[quote author=samistry post=138240796]They're fumbling Toni Storm to primarily make Marina look dominant. DeathRiders is one of the worst thing to happen to AEW.

Dave: "This is the 1st show I've seen where Toni Storm came out and they didn't go crazy. I think this tag team has really hurt her."

Bryan: "They're booking her like a mid-card tag team wrestler and people are seeing her as a mid-card tag team wrestler."… pic.twitter.com/8KxvtH9upO

can I say - its simply a bad idea.

CoolUsername:
It's up to the victim to forgive, not your buddy who claims to be an advocate for women's rights

so Page can't take a pic with a repentant soul. Are you that holy?

CoolUsername:
Powerhouse Jobbs was never a star in AEW. He was a midcarder at best

you can be both CoolUsername.

Will Hobbs has reportedly signed with WWE. I wish him the best in his future endeavour. A company man to the T. From protecting Cody Rhodes with a chair to becoming TNT and Trios champ. He did well with what he got. I personally hoped he was pushed much more. I hope he thrives in WWE.

AEW giving WWE another star; don't say they didn't do anything for the wrestling business.

CoolUsername:
For a nonce?

for anyone

CoolUsername:
That's our goddamn cowboy

Yee haa!!🤠🐴
But, isn't there room for forgiveness and restitution?

samistry:
Why wait till criticism mounts? This na just damage control.

actually.

Aha! Told ya he wasn't racist.

The question is - how do I unsee this?

samistry:
AJ Styles was there for a "let's go TNA" speech.
Zaria signed a contract to face TNA women's champion, Xia li.
They also have an invasion storyline where the NXT jobbers, Charlie Dempsey, Stacks, Lexis King, Brooks Jensen etc are running amok.

but fate hasn't been good to TNA. They're always around mediocrity; never successful on a wide scale. It's well.

CoolUsername:
Muh joshi cinnamon roll is just expressing her glorious Nihon 10000 folds brand of espect. Cut through workplace etiquette and common sense

if she was your partner would you see it that way. Not like anyone has ulterior motive but the visual is off-putting.

samistry:
I followed the highlights, there were only 3 matches on a two hour show .

Two matches involved a past their primes Hardys and the Iiconics.
Na old cargos and NXT rejects full that place.
Most of their good talents were scooped up by AEW and NXT.

Their X division champion, Leon Slater couldn't even wrestle as he was busy on SmackDown.
He may be gone soon.

I don't see the Righteous, Cora Jade, Sonya deville as ratings movers.

Their top baby face, Santana finally won back the title he shouldn't have lost from Kazarian.
I think Santana might be leaving for NXT when his contract runs out.
Mustafa Ali and Moose are too good to still be in that company.

Their President, Carlos Silver seems clueless as the show is saddled with a depleted roster, abysmal booking and WWE interference.

Man. They couldn't even get NXT talent? The WWE partnership stopped helping them or what.

samistry:
Me sef no wan argue as I embarked on self exile after our last one but the patterns add up.

I'll leave at that. I hope he sees talented black people too.

Wait, who watched TNA on AMC?
I just heard Jim Cornette apologizing to AEW for calling them the most rotten Wrestling show with a budget in the world saying that TNA show beats it by far. Who watched it, what happened, how bad was it?!

samistry:
His fraternizing with Trump.
The promo against Booker T.
Mvp also doesn't respect him.
Swerve felt he didn't push him like other talents.
Look at the way he treated Bobby Lashley.
This recent push of Camelo comes after many folks called out WWE for not pushing black male talents.

it might be a long debate. Maybe he is, maybe not. Booker defended him, MVP said it wasn't about race, the Trump stuff isn't strong enough for me and TBF black people really haven't been pushed in wrestling history.

samistry:
There must have been a black person in LA Knight's lineage.

another racism reference. What exactly did he do to trigger this from you?

Wetin man do man?

samistry:
It's perfectly fine to Trips as she isn't black.

that's heavy.

samistry:
Triple Haram will pay for this.

that wasn't appropriate of Iyo. I'll say it.

samistry:
Lmao...when Sean Ross Fap start give awards?
Funny how you brought this one and sports illustrated but nada on ESPN awards.

i didn't even hear of that. My post is because of the outrage that followed the SI awards where AEW dominated.

.

Tears go flow o.😂

samistry:
Is Jordynne Grace next on the injured list?

most likely

🤐

samistry:
U want make I take person with name as Elio Lefluer seriously when it's not his real name?

you know how these names are created. I don't particularly know about that one, but concurrently HHH wants to give these guys authenticity with their names. Rather than spring names out of nowhere they take input from the wrestlers based on a real life connection, workshop that and create the name. So at least, they can still feel authentic and WWE gets to own it. I'm guessing it's why that name is so.

For instance; Lexis King is a combination of his sisters' names and Blake Munroe is a combination of her Niece's name and an Idol of hers. Real life connection, WWE owned.

pu7pl3:
Those guys use their real names majorly unlike wrestlers that take fake names majorly too.

the point is, if people can adapt to theirs; hard names, even fake can be adapted. They adapted to Oba Femi.

samistry:
Jobber with good theme song na still jobber

speaking of which; do you guys know that Bret doesnt know Iyo? I don't know if she isn't good enough or he just doesn't care.

https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/1mn5zn1/i_told_my_friend_to_ask_bret_hart_for_his/

pu7pl3:
Ofcourse you'll disagree.

of course. The ballers, boxers, MMA guys don't change their names; why should wrestlers?

pu7pl3:
NXT needed to shoot out of a canon this week after everything that happened last week, including the exits. They did just that with a lot of chaos, a few new names, and some intrigue at the end of the show. Not a complete home run cos for me when you hear names like Keanu Carver or Shiloh hill or Tavion Heights you just know they won't go far in the business regardless of he amount of talent they possess.

i strongly disagree. It's just a name.

CoolUsername:
His looks are OK. Without them, he just a random big black dude

One day I'll be proven right. Hell, Cena's jorts suck.

CoolUsername:
Triple K is fooling y'all. He's going to bury Oba Femi any day now

I think so. The guy should also look to his looks. Anything gimmick (no matter how little) ain't good. I believe Oba will do well. He can talk; but so did Grayson Waller.😭

This should be more frequent. I can't over emphasize. You don't need to lose to move higher, that's counterproductive.
