Honestly at this point I wouldn't be surprised if AEW just doesn't sign any of the women that have been released cause they just don't seem to give a poo poo at this point. Bo Dallas has a better chance of showing up on Dynamite than the Iiconics at this stage in the game.

Something Awful, so easy even a spaceman can do it!


The only ones I am excited about seeing in AEW are the IIconics, Ruby, Kalisto and Daniel Bryan. I am iffy on Aleister Black. Originally I was pumped but his weird comments about his character after he left has made me a little weary on him.

aew is in stage 3-1. it's got some poo poo in the sky, one of them white platforms you can drop down behind, and chunky gold bricks to break along with their own p-switch. finally there's that tall pipe where if you go in it, there's the number three 'written' in coins. great level

Hangman is going to kick out of the one-winged angel but lose.

that sounds bad rear end. hangman kicks out of the one winged angel and then kenny holds up 3 fingers at the ref and immediately pins him again and wins the match from that pin.

No you see, AEW paired a top talent with a jobber who's there to get beat up and eat the pin, and now the women's division is ruined forever and retroactively has become Always Bad.

I'm just saying I have reservations about the companies plans for the women's division when they best they can do on the big show before they go on the road is a Vickie Guerrero match.

It wasn't a Vickie Guerrero match ffs, she basically didn't even do anything. It was a Nyla Rose match and Vickie was there because someone not named Nyla had to eat the pin.

It was a match between the champion and her clear challenger with their wacky sidekicks to keep the actual title match as being special.

I'm surprised at all the love for the IIconics. They seem like cool people and I remember them being pretty entertaining before I quit watching WWE, but I wouldn't call the must-haves or anything.

But hey, maybe I missed out on a lot of good poo poo from them!

like it's hosed they didn't have a yuka video package like we got in cleveland. and we should have gotten more women's matches and the Young Bucks and Team Taz can get booted onto YouTube.

I honestly thought Britt looked good in that match. Mostly by comparison, but I think Nyla vs. Britt will be good.

The Nyla/Britt title match is in like 3 weeks. You need some poo poo to build until then. It can't all be throwing cheeseburgers.

In a Heel vs Heel feud that they're doing because the only babyfaces they have put any time into are the one that the champion just beat and the one who doesn't even work there yet. Not saying Britt vs Nyla will be a bad match, but it's the only thing resembling a big match they have cause that's the corner they booked themselves into.

Nyla Rose vs. Dr. Britt Baker is being booked because Nyla Rose has a win over her. Yuka Sakazaki is coming to America this month to face Dr. Baker because Yuka Sakazaki beat her. It's kind of clear the Britt Baker story is going to involve her going through and defeating the people who beat her in AEW, and that has to start with Nyla Rose because it is meant to end on Thunder Rosa.

One time a guy stole some downhill skis out of my jeep and I was so mad I punched a mailbox. I'm against crime, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
Darby not being allowed to touch Page seems to open up the door for an epic beat down on Sting next week.

Just off the top of my head they have at the very least Tay, Kris Stat and Riho as babyfaces they could easily slot into a title program.

i think it's a huge overreaction to say aew isn't going to sign any more women or that their mistakes are the true reality while the high points for the division are false and don't mean anything. there needs to be a stronger voice advocating for women and actual focus on them that makes sense in aew for sure but there will be a lot of great moments to come. there will be a lot of everything. will smith killed tupac

The issue is what does Britt do after that? They get a few weeks doing the the Nyla feud, then Yuka is there but they already said she's only in the states through July so at best that feud can only really amount to "Yuka shows up, Britt beats her, Yuka leaves again." That leaves like a full 5 months until Rosa is free to sign with AEW, so what do they do til then?

Everyone seems to have forgotten, or just not care, that they were absolutely dire in the ring. Funny as gently caress though.

I've really come around on Britt as champ in the past couple weeks. When you dont care about the champion, it's really easy to not care about the unceasing women's division discourse.

Build some more challengers? You know, the thing AEW is actually really good at?
