When you’re a publicly traded company dependent on the independent contractor business model you are going to avoid saying things like “he was fired for getting sick” or “we exert control over our not-employees outside of business hours”

The marathon not a sprint comes from they will buy up all the talent.

I got a friend of a friend in MPW who is being pursued hard since she appeared on AEW.

Gonna get wild in the coming months. The tag team tournament Wwe is doing is specifically because AEW is the premier destination for tag teams right now and they lost out on Bear Country (who never wanted to go there anyway).

It's also worth noting that while WWE/NXT have bigger and more visible women's divisions, their booking of said divisions is loving terrible and they've ruined more than a few can't-miss prospects in just the past year or two.

I'm not really so down on WWE's women's divisions at all. The matches are good to great, the right people are champions right now and it's arguably the most diverse roster on the planet with every woman's gimmick being totally unique to her. They're pushing Bianca who is a star, they're finally letting Sasha have the superstar run she deserves, and Asuka is the most decorated woman in WWE history. I can't find much to dislike outside of maybe the fact that NXT goes nowhere, but that's not something that can or will ever change. In the meantime some of the NXT's women's matches are among the best of the year regularly. I think the women's wargames match from two years ago is a top 5 war games match in general.

Agreeing with the diversity and that Bianca is something special, but I don't have any confidence in them not loving things up with her the way they did with Rhea Ripley, among others. It's an extension of the problem I have with WWE's booking overall; there's no point getting invested in any of these people because they'll get cooled off the second they get too popular.

That photo just made me realize that if PPA is the latest iteration of the Rick Martel/Rick Rude/Val Venis line, he doesn’t creep on ladies at all, and doesn’t even seem interested in sex, but surrounds himself in the trappings of someone who does?

It’s just such a weird gimmick, in a fun way.

Edit: I can also tell when we’ve had a good Hangman episode because I want to talk about motivations and character decisions rather than the coolest match to fantasy book.

Edit 2: this is not the AEW thread. Whoops!

He seems more interested in male hunks which is kind of a running theme in AEW along with Dark Order

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

That’s who I would’ve guessed. I think everyone they’ve brought in from MPW have potential for sure, but Wrenkowski has seemed most TV ready, would love to see her stick with a TV show I actually watch.
