He's said he never wears the white hat well, even though the fans almost always go for him. Page OTOH is as natural a babyface as we've had come down the pipeline in years. I do think AEW is in a danger zone with Hangman- he's starting to git of Naito's smell in the not really winning the big one. He has to go over Mox, maybe even give Mox his well-earned vacation. Maybe a Loser Leaves for 30-90 days stip to their next match, perhaps after Hangman gives Mox a concussion, and TK gets tired of them interfering with each other? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolphman 3000 Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 (edited) Tony Khan Discusses Why Talent Doesn’t Always See The Spotlight At AEW Quote On why some talent isn’t in the focus from show to show: “You have people that are going to be a focus week-to-week. Eddie’s a big part of tonight’s show, we’ll see Eddie on ‘Rampage,’ tonight. There are dozens of wrestlers featured on ‘Dynamite’ and ‘Rampage’ every week, and throughout those three hours you see lots of names, but there’s lots of names you aren’t seeing in AEW every week, and sometimes they’re silent about that, and sometimes there’s a reason: somebody’s hurt, somebody’s working on another project, somebody’s getting repackaged, or frankly there’s just not enough slots on three hours.” On the unique dynamic between a company and the roster in the wrestling industry: “It’s not really common in the NFL for the backup quarterback to complain to the coach that he’s not playing. It’s not common in the NBA for the backup point guard to slight the coach because he’s not getting minutes.” On how he handles frustrations from the locker room: “I take it with a smile, and I’ll keep taking it with a smile. It’s ok. I understand that everyone wants to wrestle and wants to do things.” Literally calls anyone not on AEW TV second-stringers Insulting your roster is great for morale!

Why do you constantly have a stick up your ass about Tony Khan? I don't think they need an unofficial morale checker. I highly doubt anyone is going to take what he says as criticism. Also, a 1/3 of the people here are critical of anyone getting put on Dark and see that as a relegation/demotion anyway. He can be honest and say it's not exactly the main product especially when it's been used as a tool to keep the talent busy and get folks experience. Hell, prior to the Monday Night Wars, that's what most of the TV product was anyway. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine question bruv, do you enjoy AEW or do you just try and facilitate news in as negative of a way as possible for strife? It's really odd that a majority of the time I see your posts, they are always in some negative connotation. Especially when it comes to Tony Khan, because I'm starting to feel like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day and let me tell you something, I'm not THAT old yet. If you aren't a fan of TK, that's fair - to each their own - but at some point trying to dress up a quote as something it's not is kind of off putting to a lot of us. And I guarantee you a majority of posters on here will agree that you do exactly that. 7 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 So, I'd like for them to repeat the LayCool/Kaval dynamic with TayJay and Daniel Garcia at Sammy's behest for a few weeks but I imagine no one else wants this to happen. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Bones Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 People just want the validation that comes from feeling like they might have a say in controlling the narrative on a popular topic. Problem is… you can’t force it without blowback. For every hair band or boy band that had a hot minute. They always fade into the ether as the flash in the pan that kind of thing always is. Naturally. But for every Star Wars Special Edition or whatever that doesn’t meet some peoples standards. Vitriol and dogpiles haven’t made it all go away. It’s shoveling sand against the tide.

StuntmanCrowley Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Well, in my opinion, there is a vast difference between voicing your opinion on a specific wrestler, or offering criticism towards a promotion/wrestler, etc compared to what this fucking clown is doing over and over and over and over. It's almost like he just enjoys coming here, screaming into the void and as someone put it "outrage mining" Personally, that's a pretty pathetic existence to me, but to each their own. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shartnado Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Watched the Dynamite episode from 2020 that begins with PAC vs Omega 30-minute Iron Man and has the final build towards Revolution 2020. After that, I watched the inagural Fight for the Fallen, for the most part. Didn't get around to Rhodes Boys vs Young Bucks yet, but good stuff anyway. It's just funny that after the past month, seeing PAC vs Kenny going another 30 minutes (albeit the first time one on one), was like, I think I've seen this already. It was really good, but I kept thinking, did PAC and Adam Page ever have a match after the first one fell through? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might have been the first episode actually, or the 2nd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
