Paid Members Statto Posted June 7 Paid Members Posted June 7 15 hours ago, Ulf ist Gut said: Someone like Rocky Romero could probably do a decent job of that with the benefit of being small enough to make guys like Doyle and Davis look even bigger when stood next to them. They’d used Rocky as a ringside second previously but I’d forgotten that entirely - it’s a good shout, and the fact they went back to him being a mouthpiece for others (with Trent as a pair as Twoster suggested) once again confirms that TK lurks on the Keff. So yeah, if the Don Callis Family does have to be nWo-esque in numbers, mix it up a bit - Don’s the overall figurehead who predominantly manages the top guys, have RPG Vice talk for/second the middling guys/cannon fodder in a sleazy agent type role, and add a female member (Anna Jay?) in a more old-school valet role for some of the others. I’ve been a bit down on Collision of late as there’s been a heavy featuring of acts I really don’t care for/about, and I feared the worst when in the opener Divine Dominion (who I don’t count among those acts, to be clear) stood there for an eternity just watching & waiting for Anna & Tay to jump on them, but yeah it wasn’t too bad a show all round.

Beef and Alan Angels! Highlight of the show obviously Nigel quoting Springsteen’s ‘Youngstown’. I always liked that Nigel McGuinness. I love Beef. He's a good worker and a fun act. Wish AEW made space for more silly characters like him. Anna Jay seems like a lovely person but it's been years and she's still bloody rubbish. Maybe time to do something else with your life, Anna?

RIDDUM_N_STYLE Posted June 7 Posted June 7 14 hours ago, RedTwoster said: Shane Taylor Promotions is one of the most confusing acts in AEW for me in that I don’t know what the fuck they are supposed to be. Outside of Lee Moriarty - who is great - I’ve no idea who the other members are. Are the two female members wrestlers? What is the gimmick with this group, if there even is one? The word ‘Promotions’ suggests to me there is, but I can’t figure it out for the life of me. Get Moriarty away from them and have him do something better. So Shane Taylor Promotions are an ROH faction comprised of Shane Taylor - an ROH mainstay for the past 12 years, he initially founded the group in 2019 with Bishop Kaun and two other guys Lee Moriarty - current ROH Pure champion and has been part of the group since its relaunch in 2023 Anthony Ogogo - Olympic bronze medal winning boxer for Team GB in 2012, initially aligned with QT Marshall’s group and infamously had the feud with Cody Rhodes that effectively killed Cody’s run in AEW. He joined STP in April 23 The Infantry - military themed tag team comprised of Shawn Dean, Carlie Bravo and Trish Adora all of whom served time in the US Armed Services. Initial a babyface team, the trio turned heel in October 23 to join the group Christyan XO - former basketball player who’s only been in the biz for 2 years, joined the group in January Quote
The King Of Swing Posted June 8 Posted June 8 Almost any Collision that features the STP crew, gets an immediate thumbs up from me. Quote

Paid Members LaGoosh Posted June 10 Paid Members Posted June 10 Cassidy vs Andrade is going to be insane. Quote
Paid Members Supremo Posted June 10 Paid Members Posted June 10 (edited) OMG CM Punk reference from Andrade! Punk’s AEW return confirmed! This is like Nakamura hitting the Go to Sleep all over again! Solid looking card. It reminded me - was it Andrade and Pac who had that fantastic match on a random Rampage during Andrade’s first run in the company? Hope they run that back. Hoping this is a sign of Orange Cassidy moving back up the card as a singles wrestler. Feels like he’s been treading water for ages. For the genius T-shirt alone, he should be getting a huge renewed push. Edited June 10 by Supremo Quote

Hope they run that back. They did, yeah - it was the real main event of maybe the 2nd or 3rd episode of Rampage IIRC (when they were doing the old SNME model of the actual main event goes on first, but then having Mark Henry appear and kid you that it was "time...for the MAIIIN event" after interviewing Slim J and Preston Vance). Was an absolute cracker. Quote

The King Of Swing Posted June 10 Posted June 10 2019-2021 Dynamite archive, added to MyAEW and they are adding episodes of Dark, daily. Great to see everything slowly being added. Hopefully Rampage and Dark Elevation are not far behind. Quote
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted June 11 Paid Members Posted June 11 One of the worst show openings they've ever done. Jericho in 2026 is just absolutely abysmal. Do they want people to turn off or something? Quote
