Matt D Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 My gut says that Stu could have a singles run on the indies like Bailey or Biff are having right now. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 (edited) Is Kip Sabian still on the roster page? Seems like he would’ve been in this group of spring 2019 signings who are rolling off their initial deals this week, unless he signed a longer contract. Obviously he’s still showing up to the arenas, but they have never once put over his box head gimmick in the crowd, so I don’t think that’s actually going anywhere. Penelope also appears to be in the “staying home until her contract expires” camp, as she hasn’t worked a show since January.

I meant to comment on last week's Dynamite thread that it seemed like they were showing him more prominently last week. Might be coincidence, but he seemed to show up in more shots than usual. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 I always thought the best use of Kip was as a heater for Penelope, but if it looks like Penelope is also out the door, then that's a bummer. I thought she improved a ton and was really digging her stuff in the ring. It's also possible she's been rotated out because they focused on her tag partnership with Allie against, um, Tay and Anna??? for what felt like a long time. Once they all had their hardcore match to blow off the feud, it was probably safe to put at least half the people involved on the shelf to give them a break. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakk_Sabbath Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 I can at least understand the argument for cutting Stu (or even Kip, who really hasn't done much on TV since Rusev broke his arm) but Penelope should absolutely be re-signed. She's one of the most competent, least green women they have right now and with two women's divisions to support, I think it would be short sighted to lose her. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 (edited) On cagematch, Ford's only had two matches in general this year and none since 1/15, so no indy matches either (as opposed to someone like Stu who has worked a handful in the last six months). Is she injured maybe? She's still retweeting AEW on-sale dates and tv episode promos as of two days ago, so...

But unless they have a really hot angle idea for him to come back, a Kip Sabian reveal will be, as Schiavone says, a popcorn fart. Sabian is absolutely another guy I have in mind when I'm talking about replacement-level low mid carders. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing all this will be sorted out once ROH's direction is figured out. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 They can’t fire Kip because they need him to be their hometown babyface on the eventual UK tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinit Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 I guess that makes it official. Really sucks...Stu was a favorite of mine. Such a fire hot tag. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny enough (and this is on me for not being clearer) I was referring to the TBS title not the ROH title, so that kind of strengthens my point a bit - make that *three* ladies divisions to round out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That role could easily be filled by Regal and the BCC or maybe Danhausen, who I assume is speaking with a Welsh accent 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Worth noting: Other than "Guy with a bag on" I have literally no idea who or what a Kip Sabian is. I've never seen any segment with him in it or an indy match with him or whatever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stefanie Without Stefanie Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 7 hours ago, EVA said: The one thing I’d be really disappointed in, if Stu really is gone, is that they didn’t shoot an angle to write him off. Just having someone disappear is some WWE shit. Isn't that just pro wrestling in general? Unless you're a main eventer, folks used to vanish without a trace from practically every promotion. The only explanation 2 Cold Scorpio's disappearance from WCW ever got was that he missed a flight for a match, then a few weeks later, Marcus Alexander Bagwell's teaming with the Patriot, and little kid me was like "dang, did 2 Cold end up in the Bermuda Triangle?"
