    Alas, the field so far is stacked - and the announced field so far has two women!

    I was really annoyed by him orginially, but he has grown on me a lot. Think he has done a great job finding balance with his character. Trent Seven looked good tonight. Quality match.

    Well that explains a lot about your ignorance of wrestling outside of WWE.

    But we all know that's bullshit because you always act like a little bitch whenever I post anything from an AEW homer.

    No TV deal for ROH. Figured that would be the case with the Briscoes and Claudio winning.

    Library and weekly show will be on Honor Club for $9.99 a month. PPVs will remain PPVs and show up on Honor Club 90 days later.

    NJPW going to be more heavily involved with Honor Club in some vague capacity.

    That new Iron Survivor match was pretty cool…


    I think I would’ve done without the penalty box. But those girls rocked it.

    looking forward to the men getting a crack it later.

    also can’t wait till they get out the PC. This is the last PLE in that place.

    Really enjoyed the women’s iron survivor match. It was a confusing concept to me at first; however, after seeing it in action, it’s actually pretty easy to follow.

    That seems like a weird business decision, but good on her for sticking to her guns. She really must have felt hurt by how the tag belts thing played out. :ohdear:

    Let's her scratch the wrestling itch while pursuing other interests. She's also obsessed with Japanese culture, so I'm sure this is a huge bucket list thing for her.

    I don't think Sasha wants to do full time grind. She definitely has aspirations beyond wrestling. I'd expect her to show up for a major njpw event now and then and maybe do a short run for aew or sporadic appearances, but I think her days as a full time there every week wrestler are done.

    I'd be interested to see what effect Sasha has on AEW ratings. People who watch wrestling already I think appreciate good female wrestling and she'd improve the product, but I've always wondered if women's wrestling really is much of a real draw.

    I would love to see Sasha in AEW but I don’t see that as some major free agency grab. Like that isn’t going to get people to change channels if they weren’t already watching AEW.

    the women’s division in AEW is wierd to begin with. I always feel like it’s 2 separate divisions; Britt’s division (world title), and Jade’s division (TBS title). There is very little cross over between them and it always strikes me as weird. Not to mention with Jade, who they have built up to the point that no one can plausible beat her and whoever ends up beating her is going to be a let down. The only women I could see beating her at this point and it not being a let down is; Willow (pure baby face), statlander (on her return), or if they brought in like Charlotte which isn’t going to happen

    I think Sasha will move the needle slightly. People will tune in to see her debut and see what storyline she’s jumping into.

    No faith TK will give them something to keep tuning back in if the rumored debut is a mystery partner in a tag match.
