I know it is an absolute pipe dream, but they should bring in Emil Jay or J-Rose to do the intro.

(for as packed as the show is, they do not have time, nor do they likely have the inclination. Just please don't let Justin Roberts do it.)

That's what I did when I saw Black Widow and it was totally fine (it helps that I don't get snacks or drinks at movies) and it's sure as poo poo what I'll be doing in September at Dynamite and Rampage.

Yeah I was talking to a friend about this yesterday, it's really nice seeing all these wrestlers having fun what they do and getting rewarded for it. I still keep waiting for the curtain to fall and actually it's horrible and everyone's miserable and hates each other but other than Ivellise who actually just sucks nobody has said anything of the sort.

Imagine a wrestling company people actually like to work at, instead of being one that treats everyone like absolute dogshit and they just kinda roll over and take it cause they've decided there's literally no other options.

Good interview, some interesting stuff here. Nick Gage seems like Tony's idea and he basically confirms Bryan and Punk by refusing to comment.

quote:

Q: Was it Andrade’s idea to make the Guerrero connection or is that something you guys put in once he got there?

A: It was his idea to make the connection with the Guerreros and he had asked about using Vickie. It was my idea to bring in Chavo. I thought Chavo would really add something. I’d seen Chavo recently on an independent show. He was in great shape and we had talked about associating because Andrade El Idolo comes from a very famous wrestling family.

He wanted to be associated with that (the Guerreros) and Vickie was here. As we went on I wanted to add something to the presentation and I couldn’t put my finger on what, and then I saw Chavo on an independent show and I just had a light bulb moment.

Once again Tony fixed the bad decision.

Yeah, on paper there's nothing wrong with having DQ's and Count-Outs if they make sense for the story that's being told. The problem is that WWE uses them CONSTANTLY as a cop-out to set up a rematch for next week because every single show is the same loving thing over and over and over again. On top of that, WWE will do a show that has 8 matches and 6 of them end in a DQ/CO because they're weird obsession with getting HEAT at all times means there can never, ever, EVER be a clean finish to anything.

AEW hasn't shown any signs of wanting to be like that, so it's not really a worry at this juncture.

Fuego Del Sol is going to do a Reddit AMA, and I thought this was interesting:

quote:

In the interest of fairness (even though personally I think he's signed) I do want to bring up two things.

#1) Fuego and us got in contact last tuesday, before the Wednesday taping

and probably most important

#2) For Contracted AEW and WWE people we have to go through their PR people usually. We've actually had an AEW person in the past scheduled for an AMA that got canceled like one day before the announcement because they got signed and the pr thing wanted it now to go through them. Now that was within the first year of stuff so things might have changed but idk.
