The bracket suggests there are two in the tournament, but to the best of my knowledge they still have haven’t been named Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Healys Chutney Spoon Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 I missed the description of the All-Atlantic title, but how can a Bulgarian, Dutch, Aussie and a Japanese guy be in a title match for a belt that's named after a particular area? Is it just a different way of saying 'European Championship'?  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmyAnderson Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Judging that the other six are six different nationalities, do we reckon the NJPW combo will be two different rather than two Japanese? Maybe a Jay White (highly unlikely) or David Finlay (possibly) against any one of their homegrown talents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinity Land Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 AEW haven't really explained anything about the All-Atlantic title. Just about everything that's followed the announcement has been guesswork online. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 The IWC seems aflutter with accusations that Thunder Rosa was sandbagging Marina Shafir in their match. I mean, Shafir is absolute dogshit in the ring and they’re sending the champ out to have a competitive match with her, having pretty much ignored the belt for weeks. I’m not saying it’s right but… I understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 That wouldn't be the first time I've heard of Thunder Rosa doing that either, but yeah that match should never have happened and JR being so vocal about it during the show was kind of funny if a little unprofessional.

I had an International Title in my promotion, which could only be contested by people of different nationalities. Pretty sure I even had an 8 man tournament to decide the winner. Loads of nonsense involving double crosses so that some blokes countryman would lose the title to somebody else so that he would then be eligible for a title match. This Tony Khan is a thieving bastard. Also, like we all know, this headball will have discovered girls at some point in time. Sooner or later all his old E-Fed notes that he has booked AEW around are going to be finished up with and then he's going to be completely flummoxed. (I'm guessing this title belt is it, one last roll of the dice, this is bound to be one of the last pages of the ring binder.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CavemanLynn Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 I've only seen clips as I skipped the show last week, but I think it might just be that Thunder Rosa isn't that good. She's clearly over, and I heard her name mentioned as one of the good bits of the NWA revival a few years ago, but every time I've seen her, she's sloppy and awkward when the bell rings. Except, of course, when she's in there with one of her trainees; she seems to have no issues doling out an uncomfortable kicking to her juniors. Her "big" dropkick in the ropes, where she basically jumps down on them, is going to pop an implant one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
