uh oh noid eli drake is in the latest being the elite vid.
|
Well, AEW is officially dead to me. Have fun, folks.
|
:lol: all that Noid optimism in this thread gone in one fell swoop
|
AEW continuing to announce good things -- Their first show, 'Double or Nothing' and all shows will be 'sensory inclusive', -- they will have things and staff on hand to help fans with disabilities, such as Autism/PTSD so they can both enjoy and attend their show w/o being overwhelmed by all the sensory things happening.
They are teaming up w/ https://www.kulturecity.org to make it happen |
Oh shit, Eli Drake and Joey Ryan in the same segment. Is Noid's head still intact?

Why would we? Nothing wrong w/ Eli Drake or Joey Ryan.

Eli is meh but Joey is a blight on professional wrestling.

Seems like a solid hand w/ an established and known gimmick
Would be a benefit to any organization that hired him. |

Possible initial alarm bells ringing with this whole thing...
1. The Khans are making a potential mess at Fulham. A heavy spend upon promotion to the top division in England promised to bring big returns, but has produced a poor, badly balanced squad. They are now the only team in the division to be under their 3rd manager this season and looked lol but confirmed to being going down. Poor choices in players and on second manager. 2. Recent trademark news appears to indicate that the applications have been ballsed up and that all of them weren’t even properly applied for or paid for. Seems amateurish and combined with the Fulham scenario, is a bit worrying going forward and would make it seem like they don’t really know what they are doing. Might be fine and early teething problems, but it’s def a reminder of where they are. |

Joey Ryan brings entertainment in the tradition of The Godfather, Rick Rude, Sable & Val Venis to his matches. |
Quote:
In their case it was the Patent Office thinking All In was just a one-off type trademark and Bucks likely thinking they owned a regular trademark. Other legal issues related to All In is why ROH and not AEW owns the tape and broadcasting rights to that event. |

I know there are folks who just want this to implode because they hate the Young Bucks or whatever, but even WWE wasn't WWE overnight, a fact that even that company seems to forget at times. As long as they keep going the "alternative" route and not fall for the "competition" trap OR hope this thing becomes perfect before 2020 even starts and blow it up to start over if it isn't (aka the mistake TNA kept making by hitting multiple reset buttons). The beginning steps of possibly sustaining the brand should be around five years or so. Give or take. On the subject of Eli Drake and Joey Ryan... I personally dislike watching those two for divergent reasons, but they are capable in the ring. Eli still needs to tone down the "Tryhard Miavia" schtick (seriously, even Sonny Siaki wasn't aping him that much), and Joey is hopefully moving past trying to cling to what was supposed to be a one-off, contextual spot against one particular opponent and parlay that into a career move over a number of YEARS. It would be like if Adam Cole still was trying to get everyone to suck his dick while working his way up the NXT ladder. And, because I haven't done this in awhile and am overdue: Quote:

Interesting layout for a wrestling show, I'd be keen to check it out

Looks like the setup for the South Park Wrestling episode

They do have a Kenny, hmmm

An Amphitheater? Interesting choice for a venue.

Strange. Could look cool

Not saying it is, but I'm saying if one of them says in some future shoot interview that they were watching South Park and said "let's try to make that set for realsies", it wouldn't surprise me. |
Ace Romero is booked for the Over Budget Battle Royal

It wouldn’t be a battle royal if there wasn’t a big fat guy for the announcers to question who’s gonna be able to throw him over the top rope.
|
damn @ heinous neg rep from STD
|
I want to a TNA show at the delaware state fair a few years ago that was basically the same setup...the ramp came down from the musical stage and the ring was surrounded by seats on 3 sides. Got my foot stepped on a few times (most notably Brian Kendrick who seemed to do it every time he came by my side of the ring) cause i was in the front row and the railing was so close my feet had to go under it.
|
Also AEW getting Jim Ross seems like a big deal and I hope he does better announcing live matches than his work dubbing NJPW on AXS was.
|
AEW IS DEAD. They haven’t announced anything good in a while.
|
I would prefer Ace Romero in MLW but whatever. He’s good I guess but he does way too much. I would sign him if I was AEW and consider pushing him like Vader. Can you imagine Ace vs Kenny?
They need to announce some body cool. |

Mauro is one of the worst at it, you can instantly tell when a voiceover comes on instead of his actual commentary. Percy Watson is really bad at it too. Taz, JBL, and Lawler on the other hand always sounded the same, and you couldn't tell one bit. |
And the fan's of a company that hasn't even started have already become more annoying than TNA fan's that thought Vince had something to fear.

Tbf Jim Ross fucking sucked at doing live New Japan commentary too.

Can't wait to see Sonny Kiss go one on one with Chuckie T!

Did you just compare Joey Ryan to Rick Rude? |
Only actual comparison is this: Joey Ryan, like Rick Rude, has a mustache.
Kind of wish Rude was still alive, though. He would be the top heel in the Indies for two reasons: 1. He'd draw women, the anathema of the Indy Wrestling Fan. 2. He would cut the greatest promos in the world, making the fans absolutely loathe him. And he wouldn't even have to lie. It would be something to the extent of "Joey Ryan, we are a lot alike. People want to see both our dicks. The only difference is, the people who want to see my dick don't have one of their own." |

I’m struggling with Nakamura at the moment. I thought he would stay in WWE, but they have made seemingly no creative effort to try and retain him. The Revival and Usos got Tag Titles. The Hardys are getting a push. At least Orton and Styles know they are heading towards each other for Mania. They stuck Naks in a filler team with one of the most infamously disgruntled employees.
When Nakamura tweeted “WCW” after losing the US Title, I began to doubt his WWE future. I think that if he does leave, he’ll work DoN, possibly as the Cody opponent, win, but it only be a one-night deal to finish the US strong, before he goes back to New Japan and wins the IC Title back from ingrate champion, Tetsuya Naito. |
WWE's former musical composer Jim Johnston recently revealed he's very interested in the idea of working for AEW if given the opportunity by them.

I thought he was a fairly obvious person to go after. I’m surprised nothing has been announced yet, to be honest.

Familiarity breeds contempt. They might just need a change of scenery- fresh opponents that aren't just thrown together tag teams because WWE has that wild hair up their ass at the moment. There are only so many times they can have matches against The Bar and The New Day. Imagine going up aginst Dem Boyz in a ROH appearance. Hell, even a short run in Japan to clash against, say, GoD would get much buzz about which island boys go the hardest. And of course you have the elephant in the room and the obligatory matchup with Matt and Nick. |
The Usos could be treated as giant stars in AEW, who clearly want to put an emphasis on tag teams like The Young Bucks, The Lucha Bros and, eventually, Jericho & Omega. They could make a lot of money.

Young Bucks beat Lucha Brothers in an impromptu match to end AAA Rey de Reyes, winning the AAA Tag Team championships. Match at Double or Nothing probably for the belts.

They would make good money and have great matches, no doubt. I just don't see giving up a top spot with one company to at best be behind the team that are Executive Producers. This isn't like the good brothers who are being grossly under used. It seems like it would be more of a risk to give up what they have for what might be. |
I don't get why people assumed being "used" means that they are happy. There is a ceiling for tag teams in WWE anyway. Who says they would be behind The Young Bucks in AEW anyway? I can easily see The Bucks putting over a lot of the teams they wrestle -- especially The Usos if they come in.
|
Quote:
2) That's the thing about the "what they have" vs "what might be" - if enough people believe in what might be, it will be. Where Gallows & Anderson would just be "hey, more of our buddies are with us", a team like The Usos would be a coup in adding to "legitimacy" of being another place to work instead of having to fly to Japan, take a percieved "step down" to Impact or ROH, or pack it in and work at Home Depot. |
Quote:

I’m not saying they definitely will jump. I just think it’s very surface-level to assume they are spiritually fulfilled in their work just because they are treated better than most tag teams. Hell, they’ve only made one WrestleMania main card as a team, and that was a nothing match last year.

AJ Styles has confirmed that he has signed a new contract with WWE.
So yeah, scratch that one off the wishlist. |
I don't think anyone really believed he wouldn't.

Neither surprised nor shocked. Selfishly disappointed.

Tony Schiavone and Jim Cornette should be the special event commentators for AEW.

Tony and Excalibur will be GREAT

Both Omega and the Young Bucks recently revealed some new details about AEW during this past weekend's Comic Con event in Chicago.
Bucks revealed AEW will do tours and house shows but nowhere close to the amount WWE does. Omega revealed talks for a tv deal reached the point where they have a deal tentatively in place. Both also revealed official announcements regarding announcers will be made within the next several weeks. Omega also revealed the style of wrestling AEW will be trying to target. Quote:

Cody says AEW will never run during WM weekend.

And they shouldn't, for a number of reasons.

This is great. Hahhaha

That actually endeared MJF to me a lot. He and others can use this in promos.

That's at least worthy of a running gag on BTE segments of everyone wearing Shrek ears around him.

Jesus, this being around the time Shrek came out makes me feel so old.

Yeah, MJF is only 23.

Tony Schiavone say's AEW is bringing a big name
Quote:
|
Big national name? Could it be Goldberg? CM Punk? Alberto El Patron? Jon Moxley? Who? Who? Who?
|
My guess is Goldberg or Punk.
|
CM Punk is not returning to wrestling.
Could see Goldberg doing a one-off tough. |
Quote:
I think Goldberg would be a really fun big match with Jericho but anyone else and I'd be a little :wtf: at. |
damn...was sleepy and fell asleep and woke up, saw this thread and was like WTF why are all the posts from 2019...thought it was 2020 already
guess I should eat lunch s00n |
:shifty:
|
Punk could return to wrestling. It's his wheelhouse and he could get paid out the ass for it. He's got stuff to keep him busy, but doing spots for AEW here and there wouldn't be the biggest shock in the world.
|
Tony says he isn't going to work as an announcer for MLW, he was meeting Cody for Starrcast stuff. Excalibur was doing commentary for New Japan World recently... I think Jim Ross is likely going to be on the broadcast team, I wonder if they will bring Conrad into a spot with him as well.
|
Justin Roberts will be the ring announcer
he wont have to slum it in muai tai kick boxing on cbs sports |
Also, the national name is obviously
The American Artificial...Dustin |
Justin Roberts, Excalibur, Jim Ross
All good signings! |
Justin Roberts as the ring announcer was a no-brainer. Not really moved by Excalibur, to be honest.
