There are gifts that pro wrestling has given us to be entertained by even as it dies a slow death. You just gotta know where to look. #Blessed

Yeah, I really don’t remember saying anything too negative about him. I was expecting some ass-stain like #fan to go back and try to dig up one time I said “Eh, the guy’s not that good” and try to use it as some major GOTCHA. I’m not the dude’s biggest fan or anything. But I’ve never thought he’s a blight on New Japan or they shouldn’t use him or anything. I just wasn’t a big fan of the concept of turning him heel when they did. Meh.

There appears to be fallout from the Thunder Rosa/Marina Shafir match from Dynamite:

A fan accused Rosa of sandbagging Shafir. It’s gained a bit of traction from fans and was liked by Britt Baker and Shafir herself. Some people pointed out Ivelisse said the same thing about Rosa, and Ivelisse has commented that the “Ivelisse was right” sentiments warm her soul. Other fans are lashing out at Shafir for saying she was obviously completely lost and she should be mad at Tony Khan for putting her in that position.

Just another straw closer to Tony Khan’s inevitable mental breakdown.

Are you cheering someone's mental health decline?




For shame.

Must…project…to defend…company mess!

I'm a Rosa fan, but I saw the suplex. I mean, Shafir is bad. Just awful. But her husband is Roderick Strong, and the person who started this shit show was trained by... Roderick Strong. And AEW really wants to hire... Roderick Strong. And Britt Baker doesn't like people who are legit over on their own. And her boyfriend is best friends with... Roderick Strong.

Marina Shafir might not be the most polished, but any of the Cultist sticking up for Rosa by saying Shafir was lost is dumb.

Also Marina Shafir is yet another pro wrestler with a professional MMA Victory, something Fan's Hero CM Phillip never accomplished :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Hey Fanhttps://i.imgflip.com/6jfj95.jpg

Oh, he’s doing that thing where he embarrasses himself in one thread and then randomly jumps to another thread out of nowhere with a nonsensical “gotcha!” to try to get that W he’s so desperate for. Who could’ve seen this coming?

You’re falling deeper into those keyboard warrior pussy stereotypes. But there’s still hope. Wanna talk about it?

For someone always talking about "trying to get W's", it is comical your Hero Phillip could never get one :rofl:

How would that even be projecting? Lol

Unless that last post wasn’t a sarcastic comment toward drave’s response and you were instead actually making the statement that you’re projecting your own mental decline onto Tony Khan? In which case, fair enough.

I’m honestly pretty sure that at some point in the last year you read an “Internet Arguing for Dummies”, found some words you like and now just use them as if the definition doesn’t matter.

Lolwut?


Sorry, I am not an "AEW cultist", nor a "FEDBAD cultist" or whatever drivel comes outta circlejerk/wrestling armchair booker fantasies.



I enjoy some things from both companies, but not all, not even close.





Regardless of all that, cheering on someone's mental decline, regardless of your opinions on their promotion, is gross.

Come on, guys. Just ignore the retards. It’s really that simple.

You’re projecting that I’m cheering on anyone’s mental decline. You’re lying. Stop lying and I won’t confuse you for a liar. :y:

It’s got its own thread, but Jeff Hardy has predictably gone and got himself a DUI under AEW auspices. Remember when Dave was half-way gloating about how Jeff was sober when WWE released him? Yeah, he went to AEW to get loaded.

Jeff needs fucking help. And no, drave — I’m not “cheering” it.

Pushing Kyle O’Reilly is a huge head scratcher. Fine tag wrestler and undercard guy but he shouldn’t be getting main event spots vying for a world title chance.

The battle royal also stunk. Very little star power and no stories told at all. If they want Wardlow to chase the TNT belt, have Paige and Sky eliminate him. Have them screw over Rusev so there’s some heat going into his match with Ethan Paige.

Jurassic Express should’ve been in there and had something with the Bucks and the Hardys to help get something going there before their ladder match.

Same goes for the Jericho feud with the BCC and Santana and Ortiz.

The beauty of a battle royal is you can advance stories and have guys lose the match without making them look bad. Tony missed the boat on that, in top of going with a completely wtf winner to wrestle against a guy who wasn’t top ranked to begin with.

I mentioned why I really liked Eddie as an interim champ. I also think Darby would’ve been perfect. For similar reasons as Eddie; super over, he’s perfect as interim champ since it won’t count but it gives him a rub, and though he’s not great on the live mic, his vignettes are usually pretty great and he’s just got a unique vibe to him.

There’s also a plethora of challengers for him and he’s the best underdog they have. He would’ve been perfect. Him beating Moxley in a roll up in the same way he beat Cody to win the TNT title is believable. Him going into All Out against Punk, presumably in Chicago, in a rematch from last year where, but now for the undisputed world title, is another great story. Plus we now it’s Moxley v Tana. They could’ve been a fun match with Darby.

Now we get what likely need a good but completely uninteresting match where Moxley , who’s better than being a placeholder champ, against Tana, who shouldn’t be AEW champ under any circumstances.

Huge missed opportunity and bumbling booking by Tony. Easily the least interested I’ve been in the company going into the ppv.

It is Dubbalos and Goofies FYI :cool:

Fightful now reporting All Out is going to stay in Chicago this year. God dammit. Punk v Darby II for the undisputed world title would’ve been a stellar main event.

No fun in that, Milfy.

Not a huge Ospreay fan. But FTR has a track record of having REALLY good wrestling matches with flippy guys so it’ll be interesting to see if Dax can do it on his own.

Dax is one of the best in the world right now and Ospreay can bump and flip so it Will be Willy good.

Have full faith Dax will make it good

Seriously, get the AEW Tag Titles on FTR already. I guess the plan is to have them in ROH if that project ever gets off the ground but fuck that. They’re in AEW now. Luchasaurus and Jungle Boy are tag champs in division where FTR exists. Fix that.

Agreed. It’s an easy story too. FTR challenges, Christian turns on jungle boy mid match, FTR wins belts and Christian and Jungle Boy start their feud. Easy peasy.

This match is actually likely to be awesome and will shine a really good light on Ospreay.

People were calling him Will Ass Spray, and now I can't unhear it :rofl:

LMAO oh MJF is a legend.

Willow Nightingale has good entrance music on Rampage

Leon Ruffin looked hilarious standing next to BEAR COUNTRY

I didn't realize Forbidden Door was next weekend

Neither did AEW based on the card im seeing.

I’m sure the matches will deliver but this ppv looks like shit. It’ll prob be a flop which will either lead Tony to doing a better job on building it next year or dropping it all together.

Remember when Keith Lee was this "future star" after he threw that midget across the ring.

I remember being excited for him until they moved him into a make shift tag team

Def a downgrade from the Double or Nothing card

It’s almost like the guy sucked or something. You can say this about so many guys too. Didn’t Brian Cage headline one of their PPVs? Just a mess.

If Johnny Gargano can’t turn around the ratings, I don’t know who can.
