John E. Dynamite Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) "Ben Carter Isn't British" is the kind of catchy, doofy thing young AEW talents can build recurring bits on BTE around. The only other Jerseyman (it's Jerseyman, right? Jerseyperson?) anybody in the US has heard of is that guy who's The Witcher. He should run with it for a little while.

Custos Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 ‘Basically French’ is a bit of overstatement. Keeping on the football theme (and dating myself) Matt Le Tissier, from Guernsey, played for England after all. The trouble with signing all the great talent is then you need to have something for them to do that doesn’t push out the existing great talent even with more TV coming along. Archer was in a holding pattern backstage for weeks and weeks before being featured again in the Battle Royal. Less of an issue for the ladies, and they should snap up whoever they can, but I would be more judicious with the men. Matt Sydal is a head-scratcher for example. But that said I wouldn’t pass up a prospect like Ben Carter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Is Sydal on a similar short term deal like Cardona? They booked Shawn Spears over him, so that's not a great sign if he's around long term. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Sydal isn’t signed, he’s working the ROH Pure Title Tournament I’m pretty sure. I doubt AEW would allow him to do that if he was signed full time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 And Ben Carter was one of those people. Yeah that is a great way to encourage new talent to work Dark. I mean if you aren't a Sloppy shop then people who have only worked there for 3 weeks shouldn't be getting it. Unless unfortunately he was the one that had it and then it goes to your testing issues 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenalysis Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Well, at least they got tested and found out. AEW is apparently adding a test after shows at the home now in addition to what they were doing. Even without a sloppy shop you're going to get some positives unless you do a full bubble.

EVA Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Speculation right now seems to be that one or both of the Warrior Wrestling shows that took place between Dynamite tapings may be the culprit in spreading this. Carter and Cage wrestled each other on one of them. We’ll definitley have a clearer picture after the Dark card for next weeks is announced. Jurassic Express wasn’t on the show last night, and while that’s not unprecedented, it is unusual. They’re on nearly every Dynamite. If they aren’t on Dark, something’s up with them, and Luchasaurus was on one of those Warrior shows. Dark regular Pillman was, too. Tay Conti also.

NikoBaltimore Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 It's sad I had to look up what sloppy shop was referring to. But it doesn't surprise me this happened. Like Alstein said unless you do a full bubble there's chances of positives happening. No matter safe AEW has been that's the unfortunate reality. And I fear with things getting worse that more will get it no matter safe they try to be. Going forward I think one thing that might work is to maybe space it out where certain people just aren't on for a couple weeks. Have them quarantine per protocol and stagger their appearances if you need to. And if that's not an option then at this point just have it be a season and go full bubble. Do however many tapings without a crowd and after it ends then they can go home and not travel. They've been doing a great job so far especially considering they're in Florida. But there's always more that AEW can do for the safety of everybody involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Wasn't Joey Janela on that Warrior Wrestling show though? Butcher and Blade are on the podcast this week. Which may well have been recorded two weeks ago, rather than yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godfrey Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 It's surprising to me that AEW is trusting indie promotions to bring their wrestlers in safely. I wouldn't let my contracted people out of my sight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
