THE WRESTLING THREAD: HHH KEEPS DOING HHH THINGS.....

[EPDC]

Can't have it both ways TK.

You can't use the "we have three hours and our competitor has seven" excuse when it comes to not showing more of your talent on TV.

No one pushed TK/AEW to sign up all those wrestlers. No one pushed TK/AEW to buy up a whole other promotion, especially since there was no (appears to be) plan with getting those talents onscreen.

You can't say "well they have more screen time" when you signed them.

Use them Tony.

i hope they continue to do what they and get to some love of WWE proper
maybe a reposts on WWE youtube or other social media

or

highlight on a raw/ppv

 

[chemist]

He fucked up now. Doing somebody else's intro after you did Roman's. The Tribal Chief is coming for them belts.

 

[xspade7]

Yeah AEW needs to trim down some IMO. Vince was accused of the same thing too when they went on their talent hoarding phase. You can't have everyone in your promotion. Imagine if the NBA or NFL didn't have roster caps? Just dozens of dudes on the sidelines collecting checks doing nothing.

Sounds like WCW

 

[0utsyder]

I REALLY expected this motherfcuker jump down from the 2nd floor. Shinsuke's entrance music makes me want to do shyt like that!!!

 

[Mastermind2002]

It's a possibility but I doubt it.

 

[chemist]

It's a possibility but I doubt it.

Punk def isn't ready and Kenny needs to take the rest of the year off but with the Trios titles coming up and the Undisputed Elite turning on the Bucks I can see Kenny coming back tonight.

 

[ThaBurgerPimp]

What Becky Lynch story...?

Looks like Kenny is coming back this month.

AEW really shot themselves in the foot by putting the interim championship on Moxley. Why not a heel? How exciting to the masses will it be to have face Punk and face Moxley face each other to figure out the undisputed AEW champion?

Just dumb booking. It would have been perfect opportunity for MJF or Miro….

Instead you have Moxley fighting nobodies waiting for Punks return…..

It doesn't matter if it's a face or heel that has the interim belt because Punk is getting the belt back when he returns anyway. Why waste that on Miro or MJF when they both deserve true title reigns? For all intensive purposes the world title is held up until Punk gets back then he'll have his reign and then MJF will probably get his reign after that.

 

[Mastermind2002]

I don't think Moxley can do a wrestling match at this point without blading.

…..but the payoff would be better with a heel champion facing Punk when he returns.

They could have always surprised people by having Punk lose…..you know to keep people invested.

Knowing Punk gets the title back does nothing to build excitement for his return….especially if he faces the garbage wrestler known as Moxley.

 

[Mastermind2002]

PUNK IS BACK! So it's gonna be Moxley/Punk at "All Out".

 

[chrislee]

 

[Mastermind2002]

When he does return hopefully it's with a brand new gimmick.

 

[ScottyPiffen745]

Looks like Kenny is coming back this month.

Looks like it's next week. They're doing the promo episode for the new Game of Thrones show that premieres on HBO soon, seems like a good time to have a surprise return for Kenny while they're bringing in extra eyes to the HBO show for Warner/Discovery. TK said the Shark Week promos they did a few weeks ago went well with W/D, too.

Everybody and they mama know Punk ain't losing his title match back. This is his time. TK probably already has who his next three world champions are going to be.

Which is why it would have been a good idea to change shit up.

Cats complained for years about WWE doing predictable shit.…yet AEW is doing the same thing.

People were complaining because how long has Roman Reigns had the damn title. The complaints come from that shit being beyond stale. Punk hasn't even had a proper title reign yet.

Fantasy promoting here. If I'm Tony Kahn would end all of those YouTube shows, put all those people in ROH. Make Rampage the ROH show and move it to Tuesday nights up against NXT. You can use all of those vets who aren't actively going after titles to train and build-up new talent. Cut the AEW roster to 50 people and use that for the people I want to push now.

A lot of that is up to Discovery/Warner. If it's in the contract that they want two AEW shows TK can't just up and change one of the shows to ROH. He has to work closely with Discovery/Warner on any moves being made.

The only thing I don't like about her is she's a Christian.

Yep. It's really sad. I read somewhere that Ric passed out twice during that last match. He's determined to die in the ring it seems.

 

[Mastermind2002]

Now use it as motivation to book better shows. You got the talent and resources to do it.

 

[Mastermind2002]

Yeah, she was gonna be the one to dethrone Jade now that's on the back burner.

 

[Mastermind2002]

Cole they can keep off of TV.
