What would everyone’s thoughts on Cryme Tyme being Jericho’s partners? Or Shad Gaspard & Muhammad Hassan? They’ve just released a comic book together. Shad & JTG did a video claiming they “stole” the AEW World Title. I assume they want in.

They never thrilled me in the ring and they were presented as too much of an OTT gimmick, but there’s no doubt that they were super-charismatic guys, with some size to them too.

JTG in particular really bulked up. I saw him at WrestleCon and was floored by how huge he was considering he always looked like one of the smallest guys on the roster in WWE.

That said, I don't know if AEW is going to add even more teams just yet. Jericho's partners are almost assuredly going to be LAX.

Damian Rey 2.0 09-14-2019 12:32 PM

Lmao "assigned" gender as if the doctor is sitting there trying to decide what declare. Nyla was born wth a penis. She's built like a man. She wasn't assigned her gender by a doctor. She was biologically born a male, with male genitalia. Whether or not she ever felt like a man, or identified as one, is irrelevant. Regardless of how she felt, she was born a man. She wasn't assigned to that gender group as if she was being picked for a team to play dodgeball on.

XL 09-14-2019 02:51 PM

“Assigned Male Status” is one of the weirdest phrases I have ever heard. That said, I’ve not taken the time that Noid has to research/understand the innumerable complexities of the transgender individual.

This hot take was brought to you by #Science.

Simple Fan 09-14-2019 03:39 PM

Noids thought process is amazing, how in the hell he went from trans people to trees I'll never know. At least now we all know that if a painting of a tree is actually a painting of a photo of a tree than it's not scientifically a tree.

Or it being comprised of shapes. Or is it even a tree? Maybe it’s a painting of a photo of a tree? Maybe the artist did paint a tree and it’s supposed to be a tree and the artwork is called “Tree.” Whatever. That’s cool. But to see that painting, have no more information and to say “scientifically that is a tree.” Is it? It depends. It may be in how it is perceived and described by people, but it’s not botanically.


Ultra Mantis 09-14-2019 04:20 PM

From a purely scientific standpoint, if Noid were to transition into a potato, his post quality would dramatically increase.

Some trans people don’t identify with a fixed gender. Plenty of non-binary trans people. But we’re not talking about constructed gender here.

Plenty of women with penises, my dude. Not all the information about what is happening to someone is obvious and observable at birth. Assigning sex is totally a thing.

It’s definitely a weird-sounding term if you aren’t used to it. Most people don’t think about this sort of stuff, because they don’t really need to. It’s only a small percentage of people it applies to and what ever. Normally you can differentiate sex based on phenotypical information. It’s just a small asterisk that hey, you can’t always 100%. Listen to how people like Rey are talking like they were actually in the room or watched Nyla grow up. It’s kind of pervasive, without meaning to be. And they’re so angry about it. So many people insist the existence of Nyla’s penis. And putting up your hand and saying “yo, it’s not necessarily like that” gets you ridiculed. No evidence to the contrary. The best point raised so far is “she’s transgender, so she must have been something else first.” A trick of words, not science.

I don’t know when she started transitioning. I don’t know when she realized “I am a woman.” I don’t know if she ever felt comfortable being called a male, or if it was always something her brain — real fucking scientific synapses — always rejected. I don’t need to. I’m not the one saying she scientifically used to be male. The onus is on the hypothesis to be provable.

When in the second grade, XL had an awkward experience with a girl. I don’t know this. I’m guessing based on what I know about growing up. It’s probable that you did at some point that year. I’ve been very unspecific as to what they experience is. It’s not scientific though. And if you came back and said “Actually, nah, it was a great year and nothing like that happened,” should I be completely shocked? And should I be so goddamn mad that you’re not making it so fucking simple for me. You wrote a book called “My Awkward Young Years” for crying out loud.

I dunno, it seems simple to me. Biological sex is sometimes, not always, more complicated than a binary. Gender is constructed, but sex is determined. That is determined by genealogical and environmental factors. Those factors are fact, but they don’t mean any assumption built off them is fact. If Nyla weighted 230lbs, that is a fact. Nyla weights 230lbs because she likes cheese sandwiches is an assumption until you know she’s 230lbs because she eats cheese sandwiches.

Fan, you are literally a nationalist piece of shit that doesn’t understand why someone would care about what happens to someone else in another part of the world. And you’re an Eli Drake fan. You have no input as to anything ever. You’ve struggled with what analogies are before too.

He did always look small in WWE. I always wondered if that was, in part, because he was standing next to Shad. He was billed as being something like 230lbs. May not be his shoot weight, but way bigger than I used to think of him as.

Here’s an easy to read article that puts things succinctly, for those of you who like to read: https://www.nature.com/news/sex-redefined-1.16943

Damian Rey 2.0 09-14-2019 09:05 PM

Yes Noid. She's an intersex. Just like about .05-.07% of the population.

I’m not saying she’s intersex. And what do population figures have to do with anything? Transgender people are something like 0.6% of the population. Should we also just pretend they don’t exist or cite them being a rarity to ignore their existence if someone was talking about the gender binary? Should something being rare mark it as impossible? The rarity of DSDs are discussed in that article, so I can tell you didn’t read it. And, to re-stress, I am not saying Nyla is a case of that. I am just saying that biological sex is more complex than “penis = male.” Lots of stuff can go on, even if it isn’t likely.

And I’ve never said that #1-wwf-fan was probably wrong. I’m saying that to say she was categorically, definitively, concretely, authoritatively male is a declarative statement that I wouldn’t make. It is *probably* true. But #fan didn’t say “probably.” He said “scientifically.” It’s just that fucking word. #fan wasn’t doing this, but people use it to justify their bullshit all the time. “Oh, there are only two genders. It’s scientific.” No one here is doing that specific shitty thing (thank fuck), but it fucking pisses me off. They start with their hypothesis as a conclusion and then just say “science” as their methodology. Nah, fuck you.

If biological sex were as simple as “penis = male” scientists wouldn’t have to study for eight fucking years or whatever to get the qualifications to ask more questions about these things. I’ll let my friends in the medical field know that Damien Rey 2.0 has made their jobs redundant because intersex people are rare and if you’re transgender it means that you used to definitively be the other thing. Thanks for fixing that.

And the thing is, we don’t even know that Nyla was born with a penis. We don’t know the details of her identity or her formative journey. Maybe there’s a doco on her I missed? Even so, there are definite arguments to be made that how she exists now is proof in itself that she was never *scientifically* a he. Trans women are women, and I’d say that doesn’t start at the date of surgery. It goes way back through time, memory, experience and development.

Mr. Nerfect 09-16-2019 08:55 PM

It’s getting closer. I’m hoping they put on solid TV. I haven’t really stopped to consider that we’re getting a new wrestling TV show. I’ve been thinking more roundly in terms of “product.” But the things like the bumpers, intro music and all those little production things are going to be new, and hopefully fresh.

I don’t think The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega will avoid Louisville because of Cornette. If anything, pettiness will drive them there. I think I remember it being one of their biggest interest areas, like Charleston was, but I might be mistaken.

I was looking at full gear tickets on Ticketmaster and there's still a bunch of tickets available directly from Ticketmaster. I also noted there's ringside seats available front row..for $2500. I went to a WWE ppv a couple years ago and got very similar front row ringside tickets off Ticketmaster directly for like $300. I'm gonna buy off a different 3rd party site though since I can avoid the ridiculous Ticketmaster fees.

Also, I'm very sad to admit it as I love him in PWG, but Excalibur has gotta go. He's not very good at mainstream announcing. Golden Boy and Jim Ross were great to listen to though.

Vastardikai 09-23-2019 10:26 PM

Honestly, I'd do a bit where Ex gets taken off of television in a violent manner, including getting his mask torn off. He takes a few months off, polishes his craft, and then comes back as a completely different and mask-less personality.

Simple Fan 09-24-2019 02:02 AM

No Excalibur needs to put his mask up in a match. Have someone defend his mask for him like Cutler.

I have been critical of MANY of the AEW wrestlers for saying and doing stupid stuff. Hell pretty much any name value person they have are at best very hypocritical (ex:Jericho), and at worst crybabies with a false sense of accomplishment and bravado they never earned (ex:Omega), so much so that it has really hurt their likeability.

That said, the one guy who has come off genuine and humble has been Cody. Sure his on screen character has done some goofy things like cosplaying HHH and scaring his dog with pyro, but that is within the confines of the show.

As an EVP repping the company, he has been the perfect spokesperson.

Can you imagine if the other wrestlers shut up and just let Cody be the mouthpiece for the company? I think everybody would agree there would be a lot less to bitch about, and a lot more goodwill still in the bank.

Guess ITV handles ad breaks differently than Sky Sports which was WWE's previous network home.

Then again ITV also has a pretty bad track record recently when it comes to handling wrestling. Killed World of Sport's revival because of their general incompetence.

Ultra Mantis 09-25-2019 08:04 PM

US TV has twice as many ad breaks as UK TV so it's a TV standards regulated issue. When it comes to live shows I'm pretty sure (at least this is what they used to do) Sky Sports gets around it by running less commercials than usual per ad break and just throwing up the WWE logo until they come back on, which is basically dead air.

Emperor Smeat 09-25-2019 08:10 PM

That was something I noticed a lot whenever the RAW/Smackdown stream I was watching came from the UK.

Replace all that dead air with hockey commercials and that pretty much is how its aired in Canada via Sportsnet whenever a stream was from there.

Nearly a week after their UK TV deal was announced, AEW has their Canadian TV partner locked and loaded.

Starting Wednesday, AEW Dynamite will air live on TSN reported by PWInsider and confirmed by Dave Meltzer. No other details were announced at this time.

There is a considerable history between TSN and pro wrestling as WWE, WCW, AWA, and Stampede Wrestling have appeared on their airwaves over the years in addition to Michael Landsberg conducting several notable wrestling interviews on his Off The Record show.

ITV announced last Wednesday that Dynamite will air on ITV4 Sunday mornings, a four-day delay followed by a one-hour highlight show on Monday nights. They also announced AEW Plus, a Fite.TV powered service that will let international viewers watch the show live for $4.99 a month. After some negative reaction, AEW president Tony Khan tweeted last Thursday that he is trying to work with ITV to air it on Thursdays.

AEW Dynamite debuts at 8 PM Eastern this Wednesday on TNT in the U.S.

That adds up since by the time Cody and The Elite held All In a few months later, there were already some rumblings of someone being interested in starting a potential new promotion and All In quickly catching Kahn's attention.

Kahn was also only interested in Omega, The Young Bucks, and Hangman Page to be the core of his new promotion and help set everything up. Wasn't interested in Cody and only brought him in after Omega and the Bucks managed to convince him it would be a very good idea to do so.

This is the biggest possible deal that AEW could sign here in Canada.

To think about TSN's reach, they are also part of what was, 9 years ago, an Olympic broadcasting consortium that televised the highest-rated TV program Canada's ever aired....the 2010 Men's Olympic Hockey Championship between the U.S. and Canada, where Sidney Crosby, from Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia, scored the biggest international hockey goal, for a title, that Hockey Canada is responsible for....at 7:40 in OverTime to sink the U.S., 3-2.

That game attracted an average audience of 16.6 million viewers, with 26.5 million watching SOME part of that game. Canada had a population of about 33.4 million people, so that pretty well meant that the promotional power of that consortium, mostly led by TSN's owners, Bell Media(also owners of the CTV Television Network, TSN's primary network partner), proved very fruitful at that time. It's something that, sadly, the CBC could never hope to do whether they hold the Olympic broadcast rights or not in this country.

And for the record, TSN's main studios are located at 9 Channel Nine Court in Scarborough, Ontario, which is a part of the City of Toronto, and sits on that city's eastern third.

Just some backgrounder there for those here who don't know what TSN is =)....and it looks like more ring action just got dumped on me. XD
