Think it was due to a mix of attitude issues and her being outspoken about Bill DeMott's abusive training regime in developmental. Also some alleged homophobic slurs she made during her time there.

Think she also had a similar rep in regards to attitude issues in some other places she's worked in.

Glad Ivelisse and Jazz are in. A bit annoyed they are doing another stupid fucking Battle Royal.

Who's going to bust out the baby oil in this one?

The morbidly obese guy is going to use it to shove the legless guy up his ass.

Really hoping AEW runs NYC this year.

I agree. The first one wasn't well received by anyone why do it again? Aside from that... Two Royal Rumbles , New Japan Rumble, Rumble of Honor, MLW 40 Man Rumble, Casino Battle Royal 1.... TOO MANY GODDAMN BATTLE ROYALS THIS YEAR

Maybe they learned some things from the first and will have a better one this time?

There is no such thing as too many battle royals

I like battle royals. I would say the majority of the casual fan does as well.

Casual fans don't watch wrestling anymore. Hell, look at how quiet these boards are. Hardcore fans barely watch anymore.

This is coming to my area in a couple of weeks. A few notes:

1. Mikey Gulino's "Three Faces" (We always called the first one Guacamole for some reason, The Creator, and Coach Mikey) were the gimmicks he used around Augusta, which is his hometown (he's a super nice dude).
2. The show name is an obvious homage to "Joey Janella's Spring Break." In and of itself, that means nothing. However...
3. Most noteworthy folks on the poster are Leva Bates and Christopher Daniels.

Speculate away...

Joey Janela's Spring Break went from initially being cute novelty to being ramped up to a level beyond parody, and now it's encouraged spin-offs.

Ugh.

Yeah that show "won't matter"

Fuck Yes

Only around 40% of its roster?

Given how many people have already been seen on their shows, that means the roster is fairly gigantic. Might allow them to not have to have the same people wrestle on TV week after week after week, which will help keep everybody fresh.

Jim Cornette is gonna have a stroke is he ever gets near AEW.

I'm not gonna deny that she's kind of a tool, but she is definitely a strong worker and was a free agent.

Interesting. If true, that means their roster is likely around 110 to 115 wrestlers.

I'd assume a huge chunk of the remaining roster are probably just part-timers either as freelancers like Ibushi before he signed a NJPW contract or doing double duty work like Riho with AEW & Stardom.

If not, then AEW is going to quickly run into the same problem NXT has with a very bloated roster and not enough quality time to spread around.

That was inevitable after Spring Break 2 raked in some serious cash for GCW leading to more Janela themed shows and spinoffs happening.

Cody Rhodes seems a little pretentious

Much of the roster consists of small children (credit: Jim Cornette), it appears.

I don’t know how I can take the main event seriously when the rest seems like comedy divisions. Come on, Cody. :(

:y::y:

Orange Cassidy is great on a GCW show or whatever but if he is going to do that gimmick on TV for AEW then honestly IDK. I really like Tony's view on AEW saying he wants it to be a "sport".... but then they signed Orange Cassidy so idk.

Summerslam was pretty good guys!

Fixed

Hi I'm Jim Cornette, and I hate fun and comedy in wrestling, also I hate cosplay wrestlers. I like my wrestling serious, and serious only and will threaten violence upon anyone who exposes the business. Anyway, here's my world champion wrestling a 4,000 year old mummy.

I wasn't talking about him beyond the wording of his Tweet or whatever it was.

I like Cody. I’m holding off on calling him creative until weekly TV. So far the shows they’ve put on have been a lot of athletic matches with no sign of long-term storytelling, bad comedy and a handful of meaningful gems. So pretty much just mid 2000s TNA.

There's only one man who can get me really invested in AEW.

And that man is Avery Hoke.

It doesn't matter if you have the world's best potato salad on offer if there is also a chance that you're going to get dog shit from another section. People are just going to go to where you don't risk the dog shit.

If I had an extra ticket to the show in DC would anyone want to go for free? I'm debating on whether to buy 1 upper level ticket on the far end for $35 or buy 2 uppers for $21 each but in a slightly better seat view.

Approx view for 2 ticket seats (ring would be around center Court/stage would be to right)

If anyone's interested I'll go with the two Tix otherwise I'll just buy 1 or try for better seats. I'm not really interested in paying out the nose for better ticket though.

AEW tix between $20-$90

Very reasonable pricing

Im buying my tickets off a reselling site. I kinda figured Id be paying more for a ticket, but nor really if I can buy a resale ticket for $20-30 which when factoring in Ticketmaster fees might be cheaper than directly buying since the site im using doesnt charge fees.

The black background they use for promos like this fit great. Brandi delivers a great promo here.

I DIG THE MASTER SPLINTER POST. YOU HAVE MY SUPPORT.


Every time I scroll past this, I keep reading it as "Brady Hoke", and wonder WTF he could bring to the AEW table that he couldn't at Xichigan?
