No, I think that was the last time too. Apparently it wasn't even a wrestler, it was someone on the production staff.

Billy Corgan says Impact Wrestling stole talent from him, Cody Rhodes vs. Nick Aldis III is possible if Tony Khan calls him

Someone delete Billy’s number from Tony’s phone immediately

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.

That's the last time I remember taped spoilers but they also hyped it up as one of the best women's matches on American soil and refused to give spoilers on it. And it delivered.

He is, but this isn't even unique to him, it's a recurring problem in the industry. People were so sure only Hogan-sized wrestlers could get over while Bret Hart was white-hot, then people were sure you had to look like The Rock or Brock Lesnar to matter when Eddie Guerrero and Chris Jericho were becoming icons, and again with Cena and now again despite having more evidence than ever it's insane. I wasn't even alive then but I'd bet the same conversations happened about fuckin' Nick Bockwinkel.

Billy Corgan isn't uniquely dumb to believe this, he's uniquely dumb because he thinks it makes Nick Aldis a draw in the waiting.

I think it was someone asking if he’d sign Brock if he were available and the answer was like of course, any promoter in the world would

A lot of the most over guys in AEW right now are not only under six feet, they're under 200 pounds. JR was right when he said that star potential can't be measured in pounds or inches and it's weird that so many people still think otherwise.

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

Yeah, Khan was like "I'd sign Brock if ticket gates still existed to justify the cost, but they don't"

Darby is like 5'5" and 150lbs soaking wet, is crushingly over, and is booked regularly to whip dudes twice his size. Sometimes I like to think about how Vince would have used him and I laugh and laugh

Tony said he wouldn't sign Brock when crowds were back because he had already signed Brock and he's beating Kenny at the first Dynamite back on the road.

Exactly! There's also Jungle Boy, Orange Cassidy, the Lucha Bros, and so on. Then you have guys like John Silver who is super jacked but also very short, which would have made him a laughingstock on WWE TV.

If you described how WWE would use Silver vs how AEW would uses the general description is very much the same but the reality is very different.
