Can't remember if it was Ryan Nemeth or someone else that said BTE helped boost morale during the Daily's Place residency. That Dark regulars (himself included) were chomping at the bit to be on the show and it was giving everyone a chance to go off into their own corners of the arena and film their own segments and do some wacky character work.

I guess that's fine, but maybe put it on TV somehow so that it doesn't exist in a vacuum.

Sepholio 09-13-2022 02:56 PM

They don't have the TV time and they couldn't get a dedicated timeslot for BTE on public access if they tried.

Sepholio 09-13-2022 02:59 PM

Make sure to catch next weeks episode of BTE! Every Tuesday at 4:30am EST, only on Duval County Public Access Television, a division of the Florida Public Broadcast Service.

Mr. Nerfect 09-13-2022 05:09 PM

The Bucks have lost their smiles. And they were the ones smiling hardest at their own jokes.

Mr. Nerfect 09-13-2022 05:13 PM

Dave is saying that Tony Khan can extend Omega’s contract because of the injuries. I can imagine that is basically a way of kissing Omega goodbye after he’s let off in November 2023 or whenever it is. But I’m pretty sure he did overplay a lot of those injuries and take the company for a bit of a ride.

Man this company is turning into even more of a mess.

I just LOVE that Tiny is now doing FEDBAD things. Extending people for injuries, making people have non compete clauses, making people go through "yes men" instead of having time for his friends errr I mean employees errr I mean his live toys. Maybe he should just get out of the rasslin business and dedicate him time on his passion for cocaine.

Kenny Omega in Japan rn hanging out with a lot of DDT folks likely sending out "feelers". Maybe DDT would be the best place for Kenny to be Intergender tag team champions and wrestle his new style that Tony Kahn isn't a big time fan of anymore.

Mr. Nerfect 09-14-2022 05:13 AM

Omega going back to DDT is a distinct possibility. I would not be surprised to see Omega and Ibushi split off from their current promotions.

Vastardikai 09-14-2022 05:45 AM

He'd likely be safer in Japan, I would imagine.

Evil Vito 09-14-2022 03:21 PM

Looking forward to Mox throttling Sammy tonight. Jericho/Danielson is more of a toss-up, either of those vs. Mox is a viable Grand Slam main event. Can see the positives and negatives for a title reign for each, especially presuming the winner will be going into a feud with MJF.

Mox

Positives - Might be AEW's Tanahashi...the guy you throw the belt on when the company's going through a tough time. Closest thing to just trying to carry on as if the Punk nonsense never happened.

Negatives - Dude was supposed to be going on like a month-long vacation that he postponed to do the next few Dynamites. While he's a company guy and might have no problem sticking around indefinitely, I suspect his body needs the rest after doing high-intensity matches all summer. Probably not the best for him to be given what would amount to a transitional title run, either.

Jericho

Positives - The most recognizable name left on the roster. Has been doing really good work this year. Loses nothing from having a transitional run. Can play in the whole "I'm the locker room leader" talk whilst MJF continues to shit on AEW and threaten to hold the title as a bargaining chip.

Negatives - The below scenario pretty much requires Jericho to be a face again, which is bleh as his heel work has been a big reason he's been so enjoyable this year. I know you can try to "shades of gray" it or whatever but I can see it being clunky to navigate.

Danielson

Positives - Hasn't won the title yet so it'd give him a nice accolade while also not hurting him if it's a transitional run. Strikes me as someone who doesn't want a lengthy run at this stage of his career anyway. MJF vs. Danielson would be a fresh feud as well vs. the other two options that have been done before.

Negatives - You've just had to vacate the title twice due to Punk getting hurt straight after winning it. Putting the belt on a guy who is a concussion away from being back on the shelf is a risky proposition. If you go this route you just cross your fingers and pray he makes it to Full Gear.

Vastardikai 09-14-2022 03:43 PM

Stu Hart 09-14-2022 03:49 PM

It’s probably my favorite story of the year.

Mr. Nerfect 09-15-2022 03:38 PM

Is it true that they’ve associated MJF with another thrown together faction? That’s not what he needs.

* Big Cass should just be winning squash matches at this point.

* Scorpio Sky & Ethan Page never got a chance as a proper tag team.

* I don’t know anything about Stokely Hathaway. I guess he should be managing someone who needs to get out of things on technicalities. PAC? Whatever. He’s not really necessary.

* I don’t know anything about Lee Moriarty. Is that the other guy in the group? I’m pretty sure he’s smaller. He could be getting hard-earned wins against the Frankie Kazarians and Matt Sydals of the world.

XL 09-15-2022 03:40 PM

If anything they distanced him from them. They were described as being “on retainer”.

Sepholio 09-15-2022 03:44 PM

Yeah I dunno what they are doing with that. Seems really dumb and a surefire way to ruin the hottest angle they have on air atm. But then I'm tired of all the constant factions in general. Let guys do their own thing from time to time.

It's one of those things that for years I thought WWE didn't have enough of and then AEW came along and knee jerked way too hard in the other direction.

See I have the opposite reaction. That isn't distancing. He's telling you he's paying them and they are there to do his dirty work whenever as such.

I can't tell you exactly how long it took but it definitely was less than the amount of time CM Punk spends crying about people being mean to him per hour.

Also, once you've done it a few times it actually becomes weirdly easy, albeit a bit slower than normal typing obviously.

Last and Cornette’s brand is honesty. There are fanboys for The Elite that aren’t going to like what comes out of them, but I don’t see them being blatantly dishonest just because Omega isn’t Cornette’s flavor.

Such an odd and confrontation way to attempt to motivate talent. A staff meeting is not the time to be joking and working angles, so even if that was what he was doing (and I don’t believe it), then that’s entirely inappropriate too.

Hard to know for sure. Supposedly Steel doesn’t speak with Cabana anymore either despite being Steel’s 2nd most successful trainee.

Cliff Compton was arguably the person who gained the most from his appearances on Colt’s podcasts and even testified in their lawsuit with Amann. He is close enough with Punk to get invited to Punk’s AEW debut and supposedly he doesn’t speak with Colt anymore either.

I’d imagine those are two of only a select few who know the real story and they’ve both “picked” Punk whatever that might mean.

Could be because Punk’s more successful but it seems like Colt might be a shady ass, carny mahfuck who screws his friends over for a buck.

Evil Vito 09-16-2022 05:59 PM

Entirely possible. It’s also possible he’s just a big dumb fuck who assumed that Punk footing the bill to move proceedings along meant he wasn’t gonna have to pay at all despite them being a joint party on the suit.

Without knowing all of the details it feels like even the most basic of communication skills could’ve avoided a lot of this nonsense.

Brian Last has been hinting (without subtlety) that there is way more shit to come up on Kenny Omega’s backstage antics. He seems to be in the loop. He seems to think Ace Steel and Omega are going to be the casualties of this investigation. It’s interesting, because I would have thought The Bucks, specifically Matt, would have been the first heads on the chopping block from The Elite side.

A lot of it is based on Emi Sakura, who he brought in as a "Coach" for the Women's Division. Mainly how she trained a LOT of female wrestlers, many of them very young (Riho was 8, another of her students was the girl that Omega wrestled in that infamous match that Cornette bitches about). She had 3 schools (ICE Ribbon, Gatoh MOVE, and Choco Pro), and none of the schools had rings. Also, Gatoh MOVE was based out of Thailand, which she went to after some issues in ICE Ribbon with students.

And part of the reason why Omega liked Japan so much was because they report assaults over there even less than it gets reported in the US. And he hangs out with a bunch of abusers because he himself is one.

Mr. Nerfect 09-16-2022 11:12 PM

Look, I also hope it’s not true, but it does disturb me seeing adults perform physical stunts with kids. The wrestling speaking out thing shone some light on the British scene — I don’t know why Japanese promotions that are basically fronts for softcore porn shoots and training children for “entertainment” should get a pass. It gives me the heebies. If it turns out Omega has benefit from that industry…look, can anyone play dumb and say “Who could have seen that coming?!?” Was it really a big surprise when the guy who used his position of power in wrestling to get people to touch his penis turned out to be a creep? I’m talking about Joey Ryan, but that could be Vince.

I think if it were that, Last would be more direct in calling him out, but he did say that Omega might be staying in Japan if it all comes out about him.

Lol, what was your head canon about Britt? I probably read it and just forgot. Was it that she was a peep?

Sting Fan 09-16-2022 11:52 PM

From a pure entertainment standpoint if I have to choose between Kenny/The Bucks and Punk it’s not even close I chose Kenny and the Bucks.

Play punks music from time to time then let MJF cut a promo and we’re miles ahead with the value he’s added so far.

I was pretty hyped for his return but most of its kinda been very underwhelming.

Oh yeah, I do remember that. Hey, Punk called Adam Cole a “sweetheart” at that scrum for a reason.

Ol Dirty Dastard 09-17-2022 08:40 AM

Does that make Adam Cole this era’s Chris Candido?

Triple H experimenting with real music, played "White Rabbit" during a commercial break. Now Tony is up against the ropes!

The way that turned red at the end made me think Bray was about to walk out. Seems like an appropriate set up.

Mr. Nerfect 09-17-2022 03:05 PM

Holy shit, are they really doing that? I saw the idea and I was thinking it just came from a fan.

Mr. Nerfect 09-17-2022 03:06 PM

Licensed music is potentially a great tool. It’s expensive, but the WWE has got the resources. But hey, just during commercial breaks works too. Triple H seems more mindful of the show as a live experience.

Mr. Nerfect 09-17-2022 06:54 PM

The last time FTR wrestled a straight-up tag team match in AEW was at Forbidden Door. Their last one on Dynamite was against Roppongi Vice in May. Before that it was The Bucks match in April.

Mr. Nerfect 09-17-2022 09:33 PM

Samuel Guevara has been weird on Twitter. He might just be looking for attention, but he has posted a few things about things ending and going to new places, etc. He’s also posted pics of people taking bows and has an email for booking requests for him and Tay.

Mr. Nerfect 09-17-2022 09:51 PM

I slept on the idea of ROH being the place for The Elite when it comes out they are all tossers. Maybe it’s just because I don’t see them going along with it, or TK taking the Elite out of All Elite Wrestling if it’s possible not to. But let’s say that CM Punk and Ace Steel have the bigger legal dick because Ace Steel’s wife felt intimidated, etc. Punk doesn’t want them to fuck off completely, he just wants more power and control in AEW and them to have none. They weigh up leaving but decide that it would be better to stay associated and get ROH.

Final Battle:

* Claudio Castagnoli vs. Kenny Omega
* FTR vs. The Young Bucks

The Bucks win the tag belts because FTR go to AEW full-time as the star team there. It’s the little bargaining chip to make it seem like they aren’t getting buried — they get to win that series. The Briscoes then confront them, and since Jeff Hardy is on his way back, that’s where you put him and Matt.

Omega can either win the ROH Title or Will Ospreay can cost him that match to put more build behind Omega and Ospreay for the IWGP US Title at Wrestle Kingdom.

ROH also has Colt Cabana. Adam Page can go over and you can run Page vs. Omega II over there eventually.

Jordan 09-19-2022 12:16 AM

That would be really cool.

Mr. Nerfect 09-19-2022 05:44 AM

I want to see Claudio vs. Shingo at WK. Make that for the ROH Title. Shingo can win the belt and spend some time in ROH. He can have the gimmick of trying to go through the ROH Hall of Famers (Danielson, Punk, Joe). He can eventually drop the belt to Omega who would be the centerpiece there. Omega can then defend the belt against Okada at a crossover show before eventually dropping it to Page.

Golden Ticket Battle Royal featuring Lance Archer, Penta Oscuro, Jay Lethal, Adam Page, The Dark Order, Rush, and more

---

Cramming 8 matches onto a 2-hour Rampage, but at least 3 of those figure to be quick squashes. Between that and the battle royal it feels like they're really just trying to get everyone a match on their big stadium show, kinda like how the Andre Battle Royal was mostly just added to get everyone a Mania payday.

That said whilst I love a good battle royal, having it be for a title shot is clunky as hell. Yeah it's an easy way to set the new champion up for their first challenger so they can get some defenses in before MJF takes the belt, but it only further highlights how pointless rankings are. They may as well just mercy kill them in the new year.

In any event this will be a long night attending live but there should be some real belters on there. Excited to go.

Mr. Nerfect 09-19-2022 04:25 PM

Bryan Alvarez let it slip on one of the Observer shows that there was a previous internal investigation in AEW that went several months. He didn’t say what it was about, but that could support what Brian Last has said about there being lots of issues involving The Bucks and Omega in the past (provided it was them getting investigated).

Sepholio 09-19-2022 07:37 PM

Kenny Omega has been booted from the main event of AAA Triplemania XXX next month because his AEW suspension won't let him compete elsewhere either, apparently.

Ol Dirty Dastard 09-19-2022 09:19 PM

I was listening to Last earlier, and he further implied that Kenny was in some DEEP shit.

Ol Dirty Dastard 09-19-2022 09:19 PM

tbh--it sounds like the Bucks are in the clear, though.

Mr. Nerfect 09-19-2022 09:25 PM

Uh oh.

Ol Dirty Dastard 09-19-2022 09:33 PM

I think this whole deal will work against the Bucks and how they're featured, though. I don't think Tony will be appreciative that they let the situation with Punk get out of control, given how much he is/was paying the guy.
