    WWE should totally pick them up, they could be stars there

    wait, this doesn’t work both ways?

    Seems like AEW is releasing more talent. Curious if they get dragged on twitter for doing what’s best for the company.

    no, it doesn’t work both ways

    I believe Jimmy Havoc has had some bad allegations against him, hasn’t he?

    Yes, believe he was one of many named in the speak up movement.

    If you listen to the interview just about everything he offered up was better than what Vince/Heyman ultimately did.

    Oh good lord...

    Jimmy Havoc is a scum bag that got outed and is retiring

    Bea works for another company and was on a short term per match deal with no hope of entering the country anytime soon

    Sadie also has no hope of entering the country until 2021, and has a whole other job

    The two situations aren’t remotely similar

    This is what I read. I’m thinking once it’s safe enough for the two women to travel, they’ll be back in AEW. Jimmy Havoc has no hope of resigning.

    Oh, so what you are saying is AEW didn't simply release a bunch of talent to shave a few bucks off the bottom line during the middle of a pandemic while at the same time posting record profits?

    I'm not a defender of Dream if he is guilty, but didn't the first lady admit she was lying and the Fuller situation while seeming weird, is not seeming illegal.

    This Retribution is a somehow shittier knockoff of Aces and Eights in TNA. WWE is like WCW 2000 if WCW was on downers.

    A hair vs hair match? :meh: The Mandy/ Sonya feud deserves a proper speciality match to end it, like a Last Woman Standing match.

    That's pretty typical of WWE. Instead of varying storylines, they copy them. So now they'll have mask/hair and hair/hair matches.

    Is there a reason why they needed to move from the PC? If they're not having fans, what's the point?

    EDIT: This explains a little bit

    They want to do virtual fans and shit like that. Easier in a big venue I guess

    That makes more sense, I think the NBA is already doing that. I was confused why they would want to move to a bigger venue which will further highlight the lack of fans in attendance.

    Let’s all apply and have a TMB section at virtual Summerslam

    Jim Cornette is an asshole and has a very narrow view of what wrestling should be, but I'd be lying if I didn't say I actually enjoy listening to him rant about NXT and AEW. It's pretty entertaining. I disagree with a lot of what he says, but it's still a funny listen

    Cornette is the wrestling equivalent of the old football coach who is still trying to run the wishbone and thinks that the spread is just a gimmick offense and will die off

    He won't totally go in on Cody out of respect for the Dream I assume. He still puts over Jericho even though I know they had some run in recently.

    I don't agree with everything he says regarding modern wrestling, but he makes some valid points. Ever since he started calling the one Young Buck who doesn't sell shit "Road Warrior Buck", I can't stop noticing it. He also may be the foremost wrestling historian in America. I would love to see him have something on the Network related to that. On that Darkside of the RIng about Montreal, he was laying out how he got the idea from a match in the 30's or something.

    It will never happen, but once fans are back could you imagine him jumping the rail, clocking one of the Bucks with his tennis racqet and managing FTR. Nuclear heat with that smark crowd.

    He knows his wrestling history for sure and he took detailed notes of everything he did while working and has those books in his house. And I disagree with him calling AEW a mud show and an embassment, but like you I agree with some of his criticism. AEW is fun, but there are a few things they do that do annoy me.

    Also for an extreme anti Trump liberal, he has a lot of controversial takes that make you cringe. He hates the cross dressing guy in AEW, he makes numerous comments about how all the female Japanese wrestlers are the same to him and he is very anti women's wrestling in general. I'll find myself agreeing with some his rants then all of a sudden he'll say something that makes you wince.
