The Wrestling Thread has much larger nipples

[DarthSkywalker]

I guess I've blocked most of the Pandemic Era WWE out of my mind.

That's fair. Especially as it felt like 2 months and 2 years at the same time.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Glad to see the positive reviews for AEW’s pay per view.

If Bray Wyatt shows up at their Queens taping for Dynamite later in the month, they can really form Voltron then.

Does he not have a 90 day?

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

Does he not have a 90 day?

Oh yeah. Dammit.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Oh yeah. Dammit.

Either way, he'll be there soon. I am so curious what his gimmick will be. I do wonder if he will take over the Dark Order. If there is one guy...

 

[Dr. Evil]

To be fair, the NXT UK Championship match at the last Takeover was fantastic.

To be fair, the NXT UK Championship match at the last Takeover was fantastic.

It's my match of the year and one of my all time favorite already. It's too bad NXT is about to be completely ruined by Vince.

I do hope that Ring of Honor can join the Forbidden Door. I would not mind seeing Jay Lethal, Dalton Castle, PCO, Tracy Williams, Brody King, EC3, Dragon Lee, Rush, Flamita, Jonathan Gresham, The Briscoes, Kenny King, Mike Bennett and PJ Black. It could be similar to what they have with Impact, NWA and New Japan. Have all of these wrestlers pop up in AEW every once in a while.....and of course Danhausen.

That would be sweet, rip the Forbidden Door to pieces we dont need it anymore.
Open it up for everybody because Wrestling shouldnt have any boundaries.

A few hours sleep but i couldnt really rest.
All Out was magic, worth every cent and every second.
Wrestling at its finest, so much love and passion that you feel it even as fan in every fiber of your body.
I felt like a kid again for the first time in a long time when it came to wrestling.
I couldnt sit still and was hanging onto every second of it.
I didnt do any live tweeting or so because i felt like i miss something.

Never thought that would happen to me ever again, but i could feel my blood rushing when the matches got hotter and hotter, when Ruby came out i screamed, i was on the edge of my seat.

Maybe im a bit overly emotional needing sleep and all to digest, but i fell in love with wrestling all over again.

I've talked a lot of crap about AEW, but that PPV was great! And now I just have to watch it every week because of Punk and Bryan... so I guess AEW won me over.

 

[vantheman77]

Now that they have CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, and Adam Cole there should be no excuse for AEW Dynamite to be in the million range on a weekly basis and booking them right.

I agree that AEW can’t sign everyone as there is TNA Impact, ROH, MLW, NWA, and New Japan Strong. When Impact does Bound For Glory next month, we may see people from these other promotions appear.

 

[Karelia]

I was kinda hoping Matt Cardona showed up during Moxley's match, since he just took the belt from him in GCW the other night. I've been loving Cardona in GCW. Maybe down the road he will pop up.

 

[javonstokess]

I wish Zelina Vega went to AEW. She's being wasted in WWE.

 

[TheFuture]

AEW's talent grab from WWE is not a concern for me as I just see it a necessary sweep in this current time. Once Bray is signed they'll have cultivated a roster that will see them through for years, all the while having their own training system set up that produce the likes of Powerhouse Hobbs.

Adam Cole stole the show I think. The way he came out you'd swear he was always there, he's just "home".

For whatever reason, both ROH and MLW have chosen not to join the Forbidden Door.

 

[TheFuture]

For whatever reason, both ROH and MLW have chosen not to join the Forbidden Door.

I think ROH and MLW are probably wondering what the long term gain would be for them.

I mean you can clearly see what Impact, GCW and New Japan get from their agreement with AEW, but I don't know if it's in the interest of ROH/MLW to make their stars available for a job in other companies. That concern probably outweighs any benefit they would get from talent sharing.

Essentially it comes down to wanting to protect their own talent for the plans they have in mind.

My only thing is, I just hope they don’t fall into that WCW pit where they sign all these ex-WWE stars, focus too much on them and forget the homegrown talent that they have.

They’re getting much needed eyes on them with Punk, Danielson and Cole, but I just hope they keep their focus.

Oh I have faith that they'll continue to focus on the likes of Jungle Boy, Darby Allin, MJF and Hangman. Even with likes of Punk and Danielson I think long term they'll be happy to take the pin to put these guys over.

My only issue last night is Thunder Rosa continues to be used as the also ran, this time at the expense of putting Ruby over.....BUT, I know it's just of matter of time for Thunder and Tony has big plans for her.

For me Thunder is still the person to beat Britt and Hangman is the person to beat Omega. If the new signings change that then I'll be unhappy, but I don't think those plans will change.

To play devil's advocate on Tony signing more WWE guys, having a big roster in itself is not an issue as it allows for always a fresh card on Dynamite while using Rampage and Dark to ensure no one is forgotten. That's actually the criminal thing about WWE's talent hording over the past few years; they just had no reason to be giving us the same match on Raw 4 weeks plus in a row.

 

[Dr. Evil]

The Forbidden Door also allows AEW to use a lot more people without signing them, like the Good Brothers and Suzuki

 

[Calvin Ellis]

I'm just hoping that with all these signings that Sammi doesn't get pushed to the background. He is one of my favorites in AEW.

 

[TheFuture]

Sammy I'm still unsure on. Still seems quite young and immature.

I'd be more confident in Ricky Starks outdoing him in their respective careers which is ironic given they tried out for WWE at the same time, but it was Sammy who ended up with the handier start (AEW as opposed to NWA).

 

[vantheman77]

I was wondering who was not part of the Forbidden Door crossover. Impact has mended fences with ROH as Chelsea Green does both companies and NWA.

It took Impact and AEW to make the Forbidden Door to happen, now other companies have followed suit such as NWA, New Japan, and AAA. I wonder if there's still heat between ROH and AEW.

MLW and ROH are not a part of it.

I'm at Raw tonight. Hoping for a fun show.
