Sena was friends with Hikari before becoming a wrestler and she inspired her to become a wrestler.
Miu Watanabe and Mirai Maiumi weren't out with the flu, they had their coming of age ceremony.
Interview with David Benoit, Chris Benoit's son just come out. He opens up about a few things. Very nervous, but to my knowledge this was the first I think anyone has ever mentioned Benoit's son. He work in the oil fields, but is actively trying to get into wrestling.
Yes! Kane! In 2020!Holy shit, BIG NEWS
So who is he jobbing to? the fiend or Corbin?
No joke, I would love him in the Rumble to pad his stats further. He deserves to have that record.
Kane and Big Show in 2020, new decade, same old shi....ndig?
With WWE's hard on for breaking records one has to wonder how they'll go about eventually topping the Big Red total.
Every sole elimination for a cheap nostalgia pop before getting eliminated by the flavour of the month big man is still one more point to the tally.

Got to love it.
Fuck Ziggler.
Fuck the Fiend.
They'll jump ship and fuck up AEW's Casino Battle Royale too.
Burn it all down.
deadweight ziggler getting dumped out of the ring by the legendary duo is an all time great gif
By the way, great job on the carnies Avengers23

I'm very tempted by that Lion's Break show in Tampa but every other one of those has been like an hour long. Are they really gonna charge people those prices and show up for an hour at this one
Maybe I need to enter the avatar rumble and ensure that you don't have a choice!
He has been the subject of a wreddit thread every week for basically 5 years, he's even done interviews for years saying he wanted to get into wrestling.
Neat. Thanks for the fact check. I wish him the best of luck. Hope he works hard and finds his identity out there when he performs. Its exciting but extremely nerve racking to be so new. Can't imagine what its like to have a family history like his preceding every action you make in the business. Its gonna make it very hard for him. Both on what they expect of him and what some toxic folks may think of him. Hoping anyone who works him on the mic is respectful enough to know how to stay off certain smack talk in a shoot.
Oh, I have no faith in this...wrestlers are going to be wrestlers. To get over they'll do anything, hell, we even have someone as thoughtful and respectful as Owens having used the hard R in a promo once upon a time while working bad indies.
I was educated by the kind folks on the off-brand wrasslin thread that keep in mind the last year's rankings are on there, and also that "reset" is misleading - we should view it more as a "season"
Which I wish AEW would call it a season, but that's tough to do when you don't have seasons, and people work all year, etc.
Oh, I didn't know this. Elias re-signed (not resigned) with WWE for multiple years.
Honestly, that's a good gig - encouraged to stay in ridiculous shape, paid for learning guitar, and travel the world...

This article is from 2014!!
It just feels like the David Benoit thing is him trying to rebrand and get clicks again. He claims WWE said they would be interested him as far back as 2010. He enrolled in Lance Storm's school and never showed up. He got booked to wrestle at a Hart Legacy show while still untrained and then pulled out at the last second because Chris Jericho told him to.
Not that he's a bad guy or anything, but when we are on a full decade of newz sites saying that he's starting his wrestling career and fans being weirdly excited for it and then it never happens, it just strikes me as odd. Just like WWE fans obsessing over whether WWE will mention Benoit.
his traps are world class. We should go with a build-a-wrassler poll, etc again.

Best Traps

Best Bis and Tris

Build the ultimate body.
Don't give him a live mic.
And for anyone who wants to get into Stardom:
So the ranking is a weighted seeding thing based on prior years record? Like it gives a point or so per so many wins and takes so many losses to lose a rank initially in the next year?
Yeah, people can chill out with the ratings stuff for a while. AEW has a long-term relationship with TNT now.
Uh, who knows how long that'll happen, I really don't know. I think that's overcomplicating it, but they're not exactly...ehh.
psh, any opportunity to celebrate a victory over WWE is going to happen for years
If that's what Cody was excited about, fair play to him.
Nah, it just weights the last however many matches higher, like an MMA ranking does. Also, the quality of your opponent matters. So a win in October is worth less than a win last week, and a win against a complete nobody in a squash is worth less than a loss in a closely fought fight with the champ. They aren't a league table which seems to be the biggest misconception.
People sure love talking about them. Coming at this from having followed MMA for a while, they seem to work exactly the same way UFC do their rankings, so all the poking and prodding at them continues to strike me as strange.
There are so many lower-card wrestlers- Kip Sabien, Sonny Kiss, QT Marshall, etc- that I think have made 1 or less appearences on Dynamite, and a 3rd hour of TV (and maybe even a 4th if Dark continues) will help them get more people on TV. Wouldn't be surprised if this also is just "AEW Dark as we know it is dead, it's nowjust on TV" though.
Wonder how much money they ended up getting- pretty sure Meltzer will have the numbers at some point. They were mostly just getting TV costs covered before, wonder if they are getting real money now

AEW DARK COLLECTIVE SUNDAY NIGHTS AT 10. ALL BRANDI ALL THE TIME!
Ok sorry that's cruel. I'll stop
They really don't need another 2 hour show though. Or even another hour. They're gonna run through their roster quick
WCW did fine with Thunder
wait no they didn't! Shit!
I'm fine if it's a WCW Saturday Night addition. Shit that's just on.
