Wrestlers no dey see match wrestle in wrestling focused company

she's in ROH I know. Also is she still that good? Don't think so.

samistry:
Isn't it same Finn that had a banger against Punk in Ireland last month?
Does Finn have much say in how his booking goes?
Brodie King isn't winning the title match against MJF at GrandSlam. Where is this sentiment for him?

You know how many times Mark Briscoe and Kyle Fletcher lost title matches?

I'd rather have Wrestlers play video games than die early due to alcohol and substance abuse.

yeah, same Finn. Imagine he had been doing that consistently for 2 years, maybe he won't be in this position. He can have a say, he's a veteran and I'm pretty sure he loves the video games.

Brodie is fairly new in the main event scene so I'm not expecting much from him, Finn however is a veteran. No be Punk be e mate? He just came back and in how many years is world champion.

samistry:
You mean wrestling banger matches isn't enough for you?
Would you be saying same if he was in AEW?

I would. Banger means different things to people. As for me, giving a proper athletic match while simultaneously telling a story is my definition of it. Melo jumps (just don't know if he's special athletically) and I can't tell you a Melo match has made me feel something.

CoolUsername:
He has a championship.
Midcard talent puts him over all the time.
They even improved his entrance and gave him cool lighting.

see what I mean; notable crowd reactions, big social media numbers and ratings and high merch sales. Prove to me that Melo has all these and I'll change my stance.

CoolUsername:
US Champ.
Consistently featured in bangers every Friday with at lest one backstage segment.

That's not floundering.

on paper. Meanwhile it hasn't translated to increased status.

.

Not surprised at all. Rather than wrestling consistently and having good matches to increase credibility he chose to spend precious time playing video games with JD, now he's an afterthought. I don't know if Finn has given up but this version of him sucks.

pu7pl3:
Some people are saying it's Grayson Waller

i am 90% sure it was Rollins. You could tell with his stature and walking style.

If it walks like Seth Rollins, it probably is Seth Rollins.

pu7pl3:
The Oba roll out has been a huge success Soo far

I'm still afraid for him. I feel people are hyping him a little too much and pushing (the fans not company) him too fast he may crash and burn. Let them give him competent matches to wrestle consistently with top guys who can compete. Then, we can know if Oba is all entrance and shouting, or he's got it.

Stop the 🧢. Melo is in fact floundering in the midcard. I believe they will do well still.

Maybe reduce ticket prices. How much for world cup?

They won't do it. Won't want to destroy the narrative of a double main event.

My guy had to take the train
https://nodq.com/news/cm-punk-reportedly-dealt-with-travel-issues-prior-to-his-arrival-at-wembley-stadium-for-aew-all-in/

i am aware. Again, they didn't release a statement. But there was rumour that no one was given a cab that day, and other stuff. I only know they pay for flights and hotels.

samistry:
I read something about Punk trying to navigate his way around London during All In. There was no car to pick him up.

they didn't really release a statement to that effect. I only know about their flight and hotels which AEW pays for.

samistry:
They were still making dough compared to today's inflation. However, Nxt talents are making more than Julian, Mariah and Matt Striker earned.
I still don't get why talents pay for local travel and hotel fees themselves.
Why not just get a team bus or plane?

that's why I love AEW. But really, it boils down to company operations and policies.

This is allegedly a leaked salary list of the superstars in 2005/2006.
They didn't call him King of Kings for nothing.

What do you think?

samistry:
Where Sareena Deeb, Deona Purazzo, Dark Order, AR Fox, Shelton Benjamin, Matt Sydal, Jay lethal, Tony Nese? Them dey sambiza?

I also found out some of these guys deh ROH. It's like NXT for AEW.

CoolUsername:
No

Okay.

CoolUsername:
You probably didn't get the joke because you don't engage with wresting memes, just IWC misery.

yeah, I do. Now explain the joke.

Sad end to an era.

samistry:
It's black history month.

how was there much D in Punk/Roman promo. The whole thing seems forced.

samistry:
So fans are not free to air their views in an AEW venue🙃

they are. If it was left to AEW Jay Briscoe and Trey Miguel would have wrestled there, but the companies they work with have a problem with it. Worse comes to worse, Tony needs a stronger backbone.

samistry:
Where Sareena Deeb, Deona Purazzo, Dark Order, AR Fox, Shelton Benjamin, Matt Sydal, Jay lethal, Tony Nese? Them dey sambiza?

I don't know. Maybe they've good reasons, maybe not.

samistry:
You can't support ICE then complain about police brutality and accidental discharge in Nigeria.
The fans are free as long as they don't bring up Garza

some benefit of doubt will be appreciated.

not bad. If the GOAT can show up there, who am I to complain?

samistry:

nice try; he was referencing Epstein.

Na wa o.

But, is it just me cos I didn't get the joke. If it's what I think then it was just forced. Why is he even talking about them; I don't remember them mentioning his name.

Man.😢😓

What do you guys think of ICE?

Me: At least the people have less hunger to worry about.

But hey, in AEW the fans are FREE.
