He's probably scared people will revolt. Seems like the indy followers are all here
THE WRESTLING THREAD: BROCK LESNAR HAS ENTERED THE CHAT!!!

If he's scared of his workers revolting, then he shouldn't be a wrestling promoter. Just be the money man and let someone else handle that.
Being a wrestling promoter requires an alpha male presence, which TK does not appear to possess.
Yeah he's od'ing.....Lethal deserves better than that and AEW got some day 1's that are all falling to the way side i'm sure.
At this point he gotta settle for You Tube shows and shit. Or he'll fuck around and not be on anything at all.
You're buggin! The crowd that they have Jay Lethal is as much a draw as they are.
This one's tricky. Because AEW figures aren't out there like that. Stores get up to two cases at one time so finding any is good. And it's not uncommon for someone to buy the full wave. Even if you don't really like a wrestler, as a collector you may regret not buying it when you found it. I know from experience. The only figures I see warming the pegs here and there are Riho and Franky Kazarian. But they eventually get bought too.
I'll admit I got WAY to hyped about Scorpio Sky early on, but they cooled off WAY to quickly on him, but he is clearly upper mid card material
You saying Jay Lethal can headline a PPV like Punk or Bryan can?
Punk only got a lot of his popularity for how he left and all the shyt he said while he was gone. But yes I believe Jay Lethal could headline a PPV like either one of them.
I think Jay Lethal like Dustin Rhodes, mainly trains the younger talent. I see clips of him doing that. He's being used similar to what they are doing with Emi Sakura. She gets a nice paycheck and is used on Dark to work with the greener talent.
You bugging man lol. Punk was on top of the world when he left..i'd probably still say Punk is still one of the biggest draws in wrestling.....same goes for BD.....Lethal ain't that man if he was his ass wouldn't be on no damn Youtube AEW show....and he deserves better than that. Don't get me wrong he should be one of top guys or at least mid level in AEW....he shouldn't be disappearing for weeks. Why even sign him to do that?
That's not true. Danielson vs. Suzuki was on Youtube and he wrestled a full match with Aaron Solo on Dark in one his first few matches. Adam Cole was on that episode, too.
Except Punk was popular when he was in the WWE. He wasn't Cena or The Rock but he was very over. The way he left just added to things slightly. Lethal is good enough to headline a PPV but he's not the draw that Punk or Danielson are. He deserves better than what he's getting in AEW. But we've established that Tony Khan is ass backwards hence The Best Friends being on TV every week while Lethal has been on once or them getting more TV time than Team Taz.
That felt a little different though. Danielson had his moment on TV and didn't disappear....we ain't see Jay Lethal since when? Just for him to pop up on Youtube? I don't know maybe he's shown up but it seems like I haven't seen him.
I don't see being on the Youtube shows as a demotion, tho.
It's different in AEW because wins and losses are actually counted, so they often have their main players featured on Dark and Elevation to boost their records so that when they're introduced into a story line on Dynamite/Rampage, they have the record to justify it. T
hey don't seem to be interested in having somebody come in brand new and go straight into a heavyweight title feud. They seem to pick feuds from the Top 5 of the rankings.
Jurassic Express was on Dark/Elevation all the time, they built this strong record up, they got over, they got reps in, and now they're the tag champions. They're doing the same now with Wardlow so they can break him off from MJF and he can start building his own character.
So I'm not trippin' if Lethal is on Dark/Elevation since he'll be building his record for when they use him, he's not on TV taking losses in non-title feuds, plus I'm wondering if he's doing some training, too. He had a great match on Dark last week with a brother name Troy Hollywood.
They're also airing an episode tonight with the other champions they filmed Saturday night:
I can't even get excited about this because I know there are some punk ass people backstage talking 'bout "She needs to lose a few pounds." If she ends up staying with them long enough she'll eventually get a Piggie James-like angle.
Punk is a draw for what he says. Before the initial pipe bomb, he wasn't a draw he was running NXT and before WWE he was in the same boat as Jay Lethal. Thinking that Punk was this huge draw WITHOUT the initial pipe bomb is odd to me.
Even if that is true....you keep saying without the pipe bomb lol. I'm talking about his draw RIGHT NOW lol. Pipe Bomb included...he's a draw. Whether its because of the pipe bomb or whatever....same goes for Daniel Bryan.
I would need to go back and check what I said, but my point was Jay should be just as much a draw as Punk. He has a better move set, I think he is just as good on the mic. The draw that Punk has is the Pipe Bomb, without that Punk doesn't have the following or popularity.
He would be a fool to wrestle again. He's got a good gig as an announcer.
And it's not like he was ever over as a wrestler like Bryan Danielson was when he was forced to retire due to concussions.
No point trying to make a comeback and then get future endeavored. Look what happened to Samoa Joe.
100%. A storyline doesn't work, you're on Vince's shit list and soon will be gone.
Another baseless lawsuit from a desperate company barely surviving. LOL
WWE gets these type of lawsuits all the time. Would have held up a bit better before AEW was around.

Meh, Lucha Brothers/Young Bucks (Steel Cage) match was better. While I'm at it I could probably name 10 other matches that were better.
I forgot that these are kayfabe awards. In that sense Jade would be rookie of the Year since she has a undefeated record and won the TBS championship.
For somebody who doesn't consider any of the other wrestling companies as competition, that sure doesn't stop Vince from sandbagging the other companies any chance he gets.
I heard this was about MLW possibly having a live show airing at the same time as NXT.
MLW and NXT's fanbases are probably totally different. Old people are WWE's biggest demographic, I doubt MLW was going to siphon any of their viewers. Old people probably don't even know what Viceland is.
