Priscilla has a pretty dark past with Darby Allin, right? I could see that being an issue, but if it isn't I wholeheartedly agree.
2 hours ago, just drew said:Ah, gotcha. I can't always keep this stuff straight. One of the news aggregators implied that Elayna might've no-showed an AEW Dark booking around the time WWE signed her. If true, that could be an issue, but TK seems less petty than some other CEO types...
Speaking of prospective woman wrestlers maybe not getting an AEW shot because of old beef with guys on the show...how much of a grudge is Jericho holding with Shotzi? He was pretty butthurt when she sent that Tweet making fun of his Blood and Guts fall onto cardboard.

It feels like such a risk to keep him around with little reward.
44 minutes ago, Craig H said:All of this on the heels of Cora Jade revealing she was body shamed in WWE by her bosses and co-workers. I honestly couldn’t see HHH or HBK doing that now, but I could see some dumb fuck like Road Dogg or PS Hayes doing that.
Everything from a week prior to WM to now has been nearly a dumpster fire. Like, Vince’s business failings stemmed from his insanity and just being out of touch to an unbelievable degree. This is all just typical corporate bullshit and cutting your nose off to spite your face. Someone, anyone there needs to grow a fucking brain to stop the train before it wrecks.
There's no risk here and they don't see it as a trainwreck. This is just how TKO is. They are proudly shameless when it comes to associating with awful people. They'll trot out all manner of garbage and dare you to stop watching.

Didn't they also sign La Heidra, who Vaquer has a restraining order against, as well as maybe some other people who are pals with the guy who tried to kill her?
Another week, another "this fucking company" post.

Jack Dorsey fired a 1,000 people in an email in all lowercase. Google Image Search Jack Dorsey and imagine how it would feel to get your walking papers from that man. And that's one of the nicer mass layoffs that have happened over the last several months.
It's crazy how vilified someone like say a Ted Turner was given decades later that we literally have actual Lex Luthors running amok. Not just one, but like several.
It’s just insane to me how we believed pro wrestling was just the scummiest business to ever exist, then they’re bought out by a “respectable corporate entity” and it’s so much worse.
I can’t help but think of the time I think it was Nike who turned down Kanye’s designs like, “we don’t need your dumb shit well just use your name, fuck you” and he was powerless. Like, this is when “rich” clashes with “wealthy.” Like your small pond doesn’t mean shit. Mainstream corporate America has it so much bigger and does it so much worse than you.

apparently Marvel contacted Jeremy Renner about Hawkeye S2, but lowballed him on salary (half of what he originally made for S1 according to him), so he won't be coming back for that. I doubt they do a S2 if that's the case, unless it's a show focused primarily on Kate Bishop or it morphs into the Champions show.
Related but unrelated, anybody watch Mayor of Kingstown (starring Renner)? Really good.

It’s “budget cuts” in the sense of it’s almost time for the earnings report, so it’s time to cut deeper to really make the numbers look good for the shareholders. Please note I vomited a tiny bit while writing that.
Crazy how scummy old pro rasslin has nothing on corporate America when it comes to awfulness. Running “like a real business, controlled by a ‘real businessman’” works as well for wrestlers and fans as it has for America.

Tribalism in the WWE side, maybe? They just want to chant “Tony fumbled” while Pillman Jr. works Ethan Page like those two are ever going to set the world on fire. Same crowd that loves the Luchs Bros now after years of calling them flippy bullshit wrestlers.

Watch any John Cena matches lately? Move, move, move.... finisher, kickout. finisher. Kickout. Wait for interference.
Maybe the problem isn’t modern wrestlers not showing struggle enough. Maybe the problem is WWE style.

Very few wrestlers these day incorporate the struggle and storytelling into their matches, eh? How interesting.
Name 5 currently active wrestlers who don't do that. Give examples of how they don't do that, and where they should.
This could be very enlightening.

He had Dave speechless on WOR after the Hangman match.
Dave and Bryan arguing over how much offense Hangman actually got killed more brain cells than day drinking.
I actually enjoyed the fact that Hangman got more of the match and won. It shows AEW is willing to play with their normal formula (guy who gets more offense loses) to throw fans off and make things interesting. Also, it got Hangman over stronger for the final.

Do you think she somehow texts in that same weirdly unnatural WWE Superstar cadence?
NINERS! Fan. Innnnnn... CONNECTICUT!!!! Thank. YOU! For joining. The. MERCEDES!!!!! MONE!!! Definitely not AI. Text! Friend! Grrrrrooouuup.
Probably not, right. That would be exhausting.
Great impression but not nearly enough “uh”s after every other word. Like “Ninersuhhhh.”
@Niners Fan in CT my friend, please chill a bit. The joke was you’re the biggest Mercedes fan here, that’s all. No idea where implied misogyny came from.
PS I think Mercedes is killing it in AEW after a rough start. She’s awesome.

I feel like I want to do Dean. DBD and Collision and drive there each time. I wonder at what point I start losing my mind in the process.
Last time I drove back to MD from Philly for work (my company’s HQ is there) there was a massive storm and an accident on 95, adding THREE HOURS to the trip. Only taking the train from now on.

Loool I had no idea Cora Jade was Elayna Black. I remember she was pretty decent.
No sympathy for Strowmann, fuck that guy. Start a Gofundme, you buffoon.

I feel we're building towards Hangman defeating Mox, with Swerve coming to Page's aid to combat Death Riders to end the beef between himself and Hanger.
This would be worlds better than putting it on Ospreay. There's no story there. Hangman is an original and is the heart of AEW.

Great Muta, NWA in 1989, was my ground-zero for cheering for a heel. I was 11 years old. The mist, the face paint, and the moonsault. How could I NOT think "this dude is fucking awesome, I dont care that he's a 'bad guy'?"
44 minutes ago, supremebve said:Yeah, I was completely incapable for rooting against anyone with face paint. If you add a cool top rope move to the face paint, I was all the way in on Muta. The only problem is I grew up without cable, so I rarely saw WCW let alone Muta.
I was like 14 or 15 at the time and yeah, Muta was the shit. Why WCW elected to go with a stupid ass round robin tournament for Starrcade when a title match between Flair vs undefeated Muta was right there I have no clue.

Not unexpected nor mad at it...Rockstar doing Rockstar things. GTA 4 slipped by a year, GTA5 by a few months, RDR2 about a year and a half. I wouldn't be surprised if "May 2026" became "October 2026."

Can anything be done about this issue? I can't remember when it started, but every time I paste a link into a post, the post disappears and the screen automatically scrolls to the top of the thread.

The opening match was basically the match they'd have on the last night of BOLA featuring all the people who lost in the first round.
Minus either a remote control slo mo spot or thumb in the butt train.
I miss PWG but I don't know if it'll ever be back, nor if there's really a place for it anymore. I mean I have a place for it and would pay for every show, but how many lunatics like me are out there? PWG revived my love for wrestling in 2010 when, after 25 years, it hit me that I wasn't really digging it anymore. I found PWG at that time and was blown away, and it only got better from there. I'll always have time for PWG.

Excalibur yelling "YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO TO RESEDA FOR A MATCH LIKE THIS" in the opener really got me, man.

Picking up a crumb from last month's thread:
Who was the first heel you rooted for, and what age group were you?
Personally, and i just referenced this the other day, when Hogan and Savage feuded leading into Mania 5, i sided with Savage. I would have been 6-7. I think that speaks more to my absolute adoration of Savage moreso than my taste in characters, but it's easily the first instance of me going "against the narrative". I loved the Ultimate Warrior and the Legion of Doom and was back to cheering Hogan against the evil traitor Sgt. Slaughter a couple years later. I also always liked the Repo Man and the Mountie for some reason, likely the comedy. But other than those isolated incidents, i was fully aboard the babyface train until the nWo came about and rocked my world.
I'll say it was Piper and I was probably 11. I started watching in the run-up to Mania 1, but somewhere between that and maybe the run up to Mania 2, I got tired of Hogan's shtick and got into the heels. I blame Eddie Ellner, maybe. On the Crockett side, it was the Horsemen and Midnight Express.

I believe it goes through his final Pride fight where he knocked himself silly and then got TKO'd. So it goes through his downfall. I don't think it gets into what his post-Pride career was like.
Thanks! I was only asking half seriously because I can't pass up an opportunity to point out what an insane narcissist Dwayne is.

Double or Nothing VII - 5/25/2025
in ALL ELITE WRESTLING
Posted · Edited by Technico Support
Yeah, Ospreay riding in to vanquish the Death Riders makes no sense. He has had no ties to this storyline; he's been mostly in a program with Callis' group. He also has far lesser ties to AEW than Hangman does. Hangman's story of failure, then success, then failure again, then losing his soul, then getting it all back, should end with him winning the belt to defend AEW against the Death Riders. That's a hero's journey. Not "hot act best wrestler in the world that we recently hired from someplace else strolls in for the win."
I said it before, but this is like Tony Stark being the one to end Phase One and defeat Thanos. Ospreay winning is like someone who wasn't in a single Marvel movie, like Beta Ray Bill, Captain Britain, Alpha Flight, or whoever showing up in the final reel of Endgame and saving the day.
