When IMPACT does comedy they do it really. Enjoyed the fun half of the Wedding this week a lot. Interested how IMPACT changes now it is an on a real station again. This era had some "no one is really watching" goofing off particularly the commentary. Not entirely sure something like the hanging of Su Yung will fly on AXS and with their advertisers. Wait and see I guess.
-
Su is genuinely regarded as a nice person and very fan-friendly. But there's a reason why NXT never signed or even used for enhancement matches despite how local she is/was, how many live events and TVs she attended. Was seen after hours in the Orlando area too much.
-
Bix owns. Rich and Su come from terrible upbringings. Certainly not an ideal situation. It is just how life is for them and they will likely be together forever. From the night it happened I posted that if anything Su is the aggressor in the relationship especially when drunk and that Rich was just trying to save her from running into traffic. Eventually, a lot of people came around to the fact that what I said was accurate as time went on.

I can understand this tact but you should and ultimately will. As I said let this one fully play out. Please trust me. Her former AEW colleagues believed that was the case too. Tonight she broke down and cried in the ring tonight. Kylie has gone through a lot this Summer.

Enjoyed your post Thread Killer. Velveteen Dream entered the match with Roddy with a back/lumbar injury and it got worse during the match. I hope that isn't a sign of his body breaking down already. -

The Wrestling Features account is doing the positive Wrestling fan grift. A popular one and an easy way to gain followers. -
Between the Sheets - Chronologically
rovert replied to TravJ1979's topic in Publications and Podcasts
Yeah, I thought Fray was very good, to be honest, and I don't see what was there to criticise about it. I remember when the episode was released and someone said he was in gimmick when amusingly he wasn't and on his best behaviour. -
It is still worth looking into.
-
No one asked. Instead ELP just decided to bad faith troll and derail the thread. This afternoon could have been a lot more productive if he didn't. Anyway Cody himself this weekend at Starrcast admitted that "I have a terrible temper, my texting etiquette is terrible,..." https://www.fightful.com/wrestling/starrcast-iii-recap-cody-rhodes-undesirable-undeniable

Sorry for the inconsistent language. But there's not much difference between the two things is there? If there is I'll freely correct the matter and edit the post for clarity. Just seems like needless knit picking to me.
-
For the nth time, I haven't implied anything or have dropped hints. This is like talking to a wall. I just think it would be helpful for Wrestling journalists to assess whether AEW has a bullying culture. That's it. Often when a woman abruptly leaves a Wrestling company bullying was involved. A half dozen female wrestlers were bullied out of ROH in the last few years for example.
-
How am I behind? Mostly this has been dweebs implying things I've never said in bad faith and/or making up positions I never shared. I am not doing a "I'm not saying, just saying" act either simply the conversation got bogged down by trolls Everyone you are listing are entirely different situations and contexts. Neither were put on medical leave. Neither went 2-3 weeks in complete radio silence in 2019. Neither had their trainer on his (Booker T) radio show said they couldn't handle the pressure of being a star. Something dramatically changed with Kylie. Possible bullying is an honest line of enquiry in my opinion. Please don't imply anything from this post and quote me directly if you are responding to me.
-
As it should be attempted to be ruled out given the circumstances and in my knowledge of the situation in my opinion. Also Cody and Tony are known for their tempers and there was a backstage fight between two women at All Out. You can disagree that's fine.
-
As Meltzer can be lazy, favourable and easily lead by sources and those he likes. It doesn't have to be this mass cover up. Also what hammerva posted above. Stop implying and just ask straight questions or just read what I wrote again: Where's the wondering here exactly? I haven't backed away from my statements. I reposted part of the original one. You creating narratives out of thin air here. I stand by everything I said. This thread would be improved by quoting me directly instead of bad faith implying and inventing quotes and positions I've never shared.
-
As EL-P has admitted to bad faith posting and continues to do it. His latest is saying I said that Meltzer is covering up the Kylie Raw story. He obviously isn't quoting what I actually said in doing that for obvious reasons.
-
I should know what I said. Again you just trolled from the beginning here and weren't looking to have a discussion. You oddly skipped over hammerva's post.
-
I didn't say that though. If I did you could quote me and wouldn't need to resort completely making one up.
-
In the above post you say let me rephrase in another you deny that you ever have: Stop trolling and turning this topic into trash. At least you admit to doing that:
-
Hence the IF in "if there is a systemic bullying issue". It is clear you are just being difficult for the sake of it. Like you "joking", picking out innocent typos and whatever you are trying to accomplish with your "rephrasing" of my posts.
-
Firstly re-read my very first sentence. Also "if there is a systemic bullying issue" isn't implying anything.
-
It wasn't a joke though you were calling into question my knowledge of things. No matter what I say about the situation people will overly read into what I am saying. I broke the story of AEW departure and her retirement as I know a huge cross section of her friends who gave me the greenlight. A lot of her friends connected with me the 2-3 week period where she went from being a very outgoing friend to every locker room in the Country to complete radio silence and people really worried about her. And since then people have just been trading notes just hoping for the best. It was a sad time and still a sad time. Anyway, the Wrestling media should look into the circumstances behind her departure and if there's a systemic issue with bullying in the Company. That would be the automatic line of enquiry if I was a journalist. Obviously you have to balance that with Kylie's privacy and welfare. A lot of fans on social media to a maddening degree think you can't do both and are kinda shutting down anyone who says it should be looked into at all. Once Kylie is in a position to talk I hope she can talk and fans hear her story out. That could take years for all I know and we don't know what she signed to get her release that may prevent her from doing so. But back to what you said Meltzer's closeness to the Cody, Tony etc doesn't fill me in confidence that we will get more than three lines in the Observer about it.

Something to Wrestle with Bruce Prichard
rovert replied to Lust Hogan's topic in Publications and Podcasts
There was a decent topic on Wreddit about this topic. All three podcasts have become very generic and samey for sure. -
My original post posted a month prior was warning that there were moving parts in Tony going to WWE. The key one was his MLW contract which he ultimately couldn't get out of. Which is why he signed with AEW.
