We were vaguely fantasy booking Muta in AEW and then THAT happened. I don’t know a lot about Muta/Mutoh outside of his US work but having Sting be involved in his retirement match seems natural. And now I’m thinking who would be involved in Sting’s. So many of his best rivals are dead or in no shape to be in the ring. 2
Doragon Posted September 24, 2022 Posted September 24, 2022 To clear it up, several retirement road matches booked for Muto and Muta. Then he retires in the Tokyo Dome as Muto next year. 1

Casey Posted September 24, 2022 Posted September 24, 2022 11 hours ago, John from Cincinnati said: Apparently they reached out to Swerve. Much has been said of what he thought of his time in NXT, so we can make some assumptions there. It's been said by the sheets that along with Adam Cole, Swerve was one of the people that alerted AEW/TK to what WWE was doing. And yeah if you listen to Swerve on Renee's podcast... he's pretty bitter about his time in NXT/the main roster. Maybe bitter isn't the right word, but he didn't enjoy his time there besides meeting his girlfriend - Jessi Kamea. 3
dorfus malorfus Posted September 24, 2022 Posted September 24, 2022 Moxley vs Juice Robinson for Wednesday. Is it generally acknowledged around these parts that Juice is a boring and fairly crappy wrestler and an all-time sticking-pencils-in-my-ears-to-deafen-myself horrible promo? or is he "divisive" like Ospreay?
Jiji Posted September 24, 2022 Posted September 24, 2022 I love Juice Robinson but haven't seen hardly any of his Disciple heel run. For a board that loves good promos and selling I do not understand the above. At all. 1
dorfus malorfus Posted September 24, 2022 Posted September 24, 2022 He had a lot of promise during that initial NJ run where he got the huge upset over Omega but since becoming more established (I'd say starting with his run as a team with Finlay) he's become so paint by numbers in the ring and his persona grown goofier and more irritating with each incarnation. Granted I've watched him a lot less regularly in the past few years but I did catch a bunch of his G1 matches this year and thought it was the most bland "athletic guy with innovative moveset" stuff I'd seen since Cole was still active. 1
SturmCRF Posted September 24, 2022 Posted September 24, 2022 I enjoy him as a heel, but I never got what people were on about when they talked about him as a great pure babyface. He always came across as a sleazy hippy who needed a punch and had an annoying voice, which is at least perfect for mid level Bullet Club goon.

SturmCRF Posted September 24, 2022 Posted September 24, 2022 I'm probably quite naive when it comes to this sort of thing, as I'm quick to assume people are on steroids, but just as quick to take them at their word when they're honest enough to admit that steroids exist, but insist that they don't personally use them.

matt925 Posted September 25, 2022 Posted September 25, 2022 Dave keeps bringing up the rumored Northern California shows because he lives here and it’s been a weirdly long time, but I just don’t get any talk of the venues being discussed by anyone. First even though I thought running two shows in LA was a bad idea and I was proven wrong, I still think running three shows in the Bay Area is a bad idea and they should just run a totally different city for dynamite/rampage taping, and then have the ppv at Oakland arena and sell that out. There should be zero talk about cow palace. It’s an 82 year old building that was never remodeled. Wwe hasn’t even run a house show there since 2005. Dave keeps saying they left because of low attendance - they left because it was already a run down building back then. Cow palace shouldn’t even be in aew’s vocabulary. Dave talks about how poorly wwe did at chase center, and the numbers were crazy low, but that was when wwe was ice cold right before the pandemic and they were low everywhere. An aew ppv would do way better than those low wwe numbers, but it would be a super expensive building. Garret in particular kept pushing the sjsu event center which is also super bizarre to me. They did 5k jam packed for the historic nxt house show before the wrestlemania at Levi’s stadium. That was a house show with no stage. With even the minimal aew stage your looking at like 4K for the very first show in the #5 market. And it looks exactly like a very large high school gym. It’s awesome in person, I’ve been to three nxt house shows there, but it looks just like a high school gym. Super shocked by the lack of talk about Oakland arena, the former home of the warriors and host to multiple nba finals in recent years. Dave mentioned in passing twice that wwe hasn’t done well in Oakland. They just did a house show that only did 3k. Well they’ve been cold until recently and this is aew’s first appearance in the #5 market, comparing to a wwe house show literally means nothing. It is now the B arena in the Bay Area, all the top acts go to chase in San Francisco. So it must be relatively cheap to book. And it is an nba finals quality arena. Do the tv somewhere else and come here for a ppv at Oakland arena. I wish I could help them book these shows.

I’m from the bay so for me “LA” is SoCal. I make the drive for work sometimes to la or Palm Springs so I’m familiar with it all. I posted here how I thought they were tripping running two shows when they should just focus on one tent pole. They proved me wrong but things are a little different now and I also propose they just do one tent pole. Do the normal dynamite/rampage taping in San Diego or Phoenix and come on up to Oakland for the ppv. 1
