His best work that I have seen of him was against guys in Lucha Underground and other indies. I mean it that his decision then great There's always the chance he could do matches against men even if he's part of the women's division. But he could also have some great babyface fire in matches with the likes of Aja and Nyla. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get a trilogy, and keep both out of the title picture while someone else gets established. That would be a terrible decision. You don't have your top star lose in his first match in a new promotion to a nearly 50 year who is mostly known from your top competitor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewar Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Meltzer is e-mailing his subscribers with ticket sales links for AEW. I guess journalistic integrity has officially left the station. Does this leave Bix as the last real pro wrestling journalist? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archibald Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 What you are saying makes sense, but problem is that they don't really have many people that can main event so Jericho might win to extend their "program" till other people are introduced and properly set up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not advocating for this, just wondering... and also trying to speculate about wrestling rather than ratings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there is GameChanger . if they are not co-opted he wouldn't mind being it. Yeah Jericho shouldn't be beating Omega. if he has to get a win to feed his ego there are plenty of guys to do that. Also I am not overly confident that Jericho is a full time AEW guy. if you do have Jericho beat Omega you better make damn sure there is a 4th match.

RIPPA Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 This is the exact email (I am leaving the formatting so you can follow the links) AEW Double or Nothing takes shape All Elite Wrestling held their ticket announcement party Thursday night in Las Vegas and announced ticket onsale dates, new signings, and even a few matches for Double or Nothing, the follow-up to All In. Here's what you need to know: Catch the replay of the hour-plus show in case you missed it. Ticket onsale dates were announced for next week and it's expected the show will sell out based on the pre-sale interest alone. Kenny Omega officially announced he is all in with AEW as did several other signees. One former foe didn't take kindly to Omega's presence. Here's a look at the expected card based on what we learned Thursday. AEW announced a partnership with AAA. Subscribers should be on the lookout for some WOR audio from the event later tonight including a few interviews. - Your friends at WO/FFO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I really didn't think that this one would sell out as fast as All In until I saw the news about some 12k people getting into that pre-order or whatever it was. I hope they keep the prices reasonable like they did for All In. Speaking of ticket prices, how are they able to offer tickets at such a lower price point than WWE? Are they taking a loss on it, is WWE just that confident people will overspend because of the WWE name, 6 of one and half a dozen of the other? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thibs Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Meltzer stanning for these guys is news all of a sudden? The same guy who’s answer to them having/not havin a wellness policy was “they don’t drink”? Blatantly whore-ing himself out like this is a new low though. Not because he wasn’t doing it before— because he was— but because he’s so brazen about it now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume it's legit. Daniels has pretty much been everywhere and knows everybody. If you're going to have a worker in that position, he'd be the best pick. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m assuming they will be fairly higher than All In, the production will certainly be better and the talent will be getting a lot more. This is gonna sell out in 10 minutes on the presale.

TheVileOne Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I did sign up for the presale and there has been no word on ticket prices. To be honest, a little underwhelming that all they did was announce presale signups and a presale date yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 4 hours ago, Archibald said: As for Page. He shouldn't main event this, he doesn't have it yet and, me being a jerk, he probably will never have it. Yeah, I think you’re being a bit of a jerk here. I really don’t see how anyone could possibly write off Page as never having “it” after the year he’s had, where he’s clearly made demonstrable progress toward “it.” His development is self-evident. Last night, he had great presence and total command of that stage while he was out there, and just generally came off cool as fuck. He has legit, old school baby face charisma, and definitely ticks the boxes on the old “men want to be him, women want to be with him” checklist for wrestling stardom. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
