These are actually pretty good matchups
I agree.....
So underrated one day you all will see what I see and give her the love she deserves
I like her. I think she just needs some seasoning. She comes across way younger than her peers to me. This is the most grown I've ever seen her look.
D-Von Dudley suggests that some talent in AEW are experiencing frustration due to Tony Khan's decision to permit others to make certain decisions.“There’s just certain things about the organization. I love the talent. I think the talent is great. There’s no question about that, but there’s a feeling that certain people in the organization that call the shots, I’m not a big fan of them.And Tony Khan lets that happen… I’ve got nothing against AEW as a company. I’ve got nothing against Tony Khan. I just don’t like the way the organization is run. And that’s about it.Again, I’ve got friends in AEW. I’ve met new people at autograph signings, like Will Ospreay who is a great guy and a lot of the talent in AEW have the same frustration that I see. They just wish that certain people wouldn’t be calling the shots and that Tony would take more control, but yet give it to somebody that knows what they’re doing.”
Titus O'Neil responds to criticism of WWE WrestleMania 43 being held in Saudi Arabia:"I can say this, because I've been to Saudi Arabia several times now. I feel safer in Saudi Arabia than I do in most places, or a lot of places, in the United States of America."I think in the United States, we have this mindset that we're the greatest country in the world. And we are a great country. But people don't move to the United States because we're the greatest country in the world, they move because we have the greatest amount of opportunity."I think that the biggest difference between places like overseas in Japan, Saudi Arabia, Middle East, all those places, and the United States, are morals and convictions. They actually live by theirs, whether you like them or not. They're gonna pray five times a day. They're gonna stop during the day and they're gonna do their thing no matter what and who likes it, who don't like it."You don't hear about mass shootings in Saudi Arabia. You don't hear about mass shootings in China. You don't hear about mass shootings in Japan. I think if people went over to Saudi Arabia, or had a chance to go there, their views would change dramatically. And I'm not saying that they get it all right, but we don't get it all right either to be pointing fingers at anybody."So for us to be able to go to Saudi Arabia, when I went the first time that we ever went to Saudi Arabia, and people had all these negative things to say, and there was a whole lot of scare tactics and scare verbiage and all these things."In my hotel room, it's 1 o'clock in the morning, and I see kids running around on the beach. Kids. So I get up the next morning and I ask my driver, 'Hey, are you guys not worried about some of these kids getting sexually assaulted or beaten or brutalized or kidnapped or whatever?' He said, 'No, because it's an automatic death sentence.' And I'm like, so, kids are safe over there, but kids are not safe in the United States."So my perspective of us going to Saudi Arabia for WWE, yeah it's business, but it's also changing cultures. When we first went over there, women were just now getting introduced to being able to drive. Things are changing over there, and so many people have this mindset that, in America, it's like, if somebody talks about race, well that was so long ago. It actually wasn't. It's 2025 now and it's 1960s, 70s, 80s, sometimes even up to the present that we still have systemic issues with racism."So, I'd rather go as a performer where I'm gonna be celebrated, not tolerated, and it's gonna be a first class experience for everybody that chooses to come to the show."And WWE is a platform that caters to one audience. That's the audience of one. No matter what color you are, no matter what religion you practice or you don't practice, no matter where you come from. We have too many people on our roster from various places around this globe to be prejudiced, to be antisemitic, to be any of these things."So if there's ever a platform for us as a company to take and utilize to show what unity can look like, to show what good business looks like, to show what other cultures look like and how they embrace what we do, no matter where they are and what they come from and how they dress, Saudi Arabia's definitely one of those places, in my opinion. And I think if the WWE brass and TKO brass didn't feel that way, the decision would not have been made."First and foremost, most of the people that are complaining about the show being over there would never book a ticket to go over there anyway. Watch the show on TV, it's going to be a spectacle. Saudi Arabia does nothing small, and WWE does nothing small. So get ready for a hell of a show and a hell of an experience, on a global stage that's gonna show everyone why this business, and particularly TKO and WWE, do it better than anyone in the world."(TMZ)
6 years in and Tony still doesn't understand
Okay, how?
And this was the downfall of WCW! You COULD make the argument that Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair, etc... also did this at WWF to some extent, but Vince has always had at least a firm hand on the wheel and the other on the ebrake whenever that would happen.
