Exactly, so stop bugging me about her. She doesn't need my endorsement.

I'm not bugging you. I didn't even tag you. You acknowledging her benefits you more as it shows you can stand for the truth. I guess not.

samistry:
When I say you're biased no vex. Apart from that brief backstage shot at NXT. Nobody affiliates MJF with WWE. So how does him deflecting make it look cool.
AEW signed him from MLW.
Moxley was actually the big name that defected to AEW.

many people were speculating he would go. If they can hire Hobbs, Ricky, Shawn and Page, they definitely can hire MJF. He made it look cool with the "bidding war of 2024"; tell me you didn't speculate he would go.
And yes, he did say WWE offered him a job, but he chose AEW.

samistry:
You only expose 'evil' when it's wwe. See person wey been dey support Eddie Kingston chop, Tequila promo and AEW stars being benched. That's being biased.

I've answered all these criticisms. I'm not not wasting another ounce of strength.

samistry:
Apart from Saudi they run international shows.
Nobody asked them to make it expensive. Even AEW tickets which are fairly cheaper by comparison are given out for free when they don't sell.
The Economy dey bite ppl for America coupled with high unemployment rate. People wey never fit afford basic living no go shell expensive cash for wrestling show.

alright then. I don't want to hear anything about AEW's tickets sales either, it might just be the hardship.

samistry:
Teaching them to lay on their back for her.

as usual, never giving Mercedes her flowers. She isn't looking for your acknowledgement and neither am I. She's just going to continue being the CEO.💯✨

samistry:
All that talk about WWE ruining his legacy but na preshow e dey, while Marina wrestles on the main show. Ricoshit gets what he deserves..

calm down. He's enjoyed small spotlight. Hangman was at a pre show at one time.

samistry:
The concept isn't any different from the usual contract signing segment. Doing it away from the fans was the issue.
Why I go pay money come see una LIVE for arena, only for u guys to be having a conference backstage?
I'd feel robbed

maybe or maybe there wasn't enough space to accommodate all. Maybe they could have found a way round it.

samistry:
Find someone who thinks about you everyday like Valee thinks about...

don't worry about me. You can be quiet, but I can't see evil and not expose it.

samistry:
He should be thanking Tony everyday for starting up AEW 😏

he said they gave him a contract but he chose to go to AEW instead. He was the one that made defecting to WWE look cool before likes of Punk entertained it, and there was a lot of speculation and possibility; he still didn't do it. He likes where he works.

samistry:
Posted this one some days back before the emptyheaded dumb bot banned me.
WWE just secured their biggest gates.
They're running Mania (ignore the expensive tickets).
They're running Saudi (jump and pass Iran missiles)
Everything is fine.

they are running Mania, and reducing prices everyday - they've reduced AGAIN after the last time. And the Saudi shows are there because that's the only guys that'll give them that money. What if the Saudis get bored (don't say it's not possible, Royal Rumble wasn't sold out)?
Again, if there is no trouble in paradise then they shouldn't be perturbed about ordinary show performance ratings should they?

Akpurakpumbem!

Selfless as always.🫶🏿💗

Yay or nay?

samistry:
If you watched the Darby/Cassidy vs Kidd/Finlay tag match on Dynamite. You'd think Gabe Kidd was the recent money signing not Finlay.He made more impact in that match.

Gabe is always a highlight. The 3 look dangerous together. Maybe give them the trios belt.

This your queen?😂

what Brody did was the most ridiculous thing I've seen in years, even more disappointed because of the people involved. The thing about AEW is that it's a harbour to all ideas, good, bad and ugly. This was terrible. But I'm sure the press conference hating fans loved it.

samistry:
It was pretty good and professional. Both guys told their history and sold the upcoming match.

Now, I don't know if doing that press conference backstage away from the crowd was the way to go. There were boring chants while the conference was ongoing.
The fans in the arena wanted to see it conducted in front of them, not via camera backstage. Also, let us see faces of the journalists asking the questions rather than back of their heads.

the fans didn't like it and I think it's the concept itself they didn't like. It's worrisome especially since they claimed they wanted a sports-based presentation. Wrestling has a way to go.
The punches looked too real though.

Samistry I'm sure you watched the press conference; how did it look at least before the fighting happened?

[quote author=samistry post=138730187]They are really trying to make this faction of jobbers a thing. No wonder AEW has been beating them in ratings recently...

Fit Finlay and William Regal appeared, and that’s when Charlie Dempsey betrayed Tavion Heights

Dempsey has joined Birthright#WWENXT

maybe David Finlay dodged a bullet.

pu7pl3:
After saying you meant main event talent you still turn around to say shiiit like this just for the purpose of arguing blindly.
Some one like Jey was a midcard level talent and he beat Roman and its been up from there since. There are many more examples. No dey argue rubbish.

the NXT guys aren't making event talent to beat actual main event talents. So why are you still insisting it was a good thing to do?

pu7pl3:
They didn't bury themselves, you just like silly arguments.

fine. Let's have Otis beat Roman next week, that'll definitely elevate him.

pu7pl3:
The mid carders that are talented enough to main event can beat an already established main eventer so you're wrong.
The new day went to NXT and elevated them there same with Becky.
Your statement is very wrong

i completely disagree. The New Day may have elevated them but they buried themselves in the process.

samistry:
Isn't it booking(wins,feuds and promos) that make those maineventers seem like a big deal? A guy like Drew can have all the tools but the booking may not be on his side.
Also, What's your take on the continental classic where maineventers lose to midcarders?

that's why I said the sport aspect of it needs to be brought so it doesn't look like a movie script handed to them by writers. Let the wrestlers earn their spots, don't hand it to them. Promos are for promotion, it happens in real sports. The bookings must be given to a guy who has earned it and they must be a transparent and clear system and criteria to determine that so much so that if a guy like Drew has all the tools, it will be unprofessional and unjust to not give him his rightful place on the roster in terms of wins and ranking.
As for the C2, again good wrestlers shouldn't lose to average wrestlers, but there's a bit difference. In the C2 they use a round robin method, meaning if you don't win today you can still win tomorrow and make up for loss. So the guards are not really that up as opposed to a 'just one match' rule. So there's more likelihood of that happening.

E reach to ask.

samistry:
How will the midcard talent get to mainevent talent to beat a mainevent if the midcard talent isn't allowed to beat a mainevent talent . He can't become a mainevent talent if he beats up only midcard talent.
See Fletcher/Ospreay, Swerve/Joe, Drew/Lesnar etc

in rankings they may be midcarders in that moment, but they'd have main event in TALENT or performance for them to be allowed to beat a main eventer. Hence I said backstage judges should be instituted. Back in the day, they'd hurt you for real to see if you were fit to.

pu7pl3:
there are main event talents in the mid card too so stop making statements like that bro it's wrong.

it's wrong. That's my point. What will for instance Becky Lynch be doing in NXT? Why will New Day be losing to people in NXT when talent-wise they are superior? One of the reasons folks aren't happy at Cody-Randy for Mania is because Randy has been losing too much. All of a sudden you want us to take him that seriously for Mania? Wins and losses matter. It's same thing that has affected The Miz all these years. This myth of putting people over when they don't deserve it has to stop.

pu7pl3:
How will that midcarder get to the level required if he isn't beating any Main eventer?

"main eventer" in this context is not in rankings but in talent. You have to be a main event talent to beat a main event talent.

samistry:
I can offer to pay with Tequila

the guy that said those 2 words rhyme...let me not say anything, my mouth no good.

pu7pl3:
If a mid carder should never beat a main e enter then how do you get new main eventers? Main eventers have 1 major job and that's to put other over.

I'll break it down. A midcard talent is in other words an average talent. A main event taker is in other words an elite talent. An elite wrestler should never lose to an average wrestler. It's either the average wrestler gets to the level of the elite wrestler and probably beat them or they remain where they are. Full stop.

samistry:
Only if she steps on me with those high heels.

it's too expensive.

Ayomid3h:
scripted

you got them.

samistry:
There was nowhere in my argument that I cited bad business as reason for AEW losing its TV deal . You can read my comments again. Innovation was related to your comment about Tony launching the app.
I cited TNA which also had an app for years.

Nowhere in my argument was directed to Paramount striking them off for bad business.

As regards the airstrike statement.
Can you blame me if I point to new ownership reneging their deal?

AEW has a TV deal with WB.
WB(saddled with debt) is being bought by paramount (which will incite 79bn usd debt).
There'd be a merger and acquisition.
Many programmes and brands will be casualties.
Isn't it dejavu as the WCW deal?

then it's an English language issue. What they did was innovative for them and I proved it. About their deal in jeopardy, I don't know, no one knows. All I know is this is a good thing and it's affordable for international fans.
