We don't know since he's never been in that position before, but I wouldn't want to be the one to tell him his performance isn't up to snuff and he's being fired.

Jiji Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 This person is not a journalist and I couldn't find any corroborating stories, but Fulham did get ousted from the FA Cup by a 2nd division team (a 4th tier league in actuality). Tony Khan, the rare analytics nerd with a short temper. I eagerly await him having pull apart brawls with WWE trolls at AEW shows. I'm guessing this is a response to people suggesting she's unqualified. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxB Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 If the American promotions are going to start picking up more Joshi wrestlers, presumably at least one would decide signing ASUKA (not Kana from WWE, the other one) might get them some mainstream publicity, from the curiosity factor, and the contentious issue factor . Like when TNA had that Sergeant who'd lost his leg in the war. Except ASUKA would be able to stick around for more than a couple of matches because she can actually work. I think Sarge was more a guy who had a dream of having a wrestling match on television, but didn't really want a wrestling career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurningBeard Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Is this the wellspring of another boom do you think? How does that even look in 2019 compared to 1998? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it definitely could be. You’re already seeing it with the bidding war over talent. They key is television. Despite the “traditional TV is dying” narrative, you still need a serious TV deal to become legitimized. If this company can get on a serious channel (TNT/TBS) and draw numbers that are comparable to Smackdown, for example, they’ll be seen as a equal to WWE. And I think that’s when serious competition can begin. Competition = boom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodear Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 21 hours ago, Thibs said: I mean you can definitely have the creative mind but not everyone can translate to a producer/creative/management role. I dont think Dustin has done anything like that before. But he does have the pedigree so who knows. Like Bobby Eaton couldn't be a trainer because he was too much of a natural worker. It happens that those who can, can't teach. They call him the Natural. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like one of the issues they need to work through is that they can't be ROH2 and New Japan Jr. otherwise why would they bother to separate? If its up to me (it's not), I would be quickly working to differentiate from other companies and focus on what makes you unique. The more they can make their roster unique, the better off they would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beech27 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I know it says “the last year.” I also know when the rally is, and that this is the friendliest outlet Kenny could hope to find. So I’m not saying I know what he says; but I know what that suggests to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted January 7, 2019 Author Share Posted January 7, 2019 I have no idea how credible prowrestlingsheet is, but they are reporting SCU signed. Which obviously wouldn't be surprising given they got the countdown texts and are on the rally poster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more they can make their roster unique, the better off they would be. Can they make their roster more unique or will they be fighting over the same guys along with ROH, MLW, and Impact? I was perfectly happy with All In being a collaborative effort. I'd rather see working arrangements rather than another ROH vs. Gabe battle, which hurt everybody involved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
