  1. 'Final Boss' must surely be another thing Reigns takes umbrage with in storyline? No way the 'Head of the Table' will stand for that. I've no issue with LA Knight v AJ. It at least has some backstory to it.
  2. I agree with the "need' part. Plus it's what both we and Tony see as being 'over the odds'. As has been said, wrestlers have been notoriously underpaid for decades in comparison to 'real' athletes but at the same time, having dealt with footballers contracts, it wouldn't surprise me if Tony thinks £5-£10mill a year is a reasonable wage and what he "needs" to pay to get certain people.
  3. What is it, based on what is out there in the public domain about Tony Khan, that makes you think he isn't? Genuinely interested to know.
  4. I agree she's shite but at least they have presented her as somewhat of a big deal. I fully believe the figures being thrown around are true. It's Tony Khan. He doesn't care. It's peanuts to him. He has no shareholders to answer to and billions to play with. Fair play to all the wrestlers bilking him for every million they can get. 'I get paid more money than I've ever dreamed of AND I get to do what I want?! Where do I sign!?'
  5. That's reminded me - Where the hell has Britt Baker gone?
  6. 'I'll mention on air that something happened. I won't say what but I will say off air'. I guess someone's needing the likes and subscriptions.
  7. Gable is not my favourite wrestler, however Sami has had his time. He doesn't 'deserve better', he has already massively overachieved. As has been said, he has only recently been inserted into the story. Yes, they haven't referenced it since but Gable made the vow to beat Gunther. His kids were crying for God's sake. Gable has been criminally misused and overlooked for years. He is the one who deserves better. He had a built in underdog story and having him beat Gunther could have created a new popular babyface. As long as Sami loses at Mania I can live with him being in the match, however. I just have this horrible feeling he'll win though....*SHUDDER*
  8. If history has taught us anything it's that Mercedes Mone's debut will be the peak and then it will be all downhill from here. I hope I'm wrong.
  9. It is, but it also wouldn't surprise me if he actually made her a CEO for the women's division or whatever.
  10. I'm sure it was on a podcast. More than likely bollocks.
  11. Did I hear that him and Colette are divorced now?
  12. Big question though is, unless I missed it, has Tony actually made Mercedes a CEO?
  13. If he does win then it might finally put the 'He should have won at Mania 39' talk to bed.
  14. Have they been named as culpable in any of the abuse? My understanding was that they were just named as being aware of Vince and Janel Grant being in a relationship.
  15. Okay, there is no way Cody is losing after last night...is there? I mean, they wouldn't would they?...Oh God, they would! Of course they would! It's totally what they would do!...but maybe that's what they want us to think and Cody will win!! They've done it, the bastards! I'm actually emotionally invested! I'm a jaded, cynical old fuck who has watched more wrestling in my life than it's probably healthy to watch yet they've hooked me into caring and I both hate and love them for it. When wrestling's done well there's no other form of entertainment that's better.
  16. I love that a non-wrestling person takes the business seriously and keeps kayfabe better than almost every wrestler these days.
  17. She is definitely proof that 'the system' can work.
  18. First Mania - 8. Bret / Piper was (and is) great. I marked for Liz slapping Flair, was a massive Undertaker fan so loved him tombstoning Jake all the way to WCW. Plus 'Its the Ultimate Warrior!!!!'...'Is it?! Who the hell's that guy?' and then the talk of the playground over the next few days was that the real Warrior had died and this was an imposter. My first VHS that my dad bought me at a local shop was 'Best of Wrestlemania' that must have been released in 89 as it had one match from the first 4 Manias - the main event tag at 1, the battle royal at 2, the 6 man tag at 3 and Beefcake v Honky at 4. Still have it gathering dust somewhere. Fave Mania? I'm going to say 1998. It just hit at the right time. I was 16 and massively in to ECW so WWF getting edgier got big points from me. I remember thinking Sable was the best wrestlers in the world (credit to Luna Vachon for that one) and thought that crazy bump off the ladder into the dumpster was the coolest thing I'd ever seen (next to some softcore porn on the German sports channel DSF after WCW Nitro had finished).
  19. Whoa!!!! Shit just got REALLY interesting!!
  20. We're talking about Tony Khan, mate. You think he WOULDN'T chuck that much at Okada? As you said, WCW gave £3 million a year at Bret Hart - that's the equivalent of £5.8 million now according to a quick Google check. Okada is not Bret Hart but to Tony, he is. He's the guy that sold out the Tokyo Dome with Kenny Omega and had all those 7* classics. Even if it's $1 million a year there's no ROI. You know Jericho's on way more than that and there's no ROI with him either. Tony's not concerned about ROI. He's the son of a billionaire. The money he's giving Okada and (reportedly) Mercedes Mone is peanuts to him. No wonder everyone in AEW publicly kisses his arse. I would too. Fuck, I'd rim Tony Khan in the middle of the ring (pardon the pun) if he was giving me that kind of money.
  21. It honestly wouldn't surprise me if it's true though, either.
