Years ago I bought a copy of the Deathmatch tournament Foley won in Japan on Ebay. Crazy stuff. It was recorded over a Godzilla movie.

I’ve seen a couple of Girl on Cinema’s AEW reviews. They’re pretty spot-on.

Just gonna predict that Shaq wrestling on Dynamite won't be a big ratings hit. I don't think anyone cares. I also predict that Paul Wight will get involved and end up in match with him at the ppv.

Oh hey they had Nyla Rose who is shit beat Thunder Rosa, who is the best women’s wrestler in the company.
AEW sucks bro |
Yeah I don't get that decision at all. Shida already beat Rose. Rose also hasn't done jack shit since losing the belt. What a waste. They should've just pushed Baker. I don't get why they're not going all in on her. She just beat Thunder Rosa.
|
If I had to guess, AEW probably going to give Nyla a proper reign this time since her first reign got messed up badly due to the coronavirus pandemic. Do agree that they should have built her up a lot better if that is going to be the case.
The other option would have been to just let Nyla keep the belt once they were able to resume running regularly post-Georgia tapings but they decided to not delay their plans for a Shida title reign. Sort of like what happened with Naito's title reign and EVIL last year in NJPW. |
Yeah they pretty much fucked up this final. Everyone knows Thunder Rosa is signing with AEW as soon as she can, just give her the spot.
Don’t want to see Rose vs Shida again. |
Women’s division easily the most disappointing part of AEW. It’s the only aspect of the company I have problems with really.
Loads of talented women but the booking of the division is so scatterbrained. |

Quote:
All it takes is one injury or for something to go wrong for whatever plans they have to get quickly derailed. Thunder Rosa getting the title was always going to be a long shot since she's not actually signed to the company and her NWA stuff takes precedence. MJF was in a similar situation when he was under contract with MLW where AEW held off on any real big pushes for him until after his MLW deal expired so his AEW deal would take precedence instead. |
See, the stuff with holding off on Thunder Rosa is fine. But why they pushing Baker to the moon? They made a big dealof her signing and tried to push her hard as face, she made an awesome heel turn and ran with it and her in ring work has only been getting better. Just give her the belt and built the division around her like they seemingly planned.
|
No clue besides them seemingly now holding back on giving her the belt until later.
Had she not gotten hurt last year, she was on track to take the belt from Shida but whatever plans they had for her and the division went up in smoke afterwards. Wasn't until very recently that AEW felt comfortable enough with her recovery and the easing of her back into ring shape. Didn't help that around the same time she got hurt, they also lost Kris Statlander to injury who was in line for a big push and be involved in a potential major feud with Baker for the latter half of the year. |
There’s no vision for anything in this company. Look at how they booked Omega before he became champ. Everyone seems to think Adam Page is the next guy. Look at how they are booking him now.
|
Anna Jay is injured so screw it all.

The next greatest YouTube sensation. John fucking Silver.

Can anyone explain why USA would move nxt to Tuesdays? How can't that be viewed as a sign of defeat?
|
It should make for an interesting Jericho podcast.

Quote:
Can't really move NXT to Thursdays or else they'd run into a similar situation as RAW with NFL competition during the later half of the year. They still are going to get hurt by NBA competition but that's usually the lesser of the two evils for WWE. AEW already has shown they can compete well against NBA games so the same should be possible for NXT on Tuesdays assuming they can boost their key demo and younger viewership to much higher levels. |

I'm not CRAZY about the "Horseman" revivals we seem to have happening just because they probably won't be able to use that trademark. We've seen that a bunch throughout history with Evolution and the TNA version that I can't remember the name for. JJ couldn't even get into the ring so I can't see him sticking around. In that case Tully can stay the manager and they can get a big name to play lead. I don't k ow if Spears is the right guy.

Confirmed it's Angle
|
Oh great. Not excited for that one bit. That's a huge let down.
|
:|
|
*wet farts*
Yep, even that felt better. Just gonna let it marinate even. |
Lemme take that back a bit. I'm disappointed if he's the big reveal. Maybe he shows up in the ladder match. That could be fun if he can actually go. He looks fucking ripped so maybe he's on whatever the Rock is on.
But if he's the big signing then I'll still be disappointed. |
Can't wait for Kurt Angle vs Sting!!!!!!
|
I think it’s Christian. Guy who reported he was under contract, got it wrong.
Angle would be terrible. It was painful to watch him wrestle in his last run. He is hunched over, has arm problems and can’t even straighten his legs properly. He has to turn his whole body just to look round. Not only would it be a terrible idea to have him wrestle again, it would be irresponsible. No one wants to see that in 2021.. Show clearly said “hall of fame worthy” and Angle is already in the HoF. |

Be funny if Angle comes out only to be attacked by another surprise
|
swerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrve
It'd be Abbas Jadidi to take him out. |
Maybe Kurt is training for the Olympics again. Wasn't he trying for another go at that a few years back?
|
To be fair he looks in way better shape now. He's definitely put a lot of work in for this
|
I can understand WHY he wants one last run. Not that he could move worth a shit in 2019 but he had a very undignified end to his in-ring career. Him losing his retirement match was fine, that's how it's supposed to go...but who the hell wanted to see him against Baron Corbin? Moreover, it was basically a 5 minute squash 6 hours into a 7.5 hour WrestleMania, everyone was long ready to go home by then.
But as much as he's worked on his physique, not sure the mobility is gonna be there. |
If it’s not Angle it’s kinda brilliant for him to capitalize on the rumors by putting out that teaser, could end up being an ad for his nutrition company or something.
|
If the surprise is Kurt Angle I think Tony Khan over-hyped it. Still looking forward to the show on Sunday, the card is really good.

It's me, Lock Jaw
With me in charge, this show can really go places |

WHAT IF IT IS THE YET-TAY
|
Remember at the first Double or Nothing when people were speculating Moxley was going to be the surprise entrant in the casino battle royale and then were bummed when it was Adam Page and then Moxley ended up debuting at the end of the night
I’m not done getting my hopes up yet |
And they did a similar misdirection when Matt Hardy debuted.
|
If that's the case I'll take Angle coming into the ladder match and Punk being the big surprise
|
He looks ripped. I don’t hate it. I mean if the matches stink or he talks all monotone again, I hate it. See how it goes.
|
I think it's possible that Nick Gage is the mystery ladder match opponent. He wins and then ends up joining Darby's fight against Team Taz when they cause shenanigans in the TNT title match in Dynamite. I believe Darkside is doing an episode featuring Gage so his "stardom" is about to grow. My other idea is Sammy for the ladder match but story wise that doesn't make sense unless he loses the ladder match due to Inner Circle interference.

Could see Gage being the mystery person for the ladder match.
AEW did have plans at one point to use him for their shows prior to him suffering a serious leg injury last year and he did make a surprise return at GCW's event last night. |
I’m hearing lots of people saying that AEW feels like it jumped the shark with Revolution.

They need to bring in Tomko if he cleaned himself up for a legendary storyline with Christian.
Show Christian sitting in the back when Tomko walks in wearing jeans and no shirt. Christian : Tomko, you don't have a shirt? Tomko : No. Christian : Why not? Tomko : I cant find it. I think someone stole it. This launches the "Missing Tomko's Shirt" storyline which can stretch for a few months as Christian goes on a mission to find Tomko's shirt. Several wrestlers become suspects. Cameras on CCTV are reviewed to show that Tomko walks in with a shirt but it becomes lost before he finds Christian. Tomko cant remember when the last time he wore the shirt was. |
Book IT!!

Then Christian one day comes out and says,
"Ive had enough. No one here can find Tomko's shirt. I have called the professionals. The FBI can find anyone...anything, and Ive called the FBI to find Tomko's shirt". Nunzio, Big Vito and Johnny Stamboli come out... Every week they catch wrestlers off guard in the back and sometimes even fans (Stunt grannies) and steal their shirts to bring to Tomko and be like, "Eyy this your shirt or no?". Christian : I think I might've dialed the wrong number... |
The storyline ends when it is revealed that Tomko was wearing his shirt all along! It's just a shirt that's printed and designed to look EXACTLY like his upper body and no one noticed.
SWERVE! |

Curtis wins again

Christian is definitely interesting in AEW. Will he improve ratings for Dynamite? I doubt it but he could a bit if used well. The thing is that I don't see a ton of obvious stories for him there. I don't see one obvious rivalry that jumps out at me. Now eventually getting involved with MJF would probably yeild some great results, and a match with Omega would be pretty cool too but other than that I'm not sure where he fits in. I could see good stuff with Penta, Fenix, Kingston, Archer but they will have to generate some interest there for sure. Like, if Angle had been the choice and he was capable of working at a higher level than his last WWE run then I would've seen him pairing up with any of the top young talents looking to get a win over one of the GOAT's. Obviously his day has gone and he probably can't work like he'd like to. Christian on the other hand has had some great matches and is capable of a lot. I'm certainly going to give him a chance here. Truthfully there aren't many stars available under 45 years old or thereabouts so I guess that just is what it is. We ragged on WCW in the late 90's and for pushing stars in their early to mid 40's, what we considered has beens and too old. But I think this is the cycle of the industry, pulling in stars of olden times when available has always been a promotional tactic in every company that has been of consequence. If AEW is ever able to snag a true recent WWE contract expiree, someone who's age is more viable like Seth Rollins or Big E, that will be the major feeling of OOOOH SHIT we've all wanted since the days of Luger showing up on Nitro, or X-Pac returning to Raw in 98.

I'm just glad Christian's getting the actual last run he's clearly wanted, no matter what company it happens in I'd be happy for him.
