I find it funny MGM Grand is going to have a no fans Boxing Card in Vegas in 2 weeks. I doubt AEW would have traveled just to have no fans but still

Imagine ordering a Rey Fenix over Amazon, then your package arrives and it's a Joey Janela.

I heard someone say that Ricky Starks might go to AEW. I think it would be a bad idea. Because Ricky can work, talk, and women find him good looking. AEW wouldn't know what to do with him.

Ricky is not that good, my dude. He's definitely "okay," though.

AEW's belt designer confirmed what was mentioned on last night's broadcast of Double or Nothing was true about the TNT title not being finished in time for the show due to coronavirus issues.

Also the finished design is meant to resemble the NWA TV title since that is where the inspiration came from.

I think the biggest issue with the belt is how plain the centre is, which this doesn’t seem to fix.

Watching Dark...Allie is wearing a tight red dress...this isn't fucking fair!

Emperor Smeat 05-26-2020 07:14 PM

Last weekend's Double or Nothing event is currently rumored to have done around 100k PPV buys based on early estimates and reports.

Assuming that number holds, that's pretty amazing considering the circumstances both in regards to the event's build and coronavirus-related issues.

Volare 05-26-2020 07:41 PM

AEW Dark is great so far. :)

Volare 05-26-2020 07:47 PM

Janella and Kiss as a team I can buy.

Jordan 05-27-2020 09:53 AM

Would you hire Hawkins and Cardona?

Listening them on Jericho's podcast, I think they would be a blast in AEW. Cardona is proven charismatic talent and Hawkins is really good in the ring and great with character work. I thought his work with the loosing streak was fantastic and should have had a big pop at the end of it but obviously, they WWE'ed it.

I know we don't want AEW to be all friends wrestling. Well at least Cornette doesn't. I think these two deserve a spot on the roster. I can imagine they would be hilarious working with Jurassic Express and Best Friends.

Damian Rey 2.0 05-27-2020 01:54 PM

Honestly no. At least not as on air talents. They were both booked as jokes in wwe and don't bring any credibility. I'd rather they bring in guys like Moxley, an obvs big name who was mishandled, or a Rusev type who was charismatic, funny, had success and consistent visibility but also wasn't utilized to his full potential.

Evil Vito 05-27-2020 02:03 PM

I mean the relationships are there - Ryder is tight with Cody and Hawkins was MJF and Statlander's trainer. But I wouldn't bring them in. They'd be pretty damn far down on the tag ranks in that division, even moreso once FTR come in.

Besides, they've said they don't want to be a regular tag team anyway. They have a wishlist of teams they'd team up to face if the opportunity arises on the indies but otherwise they're content to work solo while they host their podcast.

Don't really see any value in them as singles guys in the AEW scene. I actually think Impact might be the best choice for Ryder where there's a lot of emphasis on characters ahead of in-ring skill. Hawkins could go pretty much anywhere and be a decent hand but I think his school will be the bigger priority for him anyway.

I’d see Cardona as another potential Dillinger tbh.

Damian Rey 2.0 05-27-2020 05:01 PM

Dillinger/Spears has been a bummer. He got off to a great start. Got Tully. Got a big match. It was fine that he lost. But he's done jack shit since then.

Not that I am saying it would work exactly like the nWo, but AEW could certainly sign five or six released WWE guys to come in as a faction wanting to take all the top spots.

Damian Rey 2.0 05-27-2020 08:27 PM

That's a good idea. But it's gotta be guys better than those 2.

Right, I'm not saying it has to be those 2. But a Rusev led stable with say Rowan and Axel could certainly be supported by Hawkins and Ryder.

Damian Rey 2.0 05-27-2020 09:23 PM

Fuck no. That's jobber central. The only one there of interest is Rusev.

Evil Vito 05-27-2020 09:41 PM

That stable would be awful and it would go against their claims that they aren’t gonna hire everyone WWE discards.

Goldust was an easy add as he was Cody’s brother and a ready-made story.

Mox is a star.

Brodie, Matt, FTR all had various degrees of buzz around them due to untapped potential or in Matt’s case a gimmick that, while not for everyone, has a following. Rusev would give me a similar vibe to those guys and would be a sensible add from all the recent WWE releases.

The only one that I have trouble justifying and felt like a TNA signing was Spears and signing guys like Ryder would be a comparison. They should stay away with that.
