That's fucking insane. The Wyatt's are gone. The Nexus guys are gone.

Bray was constantly giving creative ideas for his character and they kept shutting them down.

The Cena/Bray WM match was over as fuck, even though I didn't get it at first, but that was one of the most creative things they've done in years and that was not Vince's idea. Vince's idea is current day Alexa Bliss, and people hate the shit out of it.

They let go two main eventers in two months, and they're not building anybody up, so shit is about to be even more repetitive on all cylinders. Half of Smackdown last night was recaps and replays of shit that happened on Smackdown that night.
 
AEW should sign Wyatt and make him the new leader of the "Dark Order". What a way to pay homage to his passing friend.

It would only be right.

He has the creativeness to pick up where Brodie left off. The addition of Brodie took them from trying to be a serious group (and failing horribly) to the more lovable loser group they are now. And Bray's Mr. Rogers character could play in to that and while subtly making them more menacing.

This would make so much sense and the only hope of making me care about the Dark Order.
Wyatt to AEW seems like a no-brainer.
Bray's in-ring ability is overrated, but his creativity (when done right) is unquestioned.

I can see Bray, Braun, and Eric (Rowan) Redbeard taking over the Dark Order, and recreate it into the Wyatt family, but call it the Windham Family instead....hell they'll add in Bray's brother Bo Dallas too.
 
Welp, just as I predicted that Jericho Gage match turned people off and now it looks like they might lose Domino's as a sponsor.

Again, it didn't turn people off. The ratings increased with their match and as far as Dominos is concerned AEW doesn't control what commercials TNT airs. Instead of getting butt hurt Dominos should use the buzz to sell more pizzas.

I think he's talking about in that article where it says "Founded in 2019, AEW is trying to challenge wrestling giant WWE for fans and TV viewers. But it’s bloody matches have turned off some fans and critics, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.".

Anybody supposedly "turned off" was never a AEW fan in the first place. They've been conditioned by WWE PG nonsense. The ratings reflect differently than this false "turned off" narrative that is getting pushed. Again, AEW has been doing hardcore matches since the beginning. If it was so detrimental to the company they would've been out of business by now but instead they've only gotten hotter. Sorry but I'm just not buying it.
 
As Meltzer would say "plans change".

They had a whole story courting Hangman to be their new leader.

In their last match, the graphic had him as a member of The Dark Order.

Since they lost, they could book it to where Hangman feels so bad for losing, he leaves the group, opening the door for Bray.
 
Creative freedom and moving towards and eventual union are the goals moving forward. It would be cool to see people get the "entity rights" of their character protected so they can go anywhere and not have to rebrand. The only obstacle is WWE when it comes to rebranding. They need to stop or they will be stopped eventually. Rebranding always seem to fuck the talent over when it comes to streams of income. As far as the most obvious union the talent can join is the stuntman's union it makes sense. The promoters will not be able to hold out forever.
 
I am liking the other promotions. Here is MLW. I like how they have deep talent and varied looks and styles. They got some big bruisers on their roster.

I agree.

Death matches aren't for everyone, that's fair. But there are people out there that are so pro-WWE, they're anti-AEW, they probably weren't "turned on" in the first place.

The spot was on TNT more than anything. They knew about the match.

They air ads during the hardcore stuff all the time and none of the other sponsors made a peep.

I heard somebody outside of AEW ratted them out to Dominos. Somebody from Domino's made a statement, but that doesn't mean they really give a shit. They only said they were going to re-evaluate.

The spot was funny for what it was worth.
 
NWA hopefully can rebound back to prominence or at least get a share of the pie. They have that good old fashioned tv studio action from ATL, Memphis, Oklahoma City, and Florida from the 80s type of feel. Fans long for that style again.

The difference between the old NWA and this one is the old NWA had Stars. This version doesn't really have that. There's no Harley Races or Ric Flairs or Dusty Rhodes' or Terry Funks in this NWA. If they want to grow as a promotion they need some wrestlers that people actually want to watch.
Nick Aldis is okay but nothing special. They just lost their top female wrestler in Thunder Rosa. Who do they have that people want to see?
