Grimmjow316 Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Toni Storm walking out might have been the catalyst some needed to feel empowered to walk out. Sasha at least has dipped her toe into acting so she has some avenues, Naomi on the other hand let’s just say if you are a fan of her some concern is warranted. scorp and Jurassic 2 Quote Link to comment

Normally WWE would have kept quiet about it but seeing how they walked out when the show started it was out of their hands. I honestly want to see talent stand up for themselves more often like this. The current system is beyond broken and Vince needs to be force to see it's cracks Too bad Vince has made sure to surround himself with the same yes men from years past. I know people hate HHH but man him losing influence has messed a lot of things up. Quote Link to comment

Psychoblue Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 I saw the Cole statement on Naomi and Sasha. Given that WWE has never addressed things like this in this way in the countless other times this has happened since the Montreal incident, I'm leaning towards "work" for now, or at least the walkout happened but cooler heads have prevailed and now they're trying to work it into an angle.

HD-Man Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Idk if it's a work or not (the actual walk out) but Vince essentially talked through The Rock and buried Austin in the infamous "Get the F Out" promo after they said he took his ball and went home Quote Link to comment

One of them have to be "realistic" to get viewers and sponsors. Also, what are they gonna do with the universal title and the world title? Are they trying to be like boxing and such where fighters hold multiple titles? EDIT: Noticed that every time Paul Heyman says "it's not a prediction it's a spoiler" in his promos then usually what he says in the promos will come to pass. Example: USOs win! WWEs product is garbage but they’re making money hand over fist. It’s because their focus is on business and promotion. That’s why they can be emboldened rather than discouraged when a mass exodus happens yet their business only gets better. HD-Man 1 Quote Link to comment

She already dipped her toe in acting with the Mandalorian. During her first vanishing act she went to Japan trained in the Sandai girls dojo. She can walk away which strengthens her position HD-Man 1 Quote Link to comment
Grimmjow316 Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 I mean it’s quite obvious WWE is trying to send a message to the locker room. After the Jeff debacle and Tony Storm saying fuck it I’m going home, they could ill afford taking another “L”. You know it’s legit since this is the first time that I can remember that they completely removed merch from punished wrestlers. HD-Man 1 Quote Link to comment

HD-Man Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Rampage definitely works better live, the crowds more into it cuz they haven't been sitting all day during tapings. They should find a way to do live Rampage atleast twice out the month And Matt Hardy move around the ring like a log, shit time to retire bud😂 Quote Link to comment
HD-Man Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Reading dirt sheets, shit probably not true so take with a grain of salt: MJF no showed a fan meet and greet, then allegedly he just booked a flight out of Vegas Yikes, if true. AEW can not afford to lose MJF like they lost Cody. Again, nothing is confirmed but the meet & greet part (which may be a work) Quote Link to comment

Last I heard only the EVPs signed employee type contracts so MJF would still be considered an independent contractor like Sasha and Naomi. This is going to be an interesting gut check for TK if this isn't a work. The thing about this is that if it's a work, it serves no purpose. It's not as bad as when Jeff Hardy was reported unconscious in a stairwell only to reveal Edge knocked him out rather than what everyone assumed, but it's the same ballpark of "how does this work into the current angle?" Maybe him dodging Wardlow out of fear, but it's one of those things that if it is a work, it's best to just not do it and keep things as they are because this angle is hot enough without this gumming it up.

Joe didnt need the win he has the roh tv title. Adam vs dax down the line now has more parallels to hbk vs bret. Faces are more intriguing when chasing heels...

HD-Man Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Lemme add in Ruby Soho getting dicked again and for some reason Darby and Jeff having a random extreme rules match during a tournament dedicated to Owen, a technical wrestler I feel ya Maxx but nah, that shit was ass😂 On another note, just realized Punk seems to be growing his hair out again. I'm sure it means nothing but I wouldn't mind a run back of long haired SES Punk. That run was underrated and seeing as he was on a PG show at the time and got away with alot, I can only imagine what he'd get away with now Quote Link to comment
