I think a lot of people are just expecting Cody to win the Rumble, talk about how he’s the savior of black people and win the WWE Title and that’s that. I was underwhelmed by the idea of Cody even being in WWE. But you’re probably going to get a story that involves some good promos, some strong angles and the best ideas of Heyman, Triple H, Cody and Roman.
It wouldn’t surprise me if Seth gets involved, maybe edges out Sami as the Honorary Uce. It may not seem that epic, but Seth vs. Sami could be a Mania match. The Roman/Cody story could filter through to all these other programs. It’s not going to just be “I have won the Royal Rumble. I am getting a title shot. I am the good guy. I will beat you. Grrr.” |
I know its ingrained and cant be undone but the rumble winner maining mania is booking anathema
|
Look at all these racists who don't want cody to beat reigns and free black people from oppression.
|
I dont know how you got there but i like what youre selling
|
I hope everyone remembered to leave out Milk and Cookies for Thunder Rosa, as it is El Dia De Los Muertos.

Who do you think will be signed by AEW this week? I feel like it’s been slow on the signings.

I dunno why it formatted weird..... Anyway - the last bit there is key. This is how I currently see CAWdy. He's shallow, and just kinda there. Sami at least makes more sense (right now) and shows a lot more depth. Need to see more of CAWdy on screen in WWE. Gotta wash off that Dashing stank. |
hahahha!
CAWdy gets beat so senseless at Mania, he forgets who he is, goes back to being Dashing Cody Rhodes and becomes the 3rd member of Maximum Male Models. Book it. |
If that gets us more Dashing vignettes, I'm in

Nick Hausman appeared on Meltzer’s show. Was interesting to hear them basically swap stories about not knowing what is going on. Meltzer kind of walked back his story about Punk being “voted off the island.” Hausman implied he was curious as to who it was and Meltzer admitted that Punk has friends there and Alvarez interjected and said that what he thinks Dave meant is that if you asked some people they wouldn’t expect Punk to be back — which is an entirely different thing all together.
|
Serious question, if Tiny booked Colt Cabana for Dynamite tomorrow, would the fans cheer him or boo him? How pissed would Phil be if Colt got a standing ovation?

At this point, I’m biased against him — I recommend listening to the interview yourself. It’s 23 minutes or something on YouTube. But that’s what I got from it lol. Dave didn’t really fight on the point that there are people who like Punk in AEW at all.
|
His reporting this whole time has been so lopsided. He should be ashamed. I'm not saying Jim Cornette's conspiracy theories are any better, but JFC at least he's not pretending to be objective.
|
Dave gets way too close “if you don’t agree with me, you’re arguing with facts.” I’ve hated his coverage of AEW. I don’t even think it benefits AEW. It would have benefitted them to hear more honesty in the beginning from someone other than Cornette.
|
It's crazy how Dave has made a career covering professional wrestling while rarely actually knowing anything.
|
I used to defend him. I’m sure he used to get stories. But his coverage now…it’s just so wrong. Has it always been that way?
|
I've always listened to Dave and Bryan's work as opinion.
|
I used to pay F4Online for a subscription, I enjoyed their daily podcasts/radio shows for years. I can't really say exactly when I stopped subscribing to their service, but it's been probably 3-4 years at least.
It's really quite clear that their whole existence in this era is fairly unnecessary. There is no curtain for pro wrestling, the owners do shoot interviews constantly and the talent do the same all day long on twitter. It's really rare to actually get into a pro wrestling angle because we are all so drastically aware of how the strings are pulled. The insider journalists had a place when there was mystery but there is really no mystery in the business any more. |
Dirtsheet reporters have always been kinda trash though, the whole lot of em. Their job is basically to spoil scripted shows and people paid them for that.
Think about how mad people get about spoilers for movies or shows or books or games or anything else. Now imagine paying people for that info. Like wtf? It's never made sense to me. It's like riding through the parking lot of walmart at midnight screeching "SNAPE KILLS DUMBLEDORE ON PAGE 728!!! THAT'LL BE $4.99!" |
JBL has stated numerous times going all the way back to his Justin Hawk Bradshaw days that the boys would purposefully feed Dave bullshit because they thought it was funny to make him look bad. That is going back to at least 1995.
I do not have any real recollection of him ever breaking any real stories until he got in with The Elite, so of course he is going to be loyal to them to a degree. Prior to 1995 before there was internet boards, I guess maybe Dave got away with taking educated guesses and an actual mailed out newsletter have him more time before he was proved wrong. He could sell the "Plans Changed" bullshit a bit better, but I can't imagine he has ever been anything but a weird mark conning people out of money under the guise that he is a legitimate reporter. Spoiler, he is not. |

I guess social media has changed things drastically too. Back in the day, wrestlers would have used Dave to actually get their opinion out at all. Now, wrestlers have direct platforms to the fans. You would have gotten Dave eating a lot of bullshit and it’s not like the guy with Vince’s ear was going to be talking — there’s always that hearsay element to the gossip he was reporting — but now a wrestler can just go on Twitter and say “I am misused.” They don’t need that middle-man.

Bryan Alvarez has said something big is happening on Dynamite tonight. He doesn’t know what it is, but it’s going to be big. :lol:
|
It'll prob be the debut of one of the people NXT just cut lol
|
Gonna laugh if it's The Elite showing up.
|
Mercedes Vernado debut. Here to remind Saraya she broke her neck.
|
While shilling CBD.
|
Heard Dynamite sucked tonight.
|
It was messy
|
Double J has been given an official title in AEW: Director of Business Development.
|
lol.

It was Jeff Jarrett *and* Colt Cabana, guys. *And* Colt Cabana.

Quote:
Big announcement, massive signings, change the business etc… only to under deliver every single time. Sometimes so daramtically that you wonder if it’s a joke… Jeff Jarrett was great…20 years ago. He is now 55 years old and is an exec. Why would I care about this? The whole Colt Cabana thing is them going out of their way to be petty. I watch some shows at times and (although I hate the no selling, breakneck style), I find myself enjoying different aspects of it. But it feels like they are shooting themselves in the foot on a weekly basis now. It’s embarrassing and the likes of Jericho, Moxley and The Elite as locker room leaders just seem to make Khan’s ego and lack of understanding even worse. It’s a real mess, I hope Jarrett is ready for some work…and to be despised and quickly thrown out if he tries to correct the boys. |
Why did Jeff Jarrett debut last night and not in two weeks on the post-Full Gear episode of Dynamite
|
Why did Jeff Jarrett debut at all?
Nah, I like Jeff, but come on — this is ridiculous. |

I desperately want wrestling to be good. I started this thread so positively. The last thing we need is more bad wrestling though. Well, I don’t even know if WWE counts as bad anymore. There are obviously still things that need to change, but I don’t know how anyone can compare the products and decide that AEW ticks more boxes right now. So it’s now got to contend with basically being TNA — it’s something else but it’s not better than the main thing. What are they trying to deliver? The Colt Cabana thing is just childish from a 50 yr old man who is jealous of another dude’s talent and pissed off there is heat from a decade ago. It’s his playground. Don’t come in here and try to show the other kids how to jump the monkey bars! The idea of Jericho being a locker room leader is terrifying. And they’ve let him have creative input when the dude has displayed nothing but Russo-like tendencies. Cornette raised an interest question the other week: If Jericho was such a locker room leader, where was he when all this stuff was brewing? He loves swooping in and benefitting from it. His ego is eventually going to clash with someone else. People like that have to throw someone else under the bus for their shortcomings. |
Holy shit, Dave Meltzer did a bit about Colt Cabana being used on Dynamite meaning that CM Punk was the guy keeping him off. He yelled on his radio show, almost blowing up Bryan’s ears without Meltzer’s face showing any expression.
It doesn’t even track. It can’t possibly be the company is just petty… Nah. It was definitely CM Punk holding Colt Cabana down. Even before he got there and Cabana couldn’t make Dynamite, it was Punk. |
Was Dynamite laughably bad or is it just me?
|
It was pretty meh
|
Quote:
Cabana was fun. I genuinely think not following wrestling social makes the shows more fun. No over excited expectations be it from the companies, wrestlers or just fan speculation. I really wanted Cage to win last night though. |
I enjoyed it. Messy in some parts but it felt like programs kept moving along and, as usual, there were some decent matches.
|
They’re running out of people to sign. But the good news is they can have people under contract and just not use them for ages, blame Punk, then use them and it’ll be like they’re new. Peter Avalon next week.

And I’m excited for HOB return, Elite return, the death Triangle feud is gonna rip shit up and FTR run to the belts will be good too. Lots to look forward too I think. |
lol the AEW shop is selling a CM Punk Christmas ornament. Only 200 of them are available.
|
|
That beauty can be yours for only 14.99!
|
That’s a cool $300 in Punk’s pocket.
|
He’ll sell more of those than Orange Cassidy sells shirts.
|
that looks so bad lol
|
Jeff Jarrett so good, first time I’ve seen him since WCW I think, looks in good shape and great on the mic, very glad we got a “slapnuts”
Only downside is he’s teamed up with Jay Lethal and co who I skip through every time they’re on, so boring. Wish he was in charge of The Firm instead since they seem like they’re going to be fairy prominent. Stokely isn’t a very good leader of a dominant hitman faction imo. Again too many ROH and uninteresting people involved in the show, need Bucks and Omega back asap. |
Billy Gunn vs Jeff Jarrett for the AEW heavyweight championship at the next ppv please
|
Quote:
I presume even though Punk's almost certainly not returning AEW have no choice but to offload the merch that was made for him since he gets a cut of it and is still, for now, under contract. They're still selling his shirts at live events too. Best to not fuck around with it, WWE pulled Punk's merch as soon as he walked out and then after they fired him they had to cut a deal with Punk to sell the merch online because he lost out on income from the walkout through his July release date. |

Desperate projection of SHAMBLES is a late-stage side effect of BOILING and being in TATTERS (along with rampant transphobia/homophobia). There is no known treatment for the BOILING TATTERS. Death is imminent at this stage. Goodnight, my child. Noid soon to be a widow.

The AEW video game is going to be so funny.

....after rereading his post that turns out to be a pretty accurate assessment.

They probably put a Jackson’s wife in charge of the Christmas ornaments, because she’s more than qualified.
|
There better be a Keith Lee one.
|
They need to have a Darby Allin Elf on the Shelf that you move around and position in different places. He can have a little skateboard and you forget he exists for the rest of the year.

Oh boy. The rapid fake ignores are speeding up. The disease is progressing quickly. The frenzied rofls are next. Then… oh boy…

Lol, Matt Hardy is like “The Elite are right. They’ve done nothing wrong. I witnessed it all.” Then he issues a correction: “Sorry, I wasn’t actually at All Out, I didn’t see anything.”
Fucking idiots. |

Jade Cargill: All the women in AEW can have a five star match, they just need the time to do it.
Does she mean they can have a five star match if their time wasn’t so short, or if they got more time to, like, train in a hyperbolic chamber or something? |
She’s also doing a Nikki Bella and taking swipes at how women are used in the company.
CM Punk’s fault. |
Ricky Starks has been off AEW television because of something non-injury related. It’s called terrible booking.

One of Jeff Jarrett’s duties in AEW includes managing house shows. AEW doesn’t currently produce any house shows. Whew, at least that job‘s done.

Reby Hardy has said “Fuck CM Punk.” So I think we can all break bread now we all know that Punk was in the right, at least in this situation.
|
Please. The constant L’s and Nyla Rose daring to call herself a woman have exacerbated our terminal angel’s shamblin’ boilin’ tatters enough. We don’t need to add a “Punk was right” on top of this. There won’t be enough rofls in the world to hide the pain. Delete your post.

Why didn't AEW advertise Mike Tyson for Rampage?
|
LolAEW
I wonder if he falls asleep calling it? |
This is a TNA level of incompetence
The Double J era begins |
Mike is clearly having the time of his life at Rampage
https://i.postimg.cc/SQ5t5G7p/Screen...9-16-18-PM.png |
Jeff Jarrett is insane if he’s going there to try and change things. He’s got the silver tongue, but he should just be going for the gold…that he can later resell.
|
I’m pretty sure Tyson is a Jericho vanity project though.

someone on twitter said Excalibur said it while he was speed-reading the card but I honestly didn't catch it

Some AEW clip started playing before and Excalibur’s voice came on and he’s fucking horrible. I imagine a large portion of the audience tunes him out.
|
WWE should respond by putting Tyson Kidd on Level Up commentary this week.
|
Just watched Dynamite and they promoted Tyson appearing twice. About to start rampage rn
|
Also, unpopular opinion: Kenny and the Bucks don't do anything for me and I don't miss them
