Apparently the incident being discussed wasn’t the Tates’ first travel issue. Khan intimated that it’d been mentioned to him that they’d had issues prior to him purchasing the company.
Anyway, does Remsburg still handle travel or has AEW matured past the “some guys have 2-3 jobs” phase?

Highlight of the show for me was Schiavone drinking a Monster Energy on camera 2 feet from their promotional cans of Flair’s swill.

*flashbacks of Punk’s travel issues in London for All In*
Didn’t he leave a day later than he was told to leave and thus ran into a transit strike or something?

If overworking lunatics are actually stealing the name of my beloved musical subgenre then we should do something to them that would be in the lyrics of a Carcass song. (Especially ironic that the real grindcore was born from the work-despising world of hardcore punk and underground metal.)
If Aytch only wants guys he can work to death, he better be happy with everyone going to work for someone providing proper conditions instead.
My bad, it’s actually “grindset.” You may lower the alert level

It's throwing shade at themselves if anything. They literally put a guy in one of the biggest main events of the year who ain't been a full time wrestler in over twenty years. If you were born 21 years ago, you don't remember Dwayne Johnson as a full time wrestler. You can say he earned it, but WrestleMania weekend is also where you have men and women literally wrestling up to 2-3 times a day over the course of 3-4 days. There are folks on the WWE roster who probably average 2-3 matches A MONTH if that. The fuck is he going on about.
It's funny because he's trying to qualify it by saying "early in your career," making sure to only criticize non-veterans and non-legends. But at face value, he's still just telling younger wrestlers "don't come here if you don't want us working you like a dog." Like killing yourself for a job is commendable.

I know he’s just being disingenuous to throw shade on AEW, but for fuck’s sake. It’s not like Punk’s pulling an Orndorff and working through injury to keep a check coming.

Trips going hard on somebody
“when I see people coming out of trying to make it, and then they pick a job where, well, they work less, the schedule is lighter, then I'm like, 'I'm glad I didn't pick you.' If you're not in it for the grind, at that point early in your career, you have no business being here”
Oh god fuck this guy. Some real boomer-ass “I work 18 hour days and never see my kids” grindcore bullshit.
This is up there with Undertaker’s “today’s locker room is soft” comments. “I made every town, slept 5 to a room, held Shawn’s hair when he puked, drove cars for addicts because I was sober, jobbed like crazy, etc, and you don’t belong here if you can’t work that hard.” I swear wrestling will never get better until we’re at least a generation or two removed from these old school carny fucks.

I forgot to mention Toni absolutely breaking Excalibur with the line: "Mariah May reminds me of a young Toni Storm. Thunder Rosa reminds me of an old Thunder Rosa."
Also tremendous how Swerve made goddamn sure to remove his fur coat before blading.
Anybody have a link to Trent's post-show promo?

I'd love to see Cornette's timestamps
00:00 - 00:05 - intro and discussion of fast food
00:05 - 21:02 - casual racism
21:02 - 45:30 - Anti AEW rant to play to my base (NOTE: includes casual racism, misogyny, and homophobia)
45:30 - 52:10 - political discourse where I swear I'm left-leaning despite 45 minutes of casual racism, misogyny, and homophobia
52:10 - 55:40 - Russo death threat of the week
55:40 - 60:00 - more food talk mixed with casual racism and possibly classism if discussing fast food employees. Also faux outrage because that's my gimmick

Man, this episode.
I was really checked out of the first hour because I was fucking around trying to teach myself iMovie for a project I'm working on. Not that I would have enjoyed it anyway.
I liked Copeland's promo until Meltzer, r/squaredcircle, et al told me I was supposed to think otherwise.
I'm sure Ospreay/Hobbs and Danielson/Archer was damn fine pro wrestling, but with no stakes and the outcome never in doubt, I just could not bring myself to care.
Gunn/White was my +10 match of the night. Just fucking horrible to book Jay White like this. Yes, he's supposed to be a scumbag heel, but to book this kind of shit vs your roided up grandfather was trash. Someone earlier in the tread called Gunn a "mascot" and that really hit the nail on the head. White is absolutely not supposed to be Chavo in Chavo vs Hornswoggle.
Jericho/Hook is garbage and even the fans are sick of Jericho glomming on to hot acts like an AARP-aged Winnipegan barnacle.
The Young Bucks and Best Friends saved the show. I loved them shouting out Jungle Boy AND nobody has mentioned them telling Sue "CRY ME A RIVER!" at the end. Tremendous match. I hope they have plans for Trent so he doesn't become Mike Santana. Dug Excalibur shouting out PWG, which is where Chuck and Trent were first called "Best Friends" and won DDT4. I'm holding out hope they'll be back.
Willow is amazing and the fans LOVE her. Holy shit was she over. This is 100% a heel angle and it'll be a disaster if A) Willow wins the belt and B) Sasha wins it from her without turning heel first. Sasha sasha-ing out to the ramp to kill Willow's amazing face promo was the god damn worst. And having rankngs when Sasha can just declare #1 contendership is dumb. WTF is TK doing?
Thunder Rosa is unlikable. Always yelling into the camera about not being held down, how nobody can stop her and whatnot. It's like these modern pop songs about the haters not holding you down and all that shit. THIS IS MY FIGHT SONG, TAKE BACK MY LIFE SONG BLAH BLAH BLAH Look Karen, nobody cares. Your "adversity" is 85% your fault. Thunder Rosa definitely owns a shirt that says "if you can't take me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best." She's going the Deonna route of being another babyface the fans are ambivalent about, working a feud vs a heel that they love. Real losing battle here.
I haven't finished the show yet but I will tonight. I love both Joe and Swerve so please Jesus give me something I can enjoy.

Re: Rosa’s finish…it has the same setup as the package piledriver, so why not just do that? In kayfabe, why set up for a kill move like that, only to do something lame instead? Same goes for the Neutralizer and Styles Clash.

So who had Drew Gulak accused of sexual harassment on their 2024 bingo card? According to Ronda Rousey, Drew grabbed the strings on her sweatpants.
His completely serious defense is that he went to shake hands with her and his hand got caught on the string of her pants.
That's like that time I tripped and fell ass first right onto a dick. It happens.

Buy it and do a repaint and you have Dutch from The Righteous
On the We Watch Wrestling pod, they shouted out a good eBay seller who has mint Apter mags for maybe 5-15 bucks plus shipping. If anybody is interested, PM me and I'll send you the name. I bought an issue a week or two ago and it's incredible. Maybe the dude worked at a bookstore and just kept and stored stuff instead of throwing it away when he was supposed to? No idea but it's crazy to get a 1987/88 PWI in the mail and have it look this good.

It was a wonderful day when I realized all I watched on "regular TV" (Sling, actually) was AEW, so I got a VPN, Triller, and AEW+, and now I never see TV commercials.

Early WCW (post Crocket buyout until the Bischoff era) actually did this, complete with a "This weeks Top 10" segment, where the US champ was always #1 Contender (the TV Champ usually floated in the 6-8 range). They always handwaved the US champ never chasing the World champ because they were too busy with defending their own belt, until Starrcade 92 where Rude finally was taking the jump after holding the US belt for over a year to take a shot at Simmons, then blew his back out.
Then there was the time in WWF where IC Champ Warrior took the shot at Hogan and won, then vacated the IC belt the next week. Holding a mid-card *and* the World Title at the same time is a relatively recent thing (as in the last 25ish years).
Oh yeah, for sure. Pedro Morales took the IC to the World title, too, I think. I just mean has this ever been anything other than an occasional thing. It's not like Honky Tonk Man was going after Hogan on the reg based on some #1 contender status granted him by the IC belt.

To be fair, Bon Jovi rules and potato salad sucks.
I am in the exact opposite camp.
Also, that "#2 title holder, like US or IC, is automatically the #1 contender to the world title" thing...has any company ever actually stated this or is that just some Apter mag bullshit based on the secondary guy always being ranked #1 in their ratings for every company? Because it makes no sense. The #2 title is not the "top contenders trophy." If it was, wouldn't the #2 title holder get unlimited shots? Or wouldn't it make sense if he had to give up his belt if he lost to the world champ? I always took it as "the #2 champion is the automatic #1 contender if there is no other logical #1." That or you have actual world title contender ratings (which never really works) and the #2 champ gets an automatic spot somewhere in the top 5 and can move even higher with successful defenses. Or, one more option, just come out and acknowledge your #2 as a midcard belt and have guys who think they're good, but not yet world title level, shoot for it. Aside from those three options, secondary belts make no sense in kayfabe.
And if you want more than two singles belts, the rest have to be gimmick titles.

AEW - APRIL 2024
in ALL ELITE WRESTLING
Posted · Edited by Technico Support
I've been down on AEW a little lately (too many meaningless matches on TV feels like I'm wasting time watching) but seriously, fuck it. If Punk wants to talk for two hours about what a mature, standup guy he is, while Khan has the receipts that say otherwise, then air it.
