UK Kat Von D Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 35 minutes ago, BomberPat said: When Stephanie McMahon is presented as the figurehead of WWE's women's division, they're rightly criticised and mocked for it. Is Brandi Rhodes as the head of AEW's women's division any different?  Well Brandi actually would be playing a part in setting up the women’s division, Steph hasn’t actually done anything for the women’s revolution. She just sorta showed up when everyone else had done all the work. Nobody really minds the McMahons when they are being entertaining anyway, but that hardly ever happens. Steph is an awful character who spends most her time cutting the legs off all the talent, so as long as Brandi Rhodes doesn’t do that it’ll be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamura Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 1 hour ago, BomberPat said: Ask yourself this - if the Kliq were starting up their own promotion, or any other less popular group of wrestlers, do you think people would be celebrating when they appointed themselves and all of their mates "Executive Vice Presidents", or do you think it would be seen as jobs for the boys? Jobs and health insurance for the boys. There's lots of smoke and mirrors claims made by these snake oil salesmen about healthcare and offering more than the "if you get injured while wrestling we'll look after you" given by WWE. However when actually pressed for details on this, it turns out that the only people who are getting a real healthcare package are the Young Bucks, Cody, Brandi and other "executives". https://uproxx.com/prowrestling/all-elite-wrestling-cody-young-bucks-health-insurance/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Factotum Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I imagine the Bucks might be pushing for it but they have to convince the money men. Good intentions can only ever go so far. On a previous subject, I kind of get the impression that Cody has his vision of what wrestling is. I wouldn't be shocked if he's less involved in ring with AEW and concentrates on the booking etc. He's definitely for his old mans mentality and his ego does not seem as massive to make himself the star of that promotion. Pure speculation of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Factotum Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 And then lost it very quickly.It made sense for him to win that match given how it was booked and what the event was. Had he lost, would anyone really even talk about it? Him and Aldis were the story of that event. He wasn't the Main event and as mentioned he lost it shortly after. It gave the NWA a boost as well. I don't see him winning that as an ego thing. Again could be utterly wrong on that. Just the impression I get from him in interviews etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Did it not make sense for him to win the belt? No. Did the crowd crap all over it? No. Did the NWA object? No. Cody had loads of momentum going into that show. Should he have ruined that by jobbing himself to Joey Janela in the opening match just cause he's the booker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it was the main event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I realise we're a long way removed from the NWA's Board of Directors needing to vote on title changes in advance, but I'd like to hope Billy Corgan has at least some say in things and title changes aren't booked by whoever happens to be promoting a show on a given night.

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted February 11, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted February 11, 2019 AEW employee David Meltzer said this today. “There are guys you’ve probably never heard of, that haven’t even been announced yet, that are making 6 figures when they sign up for this company.” This sounds like a total money grab. Lanny Poffo will be sitting at home laughing at this news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
