Lol is he really trying to pull that? I’m not writing a fucking newsletter. There’s a big difference right there. But hey…gotcha! I gotta gotcha!

By the way, the thing with Jericho was that he heard Sasha Banks was getting paid out the ass, so he’s come in and tried to compare dicks with her.

You mean the thing with Jericho that you pulled out of your ass, right?

trying to pull what? missing an obvious joke?

Long-standing heat/probable racism confirmed.

Super Summer Sizzler Scuttlebutt and Shamblecast. What could have been…

Think there may be some misogyny and homophobia in there too.

Winner of the debate would have won a date with Ricky Morton.

(dream)date(rape)

Didn’t pull it out of my ass, but even if I did that’s a major false equivalence.

But what can you expect from a man in shambles?

The scuttlebutt on another forum I saw is that this new Jericho blunder is just a ploy by Noid to detract from new evidence of his long standing pedophilia. Probably racism, too. I’ll see if I can track it down.

:lol:

Just throwing this out there after watching Tribute to the Extreme

How the fuck in AEW's 3 year history has Super Crazy, 2 Cold Scorpio or Rob Van Dam NOT been introduced? Even as a one off appearance on Dynamite?

Super Crazy has got to be cheap as he has never really ever been given his proper due and always lingered on the outside but always very entertaining when involved.

2 Cold Scorpio has the WCW, ECW, WWF, NOAH, TNA, WWE and a ton of experienced background. Not to mention, never really given his fair due so he's probably fairly flexible in hiring financially.

Rob Van Dam... probably not cheap but still has IT. Book a fucking dream match with him and Kenny Omega in AEW; PAY him to put Kenny O F'N Mega over and call it there. Probably best to book him for one offs only, as that is where he thrives and delivers best bang for your buck.

All 3 were doing the stuff these guys emulated, but all 3 are also physically larger than the AEW crowd.

While Tony’s obviously not above bringing in guys solely for wrestling nerd nostalgia reactions, Super Crazy and Scorpio don’t seem like they would be high priorities. Even for a 90s wrestling mark.

RVD I can see coming in for a one-off someday but also probably not a high priority. If he returned to TNA tomorrow, it wouldn’t even get them much attention. The shine is gone.

Didn’t RVD create the phrase “All Petite Wrestling?”

I would actively groan at an RVD appearance. I liked the guy as much as anyone but I've seen all I need to from him. His 2013 WWE run felt like it was well beyond his sell-by date, nevermind a decade later.

Apparently he also raped Marko Stunt. Probably over some racist shit.

Yeah, he’s lingered too long in low profile positions to have any nostalgia charm left. But I can see him coming in in a role like Juventud had a while ago.

look at this scuttlebutt right here! my god!

i saw 2 cold scorpio live about a year ago and that son of a bitch can still go. wouldn't put him on tv in 2022 though.

Scorpio can still fly because he uses his third leg like a helicopter propeller.

helicockter

roflcockter

the meatspin of 2022

i'm not ready for another sexual awakening...

Like a record baby

I’d bring up RVD’s concussions, but I doubt that matters to AEW.

Why is he like this? :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

I’m looking forward to the meltdown when he doesn’t win booker of the year.

CM Punk has been doing a lot of shoutouts to FTR recently. Their deals are allegedly up in April.

TK wanks off dogs lololol

Tony Khan has promised set changes for 2023! Get hyped! This is the revolution!

It all starts here boys!

That will fix everything!

tk just shut the fuck up already then jfc

This is by far the most exciting thing to happen in wrestling in years.

LOL how?

Making a big deal out of your set change is a late stages WCW move.

Shut up loser it's only the beginning of the golden age of greatness in AEW!!!

Scuttlebutt on some other forum is that the new set will just be a mural featuring Jericho being racist toward Sasha Banks and Jim “hypocrite” Ross hanging out with Tony Khan. DISGUSTING AND SHAMELESS IF TRUE.

It can’t get any worse…can it?

How are you guys STILL working #Fan this much? Every time he replies he crumbles away a bit more, disintegrating at a level not seen since, well since the last time he had a fit, probably like 3 days ago :rofl::rofl::rofl:

AEW has filed trademarks for “WrestleBowl” and “Wrestling Bowl.” That will get things back on track.

Dax Harwood hopes to work with Cody Rhodes “very soon.”

Holy shit man, CM Phil and FTR Hair betrayed! #1youknowwho is not gonna be happy :rofl::rofl::rofl:

I mean, I didn’t dive deep for comment from Dax himself, so I’m no better than Dave Meltzer, but whatever.

Was just thinking about how badly AEW have fucked up almost all their talent acquisitions. If this were any other promotion — WCW, TNA, you name it — they would be dragged over the coals for how badly they have fucked up.

* Wardlow was getting so over as MJF’s reluctant bodyguard. I knew turning him face was premature, but they have taken a guy who gave people Goldberg vibes and firmly planted him in the mid-card. He’s in a going nowhere feud with an old WWE guy who doesn’t want to be there over secondary belts no one cares about. This is like if Goldberg beat Hogan on Nitro and then decided he wanted to make the US Title his only thing.

* Bryan Danielson is still one of the best workers on the planet and basically universally beloved. They’ve presented him in such a way that it actually breaks people’s hearts enough that they tune out whenever he is on the television. It’s taken them longer to run Seattle than it took WCW to run Canada with Bret Hart.

* Miro is sitting at home with nothing to do. He’s draining more company resources than Nailz did in WCW. People just want to see the guy come in and wreck shit. Meltzer justifies this by saying Miro knocked back doing a job. Why are you getting him to lose? The last time you saw him, paying customers were seeing him victorious alongside Sting and Darby Allin. If they didn’t know better, they could make the case that Khan got them to plonk down cash and invest on someone he just pulled from them in a gotcha.

None of this is good. None of this is ok by any standards we used to have as fans. They get the simplest shit so fucking wrong. But we’re supposed to stand back and clap because they pay Chris Jericho a truckload of money to play politics. Fuck that.

Keep finding the hot inside scuttlebutt in the smart people scoopz forum and maybe one day!

The Miro situation is weird. Tiny not being able to keep shit in house and had to let it be known that Miro is home because he disliked creative pitched to him. There is no reason to put that out there, but Tiny got defensive just because somebody questioned why he can't get Miro on TV.

Now you have Lana making comments about Miro will return to WWE, talking about Rusev Day, and praising WWE.

It’s kind of the booker’s job to be able to sell creative to the talent.

And it’s a tantrum. Miro could be on TV winning squash matches to keep him warm until it is time to do something with him. But because he didn’t want to lose a trios match to The Elite or whatever, he’s at home getting paid.

Wouldn’t surprise me if this heat started because Miro leaked that his bad gimmick at the start of his AEW run came from Tony himself.

That Keith Lee/Swerve/Rick Ross segment might have been the worst segment they’ve ever done.

Rick Ross so annoying talking over everyone else. It smacked of WWE celebrity guests.

Keith Lee is so uncharismatic, just stood there stroking his chin trying to be intellectual. That’s not a gimmick. His matches are quite fun when he’s throwing little people around.

Big fan of Swerve though, but pairing him up with two nobodies who got beat up even when blindsiding someone doesn’t seem good. Is there anyone in AEW currently who operates as an individual?

Hayter v Shida was great. Usually skip through 95% of the womens matches but that kept me interested right from the start.

The Lee/Swerve/Ross segment was bad and it also seemed to go on forever.

Good for Miro. World beater like him should rarely be doing a job.

And Miro is right about not wanting to lose. He’s lost enough during his run in AEW.

If the options are having Miro job to The Elite or having him off TV until a plan is in place, I'm fine with the latter.

(would obviously like to see him on TV doing good things but that's not on the table rn)

I lost hope in wrestling knowing how to push brutes a long time ago. Last time I watched AEW Adam Cole beat Samoa Joe virtually clean and… I just couldn’t.

I dont remember the last "celebrity" guest bit I didnt largely skip in any wrestling tbh. Its just never done it for me.

Lasers. We goin full TNA

Stop, that is what Spaz Tiny was hyping up, a fucking laser show??? For fucks sake :rofl:

New Year
New Dynamite
Same No Million

pew pew

You never go full TNA.

Soon, my man… Soon…

NOT A BAD COMIC, ACTUALLY.

Merry Christmas, dorx.

It’s crazy how a couple of idiots breaching a dude’s contract and getting beat up for it was turned into such a dramatic story. It was just a fight, but you’ve got Dave Meltzer, The Elite and Chris Jericho framing it like some sort of atrocity leaving psychic wounds everywhere.

There are lots of similarities between Chris Jericho and Hulk Hogan.

If the reports are to be believed, Jericho turned that chaos into a new $9 million contract extension through 2025. Dude is the best at working a contract since Hulk Hogan.

Who has benefitted from working with Chris Jericho in AEW? I’m trying to think of a single example. Next it’s Ricky Starks’ turn.

Chris Jericho

I mean Hager has been getting paid for 4 years to do nothing thanks to Jericho, so he benefited for sure lol.

Bingo.

Lol yeah. It’s not a bad gig if you can get it.

Tony Khan tried to address talent being left of his shows and basically missed the whole point. He’s assured people he’s taking it with a smile and that in other sports you don’t see players blaming the coach. Lol, you’re the one who signed all these people and are dropping the ball with them. It’s a problem of AEW’s own design.

I sense a meltdown coming on. I predicted one for Booker of the Year if he doesn’t get it (and he shouldn’t, but it’s the Observer so you never know). But I can see this evasive “there are no problems” problem blowing up on him too.

TK is an idiot. I dont know how many actual Billionaires in America, or more accurately how many Billionaire's kids, but I have to imagine they would all be a better public representative of a company than this goofball.

Dax Harwood said CM Punk told him he didn't even want to win the title! CM Punk just wants to have fun!

Punk to WWE confirmed.

Is Jericho's penis physically bigger than Chris Irvine's?

Starks has come a long way

background dude while injured 3 minutes in or so

Lol that video... Schiavone so excited "THIS IS STING!!!"

Then JR is just like "there he is."

Seems like Shawn Spears is done with AEW. Impact Wrestling’s gain.

He seems salty about his experience there. Which is funny, because he’s one of the guys I associate “fed bad” with. The shoot interviews are going to be interesting.

You'd think Tony went for a Springboard move on Joe, there. He reacted the exact same way.
