Curt McGirt Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 Loved Tony bring up the Sleaze Thread and Alvarez shutting it down by changing the subject IMMEDIATELY. 1 3
Jiji Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 At this stage, the only joy I find in JR is Deadlock making fun every week multiple times. It cracks me up every time. As a commentator, he's horrendous. Their job is to promote and hype up wrestlers and matches. He does that for about 3 or 4 people that fits his narrow scope of what wrestlers should look and act like and for others often is disinterested or even undermines them. I don't even care about the slip ups. I care more about the intent to drag the fucking show down. Doing the Waldorf and Statler shit would be fine on a podcast or backstage but has zero space on the actual commentary. 1 1 1
Jenalysis Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 Apparently Tony Khan confirmed today he used to be on this board 20 years ago. 1
HarryArchieGus Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 JD Drake is a fantastic pro wrestler. He might be smart to steal one of Ray Traylor’s looks (Bossman included). He and Kingston put on a reason to tune into Dark. 2

Really good and good story in the match too with Tay's lack of composure costing her ,and Nyla busting out some moves you don't usually see from her. Tay Conti continues to impress, everytime out she looks better, Her, Anna Jay, Britt Baker have tons of upside 4

Yeah, the thread was started by "Coach Tony K," who asked for the sleaziest stories we'd heard about wrestling. Damn, we're old. 7
Casey Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 I like that he did HTML design for a tape trader and was paid in tapes. 1
Flair’s Shadow Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 (edited) https://mobile.twitter.com/maki_itoh/status/1364594062943133700 I’m not sure who has the bigger crush. My crush of Maki Itoh...or Maki Itoh’s crush on AEW? But it’s all good. Itoh Respect Army coming to AEW very soon. Edited February 24, 2021 by Flair’s Shadow 1
The Natural Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 (edited) https://www.allelitewrestling.com/post/wrestling-legend-paul-wight-signs-long-term-deal-with-aew WOW. Paul Wight signs with AEW to wrestle and commentate. New show called AEW Dark: Elevation spotlighting AEW talent with those on the independent scene. Said shows airs Monday. AEW Dark on a Tuesday. AEW Dynamite on a Wednesday. Edited February 24, 2021 by The Natural 2 1
Zimbra Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 Huh, I thought for sure that Wight would be a WWE lifer. 5

Valcourt Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 Interesting signing... What does Wight bring to AEW though? They have a bunch of legends... Not at all interested in him in the ring.

hammerva Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 (edited) I am not sure why you would sign Paul Wight for commentating? Especially when you have 4 or 5 already. As far as wrestling, it is going to look like a massive mismatch against the vast majority of talent and unfortunately might expose Wardlow & Luchasaurus as being not as tall as you think Hopefully AEW Elevation turns into Dark apparently and is a 3 hour show so it is the longest running show in AEW Edited February 24, 2021 by hammerva 2
Valcourt Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 Monday show going against RAW? I thought the Khans weren't interested in going against Football?
The Natural Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 I'd have passed on Paul's signing. We'll see how it turns out. AEW Dark: Elevation is a necessary addition for AEW. With the large AEW roster, hope those who need the TV time missing out on it get it through this. 2
Infinit Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 WOW. PAUL WIGHT IS ALL ELITE https://www.allelitewrestling.com/post/wrestling-legend-paul-wight-signs-long-term-deal-with-aew 1
hammerva Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 So I guess that Elevation will be their NXT show as it is most guys like the Nightmare training school that is clogging up the Dark show right now. I don't know what you turn Dark into though. Maybe it will go back it's original live to tape version because I can't imagine when they do have TV tapings outside of Jacksonville we are getting a 90 minute taping of Lee Johnson and Dr Luther matches
