They have a Women's tournament called the Mae Young Classic. And they have a Cruiserweight Tournament, called... the Cruiserweight Classic. What, they couldn't think of any legendary Light Heavyweights or Super Juniors to name it after? Tiger Mask? Dynamite Kid? Taka Michinoku? Brian Christopher*? Hopefully if it happens in 2020 it can be the Jushin Liger Classic. How about Pegasus Kid? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 2 hours ago, AxB said: * Speaking of whom, when they were doing the Memphis Legends deal on AEW Dark, obviously Jerry Lawler couldn't be seen on camera at the show. But was he actually in the building? Because it's sort of a shame if he wasn't. I mean, I don't like the guy on commentary (and never have), but when Justin Roberts was running down the careers and legacies of the legends there, he brought up Lawler as everyone's greatest feud. Whilst there are wrestlers who are Memphis legends, he's the guy who is The Memphis Legend. If he wasn't in attendance, it's kind of like not being invited to your own Birthday party. I imagine Lawler wasn't there. Even if they had did what Randy Hales wanted and started calling people early, getting Lawler would probably still be a challenge. Anyone working for WWE knows it would start some shit if they end up being spotted at an AEW event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boydy Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Did anyone else enjoy the Mastiff Vs Ohno match on NXT UK this week, I really enjoyed it and I think it was my favorite match of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Custos Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Arguably their most significant cruiserweight ever, a man who broke down barriers and shattered conventions everywhere he travelled in his storied career, is a man who’s still going too strong as an active wrestler to just be a name on a tournament... Yes, the nZo Classic is going to have to wait a few years... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've also reminded me of the following: No wonder the artist formerly known as Neville quit WWE after the above and booked to lose to Enzo F'n Amore. That looks exactly like the shirts we were given for gym class in middle school. Just so God damn lazy. And he was already saddled with that awful name. Adrian was terrible enough because it was so close to the singer Aaron, and then just Neville on its own sounds like some kind of weird B-character in Harry Potter or Game of Thrones or something. I'm really hoping once the details of the second show are hammered out, AEW adds a secondary title and makes him the first champion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
