Vince probably told Inoki to form NJPW back in 72 brother!

If you rearrange the letters in "Vince" you get "Inec V" which if you read aloud sounds quite similar to Inoki, wouldn't you agree?

The implication is talent trades with them. Clearly NJPW couldn't survive without Vince graciously lending them the top gaijin talent

AEW's been around 3 years but yes now is the time that Tony Khan will have to step up to the plate and make a decision

-- Got a TNT deal, then re-negotiated an even better deal during a pandemic
-- Poached Jericho/Moxley/Danielson/Cole/many others away from competitive WWE offers
-- Lured Punk out of retirement
-- Consistently pulls 100k+ PPV buys and sellout arenas

I dunno Tony still has a lot to prove as a businessman

Also it's been discussed before but it really is amazing how WWE brain poisoning has made these people think that constant mass-firings are just, normal for wrestling and that the fact that AEW hasn't gone on firing sprees is a sign that Tony Khan is an idiot loser dumbfuck who doesn't understand how the business works and is spending his company into an early grave.

Despite the fact that, as as established earlier in this thread, the only time any other companies really do this sort of thing is when they're actually going out of business.

This isn't aimed at any one particular tweeter or anything, but you know what really loving sucks?

Every time the WWE does one of these mass releases, Dana Brooke ends up trending on Twitter because you have scores of people going HURR WHY DIDN'T THEY RELEASE DANA BROOKE THIS TIME?

Shut the hell up, assholes. Stop calling for the blood of someone who (afaik) is harmless and doesn't deserve to lose her job just because you don't like her.

It’s funny to me because Satin isn’t just a fan, he works for Fox! Why not ask somebody in WWE what’s going on Ryan?!

Normally I'd say that attractive white blondes are always safe in WWE, but they just got rid of Taya, Scarlett and Lana so who the gently caress knows anymore

We are maximum of six months from WWE bringing someone up from NXT and releasing them on the same day.

How many people are left on the roster now that couldn't either be considered WWE homegrown, or weren't already prominent in another notable fed? There can't be that many left. A lot of the people on these lists made their names elsewhere, and it seems like they're still gradually shifting to in-house talent only.

NXT still has Johnny/Ciampa/O'Reilly/Io as basically the last holdovers from the Hunter era. I'm sure they all have standing offers from AEW the moment they're available (or in Io's case, a standing offer from Bushiroad which is practically begging to get her back into Stardom).

How are these people so loving bad at watching TV? They literally said it out loud on Dynamite: Danielson is going through the Dark Order to piss off Page and to hurt his friends to provoke him. And to show off, because he feels like he's on a whole other level compared to Page and the Dark Order, so he can just take them apart at his leisure and then finish the coup de grâce by taking Hangman's belt.

He's only over because the character was on Big Bang Theory. They should change the premise to have him not be Sheldon and see if he gets over then!

The only thing that makes no sense about that angle is that Hangman has no reason not to just say "OK let's do the title match next week". I know they don't want to pull the trigger on the match super fast but it's weird to think Hangman would just allow his buddies to get mauled by Danielson instead of protecting them by just doing the match sooner

It's not that big a deal though because it results in more good wrestling matches

that was in the promo directly, bryan didn't want hangman to have any excuses and wanted to give him time to rest up so hangman's fresh and ready when bryan beats him for the title

The combat sports promoter isn't just going to give away his big match with no build for the sake of protecting some low-card guys. Hangman Page and the Dark Order are sadly at the mercy of money-hungry Tony Khan
