She was doing full nudes? I'm confused. Toni Storm was doing bikini shots. Most women at her level can get away with showing as little as possible that is damn near robbery to pay for these sites lol. It seems like they released her on good terms. I'm sure she'll be hired right back once her subscribers start to go down. She was probably going to drop the belt to Roxy next month anyway. I don't see AEW picking her up,especially if they get Sasha. If there is the slightest bit of interest from AEW I doubt they'd try to out bid her over WWE. It doesn't look good for WWE that if your not a top paid Women in WWE you can just do your own projects like this and get paid of that same fanbase independently. It's even worse for them in this case because she was the Roman Reigns of the NXT Women as far as how protected she's been

If your going to end Jades streak this early, then Sasha would be the person and I do believe she'd give hee her best match as I'm sure she's gotten good matches out of people as green or greener than Jade. I'd like to see her against Saraya first because the obvious backstory but guys would see that as a WWE match. With Vince, if he does come back and assume power again then I doubt with announce it form formally

If AEW was to have Sasha it would be the biggest acquisition since Bryan. The biggest grab for their Women's division by far but I'm not confident they'll book that division the way it it should have been book. Even NWA at times has had a better Women's division that AEW since it started up so I think it'll be great if she works Japan. Working Japan is something she's wanted to do so honestly that's the good thing about her possibly having a career in wrestling outside of WWE.

I never understood the criticism TK was getting for having ROH matches on AEW TV anyway. They've done a good at keeping it separate for the most part and it's no different from when they had Omega as Impact champ on Dynamite or the NWA women's champ defending on Dynamite. It makes since to keep these ROH guys in people's consciousness until they get on TV. I also think why people expect Ring of Honor to just get a TV right out thep gate. TK hasn't even had it a year and people expect to just have a deal out the gate

Because he's on TV every week it's hard to believe he's only wrestled a short amount of TV matches. He shows up on Raw almost every week too and he goes all out in his matches just as when he was working every week. I don't remember if it was Alvarez or someone on F4Wonline I was listening to a few weeks ago pointed out how Roman could barely stand up out of his chair in a backstage segment indicating why he probably asked to work less matches in his new contract but it's obviously not showing in his match because he definitely brings it. And I'm sure showing up every week ensures his cousins stay in a good slot but I expect him not to be showing up as much when he finally drops those titles.

AEW has booked its World Champ not to defend the title on TV all the time anyway. WWE has done the same with Reigns as well for this run and he's appeared on TV every week so it's really nothing different except MJF is saying it to get heat. Unless MJF goes out and says he's only going to defend on PPVs then that would work since they don't do monthly PPVs. Danielson or Mox don't wrestle every week either. TK often does have some of his full-time uppercard talent wrestle every week either

I agree with you on both parts, I felt the same way the first time Sasha was away and I don't see AEW as a good place for her any more today either. They've got some good talent but only Brit Baker is the only possible money match. A Saraya match has a built in story but other than that you have a few matchups that might be excellent work wise but nothing that could draw viewers at this point. It would suck if Regal is leaving but for him his value as an on screen talent has risen if he goes back to WWE. If he does return he'll probably be on NXT but honestly I wouldn't be surprised if Hunter has him on the main roster, at least starting out an then put him back on NXT TV unless Tony Kahn has a deal were he can't show up on WWE TV for part of his release.

They already had more guys coming in than they knew what to do with. I still believe if they get them on TV they'll be fine. They didn't help things when they continued to add more titles. There's no reason MJF should have been off they Dynamite after winning the title. I know he’s supposed to be the big money promo but they also have to end starting off with a talking segment. That format needed to end 20 years ago. Maybe the Unpopular opinion thar MJF actually becoming champion kills everything that made him special

It there any talent from the NXT 2.O area that's been a success on the main roster yet?

The Main Event was the best WWE/NXT War Games match so far. It was a slugfest and not just guys doing spots. Even bringing in the Tables made sense. The finish didn't come across as forcefully melodramatic as alot of Roman match can get at times. Also , I can see Roman moving his jaw to get his ear back to normal after that shot too

Since I kept falling asleep during Survivor Series. I've went back to watch most of the matches in full. I really thought the Triple treat was one of the best WWE has had. The match had what could've came off as very convoluted spots but everything flowed so well. It's insane how good Lashley is in his mid 40s too and Theory looked like he could really be something soon. I'm going to watch the main event tomorrow. AJ and Balor was really good too.

Wow I knew that was close to the end of his career but I had no clue it was his actual last match. He looked better than even the Kobashi match from '03

You think if Jey never got slotted into the singles Program against Roman while Jimmy was out do you think this Bloodline angle would be as Strong. The way Vince books things I doubt alot of this was his idea, and very rarely did he ever alow someone currently a part of a Tag team to be in a main event feud against the top singles guy. This whole Bloodline angle had to have been mostly Roman's idea. You can tell when he came back , he had as much control over his creative as anyone ever had. They booked accordingly along the way and lucked up on alot of things alot the way.

I kept falling asleep all night so I'll fo back and watch the main event and 3 way. From what I saw of the main event it was a straight slugfest , which is what you want from Seamus and Drew and all the Bloodline can bring it. The finish played in to the story they were trying to tell and it wasn't melodramatic which WWE is so egregious with. I'm excited to see where they go which WWE hasn't been able to get me excited about what's happening next in years atleast with the Bloodline thing. They've done a good job at making Owens seem like the biggest threat to Roman's title in the past few years too. I know he’s good lose again but they've managed to make him the clear number 2 guy in a matter of a week.

I think Swerve has really helped AEW with that considerably. I believe he has actually really networked with people in hip-hop as his has made a serious attempt to pursue his own ventures as an artist outside of wrestling. WWE has really missed the boat with tapping in with that market because most mainstream artists they work with are past their social relevancy or when they get someone that is. They are put in a role that the non wrestling fan can't take seriously. You got people like Wale and to a lesser extent Peter Rosenberg try to bridge that gap by having guts on his platform. AEW does a much better job featuring people like Ross and Trina and people like that who are actual wrestling fans. It was cool seeing Fabolous come out with Swerve and Keith Lee to the ring. Outside of thar one time with Snoop AEW doesn't have those forced "SportsCenter" "Extra" type moments WWE likes to have to get some outside attention.

RAW magazine had some dope covers that year mostly involved Bret

That's an interesting take. I've heard someone say that they feel he wouldn't been more effective if he never won the world title like his hero Roddy Piper . I don't know about that but he was the most over guy which if why that finish was so decisive as far as him being a Heel. With the last few title Reigns being cut short I expect atleast 2 PPV he'll walk in as Champ though. People say that when he wins the title it's not much further he can go. So I guess we will see because the fans really wanted it for him

I very rarely watch any weekly TVs from either but I very rarely have missed or not watched a WWE PPV since I got the WWE network in April 2014. I even still watch the NXT TakeOvers. The wrestling is always solid for the most part for the PPVs so I don't really complain. AEWs booking is alot more long term and that is refreshing compared to Vince and him Changing directions at a moments notice or giving up on people easily or 50/50 booking for the past 15 - 20 years. On top of the fact that Vince is got very stubborn in the fact and he was going to force the people to like his one top guy the he actually wasn't fickle on booking. Tony has done well booking wise , but the downside of long-term booking is you can't control injuries or people fighting to the point where they can't do business. I know people don't like the interim concept but that was his idea of having to keep his championship history strong without having to take the title off the person before he actually had to. Didnt Hunter talk about his long-term booking approach on the last investor call recently? Based on what I what I see on social media and being on this board , I'm in tuned with what's going on and I do notice some good changes under this new regime. Their is still alot of Vinces booking patterns that harder critics still find difficult to get past. I like how he's handed Austin Theory in the past too week or getting rid of the 24/7 title. I think both companies need more time to let this develop in AEWs case with Punk effected what should been for Full Gear and WWE I felt like people won't really get to fully assess Hunter as the Booker until after Mania.

I like Tony's booking. He likes longterm booking. He likes to give things time to build unlike what we were getting from Vince from years and years. Tony likes longterm build and storytelling. The downside of that is Injuries and other factors that may cause you for change things up. It's unfortunate Punk got injured twice and the other drama that forced him to have to switch the title several times more than he expected to this year.

I don't believe Bischoff had no intentions in Utilizing Bret to his full potential. I'm sure it was Hogan and maybe even Nash that got into Bischoff not using him correctly coming in. Out of all the top WWF guys it seems Bischoff wanted Bret the most. I don't understand why Bret wouldn't have just insisted on having a match at Starcade. He was an enforcer in the Main Event of WCWs Wrestlemania. Did he actually believe he was going to be the most over person in that match. Even as a 10 year old, I was wondering why is Bret is always in his street closes the first few weeks on TV. He was slotted right in the NWO not long after coming in. I could see him not wanting to get a reputation for saying no to everything but he would have been better off requesting to work with Benoit and the other work rate guys coming in. He came in with the belief that Bischoff wouldn't know what to do with him like Vince did but even if he did believe that, it's surprising he didnt come in wanting to do good in WCW to prove Vince wrong

Stings WWE run was as bad as Brets WCW run I'd say it's the closest comparisons for the level of stars. Both ended each person's career and both a political hit.

Flair in WWF by miles and miles. The first 6 months trumps Brets whole WCW run. Flairs WWF run didn't meet our expectations and he didn't get to be the Nature Boy but at least he came in as a big deal and he had the greatest Rumble performance and even though he didn't Main Event with Hulk, his Match with Savage was memorable and the Angle was okay too, good enough to continue it years later in 95 in WCW where the did good business

As self conscious as Austin is , I could see Austin thinking he and Rock wouldn't be able to keep up with the pace of the Usos because they go 1000 miles an hour and he probably thinks he needs another person like Sami that can work at their pace.

I had no clue Akiyama wasn't apart a NOAH, as closely as I've followed New Japan off and on the past decade I didn't know he was a DDT guy. I just found out Timothy Thatcher was in NOAH. Anyways I'll try to tune into Rampage to see him in AEW since I haven't seen Akiyama wrestle in years. Do TK have a working relationship with New Japan, NOAH and DDT?

Zayn , Owen's and Austin vs Solo and the Usos in a 6 man Survivor tag. Or Do an 8 man with Roman and the Bloodline and Rock on the other side.
