Wrestling-style wise? Because they’re the shaved head tag team. I remember them having a ton of buzz early on and then years later I saw a photo and they had turned into the hillbillies.

Log Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 It is really fun that anytime you see a Japanese star coming to the US for dates, there's a good chance of them showing up on AEW TV in some sort of dream match. Think about how crazy that would sound to like 2010 us. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really did not appreciate it enough as a kid getting to see Ultimo, Kaz Hyashi, Chono, Muta and so many more on WCW TV - having a much better understanding of contracts at 35 than I did at 9 makes me realize the gravity and the specialness, and as you say, the pure fun 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExcellenceofAirPollution Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 https://www.f4wonline.com/news/aew/william-regal-says-original-plans-for-aew-role-never-transpired Says he didn't expect to be on screen as much as he was. I'm guessing the original role was going to be more scouting? Tony bought ROH after Regal came in IIRC, the roster is huge, and they have guys out there working the indies scouting first hand. They didn't really need a talent scout like WWE did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf&Subs Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 (edited) Regal is truly better off in the WWE. It’s like they said, they already have people like that. Honestly the WWE doesn’t really need him as a scout either. They have more modern guys that can search for this talent too. And to be honest with Vince back in charge, he won’t want the kind of people that Regal would find either. So it’s looking like if he gets back in it’ll be a superficial role within the WWE. Which is perfectly fine, but let’s see if Vince wants that now that he’s back hovering over his son-in-law Edited January 18, 2023 by LoneWolf&Subs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Green Meanie Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 In the middle of January, I have to give props to two wrestlers that have significantly improved in my eyes and have really made a difference in watching AEW programing: Brian Cage and Ethan Page Both were just dreadful, unentertaining vacuums of charisma prior, I'd usually change the channel when they came on. I'm totally digging the path (so far) they've made with Cage as far as having a longer, more entertaining and competitive match with local talent he's been doing lately. Coupled with Prince Nana who is absolutely great, he's improved so much since his Team Tazz days. Ethan Page (like I mentioned in the Youtube thread) was just awful during the Men Of The Year/ATT days, as his stint there was very boring to me. I'm absolutely loving what he's been doing with Hardy Party, it really makes entertaining viewing during Dark Elevation and Dark, despite Cranky-Ass Isiah trying to stop him. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
