Curt McGirt Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Just came up with a silly little fantasy booking idea to get reps in for the women: Have them feud with the Knockouts on both Impact and the AEW shows. A little interpromotional feuding never hurt anybody and you are gonna get way better matches with the honestly better talent on the other side. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't like they didn't collab with Impact before, and with the NWA for the women as well. Great idea. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also a little confused why the Trustbusters are even trying to win the trios title and not, I don't know, trying to break up Microsoft or something. 1. It’s ok, you’re around .6 in my one and a half. 2. They broke your trust in the AEW rankings. Slim J does it again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But definitely give me more of Willow, Ford, Bunny, along with the rest of everyone currently getting TV time. Actually, get Nyla back on TV too. I'll be honest, I did not have the appreciation for Emi when she first started with AEW due to the whole Freddie gimmick - once I realized how great she was (and caught up on some of her previous work via .gif) and she ditched the mustache, I became a big fan. In my head canon, she's the Champ of Dark. I wish her stable was a more formal/consistent thing on TNT/TBS. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great idea. As an AEW guy, I think it's a great idea for all the reasons you and @Curt McGirtmentioned, but to play devil's advocate for a moment: This is the problem with the Forbidden Door (or at least it was in 2020 at the height of the pandemic): Serena and Rosa are the top NWA stars. They have excellent title matches all over AEW TV. Now, as soon as they were available, they were snatched up. The AEW fans rejoice, while NWA loses arguably the cornerstones of their division (all due respect to Mickie James, Kamille, and uh, the other ones). But to put it bluntly: why the hell would Billy Corgan agree to this again? Or Callis/D'Amore either for that matter, because if I'm TK, I've got Deonna Purazzo and Taya Valkyrie's numbers entered in the contacts already, I'm just waiting to press send. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Taya ain't going anywhere. Jordynne Grace signed a long contract. Rosemary is probably a lifer. That's three, at least, that I don't think would jump. Also I don't think TK wants to absolutely poach his competition Vince-style. They could probably work out something beneficial for both groups. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Wasn’t Rosa signed officially after her NWA contract expired? And you’ve got it backwards about Serena Deeb: she first appeared in AEW after being let go from WWE, was signed the month she debuted, and only appeared on 2 NWA shows - the first of which was almost a year after she won their title (and didn’t even win the NWA World Women’s title on an NWA show, either). 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just thinking the Madison Rayne connection being a good gateway for just general crossover. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of a Lacuna Coil vibe. AEW definitely has a great in-house music team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John E. Dynamite Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 3 hours ago, Dog said: Tony actually bought out her contract. And it happened during COVID when NWA wasn't taping much, and the contract was that of an aggressively A-type Berkley grad who could have pivoted to MMA or got a real-ass job. The pandemic was the right time to collaborate with other US companies, I think now AEW would be better served continuing to work with actual indy-indies. If you've got TV (or are trying to) your talent is just gonna get poached. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianS81177 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Regarding some of the women's division needing reps, I'm really surprised that you don't see some of them working indies. Jade in particular should be working a couple of indie shows a month, and I'm sure it wouldn't be that hard to get her booked. Abadon and Anna Jay would probably benefit too. Unless maybe they just don't want to do indie shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess that NWA/IMPACT get exposure. If you can get eyeballs on your product thats the goal right? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
