this is how you can tell Foochs is shook by the Mox loss, needing to be fact checked on Mox-lore?? that would never happen in clear minded circumstances

He owned me about the Brodie Lee deathrider kickout, so I'd say he's still on his game

Mox is a cheater and a coward and got what was coming to him. He should never hold the belt again for what he tried to do to Kenny.

Not really. They never really forgave Impact for how they treated Okada. Plus they have a deal with ROH

Like that ending with Kenny and Callis booking it out of there had that wild chaotic energy that mainstream American wrestling used to have, and it's a lot of fun to have it back.

Kenny Omega storyline buys his own promotion in Canada in Impact because AEW disrespected him or whatever, maybe thats where this is going.

Little known fact, the entire population of Canada is part of Kenny's new stable and you know what?

Emphatically, not really.

TNA had left a bad taste in New Japan's mouth from their run with the Vince Russo-Dixie Carter Brain Trust and it soured their relations for years to come. Several owners later and Don Callis is sneaking into being a power broker in out-wwf wrestling due to his connections to Kenny Omega.

This post tells no lies tbqh.

I'm going to be very slightly shook/paranoid until Mox wins Big Plat again. I still have WWE-related PTSD re: his post top run booking, even though AEW has built a ton of good will wrt booking.

I really think Omega's holding that belt until it's time for The Big Yeehaw so I don't think Mox gets Big Plat again for like, at least a year (but I think he will get it again in his career), but here's the thing about AEW that makes me confident Mox will be fine.

Imagine TNT Champion Jon Moxley.

Imagine AEW Tag Team Champion Jon Moxley.

Both sound pretty loving awesome, right?

AEW is trending heavy on social media. Like explosivo said, I’m seeing a ton of chatter about what happened tonight.

Overall, this is for the best with wrestling. There doesn’t need to be some stupid as gently caress war between fan bases where you gotta protect and STAND UP for one and rip apart the others.

You don’t want to revitalize Impact. Or WWE. or NWA. or AEW.

You want to revitalize wrestling. Help it survive longer and make it relevant somehow.

This is a leap of faith move and a big gamble but poo poo, everybody wins here. Tony is gonna get what he wants out of this. So will Impact. Hell, this is maybe the way to get the NJPW/AEW relationship restarted since Impact and NJPW are tight.

I thought tonight’s episode was decent overall. Wrestlers in different promotions are talking about tonight. It has big eyes on it.

The landscape of wrestling really did just start changing tonight. Little moves, but could bring big results and new eyes and chatter.

I’m here for the ride. I am loving HERE for the betterment of wrestling starting now!

gently caress yeah this is what I'm talking about. Wrestling was almost killed in America. It was to a lot of people. And they are bringing it back. Someone make a meme with all the wrestling companies teaming up to take out Thanos/WWE

Something else I just thought of - AEW commentary name drops NJPW stars all the time. It's like when you have world building moments in something and it pays off a long time later. The audience will know what's happening and it'll be like holy poo poo I know they talked about him showing up but I never thought it would happen

Yeah sorry, I am out of the loop here. Just read up on where things stand. There was an article in November that came out that I misinterpreted.

Here it is for posterity:

quote:

Nothing is impossible in the pro wrestling business. Two wrestling companies who were previously not on the best of terms can mend and improve their partnership. It seems this might happen with NJPW and Impact Wrestling.

The two companies have worked together when Impact Wrestling was known as TNA. NJPW was upset with TNA over their treatment of Kazuchika Okada. He had a brief run in TNA where he was not used well at all, which was not well received. He eventually went on to become the face of NJPW. Now it seems the two promotions are trying to improve their working partnership.

According to a report by Fightful, Rocky Romero and Karl Anderson are positive regarding the future between NJPW and Impact Wrestling. Anderson said that he feels “by Summer of next year some big things will have happened there.”

Anderson and Gallows are on good terms with Gedo as well. Romero added that Chris Bey working the Super J Cup is very important as well.

It was said that Impact Wrestling and NJPW “are friendlier than they’ve been in a long time.”

We will have to see how the partnership develops.

So, in repairs. But I was wrong on my assessment so apologies! Either way, I’ll spin this in a positive direction and say, the wrestling world may take notice of what happened tonight. And we could see this environment become healthier than it has ever been instead of suppressed like it has been.
