Official WWE/ECW/WCW/TNA talk, or whatever v2

[SuperMatt18]

Thing with Wyatt 6 is I actually think Lumis and Gacy work really well together as a bit of a physical and agile tag team.

Rowan can play his role as the muscle as needed.

Really it's Uncle Howdy and Sister Abigail characters that just don't work.

Uncle Howdy never worked, didn't work when Bray was trying to do it, and should have never been part of what Bo Dallas needed to be.

Nikki Cross fits with the group, but the whole supernatural thing doesn't work at all with how the womens division is currently set up.

Still think if they would just let Bo Dallas be more of who he is when the Uncle Howdy mask is off, and more of just a crazy cult leader that it could work.

Can we talk about Matt Riddle for a second? No showing a charity show, then posting a video crapping all over the organisers.

Raja Jackson must be a huge fan of this guy, as Jackson is no longer the biggest scumbag in the industry this week!

Why do so many wrestlers devolve into creepy weirdo losers? Although in Riddle's cast he was always a pos, the WWE just did their best to hide it.

Ridddle has alway been an absolutely piece of crap, and I thought over rated, he was must turn the channel except when Orton carried him.


Yeah, skipping the charity event and when fans called him out on it he told them to F themselves. Then basically accusing Punk of being a creep for mentoring at NXT and calling Punk's wife a slut is beyond the pale.


This guy is worse then Ryback.

If you want to boo him he is scheduled to be in Calgary next month for the next Dungeon Wrestling event.

I'm betting he won't be there, his bookings are being cancelled over the charity event.

AJ Lee, the all time great psycho returns and stone cold pressed Becky to the ground twice for some ground and pound haymakers. Love it. And she probably walks back into the WWE as the fittest female on the roster. And they have Rhea and the female version of Ahmed Johnson, Jade Cargill in their employ

[SuperMatt18]

AJ Lee deserves a big moment, she was a superstar in a period where it was tough to be a women's superstar and had her time cut short because she was caught in the drama between Punk and Vince

[dammage79]

AJ paved the way for the Alexa Bliss and Liv Morgan types. Shes definitely one of the most important women's trailblazers. Probably the biggest of the diva era for sure.

[Blaster86]

That pop was something else.

[Maritime Q-Scout]

Light it up!

[Mathgod]

That was awesome. Hopefully she's back for a long time and not just for one feud.

As long as she physically holds up it might be possible.

Shes only 38 which is the same age as Becky, which is kind of crazy to think how she's still that young after not doing this for 10 years already.

Shed probably be travelling with Punk on the road a lot anyways, so why not at least do some wrestling with it too.

[dammage79]

One has to think the wrestling has gotten better since her time. Watching her matches in her title run was wild.
Naomi was a botch machine and man outside of Natty, there wasn't anything to work with skill wise .

Had no idea AJs back was that mangled from rasslin.

[SuperMatt18]

So looks like she is re-signed to an actual contract and not just a limited time thing.

[CaptainCrunch]

AJ was probably the best worker on the roster in her time, she worked in the time of 5 minute matches, and as much as the Bella's take credit for give Diva's a chance, it was AJ in the same promo where she absolutely burned down Nikki about her relationship with Cena.


The only other woman worker at the time that could work a match as well was Nattie.


AJ still has one of the best finishers in the woman's division as well. She was due this great moment and return and looked better then ever.

[Blaster86]

Just because it hasn't been mentioned: Becky's facial reactions when AJ's music hit was perfect. The mixture of fear, disbelief and confusion. The panic as she looked around for an escape and realized she was surrounded by the enemy in Chicago and just stood dead center of the ring, gawking. Even if you don't know who AJ is, even if you're too young or too new a fan to remember AJ's last run Becky sold this so well you knew it's big.

HHH when he finds out Cactus Jack is back (both times) is probably the last time we got the facial sell this good on a return/debut.

[CaptainCrunch]

not quit related but when Bret came out to the ring in the Royal Rumble and Austin looked terrified.

AJ Styles debut was well done

Everything except Kevin Dunn botching the camera/production.

Anyways, if there's any evidence needed as to why AEW needs to continue to exist/exceed, it's that TKO execs are absolute blood-sucking parasites.

“WWE is not where the UFC yet is on ticket yield. We have our work to do there.

“We know we have a lot of room there because Vince McMahon was primarily pricing tickets for families and wasn’t totally focused on maxing the opportunity there. Now that we’ve seen what we can do with UFC, we’re replicating that in terms of ticket yield and holding back and advance sales when it comes to OnLocation on the WWE side and it’s working out really well.”

“We’re going to share as much as makes sense with the stars of both leagues. We will be very competitive…we are very competitive. We pay more than any other competitor in the combat sports space. We know why we’re here and it’s a team effort,” he said.

Giving these guys a monopoly will be awful for wrestlers.
