I honestly didn't want them to be running it when I found out people brought their children and they were getting kicked in the face.

so aew didn't want him, he's making that obvious lol

At the start of the pandemic, he openly shat on Evil Uno for telling fans to support indie workers who couldn't work because of there being no shows, so of course he isn't going to be welcomed into AEW.

At first I thought it was smart when Adam Scherr was charging such a big appearance fee, but it's clear now that he vastly overestimated the appetite there was for him on the indies. Braun Strowman seemed like a big star to me when he was fired, but it's clear his value did not carry outside the WWE.

Have they said who's on the card for the 31st? I remember seeing some rumor that Cardona was on the card, I think Broski will wrestle anywhere for a check, but I can't find any details about the card and it's probably fake. Since I'm only seeing Adam Scherr, EC3, and Killer Kross on the card so far, I'm just imagining it's going to be Alphacon Dallas where they tell the attendees that chairs are for beta cucks to sit in while they watch their wives get banged by alphas. Men who control their narratives stand tall and pay $25 for the honor.

The play fighting stuff is especially funny given it's a guy who was getting slimed with Nickelodeon Gak by Shane McMahon last year and has spent most of his career in goofy swamp child tag champ choo choo train territory

Also shows that being a featured attraction in WWE and winning at multiple Wrestlemanias means absolutely nothing for being able to draw as an independent wrestler if you have no actual fanbase.

The only one of the three that has ever been entertaining is ECIII and only as Derrick Bateman. lol that Scarlett Bordeaux is staying far away from being associated with this even with Kross in it

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

This went from entertainingly insane to just the regular kind of right-wing grifter insane pretty quickly.

Double lol at Strowman very carefully avoiding criticizing WWE, though. Gotta keep that Rumble nostalgia spot dream alive.

Cardona did the first version of whatever this is so he’s not averse to working with EC3 at least.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

This was clear the moment he was released when immediate emotional reaction was he'd be an ok pick up for Impact. That was the ceiling we had for him.

Jul 27, 2006

i can't find a source on this but i am 100% believing it. if it's fake don't tell me

quote:

Braun Strowman was really close to signing with Impact, to the point that he had been sent a contract. It looked like a done deal until he demanded creative control over his booking to be added to the contract, and when negotiating this with Anthem, revealed that he wanted the Impact title in his debut match, or he wouldn't sign. He also had a list of people he would not lose to, including people like Kenny Omega who were long no longer part of the company, as well as Moose, Josh Alexander, Christian Cage, or ANYONE formerly employed by WWE. Impact wouldn't give him this, and the offer was rescinded. He is making much much less in CYN, but wants to continue his mainstream acting career also (he was in one movie).

He also only ever existed in WWE and was treated as a big deal basically the entire time he was there so he's got a big head because of that, too. Just an overall dope!
