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

[datboi]

MINA TIME!



She had a solid match with Anna and got some more exposure to an American audience. Now it's back on a 12 hour flight back to Japan to get ready for the Stardom "All Star Grand Queendom" show.

Anna Jay was looking good

 

[Mastermind2002]

I didn’t see a cheap shot in the video….

Look at it again. He shoved Perry right in the face as Perry was fixing his hair. You don't do that. That's cheap!

 

[Nochturnal]

True but even though Roddy is a phenomenal wrestler he's been treated like a joke and afterthought during his time in AEW so why would they stop doing that now? Maybe Osprey can give that belt some true prestige
Besides Khan doesn't know how to build a long lasting feud that could keep Osprey occupied so that he doesn't need to be in the title picture without also devaluing Osprey in the process

What does this do to help Roddy?

 

[Mastermind2002]

Got to wear that neck brace Tony. Sell the injury. Now I'm gonna watch the NFL draft to see if he wears it.

Two issues I have with it….

The whole worker vs boss angle…Stone Cold and Vince did it to death. Maybe it can work if you do it fresh and but this can get bad quick.

Also…them releasing that footage of Punk handling him….now beating up on TK? Looks weak.

They have to make a NJPW (NWO) takeover with the EVPs leading the influx of NJPW talent against the AEW homegrown backing Tony Khan

 

[Mastermind2002]

Tony even got his father in on the act.

 

[Nochturnal]

It's real simple. Perry felt TK did him dirty by suspending him for the Punk incident as he felt he did nothing wrong. That's why he attacked TK. The whole time he was away from AEW and working in New Japan he was working as a heel. Hence the name "The Scapegoat". That's why when he came back to AEW he aligned himself with "The Elite" who are heels. Tony Khan is the babyface in this situation. Jack Perry and The Elite are heels and Punk is immaterial as they only aired the footage to setup this story.

Fam, I can follow the story they are trying to tell. His suspension was warrented because he was the catlyst for everything. That aside, by showing the footage, again, from their point of view, Punk is the heel, and Jack is the face/ victim, and as long as they're chanting "Cry Me A River" Punk is not immaterial in this. They're forcing the "heel turn" when fans clearly wanted to cheer for him, hopefully they execute whatever plan have and make it something entertaining.

He gets a good match.!! Other than that have shown that they don't care about helping Roddy. They put a title on him but if they really cared he wouldn't have been doing that goofy yelling someone's name crap for months portraying him as a goof in cringe inducing segments.

Then why is he there?

 

[datboi]

C.E.NO wasn't as cringe here as she normally is. When she doesn't do that over the top C.E.O shtick and just talk straight with purpose she's much better. In regard to Willow her promos have improved a lot since she first came to AEW she just needs to knock off the grunting when she gets mad.

This should have been Saraya speech to Mercedes for costing her 5 years out of the ring.

Is that what they trying to do? Reboot old as storylines? I hope not.

Mercedes the one who did that to her?

 

[dtownsfinest]

Looks even weaker considering they've been using their power and Khan has stood by and let them. You attacked a guy who has done nothing but let you run roughshod already. Khan is not good on camera so he's only going to make this worse than it would already be. Stone Cold and Vince were at least compelling characters who could sell the story physically and telling the story verbally. The Elite are bad promos and Khan is bad at all of the above

And like you said nobody is going to forget the visual of Jack Perry getting punked out

I agree.....after the PPV....why they choosing to go this angle after so much praise for their PPV work is mind boggling.

 

[Mastermind2002]

 

[dtownsfinest]

Look at it again. He shoved Perry right in the face as Perry was fixing his hair. You don't do that. That's cheap!

To me a cheap shot is you not knowing a push or hit is coming. He knew one was coming why is he fixing his hair? Fixing your hair to fight means you don't want to fight.

 

[dtownsfinest]

What does this do to help Roddy?

Nothing which I guess they don't care? Not sure how they feel about him long term but this does nothing for him....

Always gotta be ready. When Jordan Poole pushed Deebo he should have been ready for that swing. That was a bitch move by Draymond but it 100% wasn't a sucker punch.

 

[Mastermind2002]

 

[Mastermind2002]

I love heel Okada!

 

[Mastermind2002]

Welcome to the club Tony!

 

[datboi]

Mercedes the one who did that to her?

 

[Mastermind2002]

Looked like a freak accident to me. Mercedes kicked her in the upper back.

 

[dtownsfinest]

Exactly. Draymon a hoe for doing it but Poole should’ve seen it coming for sure.

 

[dtownsfinest]

Damn what exactly did she do just landed wrong?

 

[dtownsfinest]

Welcome to the club Tony!

He low key had the worst of them all lol…but in his defense it has been done so much….can’t really reinvent the wheel there.

 

[God-Of-War-420]

Please get Jericho off my screen! "The Learning Tree?" GO AWAY!

He looks unwell.

 

[gdatruth]

i guess he finally one of the boys now

 

[chrislee]

I was excited to see TK get beat up!

 

[NightMare Paint]

Tony even got his father in on the act.

Shahid gonna be backstage looking for them mofos like

 

[NightMare Paint]

Damn what exactly did she do just landed wrong?

She was likely already injured and wasn't aware. It was clearly a planned spot and not just Mercedes randomly kicking her in the back. I don't know how the narrative that it was her fault has persisted.

 

[drewmadara96]

Punk cheat shotted Perry when he was fixing his hair. That's not handling someone that's been cheap.

What man fixes their hair in an argument.

HOLY SHIT! The Elite destroy Tony Khan! Jack Perry is a made man now! Love it! Even Tony's dad Shahid Khan came out to check on him. This story actually has potential if they let it cook. Have the Elite take over the show nWo style with TK out of action.

This is a step in the right direction. They had to do something to get their ratings an attendance up.

Yeah I’ve never heard that ever….crazy….

"Anna Jay you should've kept your nose and that rather large bottom out of my business. This Saturday I want to see you in that ring and if you so much as touch a hair on this child's head I'll clap those cheeks all the way back to Georgia." - Toni Storm

 

[Mastermind2002]

Bro if The Elite come out and announce the Jags draft pick I'll pop so fucking hard. I wasn't gonna even watch the draft now I'm gonna tune in to see what happens.

 

[Mastermind2002]

ALWAYS!
