Infinit Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Rewatching the show: Looked like Hangman got his bell rung pretty nasty by Dante's leg on the bump from the Buckshot. Love Dark Order as the lovable band of misfits...but does the perceived lack of love for Hangman push them to a charismatic leader like.....Windham Rotunda? When Tully brings in the Briscoes to take out FTR, he needs to bring up Dax's "punk kid" like he talked about Ole's. Totally a little nod that AEW would do. Is the Workhorsemen teaming the first time a contracted talent has teamed with a non contracted talent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinit Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 I was totally under the assumption that the Wingmen were all given contracts...but I def could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if this stance will also keep the Briscoes out of the new AEW owned ROH? Did Jay ever walk back or apologize for those tweets? Edit: if AEW had the Briscoes on their persona non grata list, it really makes them letting FTR go to Final Battle to confront them a puzzling decision.

Jiji Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 3 hours ago, Infinit said: Did Jay ever walk back or apologize for those tweets? Yeah he apologized the next week on ROH TV according to that fightful post on patreon. Here's the whole post: Quote Don't expect to see the Briscoes in AEW, at least if word at WarnerMedia and among AEW talent is true. Fightful has been told that as of prior to the ROH sale, The Briscoes weren't planned to be signed by All Elite Wrestling. It should be stated that we're not even sure of the interest on All Elite Wrestling's part, but if was confirmed to us by WarnerMedia sources that a person of influence in the company did not want the duo signed to AEW, specifically due to Jay Briscoe's homophobic tweets from 2013. Briscoe would apologize at the start of an ROH show the week after. Those that we heard from in ROH since have said that to their credit, they hadn't caused issues for the company since then. One AEW talent said they were made for television, but can't blame WarnerMedia or AEW. Fightful was told that as of a month ago, there are no imminent plans for FTR and The Briscoes to have a match in ROH, AEW or anywhere else for that matter, although that was before Tony Khan purchased ROH, which could have changed things. Both Briscoes and FTR are open to the idea of facing each other, and multiple promoters have indicated to Fightful that they've wanted to book the match and were willing to pay significant money by indie standards to make it happen. We aren't sure if The Briscoes will be a part of the new Ring of Honor, which is owned by AEW. They're the current ROH World Tag Team Champions, and were scheduled to wrestle on Supercard of Honor before Tony Khan's purchase. We don't have an update on where that stands now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryArchieGus Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Sad news. It was obviously a shitty thing to 'tweet'. But he apologized. And it felt very sincere. Not surprised a corporation would be apprehensive to their signing, but very frustrating that there are ppl so righteous that they are unable to forgive and move on.

Technico Support Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 I know people grow, change, mellow, and all that, but the dude literally tweeted anti-gay slurs and threatened to shoot anyone who taught his kids that gay marriage is okay. Change that to "anti-black slurs" and "interracial marriage" and nobody would bat an eye at the prospect of Jay never working again, much less being passed by one company. He's getting off light and I say this as somebody who is pretty far left, politically, but also leery of taking away people's whole careers because of stuff like this. You buy the ticket, you take the ride. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You buy the ticket, you take the ride. Yes, people can grow. There aren't any buts about it. Jay Briscoe is an incredible talent who has long paid the price for his stupidity. If there was no remorse I wouldn't suggest he's ready for forgiveness, but there was remose. And it felt pretty sincere. And we're nearly 10 fucking years on. There's a lot of room to grow in a decade. Forgiveness, empathy, compassion are not fashionable traits in the modern age, but as the world grows more and more divisive, and everybody is exposed for their poor decisions, things may just come back around.

NoFistsJustFlips Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 I'm not real strong on my position on this one. I see both sides of it. Forgiveness is definitely a thing we all need more of. On the other hand, I'm not so sure someone so strong in their beliefs that they say they will shoot people that teach their kids gay marriage exists is ever going to actually learn or grow. How does anyone know if he's remorseful or his stance has changed at all? Don't mistake silence with regret. He may not regret what he said at all. He just hasn't spoke about it in 10 years. Jay Briscoe is talented as hell. It's a shame he lost opportunities. But there are hundreds of talented guys that never even got to be in Jay's position in the first place. I wouldn't be offended if they gave him a second shot. But I also wont lose any sleep if they choose not to roll the dice on him either. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
