He's totally lost on Women's Wrestling reported after Casey Michael got sick and Square Circle Sirens went on hiatus. If you trusted Meltzer Tessa Blanchard would be in NXT.

PeteF3 Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 You're the one who said Meltzer "fucked this up," so I figured I'd ask you instead. But you don't want to actually answer questions or elaborate, which seems to be your usual act after you say something provocative. News is not subject to copyright and nobody "owns" it. Meltzer could do a better job of naming sources or even saying, "according to a source close to the situation," that's been discussed, but he's not under any obligation to do so.

He went by Tony Khan's Twitter follows and made an assumption. Or someone emailed him the same and he blindly posted without fact-checking.

PeteF3 Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 How do you know that's what happened? Or should I say, that's *all* that happened?

I knew about it as that class contained friends and I was over the moon they were being treated like they should. Nor is AEW being real. Two dozen indie talents have been under monthly holding contracts for a while. Despite your first post the dogs on the street knew this for a good while.

Badlittlekitten Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 Haha. It's sad to see what a wasteland this forum has become the last few years. Anyway good luck to AEW .

El-P Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 More Twitter feud/followers nonsense. Like I said before... As far as Britt Baker goes, that super well known professional wrestler, she's certainly the one of the three I don't remember from the All In match. She ain't got a Wiki page either apparently (shit, *I*'ve got a wiki page). So there, I think it's perfectly fine to not know who the fuck she is yet. Anyway, this thread is sad.

Rovert is a delusional fantasist with imaginary wrestler friends and scoops Bix can vouch for me. I don't why some of you guys are put out by this. It is 2019. Fans and wrestlers/promoters do actually talk now. And yes I've broken major news stories you can throw temper tantrums all day but it is true. 1 hour ago, El-P said: More Twitter feud/followers nonsense. Like I said before...

Never said she was a super well known professional wrestler. No need to throw your toy out of your pram. If you are following current Wrestling and to the level, you are posting on a forum about it you probably should at least recognise her name. She has wrestled for pretty much every big budget indie in the US and has wrestled on ROH TV before Christmas. And All In was the test show for AEW. You should have at least connected the dots on why she might be on board so early with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 This has been an unmitigated disaster. I say we just close this thread and just never speak of this company again.

It all started when sek69 completely overstated the Les Moore thing as bix pointed out. Meltzer has done consultancy work before whether it be WWF a million years or by his own admission for MMA companies in more recent times. More than willing to talk about the actual topic. It is really interesting and I know a fair amount about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but not everybody that is a pro-wrestling fan follows "big budget indies" nor ROH. I follow whatever the fuck I want, basically. Hell, I used to get shit for That Indian Guy, before it became a running gag, because I had not followed enough WWE to recognize who the fuck he was (and I guess I was right not to recognize him, as his existence would have been better off ignored in the following months). Not recognizing the name of some indy worker who was the lesser known of the woman match at All In doesn't warrant a "Why do you even post in that thread ?" rude answer to someone who just ask about someone whose name he doesn't know. Anyway, the whole thread basically displays a bunch of Twitter egos playing "who's got the most followers", and this is exactly why Twitter is a disease. WCW redux ? I'm all in.

JHawk Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 So did Britt sign or didn't she since rovert never has actually answered that question? FWIW Britt retweeted the Double or Nothing logo on New Year's Day. Doesn't confirm she has signed, but you don't see most wrestlers tweeting logos for shows/companies they don't intend to work for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
