Jmare007 Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 Yeah, I'm with Tony on this one. Even Ian Rappaport fell for it when the only thing he needed to do was read the filing. Lazy ass reporting like that deserves to be clowned and trolled at, every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoS Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 Oh I am not saying he tweeted anything inappropriate. In fact I quite liked the Gilbert-Rich reference. That's what made me think of the DVDVR nerd thing, same as us DVDVR/PWO nerds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like TK, but the last thing we need are more celebs/pro wrestlers in politics stepping outside their lane to disastrous results (Donald Trump, Linda McMahon, most pro wrestlers who become politicians).

El-P Posted February 13, 2022 Report Share Posted February 13, 2022 So, WWE doesn't want anyone with indy experience, because being a pro-wrestler is not a good thing to become a WWE Superstar (and influencing the world). Meanwhile... See you in 10 years... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NintendoLogic Posted February 13, 2022 Report Share Posted February 13, 2022 Whoever got this kid pulled from the GCW show by stooging on them to the athletic commission inadvertently did him a huge favor by raising his profile. There's no way this would have happened if he had worked the show and appeared in a throwaway multi-man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outsider Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 Lee Moriorty? Great in ring, but it means nothing if you don't have charisma. He's young so he has time.  Anyway soneone mentioned loosely scripted. What do ppl love about WCW or classic wrestling from 80s? It's that feeling that anything can happen. Pre-WCW gets allot of shit...but I enjoy that feeling that anything might happen, Vader might lay-in to Flair at SuperBrawl and Flair had to fight back after Harley told Flair he was embarrassed his self.  AEW is getting off track, and giving the wrong guys the push. MJF has his fans in the wrestling media types for various reasons, but he's not a star I'm my opinion. Maybe a glorified manager. The greatest heels took their losses to satisfy the fans. When they put him over every match It's simply stupid. It makes his opponents look weak. I hate it when these writers say he's an old school heel. Far from it. FTR gets it. They can lose matches, but never lose steam. Same with Baker. She lost the match that really made her. Don't know what is up with Tessa, but if she ran into the ring face to face with Britt, that would be "box-office." Inner Circle was the draw that got me to buy a ticket to Dynamite, and I hope Santana and Ortiz get their TV time. I love Dylan's son. I mean Luke perry's son, but LAX should have the straps before Dyno & Dylan Jr. Deeb is a great asset to the company because she can help the women's division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 Man, I just don't get how one wouldn't see MJF as a star. A heel who tries to be despised (well outside of Long Island anyway) and not be the cool heel is fairly rare thing these days. For him to be able to put over folks, he has to be established as someone who would be a feather in the cap to beat. Now I can see the argument that he shouldn't have beat someone like Darby, but it's not like his wins were all clean either. As far as Tessa goes, in theory her vs Britt would be huge but there's a reason she's burned pretty much every bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NintendoLogic Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 MJF should never win clean except against dorks like the Varsity Blonds. All of his wins against top guys should be by cheating or fluke. A heel who can talk doesn't need to win a ton to keep his heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffey Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 I like MJF, and think he's a pretty good heel, but I don't see him as a top guy. Never have. For what it's worth, I don't see Hangman Page as a top guy either & he seems to be doing pretty well as champion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KawadaSmile Posted February 15, 2022 Report Share Posted February 15, 2022 Hope it's just a work because I have never been a fan of Cody's. Wayyyy too up his own ass.

Maybe he wants to get that NWA title back from Aldis, who will most probably get it back from Cardona sooner than later... (where's that Kappa emote again ?) Not gonna lie, whatever people think of him (and her), I'm gonna miss Cody in AEW. Brandi, well, she really never shined at all there apart from a few spots. I guess most of her valuable work was backstage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoS Posted February 15, 2022 Report Share Posted February 15, 2022 Boomer Murrican fans, is this how it felt experiencing the MNW in real time, times 10? I was a kid in India then, all I knew was that Steve Austin was the man, so I don't have perspective. If so, it's really fun. Can't imagine why some tribalistic fans get so annoyed at the mere idea of a viable alternative/competition existing, it makes things ten times more enjoyable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, of course all the guys signing TO AEW and the NXT debacle was already MNW-like, but this is the first time a major name from the hot new promotion is leaving. I asked the question a few months ago. My answer then would NOT have been Cody, although he hasn't jumped yet (but really now, what else is there to do for him in term of getting fat money ?). Yeah, it makes things more fun for everyone involved and better for the workers because of the opportunities. Even though I don't care one bit about the WWE product, I would certainly watch Cody & Brandi show up just for the fuck of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoS Posted February 15, 2022 Report Share Posted February 15, 2022 He'll definitely get *some* receipts cuz he took steroid digs at Roman when Roman was supended for adderall, but given how everything turned out, Vince might consider the sledgehammer throne thing with Hunter to be grabbing the brass ring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's more like Jeff Jarrett in 99 going back to Russo's WCW, honestly. Adam Cole showing up right after main-eventing Takeover was Lex Luger, plus AEW is the WCW of the times, the rising promotion challenging Vince, not the other way around. 1 minute ago, funkdoc said: this still smells like an attempted pillman-style work to me It would be a total masterwork if that was so.
