THE WRESTLING THREAD: BROCK LESNAR HAS ENTERED THE CHAT!!!

Somebody needs to save Tony from himself. This is cool if it's like a legends deal video games and stuff like that. If we get a spinebuster leading to a figure 4 leg lock then it's worth it just for that nostalgia for me.

I was right, Flair's signing is largely for merchandising. Also the energy drink is paying nearly his entire AEW contract. So kinda a W when you look at it that way.

TK has really lost his way and AEW is in danger of losing it's hardcore fans. AEW 2019-2021 was so good. What the hell happened?

I was just asking myself that. It always seemed like it was a fan running the show...now it just REALLY feels like a fan running the show. Like listening to a 9 year old talk about different anime's and who would win in a fight between them.

TK is not a booker (even though Meltzer and his minions voted him booker of the year) and never has been.
He's a kid with a lot of money handed down from his dad playing with his real life action figures that he bought.
At some point every kid gets bored of their toys and either wants new toys or stops playing with toys all together.
Seems like we're getting close to the point where TK may be running out of new toys to play with.

Chrislee, you're right brother...I think it's WBMedia/Discovery is making these changes ....

WB owns a piece of AEW so they get to call the shots to a certain degree.
That's what happens when you take a check in exchange for giving up partial ownership to another company.

I had a feeling it was probably an exchange deal where Flair gets to plug his energy drink basically for free without AEW having to pay him directly.
Kind of like the old Slim Jim deal with Macho Man and WCW.
Still not a good signing because of the optics of it all.
 
I went back and watched this week AEW Dynamite!!...It was a solid show!!...They are getting ready for the upcoming PPV so this show was to build it up for it...I knew that Adam Copeland was going to team up with String and Darby Allin for Full Gear!!..I'm glad it wasn't Ric Flair..lol....It look like The Young Bucks might be turning heel soon!!.. I thought the last match with Bullet Gold Club vs MJF and The Acclaimed was cool..

Overall, It was a solid show to get ready for the upcoming PPV

Sounds like Bianca is going to need backup now that it seems like Kari Sane has joined damage control. Enter Jade Cargill?

And I'm actually not that made at Logan Paul being US Champ. It's obvious he has put the work in and trying

You could have a good story line if WWE would partner with Stardom and have Asuka join in an NWO style takeover.

Anything is possible but I doubt it. The average WWE fan doesn't know any Stardom talent other than KAIRI and Io Shirai (Iyo Sky). They may have heard of Giulia, Mayu Iwatani or AZM in dirt sheet mentions but never seen any of their work. It just wouldn't work. If anything I would like to see talent like Bayley leave WWE and wrestle in New Japan/Stardom like Mercedes.

What if Kairi becomes the new lead of Damage Control..

I think they will turn on Bayley sooner rather than later. I don't know if Dakota can step up and be the mouthpiece bit they need a strong English speaker to carry it. We have seen the broken English promos of Asuka and sometimes they make me cringe.

Although this would be interesting

WWE Has Their Eye On Bringing Back Another Former Superstar

Kairi Sane returned to WWE at Crown Jewel. It appears that she may not be alone, because WWE could have their eye on more than one Japanese talent. Sean
