If it wasn’t Kross they’d use someone else. Hayes, Theory, Waller, etc.

sadly true, out of the 3 you listed I could only see Waller being interesting as far as a push goes, Hayes is a midcarder for life and Theory is a shitter imo, these kids dont understand wrestling and think anyone on the roster can just have the strap, and if WWE listened to them they would be like AEW,
 
this is what I figured the entire time, MJF is too much of a pussy to lose the hair.

Honestly I think they've been better recently than they've ever been on the main roster. Even if that doesn't say much. Ciampa was aimless on his own and Gargano was a borderline looney tunes character. Then when they were faces teaming up they had 0 heat. At least now they can just be put in a match with faces that are actually over.
 
G1 final is Evil vs AEW’s Takeshita heel vs heel with the story of someone has to save NJPW by stopping EVIL. I don’t understand NJPW anymore.

The IWGP title is Nigel, an AEW commentator, vs ZSJ at Forbidden Door and then assuming he holds it and they wait this long ZSJ vs Evil or Takeshita Tokyo Dome main event.

AEW did a scathing damage to New Japan. I called it since the start that the so-called alliance between the two would only benefit AEW and nobody else. And look where they are right now, they are in their second greatest crisis since the dreadful days of Inokism.

What're you on about? It's been a boon for both sides! AEW gets access to Minoru Suzuki, Tomohiro Ishii, Kota Ibushi, ZSJ Jr, Konosuke Takeshita, and more. In return, NJPW gets access to...

...

Wait, what was NJPW supposed to get out of their arrangement?

New Japan hurt themselves. Even CMLL managed to rebuild better after COVID.
At this point, fuck it. Sign Titan away from CMLL. Take the lucha pill.

NJPW did a terrible job of preparing for Naito and Tanahashi imminent retirements/getting raided for talent by AEW. They put their chips in on EVIL and Sanada as top guys and neither of them really panned out. It looked like they were going to pulled the trigger on Hiromu and it just sort of never happened.

There's some decent guys in the guys that came back from excursion over the past couple of years but the only one i see being a top guy is Yota Tsuji. The pandemic fucked them as well because of how strict Japans restrictions were during it.
 
Mandy Rose doing a video covering an article that is covering something Dave wrote in the Observer about people wanting to leave WWE to do Onlyfans and Mandy being a pioneer for doing that. Mandy calls herself the blueprint because "no one else did it before me".

I am not even joking, 1.4k might genuinely be less than the amount of people who read the observer, it's certainly less than the amount who saw the paragraph because it got posted on Twitter and Reddit.

but uh way to go Mandy, I guess.

EDIT: WAIT A GOD DAMN FUCKING MOTHER FUCKING MINUTE BURIED THE FUCKING LEAD RETARDS. IN THE PREVIEW FOR THE EPISODE AFTER THE INTRO MANDY SAYS "WE HAD TO CLEAN THE RINGS IN NXT CAUSE THERE WAS A HERPES OUTBREAK I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE KNOWS THAT ONE". THAT'S THE FUCKING HEADLINE IDIOT NOT YOUR ONLYFANS.

yeah don't focus on the STD outbreak in the WWE wrestling school, cover wrestling news stories like any other faggot. God dammit I hate Mandy now.

I am not watching 40 something minutes for her to mention the herpes at some point, hopefully someone covers it at some point cause that's actually something worth looking into as journalist.

This is another point that annoys me about AEW fans, they’ll justify any hostile move that AEW does because Dub Good Fed Bad and it’s beyond cognitive dissonance at this point, these are the same people who will say WWE was imperialist for purchasing AAA yet they have had way more instances WWE talent appearing on AAA then AAA talent appearing on WWE programming, AEW fans generally speaking have gotten so bad in the roughly 7 years since the company was established that they basically have become a non religious cult, when WWE books a shit match i will criticize it, but 99% of AEW fans cannot criticize Tony yet WWE is the worst thing ever to them, talking to them is like talking to a brick wall

Have any companies that have allied with AEW not been damaged? Maybe TNA? I'm more pondering post-2022 deals though.

TNA had it's title hostage for months, was never acknowledged on AEW TV, and all their guys had to job to the Elite at all times.

>Inb4 but muh WWE

TNA guys show up on NXT every other week and are shown to hold their own and have beaten WWE talents at times.

The only reason it wasn't worse off after the burial by AEW was because Impact was at it's lowest point and since the bulk of it was during Lethal Lockdown, there weren't any crowds.
 
Those of you who watch WWE can recap it without even watching but AAA now gets the full WWE opening.

-then now forever together
- video package
- AND NOW TRIPLEMANIA BROUGHT TO YOU BY CRICKET
-shots of the city and arena
- National Anthem
- commentary talks about wrestlers as they arrive in cars and shit
- entrances for match one finally starts at least ten minutes in.

Wild to see. It’s too well put together. This sucks. Give me back my AAA that I watched once or twice a year and cried laughing at the train wreck.

Edit: and in between matches they’re showing celebs and wrestlers in the crowd. It’s fully just WWE Mexico.
