If I had a Time Machine I’d use it to get front row tickets to Forbidden Door 2 and bring a sign that says “Ow My Balls”

If I had a Time Machine I’d probably go back to the early-mid 90s, go to one of those Warner Brothers stores they had in malls, and buy a bunch of Looney Tunes and Batman stuff. Would probably invest some stock in Apple or make some sports bets too. Wrestling related stuff probably wouldn’t cross my mind.

JUNGLE BOY posted:boys with a time machine: nooo tony don’t hire colt cabana At the time I thought it was stupid to hire Colt cause he is a jobber with no value or upside at this point and if they wanted to hire Punk it would be a problem, but Punk would have melted down eventually so it's a wash

They hired Colt in like early 2020 and I don't think Khan had started talking to Punk until quite a bit later in the year. Although I'm sure they wanted him since day one, so.

colt cabana having no upside in AEW isn’t true, he had a 1.5-star match with jericho that was booked to spite punk where he almost died because he decided to wrestle in compression socks

He was a perfectly fine television jobber and he's had a pretty meaningful impact on indie wrestling so I dunno giving him a job was probably fine? Apparently he tried to talk to Punk and Punk rebuffed him. Which on some level I kind of get because Colt sued him for a million dollars, which is kinda hosed up. I dunno. They're both kinda assholes in different ways.

Colt can do jobs when needed, train/coach people effectively, and has a lot of insight into marketing/promotion. He's also a good example of someone having good, or at least fun, matches in a relatively low-impact style. He's definitely someone I'd keep around.

I will not slander the Bucks/Elite or Jericho because they're the only acts to change things up in the last year or two. (Toni Storm is included in this but she doesn't catch much hate, so no disclaimer needed.)

someone a while ago listed loads of tag teams that hadn't been built up at all and i think at the time people were like "hmmm not sure" , one of them though was private party and that got me thinking how obviously they've been around since day 1 and have done sweet gently caress all. they were never necessarily world tag title material but tony never tried with them. maybe it was injuries but liek when they were around, they were good. same with a lot of teams. dunno. too many singles belts in this dying fed

It's wild that right now Chris Jericho is the FTW champion because 4 years ago Jon Moxley caught COVID.

There's a ton of those guys and none of them have sued the big star I wanted to get for my promotion and would be a deterrence to his hiring and possibly employment because he is a huge baby

Probably but it might have been delayed long enough for them to squeeze more money out of him. Like the reason the timing of Cry Me a River sucked so bad is because it let Punk go back to WWE right in the middle of the TV negotiating period for both companies. Granted, Punk was fully trying to force his way out of the company at that point so it might not have mattered.

My two favorite acts in pro wrestling are CM Punk and the Young Bucks. It's a sad and lonely place to be but somebody needs to bear the burden of having the best possible taste in pro wrestling. Wish it was Punk instead of Darby at Anarchy. Oh well. Not meant to be I suppose. Missed opportunities. I blame Tony, then Punk, then the Bucks, in that order.

It's wild how everything Private Party were doing* when they debuted was better than everything after. *Silly String excluded. That move has always sucked.

Private Party are also on the list of Tag Teams that never get any momentum cause one or the other is always injured at all times.

MJeff posted:They were not good and Tony did try with them. They were fun in CZW but it's clear they have a ceiling and they just haven't really been able to go further than it, and as much as it pains me it's basically this yeah. Zay was fun in the Firm Deletion and he's a great job guy but I just don't think the team will ever be much. And that's fine, really, nothing wrong with being a lower card tag team! I just personally wish they were...y'know, better.

The problem with Private Party and Top Flight tag teams is they have moments were you go "Oh they're gonna be real good" and than you have moments where they just seems lost in the ring. Like Dante Martin in the 8 man scramble on PPV looks lost in places AEW young talent needs more work and I'm kinda of shocked the talent or Tony hasn't tried to get them on like short Japan or CMLL tours to try and get them more work
