(BP) Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Sometimes I wish I’d become a wrestler, then I realize I just want to get paid to have body dysmorphia instead of doing it for free like now. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 So am I the only one having a hard time connecting that control freak, dress code, no sneezing, no yawning Brodie Lee and his lackeys are the same stable as Evil Uno and Stu Grayson being creepy perverts, recruiting jobbers and beating people up in the woods? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxB Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 If the Brodie Lee vignettes had featured Uno and Grayson (as well as Silver and Reynolds that one time) it might glue it together better. But the Covid-19 has played major havoc with a lot of AEW booking. I'm fairly sure Proud & Powerful, Private Party, MJF & Wardlow, Big Swole, Nyla, the other 2/3 of Jurassic Express, Riho et cetera wouldn't all have completely disappeared from the shows if flying them in had been an option. I mean, the Florida & Georgia crew are doing the TV, and the Calfornia people are appearing on BTE, but the New York crew (and the geographically far flung, like Hangman) are invisible. Can't they tape some promos or something? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my head Brodie told them to knock that shit off and laid down the law. But that's me filling in the logic gaps though it would be nice to see some evidence of that. And noting your next post yeah they could have found a way to use Zoom or something to get them all together but they might have preferred filming it the way they normally film things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He still gives Bischoff shit about that cause they wouldn't fly him out to WCW tapings since he lived in New Hampshire or wherever the hell he lived in the Northeast at the time.

Flair’s Shadow Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 So how close are we to seeing Arn Anderson + Revival in AEW? Does it happen in the TNT Championship Match between Cody and Lance Archer? Tully Blanchard Arn Anderson Revival...or whatever their new name will be. Spears Sign me up baby!

Taya is a cast member? Is she done with Impact? Anything else weird or wacky been going? It seems know to be a showcase for the West Coast guys under lockdown. Taya (along with John Morrison) have appeared before in a segment with Jurrasic Express. They were walking a dog while Luchasaurus was walking Marko.

RIPPA Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 This is from the new WON (about all their tapings) Quote AEW finished a marathon set of tapings on 4/2 in Decatur, GA, at Q.T. Marshall’s school. The tapings were done with a skeleton crew. Unlike WWE and UFC, talent from certain parts of the country were not going to be brought in, most notably California and New York City. In addition, all talent was told that they didn’t have to come and they would be paid in full. The tapings were for Dynamite and Dark through as long as 5/20. Depending on the situation, it is possible they could do another taping in early or mid-May, but if not, they have enough covered and there won’t be any tapings for several weeks. AEW used mostly talent that lives in the Southeast and a few from Texas, but will have footage of talent not there for television. Jon Moxley, who is based in Las Vegas, had his 4/15 title match with Jake Hager taped at the prior set of tapings. Jim Ross will be used as the commentator for this specific match, doing voiceovers from home, as it will be from Daily’s Place in Jacksonville while the rest of the show next week will be from Decatur, GA. Aubrey Edwards, who is based in Seattle, stayed in the area since this started as Tony Khan also told talent that they could avoid flying back-and-forth if they wanted to stay in Jacksonville or in the area and the company would pay for their lodging through this set of tapings. The TNT tournament is taped up until the finals. Tony Schiavone and Chris Jericho will be the announcing team for all the remaining shows from Georgia. The next major event, the 5/23 Double or Nothing show, remains up in the air. There are three choices, all obvious, based on what will be allowed in Las Vegas. The show is booked for the MGM Grand and was about 1,500 ticket shy of being sold out a month ago, but it’s doubtful many if any tickets have moved in recent weeks. If fans are allowed, which at this point feels like it is very unlikely, it will be a regular show. If fans are not allowed, they could either do an empty arena show in Las Vegas, or an empty arena show at another location. It is also possible they could move the date of the PPV. The MGM Grand has canceled all events in May except AEW although MGM Resorts has said all events are canceled through 6/1,which in theory would include AEW. The MGM Grand web site was still selling tickets for both the 5/23 Double or Nothing show and the 5/27 Dynamite on 4/9. The AEW Southern California crew, notably The Young Bucks, SCU, Peter Avalon and Brandon Cutler, along with Simon Lotto and Steven Andrews taped matches for Being the Elite this past week. The bouts were basic matches, actually quite good wrestling-wise but toned down in the risk department, Excalibur doing voiceover work completely tongue-in-cheek. The location was a ring set up on a tennis and basketball court that was in Rancho Cucamonga, CA. Excalibur called it the AEW Compound and would talk of a capacity crowd with nobody else there. They also showed the guys lifting weights and getting ready in what is Nick Jackson’s home gym. Last week on the show Matt and Nick were training in the same ring with the idea that Nick was trying to get ready for a return. It was brothers training together and it seemed okay but it’s still in a state under lockdown. At this point doing matches in California even with just a few people didn’t feel right. In a sense you could compare it to training at a gym, or perhaps kids playing on the playground with each other, except it was pro wrestling matches. The issue is all gyms are closed and playgrounds I believe are closed as well (beaches and playgrounds are all closed here). They were the only ones following the ten-person in a gathering limit that AEW and WWE were not doing. The matches had four people and a referee, were outdoors, had one camera man near the ring and another person shooting from very far away, looking like more than 60 feet let alone six feet.

(BP) Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 (edited) 15 minutes ago, Ultimo Necro said: Not me, I’d be a terrible Tony Khan. Exactly. Step 1) I brag about how I’m finally going to do a wrestling show right. Step 2) I’m the inaugural champion. Step 3) I spend half of my budget stealing Rey from Vince because I’m convinced he’s the most famous star that I can lift in a match. I try to gorilla press slam him and throw my back out. Step 4) I book a dream rematch of Rey Mysterio vs Scott Steiner’s tiger for my vacated title while on muscle relaxers. It falls apart when Rey and the tiger cannot agree on a finish.

AxB Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Announced for next week's Dynamite: Sammy Guevara vs 'Pineapple Pete' Suge D. Wouldn't be surprised if this was originally pencilled in for Dark and moved up to TV after Jericho got Suge over so strongly last week. Even though most likely it's a squash, hopefully Suge gets signed to a proper deal off the back of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They beat up the fat guy in the woods because his motivation for joining was that he just wanted friends. Brodie Lee beat up the jobber for losing. Jobbers are recruited for strength in numbers but weakness is unacceptable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf&Subs Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 I think Suge is signed, or at least it hasn’t been made public yet. He had a shirt just made for him by AEW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
