I don't disagree with anything you are saying but Vegas's economy is a genuine issue. Inflation and a lot of price gouging. I know someone that's travelling over this year and it is triple the price of last year flight and hotel wise. Not really a Wrestling town anymore.
If you live in Canada you are going to Forbidden Door. European then Wembley.
In general, the show has nothing going for it so far.
It is more than likely he has done some kind of work on himself. Either via his wife's need and interest in therapy and/or AEW HR mandating some kind of anger management type training.
Obviously there's Wrestling politics motivations PR wise and selling yourself to AEW management, the locker room and the fans you are the reasonable one and capable of self reflection.
Been the biggest Lee fan since the Daily's Place/Pandemic era. He's so much early WCW Sting quality the upper body and the spring in his legs.
But promos, charisma/crowd appeals lack so much. Shyness based. But he has astonishing potential.
There's a lot of noise and who to believe currently. Headspinning.
But the work a day roster and maybe more importantly the production, office, logistics (ring trucks) who have families and obligations are incredibly loyal to the Bucks as they started it all.
THANK YOU.
I didn't what I was reading the last few posts. Everything said and done completely forgotten. Including his excellent book and even better audiobook.
It has been REALLY clear who has and hasn't listened to full podcast based by the reactions.
Wade Keller got the minute by minutes. The last three minutes of the Omega/Vikingo match was the best rated thing on the show.
FTR's entrance and Adam Cole's interview where among the best rated things on the show. Althought Cole's interview tapered off (blame Garcia ha!).
The Four Pillars video package was the worst performing thing. Why AEW don't do video packages.
I always liked L.A. Knight. Every criticism comes down to he is does things that are popular and over with the crowd in PROFRESSIONAL Wrestling. What a crime?
What has always sank him when in orbit of WWE is having a star mentality - pushy, forceful etc. Instead of doing the Bruce Prichard to Vince "what if we do this instead" routine.
Knight apparently got a huge babyface reaction at MSG last weekend. Things have changed in WWE. But the Garden is still the Garden.
The true challenge for Knight for is cutting THAT promo that truly connects with the fanbase. That escapes he's just doing a Austin/Rock impression criticism.
I think it is Taya almost 100%.
There's so many people that matter in Pro Wrestling who think the World of Nicole and rightfully. I am sure she'll get a shot somewhere. Was very kind to the Britts and Deonnas of the World when they first started. I've no idea what her intentions are in 2023 Pro Wrestling wise but she's 36 and has a very good, pensionable job.
Taya is a good person to pair up with Jade size wise at least and a "name". I assume Taya ends up in The Outcasts ultimately if AEW signs her as Saraya advocated for AEW to sign her about a month ago on Twitter.
I more than assume AEW are just killing time on Jade until Statlander comes back. TK sticks with his booking and his people very faithfully.
Pretty much everything MJF does publicly is a work.
When is Tequila a clear liquid and sold in large cups from parent occupying a child? A child wearing a hoodie while hooded.
The source of the Tequila thing is Alvarez and Meltzer not exactly drinkers either. Meltzer initially said it was Vodka.
I guess you think the plane ticket was real too?
