He's never confirmed or denied his sexuality. Him being Bi is speculation, although it wouldn't surprise me.
Good God id love Kenny and PAC
I don't really get why you would think that.While I like all the wrestlers, personalities and think this is great for the business theres this bit that feels like a "get rich quick scheme" to me and it bothers me.
Like, I dont begrudge them for it one bit, but I still get that impression.

They haven't figured it out yet but at the same time, they haven't even had their first show yet so I'm willing to cut them some slack upfront.
We won't really see how good they are with long term storytelling until after Double or Nothing and potentially a tv show, for now, what they're doing is fine.
Right now it should be about establishing the roster/finding chemistry and great matches.

Yeah Im well versed in everybodies backgrounds so Im not lacking on info but when I hear Omega is a VP I roll my eyes and go "lol of course"I don't really get why you would think that.
Cody, The Bucks, Omega and even Tony Khan (look him up, he's the billionare funding them and a huge mark) have a serious love for and history with the business.
They're 100% serious about doing this. If they wanted money, WWE was willing to give it to them in spades. They turned it down to found AEW which is a huge risky venture for them. Its not a guaranteed success.
Good grief how have they not spent some of Kahn's money on a graphic designer yet.
What will AEW's demographics be? And could that effect whether or not fans will get behind an lgbt performer?
Seems like you're just cynical and assuming they're old school carnies like Hogan, Nash, etc to me. There's no reason to believe they're just out to milk Tony Khan of his money, especially when they turned down huge offers from the WWE. Most of the current generation of wrestlers seem to me like very genuine people. And of course the main four got executive positions, the promotion is being built on the back of what they've been doing over the last couple of years (though they really should've negotiated to each get a small stake in the company, just look at how much Joe Silva made from the UFC's sale).Yeah Im well versed in everybodies backgrounds so Im not lacking on info but when I hear Omega is a VP I roll my eyes and go "lol of course"
It could just be a bias I havent identified yet, Im certainly for these guys to go out there and make their money.
If someone wanted to get rich quick, starting a wrestling promotion would be one of the dumbest things to do
Possible card thus far:
-Omega vs. Jericho
-Young Bucks vs. Lucha Bros
-Hangman vs. PAC
-SCU vs. Stronghearts
-Kylie Rae vs. Nyla Rose
-MJF vs. Janela

Anyway, some really cool signings but it fucking suuuucks they've basically made a NJPW deal near impossible. AEW already has a pretty amazing roster but still, they're no New Japan. No more Kenny vs Okada, Tana, Naito, Ishii and so on. It fucking sucks. And honestly, the lack of those potential matches makes Kenny seem a lot less special to me.
Sammy Guevara is a good signing, is he going to wrestle the heavyweights or are we going to get some more cruiserweights?
He's wrestled / can wrestle "heavyweights" fine.
AEW shouldn't have a cruiserweight division.
Golden Lovers ain't just a gimmick! Also he retweeted this thread himself.Kenny Omega is Bi??? I had no idea. That makes me glee lol. There's a black transwoman in AEW too? Damn, I love this.

I know Kenny is Bi, but you're telling me him and Kota aren't actually Kayfabe?
funky
What a heartwarming thread. I love the Golden Lovers so much.I know Kenny is Bi, but you're telling me him and Kota aren't actually Kayfabe?
Um, yes? We've had what, nine or ten Okada/Tanahashi matches over the last 7 years? And each one of them has been different from the last and amazing because in NJPW each match builds on the previous ones and the fact they only wrestle each other once or twice in an entire year keeps things fresh. If they announced Omega/Okada V tomorrow, it'd be just as fresh as the last four times they wrestled.I was with you til that last sentence. He's literally faced ALL of those guys. Do we need another Kenny/Okada match? Last year feels like the best version of that we'll ever get. These are much fresher match ups we're opening the door for.
They make fun of themselves and put others over constantly, the idea some people have that they're just going to be the Kliq 2.0 isn't based in reality.All these executive positions, they wouldn't dare book themselves a la Triple H late 2002-2005? Would they?
Young Bucks literally got reckt by Lucha Brothers, live on stage, in this very conference!They make fun of themselves and put others over constantly, the idea some people have that they're just going to be the Kliq 2.0 isn't based in reality.
As long as their partnership doesn't extend beyond talent share, it's gonna be alright.I know they don't have much choice, but it's amazing that AEW have partnered up with the only company that could be considered carnier then WWE
I don't think that is more important, its just a kideo game and there's plenty of good ones out there like some sweet MDickie jointsWe're all missing the single most important thing:
If AEW is succesful, we might get some licensed game, possibly even ones that are good!
Unfortunately things will change once people are told they have to lose. Its the nature of the game.AEW seems to want to be open to everyone regardless of bad blood and seem open to wrestler's personal demands
But this is the start, and I wonder if they launch strong and hit popularity and success if they'll still be as willingly
Time will only tell I guess
