Brother the girls in the business have been ran through by half the locker room of any promotion they're in at the time. Same for the guys. They're all fuckin eachother.
Recently I was thinking about why Matt Cardona went back to the WWE to be a KWAB jobber and I've come to the conclusion that it's because Chelsea was ratting herself around the locker room again so he wants to be there to stop that. There's really no other explanation for it.
 
Tony stealing the powers of dead guys and becoming a Highlander for wrestling promoters would be the first interesting gimmick in AEW.
Hell, he can run around in a Fisher Price tricycle wearing pink feather boas and a burqa if he wants to as long as the show stays watchable.

But as soon as interesting shit starts happening, out comes Pockets and Mike "They/them" Bailey. :lossmanjack:
 
I find it weird how fixated all the articles are on CNN, barely mentioning TBS at all. Like, this motherfucker was basically the first one who built a Cable TV Network. Before that, four networks had a stranglehold over television.
yeah CNN basically invented the 24-Hour News Cycle that we live in now online
TBS's goofy :05 format and otherwise buying massive libraries was sort of innovative but literally redefining how humanity finds out about current events is slightly more important than throwing money at sweaty mangraps or supercows
 
Rampage Jackson's son got a plea deal after nearly beating that indy wrestler to death: 90 days in prison, two years of probation, and has to pay $81,000 in restitution.

It's good to have black privilege.

tbh for a wrassle-adjacent assault even getting charges filed is a bit of a miracle
 
Always undersell and over deliver. Your stupid paid fan club isn't going to shock the foundation of anything.

So this is what the NWA has turned into. Granted the title hasn't meant shit since Shane Douglas threw it in the garbage, hell probably not since the 80s.
It will be worth it if Billy has Effy win the belt only to lose it a minute later when Sam "Dexter Lumis" Shaw show up in a newly refined incel character and beats him up and sends him packing never to be seen again...

Cardona is the wrestling equivalent of a Disney adult. He doesn't care about how he's used, he wants to be apart of The Brand™. He'll eat pins for 10 years if it means he gets the occasional action figure, collector cup or random one night title run that goes nowhere. I'm not knocking it, he's living the dream but his inspirational "always ready" stuff feels fake. He's the definition of "happy to be here".

But let's give him his roses too. He's just self-aware enough of his position, who he is, and how he's perceived to turn it into money. His first instinct out of WWE was wrestling a death match with Nick Gage. It went over so well he had guys like f'n Buff Bagwell (pre-leg amputation) wanting to come out of retirement to do death matches (even selling shirts for awhile calling himself "Death Daddy"). No one can ever say Cardona hasn't had bursts of genius. Brian Myers on the other hand...

If money wasn't an object, in Cardona's shoes, I'm staying on the indies in GCW enviroments doing what Janela does; wrestling veteran guys in weird stipulation matches and the occasional feud with a younger guy.

Yeah but he would still be in the records as an NWA champion.
 
Just noticed that WWE Vault uploaded this absolute classic that I almost bawled rewatching it.

Yeah man, it's rough looking back at what is probably the last great era of America before the internet and politicians completely atomized us and turned us into faceless economic units. Shit is fucking grim.
