Cobra Commander Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 the one catch about anybody trying to be a new company involves not accidentally soaking some market because you just happen to live in a place where there's already a newish fed going on. So the level of success could differ a bit depending on stuff like "where does the guy putting the money down for this promotion live compared to other money marks" Although if one really wants to be a money mark, trying to throw some money forward to take the time on Sinclair channels/networks if ROH doesn't come back is an idea. Like the Bally's networks have to air something at 12:30am on a Friday night, right? you'd think that "paying for your time" is a better deal for them if they didn't want to pay for an entire fed? Maybe just spot shows at first until we figure out who actually wants to do a fed full-time is an idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 (edited) Nia Jax, Karrion Kross, Scarlett and Keith Lee stand out as surprised to me. Nia Jax with how long she was there/hurting opponents/who she's related to, Kross/Scarlett even with the contrast from NXT to main roster booking, ditto for Keith Lee. Such a difference from Lee's Survivor Series 2019 to everything since then including losing the NXT Championship so soon after winning it ending Adam Cole's long reign to Kross.

I do think Havoc was the only one they actually let go and were justified in doing so. What is he up to? Delivery driver for DPD: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Ray Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 I'd hate to see what they'd do if they lost money. B-Fab is baffling. You just called her up, you just signed her to a new contract next week and you fire her?

chriskbrown50 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Eva feels like a throwback to the 90s when WWE would hype something big time (see Mantaur) - then it would not work at well and said person was gone before you knew it. Ember Moon - someone who could have been so much more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joseph2112 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 I guess it's too much to expect a company that is making record money hand over fist to at least honor the contracts that they signed. I'd like a comp of any other company in the world, ever, if it exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an established brand and there's plenty of talent they could bring in. If they could find a competent booker they'd have a shot at being successful. Wasn't the last season of Lucha Underground exclusive to Netflix or am I totally mis-remembering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a difference from Lee's Survivor Series 2019 to everything since then including losing the NXT Championship so soon after winning it ending Adam Cole's long reign to Kross. By most accounts Nia Jax is pretty beloved backstage. When the weirdness with Charlotte happened, there was scuttlebutt in support of Nia, to the effect that Charlotte was acting on her self-inflated ego but against one of the few women she couldn’t impose her will on physically, hence the awkwardness. The Becky/Charlotte segment somewhat vindicates this view. Now the ’reckless’ stigma is a separate matter but as the AEW is prioritizing a good-vibe locker room, the attitude is a factor. Edit to add: given the above, it’s all the more bizarre that she has been cut. Maybe an anti-vax thing? Edited November 5, 2021 by Custos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 A source is telling the Post that one of the factors in Jax being released was her being unvaccinated. But New York Post, grain of salt and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
