Just starting listening to the Brodie lee interview with Jericho.

So Arn was a big supporter backstage and one day just told him “I’m going to stop because it’s probably hurting your chances”

:smith:

Vince just had it in his head “I think he looks southern. BETTER HAVE HIM DO A SOUTHERN DRAWL”

:goodshit:

Edit: Vince literally wanted him and Rowan to be Demolition. Backstage people brought a picture of demolition and said “this is what Vince wants”

2nd Edit: people should never ever pitch anything to Vince if he’s eating anything. He just won’t give a gently caress about your ideas :lol:

Didn't they literally just gently caress that up with Ascension? Or were they meant to be Road Warriors?

Brodie asked for his release and they didn’t want to release him because as Triple H told him “it’ll look like rats leaving a sinking ship”

Vince literally called him and said “I can’t let you go because of business reasons”

Edit: aww near the end, Daniel Bryan personally called him and told him he wanted Brodie to feud him. Good guy Bryan :unsmith:

Edit 2: He and Rowan won the titles against New Day and Rowan tore his bicep. Instead of just vacating the titles, they ask Rowan to do another match on smackdown to take the titles off them. gently caress this company

the same reason squarespace and blue apron were on every podcast forever, these companies buy adspace wholesale with podcast networks, so any affiliate podcasts are going to all have the same ads, whether its on conrads ring or jerichos pod network, etc

I think within 6 months the AEW podcast ads are going to be Hollywood Handbook level loving around.

Tony and Aubry are kinda goofy, but I think they are going to start having more fun with it.

Aubrey is a massive nerd, and you could see the fun she was having with the Bucks. Once Tony relaxes into it there's going to be serious fuckery.

This is where my mind starts to wander and I envision them getting Colt Cabana and Sarah Shockey involved and just go pure Wrestling Bang Bang

The release request came vaguely around the time HHH was meeting with everyone in Japan trying to buy an NXT Japan. I really do wonder if HHH thought they were going to buy a company and he could just send him over there to make him happy in their new NXT Japan.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
In the ancient past people under WWE contract were allowed to work in New Japan, I only know this because I googled it around the time that NXT Japan was being considered.

I mean, its just telling whatever lie to get them to re-sign because no one can make you accountable for it after. That's WWE's entire policy and we've seen a ton of cases. WWE would promise you a world title reign, your own private jet, and half the company stocks as long as you're stupid enough to not put it on paper.

Says What a mark and its from WCW when Raven had a bunch of skits where he was some rich kid who was feeling sad. Kanyon was trying to cheer him up i think anyway kanyon took a bump into a pool in one of them and the sandman was his neighbor.

I think the direct context was that at some point Raven reveals that he's putting the whole emo act on to milk money out of his mom. Hence the "What a mark!" smirk to the camera.

I feel like if today AEW did segments where someone like Adam Page was faking sadness and emotional distress with his overbearing rich mom and recognizable wrestlers from his past were suddenly his brother and sister it would be like the hottest wrestling viral thing going. Raven was really ahead of his time.

Also, I forgot he used to be jacked.

For some reason, Wrestlecrap absolutely despised these vignettes and went on and on about how stupid they were and how WCW killed Raven's character because "RAVEN DOESN'T SMILE!"

Everyone hated them at the time. Which is why it really struck me that like if AEW/BTE did it now it would probably get the completely opposite reaction.

Some of that is just probably the time. Raven was an outside the box thinker and like that kind of meta/wink wink kayfabe breaking weirdness was just way outside what people were looking for at the time where now you have like BTE every week doing stuff like that. But some of its also probably just momentum and biases. WCW was disliked and the fail company so stuff they did that you had to bend a bit to appreciate was ripped apart. Do the same thing in a company with positive momentum and people are more flexible.
