It’s true, the low turnout for TV shows this year was all in protest for a match that hadn’t happened yet

Have a feeling this handwringing isn’t gonna end until AEW puts something out about their wrestlers regularly getting tested for blood borne pathogens somewhat regularly due to the nature of their work.

The dude also wasn't paying attention during bloodborne illness and pathogen training: blood doesn't inherently gently caress you up, you're supposed to treat any blood or bodily fluids as if they're infected because you don't know. Wrestlers could have been carnies or they could have had full blood panels and physicals before doing a match like this.

Sounds like someone hasn’t seen the Alien films, blood is corrosive, Hangman is lucky to still have a jaw.

There's been some frustration in places (even here) about how one sided things seem between AEW and NJPW and some is reasonable but it does seem like Super J cast is having a bit of one with the tag league stuff

Does Rocky run NJPW Strong in any capacity? He’s said some stuff in interviews that makes it sound like he has some control over it, but maybe it’s just a “royal we” kind of thing. I wonder if he would have given the okay on something like this without checking with anyone else first, if there’s actually a problem to begin with.

I would like to think that TK who comes from a background of actual business (not carny bullshit) wouldn't gently caress with a partner's belt. But if some dudes with a podcast suggest otherwise maybe I should rethink that.

If it's true at all then we will find out when they unify a belt representing two titles from Tony companies
|
# ? Nov 21, 2023 03:05 |

I personally think it's more likely that Tony refers to holding multiple belts at the same time as unifying them, like he did when Omega held the AAA, Impact, & AEW World belts.

Pretty sure if NJPW gave some belt to AEW-contracted wrestler Eddie Kingston then perhaps they don’t have any immediate plans for the title that don’t include AEW-contracted wrestlers. Nutty booking reigns.

Tony can barely make moves with his own titles, I doubt he's going rogue with other promotions titles.

Omega had every title on earth except WWE's dumb walled garden belts and he played nice.

I watched the scrum and tony khan just kept quoting early 2000s video “The Juggernaut, Bitch” every time a journalist asked him about anything, it was very disconcerting.
