  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Why she's beside him so far?
  5. Bron, Melo, Waller and Theory too.
  6. Yep and there's market specific pent up demand things like not running Belfast in 4 years and San Juan in 2 years.
  7. 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.
  8. Nigel in a media interview 3 weeks ago said he would be open to one more match. His stance has softened.
  9. They are. Wade Keller's reporting is completely right. The top third bar one or two names.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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?
  15. Completely not the case. He's very hands on. He's producing matches in the ring on his knees and hands regularly.
  16. "Anyone can do that stuff in 2023." Who? Where? When? With links.
  17. NXT wise was one of those releases that was a correct assessment of a talent. Unable to pass further than this. And believe me people tried.
  18. MJF's technical wrestling matches with Jungle Boy and Darby Allin were excellent. What are you talking about it?
  19. It REALLY is. Ric Flair said the Jerry he knew would have commanded Jeff to show up for work. Between that and Mark Briscoe's waking up and still feeding chickens on the farm. Human beings are really robust and remarkable.
  20. Link to the Hangman Page statement (video - it exist) to prove you've ever heard it in context please? The most covered story of the last decade probably and you are still confused and stuck in September.
  21. "AEW is not long for this world." Is this Twitter? Citation needed.
  22. I assume you mean Saraya vs Hayter which sounds completely compelling in terms of a match where Saraya is skill, cardio and physically wise is unable for. And a women's Face of the Revolution Ladder Match featuring the debut of the ex-Sasha Banks. Lets shoot for the stars.
  23. Punk is much bigger star than Thunder Rosa. And Pro Wrestling is a star business. The criticisms of Thunder Rosa were valid and well founded. But only reached interpersonal, women's locker room levels. CM Punk jeopardised the company and made Tony look like a fool publicly.
  24. I am of the belief things have been worked out and business has been done when it comes with FTR and AEW. FTR were backstage at the Kentucky Dynamite (Jay's memorial show). Dax this week on his podcast took the blame about deterioration of his relationship with Tony Khan 2021-ish and (while protecting on-screen kayfabe) The Young Bucks and implied there's been a reconciliation recently. Dax put things down to the big issue he has with controlling his crippling anxiety. Just reading the tea leaves just on what Wrestlers and friends of CM Punk have been tweeting and Like-ing. There seems to be movement there. Also in the last week including a hint on Dax's podcast there's been talk going around that Edge would be interested in joining AEW after his WWE contract is up at the end of the year. Working with CM Punk again, making money off the The Elite drama, Edge is FTR's mentor and a FTR vs Edge & Christian match would be BIG reasons to stay for FTR you have to think. If someone is plagued with the anxiety issues that Dax has. Working for new and inexperienced owners and maybe with Vince still in the mix Creative wise that seems like a very negative situation in contrast.
