Rush signed an exclusive deal with ROH so Park vs Rush will not be happening in MLW. (I assume like all ROH deals it is Exclusive for the US and Canada.)

I feel really bad for Court. He seemed really sure he had a commitment.

It's kind of hard to feel bad for Court given how badly he pays a lot of the guys.

It's not that they're paying wrestlers $150, it's that they're insisting on paying $150 to wrestlers who are being paid multiples of $150 for most of their other bookings. Otherwise known as "The Sapolsky Conundrum."

please provide an example of who was getting paid what before i become mad and MLW faces consequences. "nobody jones" (a joke name based on the wrestler being brand new or very generic and never earning any prestige) earning 150 per shot is quite fine. And that same wrestler, nobody jones, could just be a dick lying about offers from elsewhere just like many wrestlers do since they are bad people and liars as well as the bookers being bad people and liars. if you don't tell me all of the facts very soon then i'm going to ask that you stop providing potential half-truths or outright lies with nothing else being said. Ok?

I'm still nervous from my last message, and waiting for you to say OK back. when i open the thread I feel extremely scared of possibly seeing a negative response, instead of OK.

I'm tired of this. please forget what i posted earlier; both Of the posts. if you respond to them i will act like they were NOT made, and this is the warning for that. if you waste your time responding now, long after i've given you enough time to say Ok to me, it will be completely ignored.

Then MLW shouldn't cry when they get a talent scooped out from under them because they are playing the same game, hence why I don't feel bad for them.

I agree. I don’t feel bad for them at all. If you try to short talent you get what’s coming to you. I’ve always thought Court was a prick though.

Or sign a contract. Or ignore two reminders that you would be needed for pre-show pre-tapes unpaid or not paid.

I don't get Bix or Dylan Waco stumping for a former eBay scammer turned promoter this hard.

When have they really cried though? ROH trying to get talent to no show MLW shows that weekend when the TV/show is written is lovely and worth "crying" about.

It isn't like Court is holding back a Stickland from signing with NXT or anything.

At worst it was counter crying to BLP/Dylan/Bix's crying about the Lawlor cancellation and the false claim that it was to do with POLITICS to rile up gullible internet folk.

Problematic

quote:

Mexican favorite Pentagon Jr. will wrestle Angel o Demonio, the man that almost killed Puerto Rican wrestler El Cuervo with a cinder block. Más Lucha confirmed the news after a Klandestino wrestling show, “After the main event, Penta Zero M challenged Angel o Demonio to a singles match.” In the video, you can see how Angel o Demono tries to throw a cinder block at Penta, a playback of his atrocious incident last November.

Impact Estelar later reported the news in Puerto Rico, which alarmed many fans and wrestlers on the island. Many were outraged that Pentagon Jr. was giving air and work to a guy that threatened the life of El Cuervo de Puerto Rico. The article stated the following note: “What makes this even more serious is the fact that Pentagon Jr was one of the wrestlers who gave support to El Cuervo after the incident. Now the international star will be part of a promotion with the said assailant in what is promoted as a star fight.”
