Raziel Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Just now, Oyaji said: Marty's signed with ROH for who knows how long. People are guessing at ~6-8 months. WWE will obviously try to sign him too. Looking at how expensive airfare and hotels are for a possible trip. I doubt I'll do it but it would be fun despite not having any desire to be in Las Vegas. What's the source on this? I don't have one, that was the month I heard tossed around the most. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Kay Lee Ray and Viper are NXT UK bound, along with Alpha Female. Just in case questions about the other two come up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 But Bea Priestly is coming to AEW, right? So Ayeesha is the only WoS woman without a deal... although apparently one of the Owens twins was there but not used. Oh well. Is WoS officially dead now?

I'm pretty sure Priestly and Ospreay just moved to Japan. One would think working for AEW would be a major hassle, but who knows. The rumors are/were that she's a part of the AEW women's division, though. World Of Sport is probably dead, though. At least the women's side of things, anyway. The title changed hands 3 or 4 times within the span of two weeks during their most recent tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I did not see the entire presser but two things. 1. They look BIG LEAGUE. Production values were great. I guess that can happen when dude is a billionaire. 2. I can't complain about any of these signings. I wanted them to get Omega and the Lucha Bros and they completed that task. Maybe they need a few more people but it's looking like a great roster on paper. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Brandi listed Sonny Kiss in her tweet about the women’s division. And I’m just now learning that Nyla Rose is transgender, which is pretty cool. If this was WWE, they’d be beating us over the head with that fact. A lot of people are going to hate that Sonny and Nyla are a part of AEW, and their women’s division, but they’re already pushing boundaries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thibs Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Production value was top notch. This thing is gonna look just as good as WWE if not better. Creative is what it is. It’s gonna be dudes with unexplained nicknames and no character telling each other they’re the best for two hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice Guy Eddie Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I didn't see the presser as I was at the nxt house show in Toms River, NJ. I'll check this out when I get home, but from what I've read here, I'm very excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Guys we need to brainstorm on how they can explain the “Best Bout Machine” nickname for Kenny Omega to....casual fans.... without having back to back to back matches on their TV show. Because who the fuck watches wrestling to see wrestling matches. ANY IDEAS??? 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, if you want to watch a weekly wrestling show that doesn’t feature too much wrestling... there’s 5 hours of it on Monday and Tuesdays on the USA Network. This product obviously isn’t going to be for you - almost all of the roster so far are “cruiserweights”, no MAINSTREAM names, too much wrestling, “no creativity”... so, why are you still here? The production got you that hype? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You asked who would watch a wrestling show for a bunch of meaningless matches and I gave you four or five examples of that type of show that barely anyone watches. This isn’t a debate. On your second point, you’re not wrong. I was holding out hope that there would be a good mix of story and wrestling. There doesn’t seem to be so I’ll wait until they try to pull this shit on TV to the tune of 200K viewership and (possibly) wake up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Viewership isn’t high for ROH’s syndicated show that airs in my area on Saturday nights when it’s not bumped by college football? SHOCKING. When are we going expecting them to start announcing titles? I assume they’ll wait for TV, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
