I dunno - considering how by the end of his title run it would probably be faster to list everything he hadn't injured, I can see him having aggravated literally any body part and it putting him out of action again. Kenny's talented, but stubborn and stupid enough to wrestle despite being held together by duct tape and a prayer.

If it's a work, at least they picked the right person to use for said work, but I can honestly see it being legit.

yeah I'm not saying it's impossible, but Jace had photos of himself in a hospital too

Why’d AJ, who’s looking in the best shape he’s ever been in, attack LA Knight?

I think it may tie into AJ was suppose to team with Cena before he was taken out and Knight took his spot. Also the camera briefly caught Knight shoving AJ aside prior to his attack on LA. We'll probably get some answers next week.

Damn, first news that WWE might knock AEW off TNT and now Kenny Omega is indefinitely injured. Someone do a welfare check on Tony.

Also Liv Morgan got arrested for being a degenerate pothead.

Who'd have thunk that of all things to force Kenny out the ring, it'd be Jericho cutting a horrible promo? Poor guy cringed himself into retirement. :story:

Should note that AEW might not be totally fucked.

One rumor floating around is that Discovery wants BOTH shows; under the logic that they want Discovery/TNT-TBS to become a major hub for wrestling and that having two feds (Raw and AEW programming) will generate a much needed steady stream of income for Discovery. So a Discovery deal for Raw may hinge on Hunter/Endeavor allowing AEW to continue to survive on TBS/TNT and maybe even working together on some super-cards down the line.

that wont happen. WWE is not interested in sharing and the goal will always be to be the only source for professional wrestling. if AEW gets fucked over and loses their contract it just means they will end up going back to doing shows online like what ROH does currently. at the end of the day professional wrestling on tv is dying out.

like it or not thats just the way things are and because of that WWE has a major advantage. they have years and years of proof that they can make money on tv and that is the type of stuff that will win over the network executives in the end. i do think it would be kind of crazy for warner-discovery to get rid of AEW though seeing as warner-discovery is already bleeding money non stop so paying WWE some huge amount just seems like a bad idea on their end.

Pretty sure the WWE has an exclusivity claus in their licensing agreement that states that they have to be the only sports entertainment program broadcast on a channel.

Don't quote me on that, I just remember reading about it in days past.

Not so much sports entertainment but the only wrestling show. Those sports style game shows were okay to air on the same channel, they just weren't on the same day.

Joy, the long dreaded day is upon us. Thunder Rosa will be returning to the ring after her fake injury so she can take a belt off of a more over talent. I hope the next person they get rid of is her. That bitch is more of a clot chaser than Phil and Jericho. At least Jericho tries to get people over but doesn't know when leave things well enough alone after that. Phil on the other hand just worms his way into things in the hopes he can get some backing. He's already been doing it in NXT with the talent there and it was the first thing he did in AEW. Thunder Rosa on the other hand just wants to get over by beating better talent because she thinks she's the best women's wrestler in the world. I wouldn't even place her in the top 100.

Even if they prefer to have one, it's not like there's anything keeping a possible network from saying "okay, go find another network" if the new ownership has the same concerns.

I doubt TurnerMaxDiscovWhatever is THAT passionate about the upside for wrasslin, but if they say "we show both or fuck you" there isn't a lot WWE could do if they haven't igned yet
 
Every time without fail, wrestlers are told that their wrestling style is unsustainable and dangerous in the long term.

Every time without fail, wrestlers will laugh and explain that "they're build differently" and what they're doing is obviously safe

Every time without fail, wrestlers will end up retiring with major issues that could have been avoided by slowing the fuck down.

This doesn't just relate to Kenny, Danielson, Page etc. but even guys like Big E had his retarded apron spear that was bound to fuck up eventually. That Miz promo years back where he went off on Daniel Bryan just ages like a fine wine, because these fuckers aren't even saving risky and dangerous moves for the PPVs, they're dropping them on Dynamite's and Collisions and random indie shows watched by 50 people.

This shit has to stop, and someone needs to be in charge of the shows beforehand going "if you try and do anything dangerous you're fired". Part of me is genuinely wondering if some of the indie shitters are trying to go all out in the hopes they pick up a nasty injury and can start a class action against AEW down the line (as good fucking luck trying to extract money from some mudshow promotion held together with sticky tape) in the same way those ECW guys went after WWE after their brief stint instead of going after Heyman directly.

I think some of it is the USA/Canada indy style apeing the highspots out of Mexico and trying to do those in a vacuum from the rest of lucha style, the rolling bumps and trios matches in particular.
 
I don't get this mindset in general. Imagine someone like Ronaldo would be "Fuck it, I do this bicycle kick and when I have to break my neck to do it". In no other sport the athletes are "Fuck my body, broken bones are cool". Everybody is trying to stay healthy as long as possible so they can go as long as possible and win stuff and earn money and meanwhile FTR baldy posts pictures on Twitter wondering what the other passangers on the plane are thinking of his visible injuries and bruises.

Wrestlers are really a special sort of retards.

I’ll keep saying it - Wrestling is a business stuffed to the gils with untapped Lolcows. They just had the benefit of having the perfect audience that just rolls with the lolcowdom, that it takes something proper Big breaking Mainstream to draw attention to the fact.

I’d be willing to bet if it wasn’t for Wrestling, a fair number of these dipshits would have Threads in the PG if nothing else, to say less of the Proper Wrestling Lolcows.

I don't see how "Lolcows are people (...) whose eccentric or foolish behavior can be "milked" for amusement and laughs." doesn't fit.
