I mean if Omega is going to AEW.
They have an in on that side given that he actually knows joshi from multiple promotions.
Still Mayu and Aja? Come one AEW, ypu gotta be smarter than that.
How can they recruit joshi wrestlers when Christopher Daniels is there, standing and disapproving because they've disrespected him?
WWE's going to end up with so many different shows, so many hours of content, so many co-opted partners that at some point some of it has to end up being a drastic departure from the typical WWE style and approach, right? It can't all just be different shades of the same shit, surely? NXT Japan, NXT Mexico, NXT India, NXT China, but they'll all feel just as soulless if NXT UK's anything to go by. What a fuckin shame.
That's the problem with having the same people in charge for a long ass time; they only know how to do things a certain way and have a hard time innovating.
If only Vince and others would be as receptive to their product as they are in their multimedia strategy and products divisions.
Everybody wants to be the McDonald's of something.
Chris Jericho's making his case to be the modern day Terry Funk or Misawa. Brother went to NJPW and found himself again, now he's putting on 5-star clinics again instead of screaming rooty tooty booty on 205 Live or some shit.
Mock him if you want, but his legacy has skyrocketed without WWE.

When is SD going to air in FOX? At this point I feel that is the only thing that I feel could actually shake up things in the company.
Also, regarding meltzer ratings, this is the first time that I truly feel like the "tokyo dome multiplier" meme was real, personally, the heavyweight tag match and the ishii vs sabre matches didn't were 4 stars matches for me, at least I really hated that dumb spot when Ishii did a suplex on the corner to sabre jr, only for him not sell it, do a submission, and then sell the thing, it really ruined the match for me and it was almost as bad as that superplex gif of Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards.
The 3 main events were great, and the Ibushi vs Ospreay match too, so overall it was a good event at least

She's pretty good and she's what? 18.
That's a lot of upside.
Yes
And if they don't announce that it's his last Mania match I can see him fighting in 2020 too
I did sit down and watch the "Botch Club" episode with Gallows and Anderson and I liked it more than botchamania, tbh.
It won't show all the good stuff, of course, but I definitely liked not having shitty 8-bit remixes and bad advertisements on it. Big step up

Stumbled across this Very Cool video, especially targeted toward BritishMonsoon
Really good quality footage. I like it.

Lol the Rock has such a dumb boomer brain. He is a few more Baywatch failures from making car selfie videos promoting Jordan Peterson lectures.
Awesome find, not sure if I've seen this before - love any early Andre footage, most people don't have an appreciation for just how strong and athletic he was in his prime. Stomper wasn't exactly a small guy, but Andre lifts him using only his neck like it's nothing!
Great shots of the crowd as well, back when wrestling used to be a properly family outing.
That's why Hana is gonna tell the Bucks to bury her softly, brother.
Look at this goddamn show;
Dan freaking Severn vs Alexander Otsuka, James Mason vs Minoru Tanaka?! Hope this makes tape somewhere, even if I have to import the DVD.

Ronda about hate her 3rd Horsewoman. Now it's just a matter of what Bayley does to make her mad.
He's kind of becoming like an L.A. Park style hardcore brawler too which is never something I thought I would hear.
Sadie has such amazing strength and athleticism. Hopefully she'll be able to work a few years on the indie scene before she's consumed by the WWE/AEW machine.
I'm hoping someone can make that match happen. It's unlikely as hell but would be a fun time
It's so odd he had that stinker with AJ at Mania.
Maybe that's when he figured out he had to do something different because I love dad bod brawler Jericho.
LA Park is MLW affliated in the US right?
Cos if not :eyes: at AEW.
A Twitter take on this I really liked:
And MLW has been booking Park but he's not exclusive or anything
LA Park is affiliated only to money. If AEW makes the right offer he'll work with Hornswoggle.
Lot of people don't know how much of a turd Rock has been.
There was pushback when he cameback and made those lame gay jokes on the New Day and people commented on how dated his act is but I'm supprise he left that more unscathed than I thought he should have.
It also goes to kind of big issue I have with people's expectations out of AEW and what they want out of WWE. The Monday Night Wars was full of offensive shit done by terrible people. The wrestling was pretty mediocre as well. Why not inspire your programming to be better instead of hoping for a nostalgic vision of wrestling that never actually existed.
The #STRONGHEARTS thing happening makes me hope that the AEW folks are smart enough to bring him in for something.
That's a pretty good take on it alright. WWE want people to look for very certain things from performers in ring so it's "just like I remember, I got to see Superstar X do his move!!"
To be honest like a few who I see so far on the first page as I'm going through agree to a degree with what he's saying.
