of having a sexual relationship with Riho at one point, based on how he books her. Likely not knowing how long the parties have known each other. In other words, despite dismissing her as a "Japanese School Girl," Omega actually knew her as a Japanese School Girl.

Going back to Rance, he has something in common with Sakura: Both train underaged girls in their schools (even after Rance was convicted of molestation.).

Rockstar Spud/Drake Maverick is the real scumbag, fighting a one year old!

I agree that these guys need to learn how to conduct themselves on Twitter, however, the bar has been set very low by a then-in office POTUS. Gonna take some time for the platform to “correct itself”.

This is the new thing now, AEW leaks these stories so they can play up to the perception that they are the best by saying "oh WWE really wants this guy and that guy from us".

WWE wants people who are coming out of college, athletes in their early 20's they can create from scratch, not a mid 30's Indy guy.

Yes. And I think that a lot of people in AEW are persona non grata, frankly. They don’t need you. You’re not a star. We’ll build our own or take people from this place instead.

WWE looking at WARDLOW to feud with Roman and Lesnar, potential new Undertake role that's been worked called "GRAVEDIGGER" apparently WWE has been in contact with Monster Truck about a licensing of that classic American trademark.

Just bring in the truck itself as a wrestler. Fuck it. A wrestler was eaten by zombies after a match last year. Slap some CGI arms on that beast and book your WrestleMania main event.

We may have to rename this the "Official AEW Twitter Meltdown Thread" at this rate.

Apparently it’s not only the big time that comes with pressure.

Mr. Nerfect 01-13-2022 01:13 AM

CM Punk should probably take the therapy option.

Mr. Nerfect 01-13-2022 01:37 AM

Lol, AEW is putting out a rap album featuring its black talent telling the story of their come-up for Black History Month. A lot of people are already dunking on them for being tone-deaf. Brandi has even come out and said “I have nothing to do with this, so please give it a chance.”

You can’t make this shit up.

I am sure that has been long planned and wasn't a knee jerk reaction to Big Swole drama or anything :rofl:

Sepholio 01-13-2022 03:46 AM

If you ask me I think putting out a rap album is basic thuganomics.

Lock Jaw 01-13-2022 08:31 AM

Remember that one clip of Punk shouting at a fan "you have a vagina!!"

Wonder how quick he would get canceled if he did it today...

I've always wanted to hear Shoddy Lee Johnson and Private Party lay down some tracks!

Jordan 01-13-2022 09:30 AM

I think that Tony has blown it with Andrade. When Andrade came into town he certainly had a breathe of fresh air about him and seemed to be immediately launched into the main event scene. There was a few weeks of exciting stuff with Andrade and then... Whatever he's doing now.

I don't mean to sound dramatic but I think they've blown it with him. Now he just cuts random quick inaudible backstage segments and has a TERRIBLE manager.

Maybe Flair's Darkside controversy did cost Andrade a major angle for AEW and now they are regrouping creatively for Andrade, but I feel the quick chance of having a new legit main eventer in Andrade is out the window. I'm almost at the point where I think Andrade shouldn't get resigned when negotiations come up, especially if he only signed for a year initially.

screech 01-13-2022 10:04 AM

He was nearly "canceled" for it at the time, wasn't he?

#1-norm-fan 01-13-2022 10:09 AM

The TPWW Right to Say Stupid Things Initiative should extend to “Wrestling Twitter”.

Therefore I’d like to officially condemn CM Punk for calling that guy stupid just because he said something stupid.

I don't think so. Not even close. The reception seemed more "ha ha Punk funny" from the majority

Damian Rey 2.0 01-13-2022 11:50 AM

Andrade can’t speak English and they clearly aren’t interested in giving him a mouthpiece as opposed to letting him learn to cut his own promos. It’s a shame Zelina went back to WWE. In the meantime, Andrade had a great series with Pac, a great match with Cody and now they’re regrouping with him. It’s fine. Until he gets a mouthpiece or his English jumps leaps and bounds, he’s going to be limited in how far you can go with him. He’s fine. He’s still being regularly featured and presented well. He’s just in a holding pattern.

Damian Rey 2.0 01-13-2022 11:52 AM

He had to apologize for it almost immediately after if I recall. He also called him a homo and asked if his name was Sally. The blowback was almost immediate. Today he’d get dragged relentlessly but it didn’t fly under the radar at the time.

slik 01-13-2022 12:34 PM

That's great. So many wrestlers break character on social media. Very cool to see someone specifically use it to keep kayfabe alive.

ron the dial 01-13-2022 01:15 PM

it seems like a lot of indie cats use social media for the same reason. i'm thinking specifically of effy, especially his feud with matt cardona. he's doing the same thing now building up the match with jeff jarrett. it's really cool to see instead of it being the place where folks just go fuck it, i post whatever i want.

Jordan 01-13-2022 01:49 PM

Very excited for House of Black. I feel they are going to get over huge and the tag division is endless right now.

People can always dig that stuff up, and he can always say “different time, I’ve changed.” It may even be true. But this was another shitty thing to do that can be added to the CM Punk pile. He is likely to really put his foot in it one day.

I really wish they would stop so heavily using the run in or "beat down after the match" stuff tbh... seems like 2-5 times per show for the past few months, seems lazy. Feel like the first year was much more creative
