It would make sense for Hangman to return here and win setting up his match with Omega for "Full Gear".
THE WRESTLING THREAD: BROCK LESNAR HAS ENTERED THE CHAT!!!
- Thread starter ArsenalCannon357
- Start date
My observations from the first episode of "Rhodes To The Top".
- Lee Johnson is dating Julia Hart
- When Jade speaks in her normal talking voice it sounds so much more natural than when she cuts promos.
- I don't know if it was the pregnancy glow but Brandi looks really beautiful on this show.
- I don't need to hear about Brandi's "in labor" vagina.
- Seeing Darby Allin smile is weird.
- Cody's "I'm fighting racism by having a mixed baby" promo is still cringe.
- Cool seeing Tony Schiavone interview Sammy after his big win.
- Do they have to show Brandi and Cody kiss every five seconds? We get it; they're in love.
- Apparently Jade got too stiff with Red Velvet on a slap.
- Brandi is delusional if she thinks at any point in her career she's going to win the AEW Women's title.
- Overall I would say it's a decent show. I'll probably stick around because I love the behind the scenes stuff.

This should be interesting. Guessing they are moving Street Profits back to RAW since Bianca was drafted there and they trying to keep couples together. I'm looking forward to seeing Briana fine ass but she wasn't ready to be on the main roster yet. And just hope they don't make the group super corny
Yeah, I thought it was cool. I'll definitely keep watching for the backstage stuff, and I hope they keep featuring Jade and Starks. Jade looked good AF.
I thought it was interesting how they started off with the BTS of the Ogogo promo and how they thought it actually went well (at least to them), because I feel like that was the exact point when people completely soured on Cody.
And I always thought Brandi was pretty, she just needed some weight on her because she had no hips. That baby weight got her a little thick now.
Wow, they're really protecting Jade. No reason for Rosa to eat the pin there. I understand they want to hold her off facing Baker until next year but damn you can't have her eating pins like that. Also, I would like for Jade to incorporate other moves into her moveset like clotheslines, suplexes, dropkicks. Enough with that damn pump kick.
I dig the updated black belt
The Best Friends hug spot on Negative 1 was a nice touch
The way Khan explained it was technically they're not done they just have each member doing their own thing right now.
NASCAR vs Formula 1 is a better analogy. Both popular in their markets, but it take a certain type to thrive in one versus the other.
No. Formula 1 is more popular overseas versus NASCAR.
I used the NBA/BIG3 analogy because the NBA is the universally known brand of basketball whereas BIG3 is popular with an niche market.
When people here AND overseas think wrestling, they think WWE, not AEW. Same thing with Basketball, not too many people will identify with BIG3, it's the NBA they think about when the sport of basketball is mentioned.
AEW has ways to get to the WWE level, I mean Vince brand of wrestling has a damn near 50 year head start.
It's why I laugh when people say WWE is losing.
WWE is a known commodity. AEW is still building an audience.
If you look at the crowds at WWE shows, you see men, women and children. AEW is full of wrestling neckbeards.
AEW will gain a larger global audience eventually, they just haven't gotten there yet, just like BIG3/Three on Three basketball.
I get what you're TRYING to say, but have you been to a BIG3 game? Outside of the possibility of either getting pussy or winning money would you buy tickets to a BIG3 game? Do you know anybody that even WATCHES forget going to the BIG3? 99 percent of NBA fans don't even know OF the BIG3! I just pulled that stat out of my ass and I got Scott Steiner 33 1/3 levels of confidence and I KNOW it ain't true!!!
The niche market that you're talking about with AEW BIG3 doesn't even have, I can safely say that the crossover fans from the NBA to the BIG3, BIG3 doesn't have. You are correct Formula one is popular overseas, but overseas is a niche market. Trust me those neckbeards you mentioned they still watch WWE, granted a lot of them watch out of spite or just to critique, but they're still watching. and a lot of people that would go to a WWE show would also go to a WWE show. There isn't such a thing as a Basketball enthusiasts that watches NBA and then BIG3 during the off-season, I don't even know when their seasons are played and I am Scott Steiner-ing this fact as well!
BIG3 WISHES is could pull the numbers that AEW is pulling right now (Scott Steiner) where they are taking viewers from the NBA. Even you watch AEW and you feel that their product isn't catered to you. If Jeff Gordon, Bubba Wallace (both too big to race in Formula 1) and Team Richard Petty announced that they were going to start racing and or putting teams together for Formula 1 you would have NASCAR fans following and then the more people that they could relate to let alone pronounce their names and understand during interviews would bring in more fans. BIG3 HAS players that NBA fans know and love and nobody is watching that shyt.
Look I get it most of what I said is comedic, but dawg... BIG3? Really? Retired NBA players and never was basketball players versus retired WWE wrestlers and wrestlers that either don't like Vince or Vince wouldn't give them the time.
I'm not sure what I just saw .... but I couldn't stop watching.
Damn Mickie
I had the shit on mute I never heard it lol
Why yall in here arguing and defending promotions like
It's one of those Tiktok songs.
If that's the IG post I saw earlier, it's Baby Keem and Kendrick Lamar. It's kind of a weird sounding song, but people like it.
Seems too small scale for him. I seen them Impact crowds, even the PPV audiences look meager. His act is built on crowd reaction.
How many times have they done the heel (and a entire camera crew apparently) invades the face's house and now it's personal angle. WWE writers really think the fans have the memory of a goldfish.
I think maybe because I had stopped watching wrestling by the early 90's and missed the entire Monday Night Wars / Attitude Era, I don't get the tribalism or the defensive nature a lot of fans take today for promotions. Like people on Twitter and Reddit be wishing for companies to go out of business or be going hard for Vince or Tony Kahn. It's weird to me.
I'm more appalled that he ate an apple and chased it with orange juice.....
#True Heel
Ya'll just couldn't let Arn have this one, huh?!? You put him in a dumb gimmick as a coach... Who the fcuk needs a COACH?!?! What'cha did is made hima glorified valet and the ONE time he gets over off of a promo, you put him in a Starbucks uniform... That's cold!!!
