those spots are all HOURS away from each other so i dunno. running chicago and milwaukee, for instance, is way closer than running those cities and will draw different crowds. now if they run chicago in december somehow after running here for thanksgiving...

when was the last time they were in TX?

The Return of Curtis - brought to you by AEW

December I think.

AEW’s lack of transparency and backstage antics are a legitimate line of inquiry. I don’t really care if journalists are unbiased or not, but their reporting should try to be informative. That’s where Meltzer falls down. He distorts information to make AEW look good and WWE look bad.

Helwani pulling some real Chris Jericho shit with that line about people liking AEW more being liars though. They could just be stupid.

Honestly, they should have Billy Gunn challenge for the world title. Maybe just a one off match. Or they could actually give him the ROH belt. There’s absolutely no reason he shouldn’t get a title at this point tbh.

Wow. Adam Cole might be done. Apparently the labrum injury he was nursing when he last wrestled at Forbidden Door isn't what's keeping him out. He got a severe concussion during that match and has yet to recover from it and they don't know when or if he will recover at all.

there's a britt baker/christian joke in there, but i'll leave it to the master.

Good thing Tiny was smart enough to only gave him a 7 year contract, now he will only have to keep paying Cole until 2028 BAY-BAY!

I do not wish ill for Adam Cole at all, but I don't care for him as a pro wrestler. I'll just say that. He can have great matches yes but I just don't care for him.

New group debuted at RAMPAGE tapings tonight...

Good! AEW needed more groups and more rasslers!

Game changers. This is the move that will catapult AEW past WWE in the ratings!

jfc

I hope Tiny is mentally prepared for her to talk bad about him and AEW once she gets released :rofl:

Tony Khan cannot help himself. At this point, how are even the most shameless defenders of this company not eye-rolling at this?

I don't think we really have any left :lol:

I enjoy watching AEW more often than not. But that doesn't change the fact that Khan makes some unnecessarily head scratching decisions, and that signing would certainly be one of them.

I assume that group is another one earmarked for ROH but it's taken so long for a TV deal to develop there, it just means AEW is even more cluttered. Dumb.

At this point I don't think RoH is happening. It will just be used for probably quarterly PPVs that will be so AEW centric that the RoH branding will become meaningless.

Has there been any info at all on an ROH TV deal since TK bought the company?

Does #1-wwf-fan even post anymore? I haven’t noticed xrod destroying him lately, so that would correlate to it no longer being trendy to defend the show blindly. BigCrippyZ ran off ages ago, but even he had to chill out.

I’m sure they still exist on the wider internet, but AEW does seem to be losing a lot of the goodwill people afforded it. And good riddance honestly.

No. AEW’s shows have been struggling enough as it is without adding more content for it to compete with.

He abandoned the AEW ship when his hero Phil did. Phil ending up being the giant douche failure I said he would be all along right from the start, proving me right and Fan wrong in perpetuity, you love to see it :rofl:

He hitched his wagon to the losing team pretty early. And guys like that need approval of the room to feign confidence. He’s always stuck his finger in the wind to see which way it’s blowing before he tries to start a dog-pile. Typical.

He got exposed worse than Dave exposed his AEW sources.

By the way, I’m not sure Punk isn’t going to take half this company in the divorce proceedings lol.

On what grounds? lol

He spazzed at a presser with the boss over rumors.

He told The Elite to come see him. They came with the head of legal and talent relations with them and Punk/Steele decided to start a fight on the spot.

I get you don't like The Elite, but with the little that is known, Punk isn't the one looking to win a legal situation here. He has no ground to stand on, none. I'm willing to bet the whole legal situation is revolving around TK trying to find out if he has to pay this man out or if Punk fucked up enough that TK can void the contract for cause and send Punk away with nothing.

We’ll see, lol.

I cant see how punk is the moral actor here. He's basically validated every critic he had in the WWF.

Dude if CM Punk tried to bring any kind of case to court against TK/AEW over this event, all they are going to have to do is play the tape of the press conference and put a couple of the witnesses on the stand to say Punk/Steele also started the physicality and a judge is going to throw that shit straight in the trash.

There is no confusion here. It is all either on tape or has multiple witnesses that are not favorable to Punks side. I would say there is a less than 0% chance of Punk walking away with "half the company" if it was even possible to have less than a 0% chance.

Also punks gripe about rumors to the dirtsheets being what set him off does him absolutely no favors because it's all hearsay and all it shows is that he will spaz out, become insubordinate and assault his bosses over rumors on the internet. He is lucky af he didn't get arrested; if a normal person here spazzed on their bosses and then bit them and threw chairs and shit they would immediately be terminated and arrested and would find it very hard to ever find decent employment ever again.

We will see.

lol

Maybe he'll take his half of the company and turn it into a new promotion with THE ROCK

Nah, the window has closed on that one.

The thing about Punk is he is a little bitch and everybody (but Fan) knows it.

He can’t fight. But he doesn’t seem to mind getting into them. Unless it’s on a reality show.

Loved seeing OC win the other night, great to see him rewarded for this consistent love from the crowd and as he does a fair bit of indy work he can defend it outside AEW.

I am curious though who the first non AEW guy to win it will be, it has to happen at some point to really make the belt serve its true purpose.

The Garcia (re?) heel turn caught me off guard and I don't mind it at all as I didn't want him in the BCC.

The MJF tweener turn thing is unnecesary in my mind, let him be a prick people cheer if they want to. He doesn't need to be teasing hand shakes and such while his promo on Dynamite did frame it well I just don't see the need.

MJF has a monster face run in him but I don't think nows the time, let him win the title and be scum doing all he can to keep the belt while the pack chases him.

its WWECW at this point. Either find it a TV deal or let it move on until such time as you do.

Man, you really like trying to sneak in shit-talk in threads where you hope I won’t see it because I haven’t posted there recently. I GOT BUZZED THOUGH. So now to embarrass you…
