Rehabilitating sinner

Cornwind Evil posted:



On January 1st, 2019, Cody would appear at a press conference to announce the formation of a brand new ‘wrestling organization’, All Elite Wrestling, backed by billionaire Tony Khan. With the first shows planned to debut in the spring, Cody reached out to his brother. The WWE had seen nothing of worth in them. Maybe Dustin should consider going somewhere that did. One that would at least TRY to avoid the pitfalls that the likes of Jarrett and Dixie Carter did that destroyed any hope the only other company that could be called a competitor to the WWE, that being TNA. Dustin agreed, and so on May 25th, at the inaugural AEW PPV, Double Or Nothing, he would face his brother, once again ‘The Natural’ and wearing an outfit split down the middle, one side of his face unpainted and one side painted up in Goldust esque patterns as a nod to the two versions of himself that he’d brought to the dance the most. And free of any restrictions that the WWE might have forced them into, given complete creative freedom to have the match they’d wanted to have years earlier and been denied, both brothers clearly intended to knock it out of the park.

They did.




Great stuff man.

It's crazy to read about things and recall it as I do various bits was around for.

It was quite sad to see in the WWE that Goldust had little value to him, despite his age he was coming off as good if not better than a lot of others. His moves were smooth. I started to root for him to get more time due to his skill, of course it being the WWE we all know how that goes.

He's finally been able to get the respect he deserved in AEW, especially with that awesome match with Cody. That was great. One more reason I went all AEW and basically gave up on WWE for the last decade outside of bits here and there before dropping off again because Vince would Vince.

Where Cody is now concerned betting he'll be built up to the next Wrestlemania and win on the big show.

Since this is Vince, Cody might lose five minutes later to whoever has the briefcase but hey you know what they say.

It's WWE.

Austin was the advanced guard of the Angry White Dude that took over media as a counterpoint to Girl Power/Bubblegum Pop. Without that, you probably have DX becoming somewhat of a Mini NWO with its anti-authority shtik bringing in people to the fold.

The Rock would probably be in his own orbit.

Maybe we get a nice HHH betrayal as he goes over to the Authority. Maybe we find out DX was in on it from the start to root out anti-Mcmahon forces.

What the work schedule like for a low to mid card guy with a major organization? Like it is two shows a week, and would they fly to most locations or travel with the trucks moving the show equipment? Do they have it set up so they can go home for a few weeks every few months? Does WWE have a trailer with nothing but workout equipment or do they rent a local gym?


Not sure if it's still the same but pretty much everyone in the WWE used to be on the road for 300+ days a year doing house shows and maybe tv shows if you were a jobber/mid carder. And you're probably driving to at least half those shows. The work schedule in WWE is why a lot of the top guys went into WCW during the Monday night wars, they got way more time off in WCW.

No idea how many house shows WWE still does and I'm pretty sure AEW does only a handful so maybe it's a bit better travel-wise.

Also thanks Cornwind, the Cody-Dustin match was before I started watching AEW so I had never seen it. I found the full match somewhere and wow that was loving fantastic. I hope they had a unit of blood for Dustin backstage afterwards because he probably needed it.

Brock! Oh, man, I'm sorry about your...

...tooth?


There's an AEW PPV this Sunday, so here are all the matches for Double or Nothing along with the build.

MJF (C) VS. SAMMY GUEVARA VS. JUNGLE BOY VS. DARBY ALLIN

AEW Championship


Since AEW started, there were four young wrestlers considered the pillars of the company. Four wrestlers who were not really known outside of the company, but rose up the ranks and made their names known while helping carry the promotion. These are the Four Pillars of AEW. Britt Baker is also considered a pillar, but they don’t do intergender stuff, so ignore that.

After defeating Bryan Danielson at the last PPV, MJF was immediately challenged by the other three pillars. Three men who he doesn’t like, but he does respect and see as his peers. You have three-time TNT Champion Sammy Guevara. Two-time TNT Champion Darby Allin. Former AEW Tag Team Champion “Jungle Boy” Jack Perry. They have all faced each other over the years, but each one considers himself ready to dethrone MJF.

At first, the idea was going to be a mini-tournament to crown a winner. Sammy vs. Jungle Boy with the winner facing Darby. MJF helped Sammy win against Jungle Boy and made a deal with him where if it ended up MJF vs. Sammy at Double or Nothing, Sammy would get paid a ridiculous amount of money to take a dive. The two became very fake, but very energetic best friends after that. MJF helped Sammy against Darby as well, but Tony Khan wasn’t happy. MJF and Sammy would face Jungle Boy and Darby in a tag match. If MJF/Sammy won, the singles match would go on as planned. If they lost, it would be a four-way match.

MJF and Sammy’s relationship imploded during the match and they lost. Now MJF is acting like his back is against the wall while the other three have been trying to gain momentum through their own matches. While Sammy has been acting more like a fiery face in the lead-up, Jungle Boy has become increasingly shady, such as desperately winning a match via cheating in the same way MJF once beat him.

JAMIE HAYTER (C) VS. TONI STORM

AEW Women’s Championship


Back at Full Gear in November, Toni Storm lost the championship to Jamie Hayter. The whole situation was frustrating for Storm, as at the time she was only considered the “interim champion” due to Thunder Rosa dropping the title due to injury and her title run was only considered official after the fact. Adding to that, Storm was the face in the match and people were cheering Hayter for her use of cheating and outside interference.

Saraya, formerly known as Paige in WWE, showed up and started a feud with Hayter’s friend Britt Baker. This led to the creation of the Outcasts, where Toni Storm, Saraya, and eventually Ruby Soho would become a women’s version of the nWo while spray-painting their fallen opponents and acting like big deals for being famous outside of AEW.

Hayter and Britt have since brought in Hikaru Shida to help even the odds and at Double or Nothing, Storm gets another shot at winning back her title. The problem is that Hayter is pretty banged up right now, so her chances of leaving the show as champion are small.

FTR (C) VS. JEFF JARRETT AND JAY LETHAL

AEW Tag Team Championship with Mark Briscoe as Special Referee


Jay Lethal and Mark Briscoe go back a long way and when Lethal suggested they work together, Mark was for it. Then Lethal’s entire heel stable ran in to celebrate and Mark was having second thoughts. Too bad he couldn’t get a word in edgewise.

FTR have also been rather close to Mark and when a heel tag team brutalized Mark backstage, FTR were just as concerned for his wellbeing as Lethal and his buddies pretended to be. FTR ended up working alongside Lethal and Jarrett due to Mark’s suggestion, but the two sides definitely did not get along. With FTR being tag champs, it was very obvious that Lethal and Jarrett wanted a shot.

Lethal, Jarrett, and their stablemates Sonjay Dutt and Satnam Singh tried to get in Mark's good graces by working on his farm for a day. When the time came to challenge FTR, they suggested Mark to be the referee. Lethal then spat alcohol into Dax Harwood’s face, blinding him. In this state, Dax accidentally grabbed Mark and took him down with a piledriver.

Mark is still pissed about it, but he’s also openly pissed at Lethal for his manipulations. Right now, it looks like the special referee is mad at everyone involved.

WARDLOW (C) VS. CHRISTIAN CAGE

Ladder Match for TNT Championship


After getting Arn Anderson as his manager, Wardlow has been able to win back the TNT Championship from Powerhouse Hobbs. Immediately after, Luchasaurus walked out accompanied by Christian Cage. From the looks of things, we were going to get another hoss-off down the line with Wardlow vs. Luchasaurus.

Instead, Christian was the one interested in the title match. Christian pissed off Wardlow by making fun of his dead dad, but when Wardlow dared Christian to spit in his face, a brawl broke out and the two-on-one advantage took Wardlow out. Christian announced that their match would be a ladder match and proceeded to hit the Killswitch on Wardlow on a ladder.

JADE CARGILL (C) VS. TAYA VALKYRIE

TBS Championship


Newcomer Taya Valkyrie is the latest challenger to get in Jade’s way as her undefeated streak just keeps going and going. The feud has centered around how Taya’s finisher, the Road to Valhalla, is exactly the same as Jade’s finisher Jaded.

When Jade agreed to a title match, her lawyer Smart Mark Sterling had it ruled that Taya was unable to use the Road to Valhalla, as the move was Jade’s property. When Taya had the opening to use the move, she froze up a bit and became confused, allowing Jade to reverse it and win. Afterwards, Taya attacked the referee and was suspended.

Jade started having a string of consecutive matches against jobbers for the sake of building up her streak. Taya made a surprise appearance, punched out one of the challengers, and laid out Jade. She said that they were going to have a rematch and this time her finisher was no longer off the table.

BLACKJACK BATTLE ROYAL

International Championship

Orange Cassidy (C), Ricky Starks, The Butcher, The Blade, Bandido, Komander, Lee Moriarty, Big Bill, Ari Daivari, Tony Nese, Chuck Taylor, Trent Beretta, Kip Sabian, Rey Fénix, Penta El Zero Miedo, Swerve Strickland, Brian Cage, Jay White, Juice Robinson, Keith Lee, and Dustin Rhodes


Ever since winning the International Championship (formerly the All-Atlantic Championship), Orange has gone against type to prove himself as the most fightingest champion in AEW history. More and more, he has been taking every challenge against him and has come out on top. These days, he’s taking on too many challengers. It seems like he has another title match every week and his body is getting more and more banged up. His right hand is barely holding on and his ribs aren’t doing so hot either. He’s exhausted, but he keeps going.

At one point, he laid out an open challenge at Double or Nothing. Minutes later, he found out that 20 wrestlers went to Tony Khan to accept that challenge. Orange shrugged it off and decided that he’d take them all on in a battle royal.

QT Marshall is trying to use this as an avenue to get his client Powerhouse Hobbs back in any kind of title picture (else Hobbs may beat the poo poo out of him). Ricky Starks is also in it, though he’s been having problems with Bullet Club members Juice Robinson and Jay White, who promise to keep ruining his life. As for Keith Lee and Swerve Strickland, those two have been feuding for forever without a singles match to settle things yet. Probably because covid hosed up Keith Lee’s lungs, mostly relegating him to tag matches.

THE HOUSE OF BLACK (C) VS. ???

Open House Match for the AEW Trios Championship


After winning the trios titles from the Elite, the House of Black fell back into the shadows until returning with a new way to defend their belts. Regularly, the trio will offer title defenses as part of their Open House rules. The match includes a 20 count when wrestlers are out of the ring, no rope breaks, rad lighting effects, and a “dealer’s choice” where the challengers can add their own stipulation. So far, Malakai Black, Brody King, and Buddy Murphy have been dominant.

Their opponents for the PPV are most likely the Acclaimed, who have not only been on a tear in trios matches in the last month, but they won a trios battle royal. Then again, there’s always the possibility of the Dark Order challenging, as they have nothing planned for the show.

BLACKPOOL COMBAT CLUB VS. THE ELITE

Anarchy in the Arena


A feud between Hangman Adam Page and Jon Moxley kept expanding more and more due to their rematches constantly upping the ante. Even though Hangman won their last battle, Moxley and his buddies at the Blackpool Combat Club refused to let things go. Unfortunately, Hangman’s buddies in the Dark Order have not been on the level of BCC and have not been able to be the best backup.

During a brawl with the BCC, Hangman ended up in the ring with Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks, who had just taken part in a trios title match. Hangman’s history with those three is long and rocky, but he at least made some peace with the Bucks. The Elite scared off the BCC, but it was apparent that Omega was not interested in rekindling his friendship with Hangman. His manager Don Callis even helped keep that rift in play by making it seem like Hangman accidentally attacked him.

The BCC started ambushing their enemies to divide them. The Bucks were hospitalized. Hangman went after the BCC alone (the Dark Order went home early, not knowing what he had planned, and now Hangman refuses to speak with them) and got a screwdriver shoved into his eye socket. Don Callis got beaten up by BCC so badly that he has a deep scar on his forehead. His new protégé Konosuke Takeshita also took a screwdriver to the head.

To make matters worse for Kenny Omega, when he had a cage match with Moxley, Callis showed up and stabbed Kenny in the head with a screwdriver. Seems he’s either in cahoots with the BCC or he simply no longer wants to associate with Kenny for petty reasons.

Hangman made his return to aid Kenny and the Bucks against the BCC and drove them out of the ring. Hangman announced that together they are once again the Elite and that they will face off in an Anarchy in the Arena match. It's a brutal falls count anywhere team vs. team match that Moxley and Bryan Danielson were involved in a year prior.

ADAM COLE VS. CHRIS JERICHO

Unsanctioned Match with Sabu as the guest enforcer


Adam Cole had to take a lot of time off due to a bad couple of concussions. When he returned, Daniel Garcia asked to be his first opponent. Cole beat him in the main event of Dynamite and afterwards, Garcia’s mentor Chris Jericho appeared, angry at the attention Cole was getting for his win. Jericho was even more mad when he beat Keith Lee in a match, only for Cole to come out and comfort Lee, stealing the focus.

Cole tried to tell Jericho that he was a longtime fan, but Jericho thought little of Cole. Cole’s girlfriend Britt Baker appeared and slapped Jericho, but then the Outcasts showed up and viciously beat Britt down with a kendo stick while Jericho had Cole handcuffed to the ropes. This pissed Cole off enough that he’d constantly attack Jericho, even during Cole’s own matches. Jericho figured he would just get a restraining order where Cole is not allowed to be in the building at the same time as him.

One of Cole’s good friends Roderick Strong debuted around this time and challenged Jericho to a falls count anywhere match where the rest of the Jericho Appreciation Society were banned. Jericho agreed, but it turned out that Strong was tricking him. Once the fight went outside, there was nothing stopping Cole from getting to Jericho and helping Strong win the match.

Furious, Jericho ripped up the restraining order and agreed to a PPV match with Cole. Cole responded by entering the building and once again going after Jericho.

A week later, the two signed the contract. Jericho pointed out that he had a whole stable of followers while Cole just had Strong. Cole revealed that he got motherfucking Sabu to be there to keep the JAS at bay.

ETHAN PAGE AND THE GUNNS VS. THE HARDY BROTHERS AND HOOK

If Matt Hardy’s team wins, he gets ownership of Ethan Page’s contract


Long ago, Stokely Hathaway of the Firm revealed that he owned the contracts of Matt Hardy’s proteges Private Party. As Private Party did not want this, a match was put together between Isiah Kassidy and Ethan Page where if Kassidy won, Private Party would be free, but if he lost, Stokely would also own the contract of Matt Hardy. So of course Ethan Page won.

While things were rough in the beginning, Matt started to become a pretty good friend to Ethan. He earned his trust and was able to convince him to support the Firm in making match stipulations that would blow up in their faces, such as causing Stokely to have a singles match against Hook. Matt eventually turned against Ethan in a match against Hook.

Hardy was able to win his contract back, as well as Private Party’s. This culminated in a pre-taped Firm Deletion match on the Hardy Compound where Matt, Jeff, Kassidy, and Hook beat down Ethan, Stokely, Big Bill, and Lee Moriarty. Ethan went off the deep end a bit after this and joined with fellow Firm members the Gunns. If they lose to Matt’s team in a six-man tag, Matt gets Ethan’s contract.

Ethan led an ambush on his opponents and messed up Kassidy’s neck. Though the Hardy brothers were prepared to do 2-on-3, Kassidy named Hook as his replacement.

my first adult exposure to Jim Cornette was in the new NWA before he said some racist poo poo and got canned. Funny enough, NWA is a complete steaming pile of poo poo now from everything I've seen, so there's that

I'd love a write up of Jim Cornette hijinks honestly

I don't think there's a lot of "hijinx" per se. Jim Cornette's thing is saying offensive poo poo and NEVER apologizing or backing down. The worst example probably being his anti-Muslim rant for pure sustained vitriol. He got fired from the NWA for saying that a wrestler was "braver than a man bicycling across Ethiopia with a bucket of fried chicken on his back." I might have gotten the exact quote wrong, but the thing was he absolutely refused to apologize or acknowledge that it was racist.

A lot of people - and this is wrestling, so it really is A LOT - have probably said and done worse things than him, but he remains so hated in real life because he is constantly running his mouth and he absolutely refuses to back down.

Hulk Hogan, who is constantly apologizing, mitigating, and bullshitting is an interesting contrast, I think. He is probably objectively a worse human being than Jim Cornette, but he's not an argumentative psychopath. I believe Jim Cornette would actually murder someone out of a fit of rage.

A grown man fake-wrestling a blow up doll will send him in a fit of rage (Kenny Omega).

This is where people will bring up that Jim Cornette wrestled a ninja turtle. He says the difference was that it was deliberately presented as A GUY DRESSED UP as a ninja turtle. The whole point was to embarrass him because he was getting beat up by this clown.

Yeah Jim that's very nuanced buddy

It's a lot of that but I think he is still nuts independent of that environment. For instance, I recently listened to him tell a story about a car that had an accident next to his property. It swerved off the road and rolled into his fence. Terrible accident. Once he realzed they survived, his reaction was to curse them out on the spot for loving up his fence.

Cat Hatter posted:

When Brock and Shelton Benjamin were working in OVW, they had a program against the Disciples of Synn, a stable led by Cornette's girlfriend at the time and future wife, Synn. They had a spot they'd do every match where Synn would get into the ring and get in Brock's face, and Brock would give her the gorilla press slam.

Synn got her piercing and came to Brock that morning and went 'look, I just got a piercing down there, when you do the slam tonight don't grab me by the crotch, grab me by the thigh. Just be gentle with me alright?" Brock started joking all day that he was going to grab her by the crotch and Cornette (who was in charge at the time) had to keep telling him 'don't do it, don't loving do it.'

The match came, and guess what Brock did? :v:

Synn was in so much pain afterward she was in tears, and Brock was apparently pleased with himself, which pissed Cornette the gently caress off. He got in Brock's face and told him off, telling him you never hurt someone in the ring like that and that if he did that poo poo again he'd pull his gun he kept in the office on him. Cornette has since admitted that the gun wouldn't have stopped Brock and would have likely only pissed him off.

Cornette's a piece of poo poo but so is Brock and from the stories Corncob tells, Brock was nothing but trouble during his development. The two of them deserve each other, honestly.
