username Posted October 7, 2022 Posted October 7, 2022 I feel like Tony is missing the fact that there are options between "doing nothing" and "fines/suspensions", namely the dog house. It is less effective as people already go months without appearing on tv for no particular reason but if when someone acts out in a clearly dickish way they get less tv time, no angles and are just used to put others over for several months it probably sends enough of a "hey don't be a dick" message that ideally most will recognize it. Granted it can always backfire in individual cases (I am 90% sure Andrade was in the dog house in WWE when he asked for his release based on circumstantial evidence) but clearly it seems like a good time to consider at least trying something.
DEAN Posted October 7, 2022 Posted October 7, 2022 Andrade is the new Austin Aries. Will he move on to being the new Alberto? 2

Andrade was barely even getting booked before this. 1

Ziggy Posted October 7, 2022 Posted October 7, 2022 Which Promotion Andre's affiliated with that's preventing him from working New Japan? I thought for sure he signed with AEW he'd be touring Japen from time to time

odessasteps Posted October 7, 2022 Posted October 7, 2022 Hasnt he and the other Munoz Family members worked for AAA this year?

Yeah and he burned that bridge too in the same Sammy interview. Man, next week would be Kenny’s first major league show in Canada, right? I know roh/new japan did a big crowd in Chicago for Kenny’s first time, but they never did Toronto right? That’s a damn shame. Edit: has he only done his local Indies or anything else? Edited October 7, 2022 by matt925
Unnatural Posted October 7, 2022 Posted October 7, 2022 (edited) Seemingly lost in all the chatter about picking up ex-WWE guys is that not all of their signings came from there But there's certainly valid points about picking up new people for the first pop and then letting months go by with no direction after the initial "feel good" honeymoon period Edited October 7, 2022 by Hayabusa 5
Dolfan in NYC Posted October 7, 2022 Posted October 7, 2022 Meltzer is reporting that Saraya has been cleared to wrestle in AEW by Dr. Michael Sampson. ...
(BP) Posted October 7, 2022 Posted October 7, 2022 I’m no big city doctor, but I would’ve yelled “hey Saraya” and she would’ve done this and I would’ve not cleared her. 1 12

For Great Justice Posted October 7, 2022 Posted October 7, 2022 She’s about to have a lights out match with Britt isn’t she 2 1
Zakk_Sabbath Posted October 7, 2022 Posted October 7, 2022 22 hours ago, SprintingFromAmerica said: Just job him out on Dark every week as Fuego 3. This would send the right message, honestly. I was thinking something sort of along these lines too: send him on excursion to Impact or NWA, and try to recoup a small percentage of his deal by essentially being his booking agent - basically, treat him the way Moolah treated her trainees (FINANCIALLY, I must stress). 14 minutes ago, For Great Justice said: She’s about to have a lights out match with Britt isn’t she Sometimes those plunder matches can be safer than a regular bout, though, it really depends how much she wants to test it 4

hammerva Posted October 7, 2022 Posted October 7, 2022 12 hours ago, DEAN said: Andrade is the new Austin Aries. Will he move on to being the new Alberto? I think Sammy is more Austin Aries frankly. I don't get the vibe that Andrade wants the attention and wants to start shit. Has no problem finishing it though. It feels like Sammy wakes up every morning and thinks "so what kind of shit can I do today" 4

What are some of her best matches? and how long has she been out? hasn't it been a number of years? scary coming back after such a major injury and so much time away.

Though, like a movie that was groundbreaking for it’s time before the methods created were later mastered, the Bayley/Sasha/Charlotte/Becky stuff blows it away so I’m not sure how hindsight will treat it. 3 1
hammerva Posted October 7, 2022 Posted October 7, 2022 I really can't think of a good main roster Paige match. Mostly because when they decided to "give Divas a Chance" she was having issues. Her stuff in NXT especially with Emma was very good in my opinion 1
