For everyone mocking Spears for this moment being his peak, it's one hell of a peak to have. I always liked Shawn Spears but there was no place in AEW for him. When you've got Jay White loving around in the lower midcard there's no room for a Shawn Spears on tv.

nxt is a fine place for shawn spears, to me. they need guys like him there so the young talent can get reps in with workers who know what they're doing. hell of a lot more useful than 500 hours of crossfit

They do not, almost all their guys immediately get hooked up with the gimmick lawyer guy to secure their trademarks if they hadn’t already done so. Only AEW trademarks that identify wrestlers have been stable names, but not individuals.

Obviously their demo is down from their Becky Lynch peak this fall but 2 years ago when they were down to .12s they could still get 600,000+ viewers. Clearly, the older, more refined crowd were more able to appreciate the fine booking talents of Vince McMahon, Johnny Ace and Bruce Pritchard.

Goblin Queen posted:I hope AEW doesn't let Parker Boudreaux slip away next 😔 Might not be a bad move for WWE to pick him back up. They could overdub the commentary on their Brock matches and claim it was Parker who broke Undertaker's streak. Give it a couple years and the fans won't even remember Brock.

I commend him for wanting to be more than a fun midcard good hand but that is kinda his ceiling; serious heel Spears never really caught on. The Cody build and '90s throwback match ruled though.

Vince’s weird obsession with Martin Luther King is so bizarre because Vince is such an evil guy. I wonder what he thinks MLK is famous for exactly, lechery? I can’t believe they wanted PAC to say that line, I think the MLK day RAW where Seth curb stomped Big E and all the black wrestlers lost was intentional after all.

old white libertarians love MLK because he was well spoken and well dressed and had the temerity to die before they turned into their hateful wretched adult selves, and invoking their respect for mlk is the closest they can come to the 'i can't be racist because i have a black friend' excuse

Depending on how reliable Google Translate it, this seems to be a name from the Hausa language spoken primarily in Nigeria and meaning "The Governors". No idea who would fit such a gimmick, but given the history WWE probably signed D-Von's sons and is gonna pretend they are from Nigeria and definitely not New York.

naming their black wrestlers saquon/j'evon instead of letting them keep their cooler names (Jay Malachi/Lucky Ali) sucks so much but this is the company that gives people loving names like Lyra Valkyria, Alba Fyre, Isla Dawn, Lash Legend, Persia Perotta lol
