That would pop me lol

WWE, TNA or someone should. It’s not even out of spite. It might just temper expectations of fans who are actually excited about a move.

That’s why I am thinking he has legit not signed with anywhere. You kind of need to do this as a shoot.

Also, how Tony would be able to keep his mouth shut about it. The dude flew Will Ospreay over to appear on PPV to tell people he will be signing in a couple of months.

I figured he had signed when he was one of the leaders of the brigade dog piling LuFisto.

He has been nothing but an AEW shill since. But MJF isn't the guy they should be scared of losing. That would be Starks. A guy who is slightly older, willing to learn, a decent promo and just needs direction. If Lexis King can be a bigger deal in such a short time, Starks would be huge.

I dunno. You may be right, and I should be expecting it so I don’t get disappointed lol, but something about the whole situation seems “off” to me. Like it’s all going to plan.

Continental Classic field:

Blue League
Andrade El Idolo
Brody King
Bryan Danielson
Claudio Castagnoli
Daniel Garcia
Eddie Kingston

Gold League
Jay Lethal
Jay White
Jon Moxley
Mark Briscoe
Rush
Swerve Strickland

Some of these matchups are mighty tasty

Brody King is surprising. I love the guy and guess it makes sense to work a big hoss in there but figured Buddy Matthews was the HOB member most tailor-made for it. Brody’s a great candidate to play a spoiler role in it.

Jay Lethal is a pretty whatever addition but he’ll have a reliably good match with everyone in his block and someone’s gotta finish last in the block.

20 minute time limits so I’d not be surprised if a match like Mox vs White ends up as a draw

That’s a bit stronger than I thought it’d be tbh. I was expecting 5-6 guys at like Wheeer Yuta, Matt Sydal and Action Andretti level.

But I could still do without Lethal, Briscoe and Garcia. Swerve vs Danielson seems like a reasonable bet to be the final with Swerve getting his win back over him.

Swerve should really be getting a push into the AEW title scene but I guess they’ll just add a new belt to give to him and pretend it’s prestigious. Meh.

I thought this as well. Zero interest in any of these guys. But I guess you do need people to lose these matches, right?

Continental Classic looks pretty weak. Leaves a lot of hanging questions about why some people would make it, others wouldn’t.

Rampage is going against Survivor Series now too. They’re gonna die. SmackDown went against Collision in a different time slot and Collision got 270k or something.

Corporate Continental CockSnogging Classic

I guess yeah. Would just have preferred replacing those three with say Omega, Miro and Malakai or something along those lines. But like you said, someone’s gotta take the L’s. I think I’m just glad there’s no Wheeler Yuta anyway.

It’s crazy how when AEW is hurting, they do way more of the same shit that got them into that hole.

The participants are so random for this Bound for Glory ripoff.

If Swerve doesn't win it all then I really have no idea what the point would even be.

Speaking of, his promo on dynamite tonight was so awkward lol

Lol he’s just so bad but constantly given mic time in backstage segments. He’d be better off just staying on Rampage or ROH exclusively to try and generate some sort of charisma. He currently has negative charisma.

Kinda feels like they want him to get reps but he just doesn’t seem to have it in him. Solid upper card ROH guy is his sweet spot I reckon.

He truly is Wheeler Useless

QT Marshall has “resigned” from AEW. He left what seems like a pretty classy statement, but that there’s a statement at all, and the nature of some of the details he included reveals some mad layers.

Tony's going in a different direction creatively no doubt! Doesn't help that Triple H killed Amy hype they got from Osprey and implied that AEW's development system is ass in one night.

lol the head of talent relations bailing. If these L's don't stop coming TK might end up overdosing on copium.

Tuesday seems like a good day to announce a huge announcement.

QT Marshall very subtly letting people know that he formatted the shows, with the implication being “good luck without me.” Wednesday could be a real mess. :lol:

I’m imagining a format put together by Tony Khan himself looks like the jottings of a madman.

I feel so sorry for the next wrestler Tony brings in as a huge announcement. I can kind of see Dolph Ziggler getting a kick out of it, because he’s 40-whatever and past it. But way to immediately start off on the back foot.

So WBD seems to be the front-runner for Raw. It makes sense from WBD’s perspective. What are you going to sell more ad rights for? A PG juggernaut or a show that promotes people literally drinking each other’s bodily fluids?

If it goes through, people are going to blame that treacherous David Zaslav or predatory WWE. WBD have been giving AEW chance after chance for 4 years now. They’ve had time to do more than appeal to a niche.

So while the forum was down, a Vice President quit AND WBD wants Raw? How hasn't Tiny Khan had another meltdown yet???

Next it’s going to be MJF and taking away the New Japan deal via signing Okada.

You could feel Dave seethe through the tweet. It’s not official yet. WWE are going to do what makes sense business-wise. Amazon might come in with a giant offer or something. But WBD want wrestling. It wouldn’t SHOCK me if Raw goes somewhere else and WWE still provides TBS with 2 hrs on Wednesday.

What is gonna last longer, AEW or TPWWForums???

I just know TNA is going to outlast them both.

TNA and Twinkies will be the only survivors of the nuclear apocalypse to come

Speaking of, Dixie Carter was at Raw this week lol

That’ll be Tony Khan in a couple of years.

QTs announcement seemed fine, business is going in another direction and hes not on board. All good, happens daily all around the world. From what I read hes working out his notice or not renewing contract. More power to him.

How did HHH kill the Osprey hype? I think I missed something there.

Also whats up with the forums? They always seem to be down lately.

You’re such a mark, Sting Fan lol. Sorry, but you just are. It’s nice you’re trying, I guess.

Glad you’re still enjoying the product.

I too have issues with forums! But I wasn't brave enough to say anything.

Websites fine for me but when I try and access the forums there down probably 50% of the time.
