I miss Rebel. She lowkey made that deathmatch work so well because she was always setting up the next spot.

Britt would sink hard in WWE and she’d never touch the main roster. She can’t wrestle and has no defining characteristics besides being a dentist which only worked for her in AEW with it’s large british fanbase.

It's true, we love the dentists, because our dentalcare is heavily subsidised by the NHS, therefore we tend to get upsold unnecessary cosmetic dentistry much less.

Look, we've got to build Jay Lethal strong for his ROH Title match that already happened on the preshow and also he lost and also the title is in weird abeyance for this?

Theres no time for Takeshita to "workrate" or whatever. We're making movies here!

Takeshita shouldn't be in Jay Lethal's spot of "pin eater"

Completely fair! He just appeared in my head as replaceable. Here's the league, where would you (general) have put him?

Blue League:

Bryan Danielson
Andrade El Idolo
Brody King
Claudio Castagnoli
Daniel Garcia
Eddie Kingston

Gold League:

Jon Moxley
Swerve Strickland
Rush
Mark Briscoe
Jay Lethal
Jay White

I guess in the guise of "younger workrate dude who won't win but will probably get a couple signature victories and look good in defeat" maybe replace Garcia?

He should learn how to cut a promo first. Everyone in the C2 can do that, probably an important criteria for it since they have all those backstage promos in this.

If only there was some guy standing in front of and slightly to the left of takeshita who could do all that stuff and also be on commentary for his matches to make them cooler. Unfortunately there is no such person

The Ric Flair hiring is the damning evidence here. His presence does nothing for anyone - it's not like anyone can feud with him and it's not like Sting needs him in his corner to elevate him. He is solely at AEW to get nostalgia pops. And there's a side order of hypocrisy because it's not like anything major has changed about the Plane Ride From Hell thing and he hasn't done a better job of demonstrating contrition than he did when the Dark Side of the Ring episode aired. It makes it blatantly obvious that the decision not to bring him in then and there wasn't a principled stance, it was just kicking the can down the road in the hope audiences would forget about it.


Flair is there to go to executive parties, whoo, woot and holler and rub elbows for Tony. None of them give a poo poo about his past, they just wanna whoo and take a photo. Frankly out of all the old guys in the business he is the best at building the AEW brand for that sect.

how is AEW so bad with Visa issues? Is no one keeping track of that? This happens all the time with PAC (besides injuries), Ogogo, Penta, Fenix, and Rush. I remember when WWE forgot about renewing Barrett and Sheamus visas years ago and that was considered are rare gently caress up

regarding her not defending the title, she is still on TV every week in multiple segments in even the mens mainevent title scenes so she was still being used while other people were feuding over title shots vs her

The US government. Also a lot of those were lies. Sometimes those guys didn't want to job.

this glorious monument

I figured that Britt was finally taking time off to heal. She had been wrestling hurt for awhile and had lost all the zing to what passes for her fastball, both in and out of the ring.
Either way; haven't much missed her. Even if she's only one of a very small handful of women who can carry an actual story.

They had to change a match for All In due to a Visa issue. Near as we could tell their travel coordinator was "some guy who's friends with the Young Bucks".

she's not the manager she's like clearly the leader of the stable and the only one important in the group of jobbers she bosses around lmao. and wwe was clearly behind her being the only woman in a mens stable and doing some intergender stuff where she was attacking and bodyslamming dudes bigger than her up to entering at 1 in the rumble to the end and winning the title at mania. Like WWE rear end but they at least try to actually make the women stars in their division when they actually care about them, same with Bianca
