I need to see Goto win the belt just to add to the bizarro decade we’re living in.

Well you got it

SRS brought up a good point on the Raw post show (I watched it for the part talking about the WWE/AEW releases), agents should be working in contracts with AEW and WWE that if the talent is healthy and hasn’t been used within a certain period of time then the talent has an option to opt out of their contract.

I stopped following AEW back in 2023, and picked it back up in December. This is a God-tier feud that I feel bad for missing out on.

So, what was in that syringe Hangman used on Swerve?

 

[BlaccSunrise]

,swerve doesn't like anything black women wise but maybe she turned him out.

Maybe he likes her other half

Its a double edged sword because it would expose you as a talent if you go to either promotion and you still fizzle out. We really need a viable 3rd promotion really to let everybody cook. I know TK is trying that with ROH but its got a long way to go.

What brought you back?

What brought you back?

My coworker showed me a video of Moxley choking out Danielson with a plastic bag, and he was talking about how Mox assembled a Klan crew

I said I may as well start following AEW again for the fukkery.

ROH is nothing more than a poor man’s developmental for AEW. It’s never going to be any sort of third viable promotion.

Problem is that there is so much money involved and the barriers to entry are even higher than it was 10 years ago. It took one of the richest families in the world with a son whose passion project is wrestling AND the perfect timing for AEW to become viable.

Our best bet is to hope for TNA to get a real media deal instead of whatever BS channel they are on and some nice outside investment. Then TNA could afford to pay people good enough that being a main eventer there can be looked upon as a viable option to being a lesser WWE/AEW talent without having to work indie dates to make ends meet. Then you might have the rare person who’s higher than that and says fukk WWE and AEW and just goes there anyway.

The good thing is that after all those years of hearing people working behind the scene in the company talking about that they was looking at getting the company on bigger networks has actually in up happening since last year with them being on Eurosport in India (same network AEW is on) and this year with Sportsnet 360 in Canada. So at least we know that they'll possibly be on a bigger network here in the states, but them options are stupid slim now with only Paramount Global (Paramount Network/Spike/TNN if you're old) and Disney (FX) are the only choices left now with WWE having Evolve on Tubi, those locking everyone out on getting a deal with Fox.

With ROH honestly, TK can possibly get it on TV, but whatever he's asking for ain't gonna happen that easily due to ROH's past history on struggling to be on TV and staying on TV (while being owned by a billion dollar corporation like Sinclair at that doing the time which makes it a really bad look). The CW and Tubi managed to get NXT and Evolve respectively on a low deal. So say if TK is aiming to get ROH on TruTV for an example, TruTV is only gonna bite is the asking price is either in NXT price or between NXT and Evolve price.
