I know Kenny tweeted and also mentioned Aki a little while ago but they wouldn't tease this otherwise, would they?
They totally would, seems like the Twitter person is just into wrasslin based on previous Tweets, probably unrelated.

Way too early for that if theres anything at all yet.
The guys at AEW have already been vocal about wanting a No Mercy spiritual successor.They totally would, seems like the Twitter person is just into wrasslin based on previous Tweets, probably unrelated.

I forgot to mention how good of a look it is for NJPW, Juice is absolutely a good example of how if you truly want to develope as a wrestler maybe NJPW is the way to go.Eh, calling Juice a former WWE guy who has been unchained is a bit of a stretch. Sure Juice used to work at WWE but when he went to NJPW, it was as a young lion, not as an established wrestler. So I'd argue the reason why he's a much better wrestler now than he was back then is because he started at the bottom and was trained in the New Japan dojo, not because he's just allowed to be more creative. Though you're right as far the promos are concerned.
Regardless, great match and an amazing card. Interesting to see Moxley's wrestling Shota Umino at Dominion but I guess it'll help Moxley shake off some of his ring rust and gives Shota a nice sendoff.
MJF needs a match against Hangman or something.So what's a match you guys would like to see at Fyter? A few guys I'd like to see more from would be Jungle Boy/Luchasauras vs. Private Party.
If his Dragon Gate/visa issues are resolved by then, have PAC make a surprise appearance at All Out, and watch the roof come off the place.
Here's hoping. If he can't take an L anywhere because he has to look strong for his other obligations it really hurts things if his only option is DQ finishes constantly. Thank god hes a top notch heel who can get himself over as a performer without looking weak though or he'd bury himself goin for DQ all the time.
Yea hopefully he loses it, the whole "not being able to lose" angle got really old with NWO after a while as wellHere's hoping.

Eager for him vs Hangman Page as a built rivalry. Its got enough heat from fans where he couldn't show up at the PPV that it'll sell tickets hard.

Yes. I remember someone pointing out that they changed his title to "Bastard".Was PAC always on the roster page for AEW?
Ember Moon is another person I forgot the mention about people currently languishing in WWE that would do pretty well in AEW.
She can't cut a promo to save her life but as an athlete and a wrestler, she's incredibly good. She needs to be in a promotion wheres that valued more than being someone like Alexa Bliss or Lacey Evans.

She is probably top 3 in the company and she is absolutely wasted. Thing is she is super over with crowds, compared to her push. She could be massive if given a chance.
I'll give you Asuka, Kairi and maybe Charlotte but not the rest, as much as I love them them can't go like Ember.Top 3 is awfully generous. Especially with Asuka, Kairi, Charlotte, Sasha, Bayley, and Becky on the roster.

I'm interested to see who they get to team with the Lucha Bros at Fyter Fest. I'd like to see them get someone like Taurus from AAA
Vikingo could steal this even with all that talent.

Two alternatives I'd be more than happy with as well.
I mean, I hate to keep on about bashing WWE, but I have to here.
Can you even imagine how many talents WWE has destroyed in the almost 20 years it has been since WCW went out of business? How many folks started with the dream, trained, attempted to make it work, and then WWE just killed their passion for the entire thing and they gave up and have since moved on? How many of these folks had actual potential and it was just tossed in the trash bin? How many truly great workers have we missed out on simply because of how WWE works?
I love wrestling, I'll always be a WWE fan, but when I really sit and think about it it kinda makes me sick to my stomach.
I'm beyond thrilled that these people have a true alternative in North America once again.
One guy I instantly think about is Harry Smith. It's an abomination how much of his career has been wasted because of what WWE did to him. I know he has had success elsewhere since, but not on this kind of stage in the states. I hope he has the chance to go to AEW. I mean, look what WWE did to someone like even CM Punk. He had a passion and they beat it out of him to the extent that he may not even work anywhere ever again. I can't imagine what it did to the guys who never even were able to come close to what someone like a CM Punk or Dean Ambrose were able to achieve with those constraints. Ugh.
It also pisses me off that even the guys that ARE getting a chance now, like Shawn Spears, so much of his career was just wasted. Now guys like him are in the spotlight but they are already pushing 40 years old. Other than a short stint on the indies, he wasted like 13 years of his prime for absolutely nothing.
It absolutely applies to others beyond just the wrestles. The WWE system pushes everyone down with how it is. JR on Double or Nothing was more in his element than he has been in years in WWE. Even Billy Flippin' Gunn seems to be in a better head space now. I'm sure agents like Dean and Arn will be thrilled to have somewhere to work where they are free to just be creative and do their jobs how they should have always been done. I'm excited for the possibility of Rene Young following Moxley as soon as it's possible, they have actively ruined her in the booth in WWE. It's no wonder that we are hearing reports where tons of folks in WWE are interested in getting out. I would be too if I worked there. I also don't think WWE is safe from anyone wanting out, not even the top talent unless they have direct ties to the family. In a million years I never would have thought someone like Randy would ever leave WWE, but now it wouldn't shock me for a second. The creative envoriment mixed with the decreased schedule? Some of these guys would be insane to not be interested in getting out.
Real talk if Athena didn't have her finisher she'd be an average WWE women's wrestler. She's ok, but not amazing by any stretch. Her finisher is what makes her special.
I'll give you Asuka, Kairi and maybe Charlotte but not the rest, as much as I love them them can't go like Ember.
FTFYjust hours away from AEW number one contender chris jericho losing to some champion of another wrestling federation
0Even though I decided against ordering it because it had to be watched live, this is absolute bullshit.
PS4 is the main way lots of people view digital services so this fucks it up for a lot of people.
Can WWE actually patent the Royal Rumble rules given how ubiquitous battle royales in general are? It would be kind of like patenting the rule that titles never change via countouts or disqualifications. Also, I believe that 10 second countouts became a thing in the WWF in the 1980's, but since then, I've seen other promotions use this feature with no recrimination.WCW kinda did it with WW3, but theirs was kinda lame since it had everybody be already in the rings to start.
Booker T, many WCW and ECW guys after they closed, Eugene, Rob Conway, the Basham Brothers, the whole freaking Spirit Squad. Hell, for every Randy Orton or Cena, a bunch of OVWs talent was wasted. Heck, one of my buddies, who was trained by HBK and Manny Fernandez, got through a try-out but got turned down just because he was 40 at the time.
Kenta is in the G1 also. Can anyone explain the G1 more to me? Is it a multi night tournament? Saw they are doing a show in Dallas that says to be the G1 tournament, but can't find matches for it?
