Hurt Syndicate rumors heating up again.

View attachment 7742542

I am almost inclined to believe it because yes, modern wrestling has been really retarded with stories not just AEW, but the way MJF joined the group and nothing came of it and then he left the group and nothing has come of it either that’s one big work and this is part of that work or they just rushed to take him out so that they could finish up the Hurt Syndicate and release them. They did this when William Regal wanted to leave. Instead of having some good idea to at least finish up the story and then let him leave. They just sort of frantically flailed their arms on live television had him leave the group like four separate times and then he was gone.

It also seems that the WWE failures who crawl to AEW are always only willing to put over WWE guys which would explain Edge randomly partnering with the heel Hurt Syndicate to start a program of Hurt Syndicate vs The Revival and Revival can win the tag tournament and HS can lose to them because they’re former WWE guys so yay!

Maybe this is why out of nowhere dorks like Joey Janela were on Twitter talking about how Mike Bailey is legit and could kick Bobby's ass.

Because when I think of "legit" guys in wrestling, Joey "I got my ass beat by a fan and needed the rest of the GCW shitters to save me" Janela is a guy I will take on his word. :story:

At the very least they seem open to the idea to put over younger talent, so I think their intentions are in the right place, but is awful that they decided to become primadonnas because of this. Is not like the AEW Tag Team titles are something special anymore.

I dunno, I side with MVP, ignorant niggatry aside he wants to try and protect what's left of Shelton and Lashley's cred.

I'm not saying they deserve a Goldberg-style streak that takes over a year to break, but if Tony is trying to tell me Mike fuckass Bailey can take on Shelton Benjamin, much less Lashley, he can suck my balls. The constant botches whenever that faggot tries to get his shit in only makes it worse.
 
Another case of TK can't book logical storylines. This like if 205 live guys would go over in the Hurt Syndicate in WWE. It makes no sense and makes everyone involved look retarded.

It's funny how dirtsheets can get so much information about AEW. Talent there are like a screen door on a submarine.

You know what, its not even the size disparity. That's part of the issue, but that can be overcome. Where the fuck are the road agents in AEW? Where are the vets to explain how to properly sell a wrestling match as a real fight? I can buy Speedball beating Shelton, but you have to show me how it would go down in a logical and narratively satisfying manner. When people wrestle Big Show, what do they immediately do? They almost ALWAYS go for the legs to try and cut him down, because if you were in a fight with a guy that big and you weren't allowed to just kick him in the nuts, going for the legs is the logical route that the audience can immediately understand. Speedball has the potential to be an improved Jungle Boy, a white meat fight from beneath babyface that the audience can get behind, but no, Speedball is a blackbelt, so he needs to be a badass despite not looking convincing in the roll.

I mean, it’s not exactly a secret. Dave has literally talked about being on the phone with Tony late at night. That’s not a theory or anything they just openly talk to each other.

forbidden door hasn’t happened yet and FTR are still in the tournament so maybe something has changed and they’re willing to lose to them now, but either time it’d have been heels beating them so it’s odd.

Someone in AEW being like why are you doing cool moves when you’re a heel is fucking crazy. Mercedes is a heel and goes out to try and have whatever she thinks is a five star match every single time. Omega never wrestles different heel or face. The bucks never wrestle different. This is fucking absurd. No heels in AEW wrestle any different.

While MVP has been an absolute shitlord in terms of calling every booking desicion he doesnt like as Racist I can’t say I’d blame anyone even him for disliking TK, Lashley should’ve been a bigger deal than what he was given as material, the guy who had a shitty bar mitzvah segment joining the Hurt Business makes no fucking sense at least Owen being in the Nation of Domination was kind of funny, MJF trying to use Lashley and Shelton as golems is not

Is anyone surprised. MVP thought going somewhere else that would take his ideas would’ve been good thing only to nig it all up. Yeah and Triple H was the problem not him being an asshole. You’ll see sooner rather than later he’ll cause a massive shit storm there.
 
WWEs PLEs are moving to ESPNs $30 a month direct-to-consumer platform for the next 5 years.

Pretty much a tripling of the price but you get other ESPN stuff as well.

Most retarded thing WWE has done in awhile, assuming it’s the same internationally and I can’t use vpn it on Netflix id just have to stop watching
EDIT: looks like it’s a US-only thing so looks I’ll be LARPing as the Mountie still absolutely fucktarded
 
Looks like AEW will be forced to litigate in the Michigan State Circuit Court, and Christopher Dispensa is unwilling to settle out of court. It’s going to be a hilarious trial. We will get to see Jon Moxley explain why he’s a dumbass and shoved a contracted worker into a barricade for no reason.

I'm not going to defend this move here because it sucks for fans in the US, but I mean, they almost doubled what Peacock was paying them, so I can't really say it's retarded either.

The move the Netflix here in Canada has been great for me because I already had Netflix for my kids anyway.

I miss the days when shows were just in one timeslot on a single Network for a long time. Raw was on TSN here in Canada for 15+ years before Rogers hoovered up all the rights. Nowadays every time a contract for broadcast rights is up, god knows where everything will end up.

seems like ESPN are just being the biggest Kikes imaginable, I had just bummed off my Brother in Law's Peacock but I certainly couldve paid for it, and even though I could have also paid for ESPN on principle I wouldn't pay for that either, even Normalfags on Xitter were discussing VPNs and redpilling each other on it which is a good sign, and even putting the money aside ESPN is not a very good spot for it anyway as a lot of Sports Normalfags hate wrestling

That's funny, I had written the exact same thing in my post, but deleted it before I posted. I hate this game we all play were we pretend wrestling and mainstream sports have this big crossover audience.
 
Growing up during the Attitude Era I never saw a single PPV event (not counting the one summer my mom found a friend who had a cable descrambler). We weren’t poor my parents would have kicked me or my siblings ass if they saw a PPV on their monthly bill.

WWE Network and the switch to PLE got me back into wrestling because it was cool to see WrestleMania and everything else live which was a childhood dream as a result. Now they expect me to pay the premiums my parents told me to reject? You’re kidding fuck that.

I was even okay that Raw & Smackdown are shit now because any great match is going to be on the PLEs. Not anymore they better start putting some thought into the normal cable show or I can go back to not watching new wrestling again I’m happy with the WWE Vault that channel has my favorite wrestlers and it’s free.

Fuck ESPN, ESPN is for lonely dads who can’t get out of the house. I am so tired of having to see those stupid old talking heads on ESPN when they should just be playing sports.

kek is there video of that? You know the indies are fucked when Joey "ran away from Enzo Amore at a Blink 182 show" Janela is one of the major voices.

There's a vid that gets shared in /pw/ that shows a dude confront Janela while he's trying to hide behind a merch table. The dude reaches Janela and is in the process of beating his ass when a bunch of other shitters arrive to save his ass.

Mind you, Megan Bayne is in the shot, she's watching her bf being manhandled and bailed out by other men, and the kicker? She's bigger than a lot of the dudes in the video.
