Snitsky's back acne

Not great matches by any stretch of the imagination but I am posting these purely for the bizarre nature of Nicole Bass wrestling two great All Japan Womens wrestlers AND the freakshow appeal of the size difference between Bass and Chaparita Asari.
 

WWE has so many potential 'money' matches at their disposal at the minute it's crazy.

I remember it only being a few years ago everyone was (rightly) saying WWE has no stars and no big main event matches.

Now they have at least a year's worth.

I love wrestling. 

Very cool looking venue.

It was a proper vince creation though. I'd rather he be bland than wear a flat cap looking like a extra from.either peaky blinders or emmerdale

Nah, that was the best thing he's ever done. He proper looked the part too. 

Give me Butch and Maximum Male Models over Johnny Gargano, Tommaso Ciampa and Tyler Bate any day of the week.

So they are teasing a 'Pete Dunne' return.

Am I the only one who thought the original incarnation of Butch where he was the scrappy little psycho guy who went missing because he was always looking for a fight is by far the most entertaining thing Pete Dunne  has ever done, and that 'The Bruiserweight' is Johnny Gargano levels of bland?

How am I supposed to know you're autistic? 

And yes, I have conversed with many autistic people actually, thanks. Don't think any of them post on wrestling forums though.

I'm sorry. I'll put a disclaimer up next time. I guarantee many autistic people post on all forms of social media, including wrestling forums. We're allowed to vote too. 

Getting back to Tony, I wish social media was around in the 90s. Can you imagine Herb Abrams on Twitter? It'd be phenomenal. I don't know why Tony Khan made me think of Herb Abrams.....

I didn't ask "what are the differences between Tony Khan and Vince McMahon?" though did I? It was quite clearly a rhetorical question making the point that yes Tony Khan is a nepo baby but so is every other major wrestling promoter in the past 40 years. Including, and especially, Vince McMahon. 

I'm perfectly relaxed, thanks. Though somewhat exhausted by some of the posts on here.

You've never conversed with an autistic person before, have you? 

I wasn't replying as a dig or a snide. You asked an open question. I answered it. I'm sorry if my inability to gauge rhetorical questions on a text based forum due to my neuro-divergence is exhausting to you. I'll do better in the future. 

Anyway, Tony Khan. What a twat, eh?

So you misquoted and misunderstood the point I was making. Great.

Nope. Just answered the question. Relax.

So what? What's that got to do with anything? He was still a nepo baby.

You asked 'How is this different from any other major wrestling promoter of the past 40 years?'
Vince made a profit - that's how this is different.

Vince made a profit.

Gets his wealth from his father and is clearly surrounded by people who don’t tell him no. His lack of self awareness is something else. 

Indeed. He is not a billionaire businessman, he is the privileged son of a billionaire businessman. Has Tony ever actually run a successful, profitable business?

It's a real shame because it's clear nobody is telling him no, and why would they? If I'm getting paid more money than I ever had in my entire life (and, in some cases, was ever likely to make in my entire life) I'd keep my mouth shut and cash the cheque too.

AEW is a Tony Khan vanity project. It's his E-Fed come to life. It's all it will ever be.

Its sad but all any of us can go now is try and enjoy the bits we can while the wheels keep coming further and further off. 

I suppose a four way at least means lots of action. As much as Reigns and Orton looks good on paper I dread to think how much stalling and milking they'd do in a marquee singles match

Wild seeing Danielson in the Tokyo Dome though. He looked over the moon to be there.

He has worked there before.

Plus he willingly called it “X”. Definitely needs investigating.

Exactly. Everybody knows it's 'X - formerly known as Twitter'. Sheesh!

word is he's fucked both ankles in that match, and what I've seen of the finish is hard to watch. He came into AEW with injuries, and apparently his shoulder has got worse since then, and now this. His body just seems completely shot after years of being Kota Ibushi.

Who would have thought that doing moonsaults and bodyslams in bookshops, shopping malls, funfairs and forests would fuck the body up so badly?

Tony is the son of a billionaire. He has likely never been told 'No' in his entire life.
I work with a guy whose parents are millionaires and he is a massive throbber with no self awareness so I can only imagine how unbearable the son of a billionaire is.

Bennett and Taven were at the end of All In at Wembley as well.

So were 80,000 other people but I wouldn't be putting them in a main event group.

Starting to get the impression that Tony Khan doesn't know what he's doing.

Starting? 

I feel like somehow this is all CM Punk's fault. 

Very sad news.

I won't mark your words because they won't.

I know. Tongue was planted very much in cheek for the post..

Tony's going to make The Devil storyline AEW's Bloodline and drag it out for a few more years yet to show that he can do long term storytelling better than WWE. Mark my words.

what year was the Fozzy tour around C tier pubs of the north of england? was that this year or last? if it wasnt around Christmas it made it feel like

I dunno but Fozzy played at the Welly in Hull in 2005 and seeing Jericho in that dingy nightclub with the sticky floors was quite the sight.

Muto's been tied to NOAH for years now, and his daughter is about to debut on one of their shows. Doubt he's been doing all that promo work to help out a rival promotion. 

Doesn't he have ties with All Japan? I must have my Japanese pro wrestling hierarchy confused.

I think a working relationship has been rumoured for a while now.
Muto was in America earlier in the year and I guarantee it wasn't just  to sit ringside for Rollins vs Nakamura.
Could be a very interesting development.
