It's a bad list, in addition to what others have said Starkz hasn't officially been confirmed under contract yet, has she? Add Rayne to the list of "hired primarily for backstage work/coaching but also did some ring work" I'm pretty sure considering Pillman Jr is out, Griff's contract is expiring if it hasn't already. Alternatively he'll make his triumphant return when Hook accidentally beats the poo poo out of him thinking he caught Jungle Boy. TK isn't really stringing many along, especially since he's paying these folks and not refusing to let them do indies. Hell, Fuego was injured at an indie, but Tony still paid out the rest of his contract.

bartok posted:Griff popped up on ROH a few weeks ago. ROH isn't on TV. Yes, if you include ROH & House shows then results would be different but it's not like the guy who wrote the list isn't explicit that it's about people who haven't been on TV or AEW PPVs. And no, a pre-show isn't the same as a PPV. Including a bunch of injured people seems self defeating but I suppose the OP couldn't be arsed looking up the injury list.

roh isn't on tv but when your point is that these are people that Tony Khan isn't doing anything with and he in fact is doing something with them, it undercuts it

Cutler, Cabana, Nakazawa, and Wight also have non-wrestling roles in the company that supercede their wrestling roles.

Add Rayne to the list of "hired primarily for backstage work/coaching but also did some ring work" Madison also got injured about 2 months ago during an RoH match. I can understand being mad at Tony's hiring proclivities (and his lack of women's matches on everything but RoH (which has been consistent but with less gravitas as of late)), but you still can see almost everybody wrestling SOMEWHERE (except Riho, what the hell tone)

Many people overlook that decades before the invention of television, Strangler Lewis and Billy Sandow were captivating audiences with their in-ring talk show parodies. And that movie of a train headed towards the audience in the theater was a hype package for Farmer Burns's ill-fated "Freight Train Burns" repackaging.

A week before the carnival came to town you could go to the nickelodeon, that's what we called movie theaters back then because they only cost a nickle which used to have a ladies head on it, anyways you could go to the nickelodeon and in between cartoons of Donald duck beating up Krauts you could learn about the travelling strongman and how he had been in a terrible fire as a child where he perished and returned from the dead, now wearing a mask to cover his horrible disfigurement. Well after watching a few of those you know we were all ready to fight this horrible demonic man and defeat him in a contest of strength.

one time I caught the ferry to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe, so I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on them. 'Gimme five bees for a quarter,' you'd say. Now where were we... oh yeah. The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have any white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones,

I somehow stumbled upon a poster for a tiny event in Jersey just outside of NYC and one of their main selling points for the show was the premier of Maven's (from Tough Enough) Talk Show. I was tempted to go just to see how much of a disaster it was.

forkboy84 posted:I don't even watch AEW & have a better understanding of why these 2 teams had a big bloody blowoff than this person. Yeah it's ridiculously evident how many of the anti-AEW talking points are just repeating what they've heard other people say, because of how often they're based on stuff that's months out of date. Like "Chris Jericho never loses and demands every story be about how great he is" after his Ocho run was over while the Action Andretti and Ricky Starks storylines were going on. "There's no story justification, it's just Tony putting together dream matches!" Meanwhile last week a heel manager interrupted a match to talk about why Blood & Guts was happening this year.
