Yeah why isn't Eddie continually front and center on TV all the time, easily the best promo guy in AEW

when he retires from inring performing he should go on commentary, he used to do that in chikara and was great

At least all of her AEW promos are better than the time she had to tell Charlotte, "lol your brother killed himself!"

I just saw that one recently and my jaw dropped that they were still doing that kind of poo poo

like in 1997 when Brian Pillman died and they put his widow on live tv the night after

They used to have leagues they would do using the WWE video games, they'd write storylines and poo poo and then upload them with live premieres weekly, like they were actual TV

there are a till people that do that although I think a lot have moved on to like wrestling empire or fire pro

its not an effort post but vince and ultimate warrior exchanged letters over a contract dispute that ultimately led to warrior being fired and vince comes off as the sane and rational person in the face of warriors insane demands lol

didn't Vince end up bringing him back for a wrestlemania, but because it was last second and Vince was desperate warrior made him pay like half a million?

seriously part of why I like aew is that they're just allowed to be silly

I was watching the first no audience covid episode of dynamite and the commentary was like 3 friends joking around it ruled

Miro was off TV for a long while due to injury. He finally came back and got involved in the All-Atlantic Championship (now International Championship) tournament. In the finals, at last year's Forbidden Door, he got in an incident that started a feud with Malakai Black and the House of Black. They were building towards a big rivalry and All Out had him team up with Sting and Darby Allin against the House of Black. Miro's team won and afterwards, Malakai did some big bow to the cheering crowd that was not seen on TV.

While there was a lot of speculation about what was going on with him, Malakai was essentially taking a break from wrestling. He ended up coming back to AEW down the line after getting his poo poo together, but at the time, it really killed Miro's momentum. Miro cut a pre-taped promo on the next Dynamite and that was it. The last we'd see of him for a long time.

At one point, his wife CJ/Lana had been going on a rant on social media about how Tony Khan didn't know how to run a wrestling business and that WWE was so much better. It was very apparent that during the time when Vince was fired and Triple H was in charge, she wanted Miro out of AEW and back to WWE. She noticeably stopped talking about this the moment Vince came back.

The word is that AEW did have ideas for Miro, but he refused to go along with them. Such ideas include losing in the finals of a #1 contender tournament (won by Ricky Starks) and being the runner-up in a #1 contender battle royal that would be won by Hangman Page. Fans went from "Where the hell is Miro?!" to "Oh... gently caress that guy. Go back to being booked into cuck angles."

And now he's back as part of the build to the new AEW Collision show existing.

At one point I should really go into the unfortunate Raw Guest Host run.

after that you can do the stardust/steven amell feud lol

I've been watching aew since Vince forced his way back into the wwe and I'm currently in the empty arena covid era.

Cody did a lot of commentary, and he keeps name dropping Dick Murdoch and you'd think mentioning the card carrying kkk member would be a nono

r truth rules, the king of the ring 2015 sucked rear end EXCEPT for r truths promos where he said he would use his powers as king to ban all spiders from the ring, and then after he lost he started coming out with like a burger king crown and a plunger

Mick Foley famously lost an ear in a match and kept going, and the guy he was wrestling was Big Van Vader who also very famously had an eyeball pop out in a match and he just pushed it back in and kept going

Goldberg forgetting his pipe reminded me that Tank Abbott (huuuuge ufc rear end in a top hat who never won poo poo) was in the wcw and they told him to bring a weapon to the ring so he came out with a knife, put it up to his opponent's throat, and they had to go to commercial so they could fire him

oh is that what the racket is for? I always just assumed he used it once and got a good reaction so he just never stopped carrying it

one of the reasons Scott Hall said he went to the wcw was because they offered him days off

John Tenta aka Earthquake was a down to earth guy who did a bunch of interviews with the dude that runs Wrestlecrap. Sadly he got cancer not long after getting niche internet celebrity status and passed away. thankfully a whole bunch of wrestling fans did get to tell him how much they loved him as a kid or whatever so that was cool.

Seemed like a really nice guy who got hosed over by the carny nature of the business. When WCW signed him in the early 90s, they turned into a human shark, and forced him to get the LSU tigers tattoo he had redone into a shark.

I loooooooved this promo he did where he comes out and says I'm not a shark, I'm a man

the story I heard about Kevin Nash was he went in to the production truck there and talked to one of the guys in there, and I guess the guy was out of the closet because Nash asked him "are you gay?"
and the guy said "uh yeah"
so Nash said "cool, you smoke weed?

Nash being able to book for himself explains how, one summer night, I channel surfed to WCW and saw an asian lady with ridonkulous fake boobs tease Nash with flashing her goods only for Big Sexy to be given a chair to the back of the head.

I swore for the longest that had to have been something I dreamt up.

I vividly remember watching raw or whatever and seeing sable hand JR a copy of the playboy issue she was in lol, that's just what wrestling was like then

I don�t have a lot of childhood memories but The Undertaker�s debut and early 90s shenanigans is one of them so I�m deeply enjoying these write ups. I�ll never forget how awesome I thought Undertaker stopping Jake�s chair shot and �who�s side are you on?� �NOT YOURS.� was; I still love the trope of the big scary dude stepping in to stop an injustice too far to this day. As I do histrionic midnight movie hosts.

that's why everyone loved crow sting too

Story wise at least it makes sense for it to be Shane.

Agreed that Vince is really good at being a heel and then giving us dumb marks what we want. Unfortunately he also needs to be the center of attention sometimes. He used to have a fake CEO so he could just be a lowly announcer, but then other times he'll see Kevin Owens have a hugely popular match where he gets his rear end kicked by Stone Cold Steve Austin and think "I should go get my rear end kicked too, even though I look a million years old and can't take a stunner anymore."

for a while gorilla monsoon was the onscreen wwf president because Vince's dad was best friends with him and made Vince promise to always have a job for him
