WWE's production is their worst aspect, no idea why you'd hire that guy.

he isn't a tv producer but a match one. like the music producers who actually do something. maybe that's what you are saying. well, i don't know why they done this then. but sonjay was pretty versatile as a wrestly roo (i am an ozzie. just kidding)

The faces he makes while posting are inexcusable! When he writes a post his face is like a troll double checking bones to see if there's any meat left! When I post I look like a peacock softly kissing a rose! Didn't his parents provide him with a posting mirror to practice forums faces growing up?

Awh, how close does this put his birthday to his daughters?

You've got to admit, you are kind of implausible



Wasn't the story that Dutt quit/asked for his release, instead of being let go? If so, then maybe he was sick of the backstage of the WWE shows.

Having just googled him because I didn't recognize the name, that is the story (according to Fightful so probably true). He could also have noticed the large number of people getting sacked and decided to jump before he was pushed.

I see. I'm totally unfamiliar with his in ring career unfortunately. Him asking for his release does imply he wasn't enjoying his time at WWE and was looking for new jobs for sure.

He was an X-Division guy in TNA.

He was the guy Kevin Nash always made fun of for being on steroids during the PCS.

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

Dutt was a solid wrestler and his thing in TNA for a long time was "best wrestler in the X Division to never win the title". Then towards the end of his run they did a tour of India and he won the belt there with a big fanfare. He was also working backstage at that point and I believe was involved creatively with Ring Ka King.

Honest question as a non-WWE watcher: could a TV production person from there make AEW's any worse? These last episodes have been particularly lovely in terms of direction and editing.

From what I've seen WWE shows run smoother than AEW shows on a broadcast level in terms of like, transitioning between segments, having the right audio feeds, graphics work etc. The camerawork, on the other hand, is impossible to imagine existing on television

If anything AEW should be making GBS threads on WWE more. They are poo poo and run a, and I quote, "a sloppy shop"
