AxB 11,517 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Sammy and Marko are legit best mates. They got trapped in a freezer together and everything. I bet I'm the only person on the board who remembers how Taz' obsession with calling things Jones got started. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Goodear 3,200 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Okay so them being legit best friends is fine off the show, I'm not a Cornette,"they're feuding on television so they can't be seen together!!!" lunatic. But Sammy the character would not be friends with Marko Stunt the character and if you put it on the show, it does neither of them any good. They're playing a role and you're breaking immersion. I know this is a little thing no one will remember in two weeks, but it is a thing and they shouldn't have done it. Link to post Share on other sites
NikoBaltimore 4,757 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 (edited) There was another match a month or two ago where it was Sammy against Fuego Del Sol. Now they apparently are best friends if the Vlog's to be believed but there was nothing in the match to indicate that. So not sure why they did nothing the one match and a fist bump for last night. I do agree that it should have not been done. I will say though that there's some sort of build happening for Fuego against QT Marshall. It's a thing where QT talks shit about him every week and the past couple weeks Fuego's had enough and keeps challenging him to a match. And they also talk about Fuego being the master of the tornado DDT. So at some point they're eventually going to do this match. But the only problem is considering both are technically faces if you think a fist bump last night is strange imagine the head scratching when this match eventually happens. I'm hoping they bother explaining at least this one. Edited November 25, 2020 by NikoBaltimore Link to post Share on other sites

I wish I could say I've never done coke in a library, but I can't. I don't recall reading any books after. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Happy to see her get a chance to work with AEW. Her and her husband are both really good people. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Infinit 2,862 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Didn't he have some family training before he entered the WWE developmental system? And the dude is pretty talented and charismatic...I'm sure you could slot him into AEW and thrive. Link to post Share on other sites
colonial 293 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 So when Jurassic Express took on Joey Janela and Sonny Kiss a few weeks back on Dark, Janela had both the DDT Ironman Heavymetalweight and REW Pakistan 24/7 titles on the line. Both titles have changed hands a few times since ... I now half-expect Thunder Rosa to win the belts, for the sole purpose of posing for a picture with even more belts than her first photo. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
AxB 11,517 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 When did Joey win them off Orange Cassidy? Because it was he who pinned longtime double champ Dean Malenko (Dean was sleeping and they needed to get someone with quiet footsteps to do it). Link to post Share on other sites

He is a pure product of the system. I don't think one can reasonably make this case when Cody Rhodes is one of AEW's biggest and most talented stars. Expanding on this, guys who were largely developed in that system like Juice Robinson or Miro are either beloved or in the case of Miro given a lot of benefit of the doubt. Kurt Angle and Christian were largely a product of the WWE system, and they flourished in TNA. There are guys like Chad Gable who are largely a product of that system who people salivate over the thought of seeing work elsewhere. Then you consider how talented Roman is, the breadth of wrestlers he's worked with and learned from and grown alongside, the experience and knowledge he could get from his own family, etc. I don't think it's possible to look at this performer and dismiss him as a "product of the system." All this said, I doubt we'll ever find out how awesome he could be elsewhere. He's a WWE lifer or he'll eventually make the jump to movies.

Yeah, Reigns would be a star wherever he went. He’s got the look, the size, the charisma, and he’s good in the ring. If he got released today Tony Khan and every other promoter would immediately show up with the Brinks truck. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
