Not if he's also aloud to do AEW. With their limited schedule he can pretty much do ROH, NJPW, NWA, and AEW if that is what his contract really is. He is the smart one at that he can play multiple companies but I don't think he's in the mind set that he's trying to avoid AEW. He knows his friends are worth some money but he's not going to tie himself to just them.

On the flip side, he's also staying in a company that's at its coldest point in a long time. Its why he also started working for NWA and keeping the NJPW door open for himself just to maintain his outside exposure.


Yeah, right now he's in a very great position to vastly improve his value both in and outside the ring especially if this new booking job ends up being successful.

Even if his new booking role doesn't turn around ROH, he's still going to be a highly sought after talent on the market when it comes to his next deal. ROH currently having the NJPW deal and AEW not having one is a huge advantage for ROH.

Haven't seen either one, but I wonder if this will end up being someone's gimmick... you know, like that Diva's poll did for Cody once upon a time.

Got around to watching NXT UK's TakeOver show from Sunday.

Pretty good show overall although NXT UK still hasn't had a TakeOver I'd put on the same level as a upper tier NXT TakeOver.

Tyler Bate vs. Jordan Devlin was great and one of those must see type matches. Women's title match and Ladder match for the tag titles were also very good.

Not sure what was dumber, the booking decisions during WALTER vs. Coffey match or what happened after the match.



Spoiler tag used in case anyone that hasn't watched the show yet doesn't want to be spoiled by what happened.

Very considerate of you, Smeat. Unlike Simple Fan who has spoilers in the title of his Impact thread.

The TNA ppv reviews from Bryan and Vinny are fucking hilarious!

If Scurll can get Sinclair to break the bank, that’s a major fucking start.


Cody is about to get on all fours and be whipped like a dog to get a match with MJF.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Imagine getting so Mad On The Internet that you straight up admit to not paying some wrestlers and make your boss, WWE Hall of Famer/Executive VP Triple H, look even worse for claiming on WWE's podcast that he only signs development deals with indie promotions that pay reliably. <a href="https://t.co/QwkqOy9obp">pic.twitter.com/QwkqOy9obp</a></p>&mdash; David Bixenspan (@davidbix) <a href="https://twitter.com/davidbix/status/1216852730318331904?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 13, 2020</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

This is either the 2nd or 3rd time since Triple H gave the excuse about WWE killing the British indies actually being a good thing that EVOLVE's owner decided to make a big fool of himself and help make Triple H's claims feel even more BS.

My understanding was the whipping thing is if MJF wins his match against Cody.

Jay White being announced for Supercard of Honor 14 before WM

1 year prior he was main event MSG

Lol

Awesome! Cancel culture takes an L

I thought he had to win a Cage Match and then get whipped to get the match.

Hmmm... googling it, you appear to be right. Guess I misunderstood/misheard.

At least it makes slightly more sense now why Cody didn't "instantly accept" the match and is taking "time to think about it"

It's probably not your fault. I've seen lots of people confused about it.

And Kris Statlander is an alien.

Lol, remember when Matt Hardy killed Jeff's dog?

"The Black Cloud." Coming to an AEW arena near you.

"Literal fucking dog"

That would be funny

At least the Big Bossman and Al Snow feud was actually entertaining to watch unlike the Corbin and Reigns feud on Smackdown.

Becky had her eyes closed..wrong thread too lol

We don't know Al Snow's culinary tastes

There is nothing that beats this though. So fucking hilarious. Late 2000 WCW is just the greatest lol.

Apparently Triple H has been catching a lot of online backlash for a tasteless joke he made at Paige's expense regarding her sexual life.

Making things worse is the joke also was a bit mean spirited to say considering Paige has been public before about not being able to have kids due to a medical problem she had in the past.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Not Triple Nose dragging Paige <a href="https://t.co/x2nNypRcx8">pic.twitter.com/x2nNypRcx8</a></p>&mdash; A ❄️ (@LocalWWE) <a href="https://twitter.com/LocalWWE/status/1216511335938260992?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 13, 2020</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

She'll get a random bonus, some extra TV time, and no one will care in 2 weeks.

Triple H seems like the sort of guy who laughs the loudest at his own jokes and slaps the shoulders of people who are awkwardly looking to exits.

Triple H has always told shite jokes. If people only care now because he zinged a tart with a barren uterus then those people are wankers that need a good sized punch in the teeth.

No, you don't.

I don't know why, but the fact that she's down for kinky shit and can't have kids makes Paige even more attractive to me. :shifty:

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Wow. F*** this. Fire me.

No one's figured this out yet

What do you mean figured it out? Is he fired?

Or is he just being a massive douche again?

Wow! Online fan's and current wrestlers suprise me yet again when i think they can't become even more bitchy and sensitive.

Who knows

Who fucking cares?
