Marina's been off TV so long everyone's forgotten how poo poo she is. Tony's booked her for Dynamite so that everyone remembers, he's always one step ahead

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.
Abadon should host Elevation tonight and introduce each match.

Marina has potential but it seems like she really struggles to coordinate her movements with other people. Kinda makes sense for an actual shoot fighter to have problems with that considering the vast majority of her experience with this poo poo comes from opponents attempting to stop her from doing moves on them rather than cooperating

I dont think that's it. Shoot fighters spend a ton more time training than in actual fights. There is a lot of cooperation in martial arts and MMA training, especially when trying out new techniques.

Unfortunately abadon as an attractive woman would have a lot more success if her gimmick didn't involve making herself extremely unattractive. Bray Wyatt wouldn't get over trying to be a von Erich and Kerry would have gone down like a fart in an elevator if he tried the boogeyman gimmick.

1. Abadon is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns

2. they are consistently one of the most over wrestlers in AEW whenever they appear, because their character rules, and the only thing stopping them from being successful is that TK isn't booking them for TV

It's like goldy or bronzy, but made of iron.


I think a possible problem Abadon faces is that as a nonverbal singles character it's sometimes tough for them to build a story. It's notable to me that my favourite Abadon moment is when they teamed with Ryo Mizunami as they had someone to properly play off.

Thinking about that, I'm wondering if you could have them team with Max The Impaler as a kind of "non binary horror monsters" team. This is partly because I want to see people react to Max like Pom Harajuku did.

Yeah the Joshi seem to get and know how to react to Abadon. I'm pretty sure I saw them put on a decent dark match with Emi once too.
There was that cute photoshoot storyline with Britt getting zombified after the last Halloween match with Abadon too.
I also think it's cool that every time I see Abadon they're getting better and also in better shape, and from what I've heard have Danhausen & MJF levels of dedication to being in character when in makeup.

quote:

The problem is that the promotion is ultimately a vanity project for the EVPs. Keep in mind that AEW has a bunch of idiots in charge who'd rather keep themselves in the limelight. The Punk situation highlights it.

Punk is a blowhard who overestimated his ability to draw a big crowd to WWE but is the type of talent who can increase AEWs reach. Like it or not, his segments seemed to do better than any segment involving Bucks or Omega.

The facts are that the Executive Vice Presidents stable accompanied by their, off screen valet and legal head, barged into a locker room and engaged Punk in a fight with the wife of Ace Steel present in response to things that the talent said in a company sanctioned and broadcasted event right next to Tony who could at any point have cut the cameras. The talent's main complaint was that certain talent, mainly Page, were bringing up personal legal matters and implying Punk got Colton fired. He then is upset that the stable of EVPs didn't squash that.

The EVPs then got mad at Punk for doing the same thing Page did - talking on screen at work - and engaged Punk in a fight.

And people actually think Punk is somehow the desperate one in this situation when he could file a civil suit against a billionaire who is ultimately in charge of his EVPs and legal head

What swerves are they even referring to? The only ones I can think of recently are Garcia siding with the JAS where he could have gone either way and it would have worked, and MJF and the Firm which again can work both ways since he's both claiming to want to do things properly and is also literally calling himself the Devil and using the "the biggest trick the Devil ever pulled" quote. It's not like they're doing things to deliberately trick the fans.

I don't think this person actually pays attention to the shows, and when they do they start with the perspective of "Everyone in this company is awful and stupid and everything they do is bad." so when things happen that have been built up to for months, to him they're 'out of nowhere'. At least that's my best guess.

so which dumbass wrestling personality decided to describe the head of legal as a valet because that's some serious levels of twisting poo poo to suit a narrative. what does 'off screen valet' even mean.
