Casey Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Sean Ross Sapp said MJF’s camp realizes they can’t ask for more money and not sign an extension, so that doesn’t seem to be the problem. I believe he also said MJF has already been given a bump in pay from his original 2019 amount. Or one of the dirt sheets said that, anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no Adam Cole fan at all, ditto Will Ospreay. Jay White's really good though. Edited June 2, 2022 by The Natural 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyld Samurai Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Cole in the Hart-pink shorts with his long hair makes him look like a pubescent teenage girl practicing her gymnastic routine. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamBroken Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 I'm loving the new Paige VanZant theme, this rules. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krone Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Speaking of themes, last night it hit me just how great Miro's theme is. Those horns going off at the beginning signaling that someone is about to die is just awesome. We all know this, but I'll be damned if theme songs isn't one of AEW's strongest areas. You have a mixed bag of some incredible licensed songs, coupled with nice tweaks of some classics like Sting and FTR, then with the cavalcade of original songs that Mikey Ruckus and company come up with. When I was younger, I loved listening to the wrestling themes, but as an adult now, I feel like I can put a lot of these on and just jam to them cause they're quality. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Goddammit I completely forgot to bring that up. Miro's theme might as well have been written by Basil Poledouris. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go2Sleep Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 After that promo on Dynamite, I feel pretty confident that MJF's contract issues are all worked out, and he has big program or story arc lined up after he takes a little break. On the topic of themes, I've taken a liking to Thunder Rosa's faux-Chicano-metalcore sounding theme. They should commission Upon a Burning Body for a special entrance at a big Texas show. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 I'm a little disappointed Athena's a babyface if only because I really liked her heel performance in Texas vs Thunder Rosa (maybe more than anytime I've seen her over the last five or six years), but I also haven't seen her as a babyface with the WWE chains off, so we'll see how Friday goes.

Craig H Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Women’s tag titles in a company that only runs two women’s matches per week on tv between Dynamite and Rampage seems pretty fucking dumb. Trios titles are long overdue though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyld Samurai Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 WCW didn't really do much with their trios division... I seem to remember Dustin having it at one point, but I couldn't tell you who he teamed with - was it Barry and Pillman? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last title he ended up holding in WCW (or anywhere, I guess)? I forget his partners, but maybe JYD and Dustin? Ricky Morton? Tommy Rich? No, the last two did hold them as heels, I think? Very random, regardless. I liked the idea of it, a lot, but haven't seen much of that material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
