The Croc posted:He comes across as someone who will always just say what you want to hear. He told Brodie that he could get him into NJPW (or, failing that, NXT). He 100% only says those things to get people to stop asking for their release or get them to stop being angry. It's incredibly transparent. I think it was even Brodie or Chris that said something along the lines of "If he wanted me in NXT, I'd be in there." Pylons fucked around with this message at 19:48 on Jul 18, 2020 |

Chris James 2 posted:AEW didn't try to get them during their no-compete Right, that's what I mean. I don't think AEW is in a position to give them a reasonable offer (setting aside their heat with management), so releasing them was a no-brainer for WWE. They don't have the overpaid talent on their budget, and AEW still doesn't pick them up.

Dreams can be interesting or fun to listen to, with the caveat that you have to record that dream right when you wake up from it.

sleepwalkers posted:the idea that you have to put the best workers on tv above everything else is so weird and i don't know why that's his hangup. orange cassidy got hella over by, essentially, not wrestling. becky lynch was arguably the biggest star wwe regularly had on network tv and she was nowhere near the best worker in the company, man or woman. you have a bunch of people being given regular tv time who are not as good as fenix. If OC wasn't a good worker they'd have just kept doing comedy spots with him where he'd show up under the ring or in a backstage segment.

The problem is that, with the exception of Britt, they've done all that. They could probably run back ABADON, especially since that was on Dark, but it's too soon to run back most of those, and I feel like they're going to bring in a big name for her to wrestle at All Out for a one off.

I Before E posted:Apparently in an interview Tony Khan has called the decision to have the Dangerous Tekkers/Golden Aces match where Tanahashi got like 200 Dragon Screws in a row on the same show as the Evil/Naito match a "head-scratcher", from what I understand because the mixed reaction to the latter match overshadowed the former, more well-received storyline. It makes sense he'd have that reaction, given how Dynamite is usually booked to have a hot angle on last regardless of if it's for the world title, but it's been a controversial comment in this thread. I think Tony also really tries to avoid having a show with a heel ending. The only one I can think of is All Out 2019.

I've long felt part of the problem is that wrestling fans act embarrassed about liking wrestling, so of course nobody is going to get into it when the enthusiasts of it don't even seem to like it.

The Britt Baker episode of Oral Sessions is very good. Some interesting info in there like how long the Lights Out match has been in the works, how she learned to find the camera during these no-crowd shows, some stuff we've heard about the backstage at AEW already (but that's always nice to keep hearing) who reached out to her after the match. Judge Jeff Jones is apparently good friends with Adam Cole.

RealFoxy posted:She was god awful in NXT and she was pretty green when she joined AEW, let's not re-write history here. Now that she's got to be Tay, she's gotten to lean into her strengths. She's a legitimate black belt, she got to use her background to drag Nyla around like a rag doll without making Nyle looking weak. She might've still been a dear in headlights months ago, but AEW tries to make sure as many people look credible as possible. I don't disagree, she was still pretty rough (though you could definitely see her potential outside of NXT/WWE in the tag tournament) it's just funny how now they can't even deny that she's pretty good.

Sanguinia posted:Lance's mindset on wanting his wrestling to be logically consistent is trapped in dinosaur times though. Who had all the buzz coming out of that match? Was it Thunder Rosa? Is Thunder Rosa who AEW fans were talking about? Is it Thunder Rosa who obviously got the bigger rub from the match? No, it was Britt Baker, any idiot could see that after spending ten minutes looking at reactions. AEW the company putting their energy and tv time and money behind the person who got the bigger response from the audience after the match is ENTIRELY logically consistent. This is where I'm at. Everyone after that match was wondering what was next for Britt because that was the most interesting story coming out of it. The only way it would've made sense for Britt to win that feud was if they weren't allowed to use Thunder Rosa anymore, but they still can, so having Britt win what was essentially a feud where Thunder Rosa would have to leave the promotion if she lost would've been stupid and buried Rosa for no real reason. Britt is an ideal heel because she can lose every feud she's part of and still keep her heat. There's no reason to complain about that.
