Too bad Bushiroad spent all their scratch on Sasha ;( I will only take it if he came out with the same colored wig/highlights and slayed the Tokyo Dome like a bad bitch would.

TheVileOne Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 How has no one made a TV show about this? This is literally your goldmine right here. More awards and ratings than Succession. GLOW about a small little promotion that barely made it out of the 80s got a hit, acclaimed show, surely the WWE backroom drama politics show would blow it out of the water.

His comments about that whole thing were weird, but he denied he took anything and doesn't know why he pissed hot.

The Billions writers are all wrestling fans and constantly work pro wrestling references into the scripts. That show's getting stale anyway, might as well make the lead character a billionaire wrestling promoter. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rehiring Barrios and Wilson is akin to how the WWF did a 6 or 7 month Invasion storyline with Vince playing the babyface to save the company from these invaders only for him to 2 1/2 months later bring in the NWO to destroy it. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even on the chance there is something like that, AEW isn't hiring all those people. They didn't do the last few rounds of cuts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is that WWE selling to Disney or whoever and trimming the roster means leverage for free agents goes bye-bye. Sasha might be Tessa-ing herself out of the business (at least in America) - Vince would never let her back after walking out. Now I could see Tony Khan making a pitch to Warner Bros. Discovery for the Khans and Warner to partner in buying WWE - Tony gets partial ownership and runs the company, Warner gets the prestigious WWE brand and library.

Well, thing is much like I've said about MMA free agency in the MMA forum over the last several years, I doubt they had leverage to begin with. Much like people made a big deal about Bellator being a free agency destination a few years ago, just like AEW, after awhile it was only the best and the brightest. AEW ain't signing Nia Jax, and I doubt they had any interest to begin with. Tessa's thing is something entirely different. Plus, I don't think Tessa is that enamored with the wrestling business especially being still fairly young. Plus, you don't know Vince will do. Shit, Vince said Warrior wouldn't be back. Guess what? Came back and they let that motherfucker try to coerce them into selling his comic book. Then after getting kicked out again got put into the HOF despite being homophobic and sexist. As long as she remains viable, Mercedes will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
