Scrubbed through the thread and am surprised no one posted the follow up Bodyslam is running to their “Danielson is signed” tweet:

Assuming plans stick and the whole thing isn’t bullshit: Arthur Ashe Stadium

For what it's worth, SRS can't confirm it himself, but he implied Cassidy is credible on this.

from last page abotu the touring, imo the only thing weird is them going back to daily's so soon.

I thought so too? i dont know if theres a longer version on their youtube or something, but it seems so oddly split up and disjointed?

It was so weird. Santana is cutting this great impassioned promo and they just instantly cut to FTR cutting their promo and Santana is sitting down.

Lance Archer as a transitional champ to get the NJPW US title on Kenny?

Or Mox being pulled in for some high profile matches in NJPW, maybe a big G1 run? Maybe winning it?

I think he's just gonna drop it back to Mox at Resurgence.

I think the ratings were high on account of an ongoing stretch of good shows with compelling storylines, crowds returning to wrestling events, recent debuts creating a sense of "must-see TV" and pre-show rumors of very famous wrestlers signing with the company, among other factors.

Stop fencesitting, the Yuta vs. Abrahantes war has already started.

Ringside Seats straight up makes stuff up. I think Punk is signed but this is very transparently them just catching what way the wind blows so they can say they Had The Scoop the next time they're just blatantly making poo poo up.

Remember, people in AEW dont leak poo poo. The indications about Punk and Bryan have come from outside the company.

So like, it's 100% done, right? They're both signed, sealed, delivered? We're at the point where people from the AEW office are playing up the rumors, they would look like complete loving morons if they somehow didn't get both at this point.

I Before E posted:

In NJPW 5 on 5 elimination matches, usually the eliminations start when people start getting too exhausted or occupied preventing double teaming to break up pins, or they just get submissions on loss posts.

NJPW also has over-the-top for eliminations, which is very handy because it lets you not actually pin anyone.

MassRafTer posted:

To win a fall you have to either pin the Captain or the other two members of the team. So in random Arena Puebla matches you'll see a guy rolled up, the ref wait, then a second guy rolled up 2 seconds later while the ref slowly counts to three because they couldn't time it right.

They will happen very rarely in Japan too, but it's usually like a 10 man.

karmicknight posted:

Basically each team has a captain, and if the captain takes a fall the match is over. Otherwise you've got to get two of three falls.

So do you have to pin both Shmuck 1 and Shmuck 2 or can you pin Shmuck 1 twice? If Shmuck 1 gets pinned, is he out of the match?

Excuse me, he and MJF merely had a disagreement about MJF's record that MJF resolved by calmly and handsomely explaining to Griff why he was mistaken.
