Hope she does well. She was the victim of poor timing I think. I think they were just about to start pushing her big when she had a long term injury.

C.S. Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 AEW should sign any and every woman it can get its hands on - when it's able to - because the AEW women's division is absolutely abysmal. Ember Moon, Sarah Logan, and Maria (as a manager) would be an immediate shot in the arm. I don't think AEW as a rule should be stacking its roster with WWE castoffs, but when it comes to the women and tag divisions, the more the merrier IMO.

Loss Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 I haven't seen Lana's name anywhere and I think she signed a new 5-year deal only about six months ago. I wonder what's happening there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KawadaSmile Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 Maria and Mike are 100% that ball crushing meme. AEW can work around that more tastefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way Mike Bennett was treated by WWE I'm chuffed he was released. Beats his addictions, wants to leave as he was miserable and was made to stay.

C.S. Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 Honestly, the best thing for Mike - maybe not personally, but certainly professionally - would be for him and Maria to get signed to different companies. He really needs to break out of her shadow, radically reinvent himself, and become a star in his own right. I mean, it's possible. TNA fans loved The Miracle, didn't they?

Jmare007 Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 The Lana thing is at least consistent with the belief Vince/Dunn/Whoever has been hell bent on breaking her up with Rusev IRL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ButchReedMark Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 Shit. I just thought about Rusev on NWA if it survives and they can afford him. I won't be able to sleep on my stomach tonight lads, as my cock can cut diamonds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like Mickie's real value is to be a veteran hand who can work house shows with younger wrestlers who need ring time. With the major companies doing that less and less, I wonder if those opportunities are sadly going to shrink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't even begin to imagine US companies doing that without backstabbing each other before they even get in the door. That annoyed me to be honest. We are about 10 days to two weeks into the rapid spread of the virus and we're pretty much walking a knife's edge over whether there will be an explosive outbreak like New York. We're under a State of Emergency where we're supposed to refrain from nonessential activities. I have no idea what these wrestlers are hoping to achieve wasting the government's time and taxpayer's money posing for group photos. Nobody in Japan considers pro-wrestling to be the backbone of sports or the anchor of the entertainment world. I know they want to get paid, but a testing kit for each wrestler? There's barely any testing kits for the general populace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SANZAR is basically bankrupt so the Lions are playing a game at home against NZ in 2021 before we go on tour to support the All Black's. Although, I'll say this, NZ has had the best response of any country to the virus. Australian rugby will die I think. It's been struggling anyway.

DMJ Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 Shit like this makes me think that maybe I underrate Seth Rollins and that he is secretly a great heel. And then I see him "in character" on RAW or PPV and realize, no, he's only accidentally a great heel IRL and that, when he's "in character," he's just flat-out boring.
