JLowe Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 12 hours ago, Teflon Turtle said: It can be hard to recognize in the moment, but those types of choices around stuff like this - especially when there are kids involved - can truly have generational consequences. If Mox made the choice to seek treatment with his family in mind first, my respect for him is up tenfold. One hopes that AEW can be a supportive environment (seemingly so, based on what we've seen from wrestlers speaking up online) so Mox can continue to succeed with this and his family can reap the benefits. Considering that at least 3 of their upper level performers are straight edge, I think Mox could find supportive people. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 I really feel that Miro is the underdog going into his upcoming match with Bryan Danielson. That's how good Danielson's booking has been since he arrived. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teflon Turtle Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 @JLowe Very true, and now that you mention it, it's definitely more than three. Punk being the most obvious. I don't think Omega or Danielson drink at all. Young Bucks...I don't recall if they've come right out and said they're straightedge, but I don't believe they've ever been into anything at all. Dustin Rhodes has experience with turning his life around. I guess my thought was also whether Mox is actually that close with any of these guys, and if not, would either side be comfortable building those bridges. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defector actually wrote about this and mentioned Omega, Young Bucks, and Sammy in addition my three of Punk, Danielson, and Allin so you were pretty spot on.

Jiji Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 (edited) Put them on tv. All of them are better than the bunny, Anna Jay, and Penelope Ford. Lulu included. You don't need to drop the others but put them on TV, man. Edited November 4, 2021 by Jiji 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 I'd rather watch Ford or Bunny than Emi. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 (edited) I feel like Ford has plateaued and not gotten any better since that initial pandemic bump in Daily's Place. I find no joy watching Bunny matches. Emi is clearly not at her peak but she can still go. I like her building an army.

chriskbrown50 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Have to think after these last few days the EVPs at AEW are feeling like their decision to not sign with WWE is an incredible decision. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikoBaltimore Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 I am so out of the loop with Joshi but I think I'm getting ever-so-closer to being part of the Pencil Army. And I haven't even seen her wrestle yet but I heard lots of good things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I ever complain about Anna Jay being on my TV, send help.

Leonidas Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Any Lulu match recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 So Lulu is probably the least athletic wrestler of all time. But that is part of her gimmick. She is a journalist who has become a pro wrestler. She lost every singles match she was in, almost always lost tag matches as the weak link, and barely gets offense. Her story is about determination and pure love of pro wrestling. She gets her ass kicked and always promises to learn and get better/tougher. And she does. She has a whole long ass storyline with Chris Brookes, whom joked around with Lulu, then joined pencil army because it was cute, then got frustrated with losing because of Lulu, and they feuded. Their 30 minute iron person match from earlier this year in chocopro was fucking fantastic. Can't look for it right now but it shouldn't be hard to find. All of chocopro is free, no pay wall. Just again, she is not good in the traditional sense but her love of pro wrestling and will is beautiful to watch. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted November 5, 2021 Author Share Posted November 5, 2021 Dave Meltzer snowflakes for Bryan Danielson's AEW matches in singles: Vs. Eddie Kingston, ****3/4. Vs. Dustin Rhodes, ****1/4. Vs. Bobby Fish, ****. Vs. Minoru Suzuki, ****3/4. Vs. Nick Jackson, ****1/2. Vs. Kenny Omega, *****. --- What a run. That's about 6 Bryan Danielson matches Meltzer has given ****3/4 to. I went ***** for 9 of his matches including vs. Kenny Omega and Minoru Suzuki. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Not gonna lie, I forgot he had even made an appearance in AEW before. They were right when they coined 2020 as a slow motion apocalypse because jesus, I've forgotten a lot of stuff from those early pandemic shows. It was hard to transition from packed arenas to... Austin Gunn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
