Is there a reason people are floating RD Evans as Jade's manager?

Jade's doing a manager hunt and I really like him as a character guy.

Didn't RD Evans do something problematic recently? I don't know if it was speaking out levels, but I feel like I saw his name come up with something negative at some point and being really bummed out. Could totally be thinking of a different wrestling jerk, though.

the Tay Conti aew Unrestricted interview is pretty good.

Tay Conti was convinced into buying a house while in nxt. they sure know how to get hooks in to a person.
Tay holds back and had a good attitude but it's clear how poorly she was treated while there.

Lol, they're still doing that grift, eh? I think I remember hearing about in the '90s, the WWE had special relationships with certain real estate agents who knew exactly the price point to get the wrestlers to so they'd be stuck having to work for Vince for a number of years to stay afloat on the mortgage. Nothing ludicrous, but enough that if you were responsible, you'd stick it out.

I'm going to say I reacted that way intially but I think maybe she was saying she was let go and then spent her savings on a house and car, since it came conversationally after discussing the nxt release and kinda sounded like that. She mentioned her family is very poor and buying a house felt like a huge thing to her. Dunno, either way, it did at least sound like something she really wanted.

The other stuff she said is more damning though. This is a beautiful competitive performer with a great humble attitude that learned English while at the PC and still speaks well of much of her training... But it took a few months out of the PC to shine. More than anything I get the feeling the PC's inability to fit people to styles that suit them just points out the whole thing is a joke.

Tay is brutally honest though and a little emotional in parts. Didn't know her father growing up, misses her family, is in therapy and the therapist believes she's naturally tight with -1 since she knows about not having a father. Also admits -1 helps her at times and takes his time in AEW really seriously, which is super cute. Real good pod.

I AM SPUTNIK'S PARACHUTE ACCOUNT
I want a AEW Trios tournament, so I hope the rumours are true. They can call up SNK, and ask to homage the King of Fighters, if they really want to make my day:

Teams (trying to feature guys who need it):

Best Friends: Chuck/Trent?/Orange

The O Factory: Ogogo/Comoroto/Soloh

Nightmare Family: Cody/Big Dustin/Lee Johnson

Pinnacle: Dax/Cash/Spears

Dark Order: Uno/Stu/Colt

The Good, The Bad and the Hungee: Reynolds/Silver/Hangman

Wingmen (Pretty Picture): JD Drake/Nemeth/Bononi

Death Triangle: Fenix/PAC/Penta

The Hybrid... 3!: Angelico/Evans/Matt Sydal

Inner Circle: Ortiz/Santana/Sammy

The Elite: Matt/Nick/Cutler

Team Taz: Cage/Hobbs/Hook

Big Money Players: Matt Hardy/Quen/Kassidy

Women's Team: Ryo/Leyla Hirsch/T. Rosa (Wearing moustaches; because women can't wrestle men in AEW, or something)

Jurassic Express: Jungle Boy/Luchasaurus/Stunt

Team Murder Coffin: Darby/Archer/Sting

And I still feel like I missed people and teams, even with 16. (Butcher/Blade, Scorpio/Ethan, Five and Ten, Janela and Kiss, Top Flight)

This would cook, and you can have big upsets with designated pin eaters, and I WANT IT.

I can't remember who told it to Kevin Nash, but he was told to buy the best house in the city he grew up in with cash and the wrestling business would never own you again, so Nash bought a nice house in Detroit and he never stopped making money.

I know that Xia Li and Kairi shared a small apartment in Florida and a couple other NXT stars had apartments in the same complex but Kairi already had money and was just living pretty modestly with her best friend at the time.

I'm pretty sure Tay said she bought the house after she left WWE because Aubrey was really confused how she did that when she didn't have a job. Either way the house and car are things she is really happy about and didn't portray as anchors. She's really up front about WWE treating her poorly, not giving her a release, making her miserable, etc so if she felt tricked into buying a house I think she'd have said so.

This might also explain how they were able to give a house away at the first In Your House
