THE WRESTLING THREAD: BROCK LESNAR HAS ENTERED THE CHAT!!!
- Thread starter ArsenalCannon357
- Start date
I always feel like he's a bootleg Austin
We finally get the sequel we've all ben waiting for. See No Evil: A Brother's Revenge.
Look it up youngsters to watching wrestling...in fact no, don't look it up
Damn, already throwing her in there against Hayter. Should be a good match. Tough one to call because I don't think either one should be losing right now.
I hope they work this into a storyline for Riho.
Damn, I wanted "The Final Countdown".
They need to make this the main event. Looking forward to this. The first match they had was fantastic. Stiff and brutal. I figured the reason they were able to get Suzuki is because he's not competing in the G1 this year.
The Great JADE!
Da hell
Surprised there no female wrestlers involved..Alexa Bliss wouldve been perfect
One day she'll hopefully appear in The Fappening IIIThe Great JADE!
I know.
I know.
Oversaturated? Sure.
Do I give a fuck? Nope.
Do it.
And I hope they take Keith Lee with them.

If these signings continue, as there is no reason to believe they won’t, I sincerely see AEW turning into WWE.
All those indy wrestlers/AEW originals are basically forgotten.
Seriously only a matter of time til another wrestling organization develops to be an alternative to AEWWE…..

What is the saying; 'Be the hero long enough to see yourself turn into the villian.'
The wrestlers coming from the WWE is looking for time off with time to wrestle... Basically a comfortable schedule....
Unlike WWE tho AEW has working relationships with essentially all the named promotions so there are plenty of places to work.
The main thing people are forgetting is creative control and freedom AEW offers. Mick Foley touched on this and theyre alling him Judas on social media.
CM Punk and Moxely spoke about this numerous times.
Not likely. There aren't that many people with the money and the desire to start a wrestling company let alone able to get TV to truly be a competitor. And most of the talent that'll end up leaving AEW is talent that shouldn't have been on national TV anyway like Hybrid, Marko Stunt, etc.
Calling AEW WWE is straight up blasphemy. AEW is actually entertaining and books there shows well more quite regularly.
They've booked Hybrid poorly. Angelico was great in Lucha Underground. Jack Evans was one of the best and innovative high flyers at 1 time. They need to split them up & put Angelico into another faction. Maybe throw him in with Aldrade.

I like Marko Stunt! His ass reminds me of Spike Dudley. He should NEVER win a match, but it is entertaining to see him get his ass beat, in that he never gives up.
The other option is impact right?
You seem to forget WWE once had working relationships with other promotions.
AEW didn't exist 4 years ago. No one could have guessed an upstart promotion would have popped up in Jacksonville a few years ago. But it did. Whose to say another wouldn't. Remember, TNA was an upstart once too.
WWE was once entertaining and booked decent shows regularly.....

Ruby should go over, no question about it. I don't even know who the other chick is. I know she got some ass though.
I'm enjoying AEW at the moment and they're clearly the hot promotion right now, but I just hope they don't crash like WCW did.
Signing damn near every ex-WWE guy gets people excited now, but what about the long-term plan?
AEW needs to make sure these guys coming in are putting over the young talent, unlike WCW and the NWO that buried all the young talent back in the day.
I would be curious to see what kind of PPV numbers All Out did. All these signings at some point have to translate into higher PPV buys and TV ratings long-term and not just popping a rating here and there because of a debut or hotshot match.

The difference is that WCW was giving out multimillion dollar contracts and letting guys like Hogan, Nash & Hall renegotiate their contracts whenever someone made more than them. AEW is letting talent make money on the side with bookings and 3rd party stuff like YouTube & Twitch. WCW would have signed guys that don't move the needed like Eric Rowan just because. Right now AEW has signed the best talent available. I'm not a fan of the Big Show & Mark Henry signing but I understand why in needing to appeal to the casual and hardcore fans.
I think were continue to see see Jungle Boy, Darby, & Hangman as the top young home grown talent they push.
Money talks.
Is AEW making money?
Are any of these guys that AEW signed going to translate into dollars for the company?
Yes, talent is able to make money on the side, but is AEW as a company turning enough profit?
For instance, they leave a lot of money on the table letting others (Pro Wrestling Tees) handle merchandise sales.
Yes, AEW is a fun product and fresh, how long will this model last though, especially when their competition is a billion dollar entertainment company that is a brand ingrained in popular culture.
My point exactly.
Internet and social media buzz is great, but at the end of the day AEW is a business and all that buzz needs to translate into dollars.
Yes, AEW makes sense creatively and is the place to go for the talent, but it needs to make even more sense financially for the people running it.
Even a billionaire (in this case, son of a billionaire) has a limit on how much of a loss they will take before pulling the plug.
