She's got many talents but should not be in the ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I can say is that it was in the build-up to Flair's title defence against Dusty at Starrcade, but I don't know which one. I tried to find the clip, but it seems to have been taken down. EDIT: Ah! Seems it was from 1984, so fair enough. I got the promotion wrong, it was Mid-Atlantic: The Flair stuff is pretty confusing but I think since '81 he was a babyface in his home of Mid Atlantic and played heel in the spots he travelled to as champ. It wasn't until the famous Dusty leg breaking angle in '85 where he turned full-on heel all over.

Merzbow Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Is there any chance whatsoever that ICP will one day turn up on one of these shows? I mean there's not but I just really want to see them continuing their run of being hired by every major and almost major wrestling promotion since the 90's.

Seratonin Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Jimmy Havoc. "Now that'll put butts in seats!" Wonder what they will do with him when they're not allowed to do deathmatchy things on TNT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's true it's killed any anticipation I had for the weekly AEW product right away. Can't be arsed with this shades of grey shit in my wrestling. As long as there are some definite heels and some definite faces, I'm okay with it. I care far more about clearly defined characters for the rest. Jon Moxley can feud easily with both Kenny Omega and Chris Jericho as a tweener. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should be saved for PPVs anyway. He also probably wasn’t signed to put butts in seats either, more like work with the people who puts butts in seats. He is decent for the role he was brought in to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members LaGoosh Posted July 8, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted July 8, 2019 I still think their roster is quite thin. It's a shame in a way that Impact, ROH and MLW are still middling around. Take the top few guys on their roster and chuck them in AEW and it could be quite special. Jacob Fatu in particular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may have been mentioned on here previously but it was mentioned somewhere recently that AEW, especially going forward on TV, could really do with some big guys that look the part. As an example, watching Slammiversary last night there was Killer Kross, Brian Cage, Michael Elgin - MLW has Hammerstone and the aforementioned Jacob Fatu. It really makes a nice change to see some big bastards in amongst all the smaller guys, Small guys that can 'work' have their place but, in my opinion, you need variety on a show and AEW is lacking that at the minute in my opinion. On another note - is it telling that wrestlers who, at the start of the year were seen as 'definite' jumps to AEW when their deals expired [like Gallows and Anderson] have chosen to re-sign with WWE rather than sign with AEW or am I reading too much into it?

Not really. They watched Fyter Fest and realised it's gonna be some time before AEW gain some decent traction without fucking up shows almost as bad as TNA. Some of the stuff in FF made me cringe so hard I felt bad for some of the workers. Don't know about you but WWE is where I'd be staying in this current climate. I'll keep watching the next few cards but they're really struggling to appear a competitor. Edited July 8, 2019 by Seratonin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Supremo Posted July 8, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted July 8, 2019 Note pad shown on this week’s Being the Elite. Cute little Easter egg, hinting at Oct 2nd being the start date for the TNT show and, “Good Brothers,” being crossed out now they’ve signed new deals with WWE. That sarcastic “more comedy?” is interesting though. It means they’re at least aware of the criticism. I guess we’ll see how they react to it on Saturday. Jericho’s announced as appearing, isn’t he? Maybe an angle with Hangman Page? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted July 8, 2019 Author Paid Members Share Posted July 8, 2019 Good post, SBA. Been saying it since the inception of this thing. Would be great to see some of those guys working a proper heavyweight main event style. Could see Page and Ambrose fitting in with some of the bigger guys, and Jericho now he's fat.

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted July 10, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted July 10, 2019 Joey Janela saw Enzo Amore at a Blink 182 concert last night, and Enzo gave him a smack to the jaw. Apparently he prank called him at Starrcast or some shit, so when Enzo found out who he was, he twatted him. More to the point, is Blink 182 now the wrestlers hangout? And were they at one stage teenage girls from the late 90s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
