  1. Being the son of a famous person doesn’t make you famous. Being an irrelevant cog that nobody misses in a wrestling company with 750K core audience also doesn’t make you famous. The implication that Anna Jay would be after his daddy’s money is unfounded and women dating men because they’re rich is a misogynistic trope unfairly used to malign women. The “it’s the hair” guy above was more helpful and his comment was actually funny.
  2. That might be generous too. If I never see him again, the only thing I will remember about him is how I marveled at his ability to pull Anna Jay despite having less charisma than a cardboard box.
  3. Why suspend him and not send him somewhere to get trained on how to work more safely?
  4. He said one of the best wrestlers in the world, a pro that is known and respected by virtually every AEW fan. Chris Hero isn’t one of the best wrestlers in the world and on the biggest platform he’s ever been on, he was just a jobber to the stars and under a different name. That would fit the pattern of Tony Khan over grossly hyping his signings, so it could be. If it is though at some point Tony Khan has to realize he’s doing a huge disservice to the debuting wrestler by hyping them up to such an extent that fans are expecting bigger name wrestlers than the debuting wrestler.
  5. Since he’s still under contract with NJPW until February (I think), I thought this was about Mercedes Mone.
  6. Yeah, he can’t cut a compelling promo, has no charisma, and is just another guy in the ring. So not only would the reveal be lame but the angle wouldn’t deliver. Honestly, Tony Khan would be smart to just cut him loose and use the extra money that would add to his budget to make Mercedes Mone an offer she can’t refuse since AEW needs stars that aren’t in their 50’s.
  7. Marty Scurl and Joey Ryan…I think that’s his name the guy that did “penis suplexes” as a finisher, shocking he’d turn out to be a creep, huh?
  8. Considering how badly some of the buddies of “the elite” mistreated women (and underage girls), I’m pretty confident CM Punk being a cad was not the source of their conflict.
  9. Yep, that’s one of many reasons they need CM Punk back. You have to have actual stars to bring in enough people to make new stars. You can’t just put people you want to be stars in main event positions and have them magically turn into stars.
  10. Adam Cole lead a beat down of the Young Bucks the last time they were on tv together, so them not coming to help makes sense from a storyline continuity perspective.
  11. I remember going WTF when he described Al Snow’s penis in one of his books when I was a kid. That was pretty perverted and unnecessary.
  12. You would have preferred MJF cut a promo full of factual inaccuracies? The cool heel is a lame archetype that needs to be excised from wrestling. The NWO was novel and interesting in the late 90’s but not anymore. Heels should be obnoxious, annoying, and you should be itching for them to get their asses kicked. But if he does go to Sherman Oaks, hopefully he takes the Young Bucks with him. Since they clearly don’t draw ratings, have matches with contrived spots that make a mockery of the rules, have terrible off and on selling, and turn Kenny Omega (who like him or not is a star in Japan) into a goober on American television.
  13. It’s weird that in December Tony Khan would unnecessarily book a mystery tag partner—as challenged by the heels for a match in January (when Mercedes was a free agent) only for it to be a girl on the roster that had been previously involved in confrontations with her. And to then let Britt make the boss references in her promo. They not only didn’t dissuade fans from thinking that, they leaned into teasing it.
  14. Hangman had the most forgettable title run in AEW history and he was only even in that position because he carried the young bucks bags for years prior to AEW. Then he alienated the biggest (by far) draw in the company by cutting an awful “shoot” promo most people didn’t even understand. Then he talks on a podcast about being too stubborn to listen to people that were actually successful in the industry and that are bona fide legends. That’s embarrassing given how unimpressive his resume his and how underwhelming his title run was. His lack of humility and stupidity will likely end up costing AEW millions in the long run.
