Dolph Ziggler is the latest guy rumored to be throwing his name into the hat. Rumors suggest he could be done with WWE and turned down a producer role with them. He tweeted "big, if true" the other day.
I'm just annoyed by him spelling his name "Nic." I might get used to it. |

As much as I hate when TNA jump on ex-WWE guys etc, I'd be happy to see someone like Ziggler head to AEW and get a prominent/main event position.

Losing the 'Dolph Ziggler' moniker may hurt him a little though, since that's basically who he's been for the last ten years. But I'd still be happy for the man.

I think losing the name and all its baggage would help him at this point.

How would constantly jobbing to the Elite like they were the second coming of the Von Erichs help him?

If Vince freaked out about AEW about half as much as STD is, then it would mean great things for the industry.

If the Patriots lose in the Super Bowl, STD should change his avatar to the AEW logo.
Probably wouldn't, though. |

Sasha Banks and The Revival kind of teased something on Twitter that suggested that all parties were unhappy. It's not really a surprise coming from Sasha.

Not exactly major signings, but Beretta can be pretty exciting in the ring. I guess they're more bodies for the tag division.

Dunno if anyone else has mentioned this, but they should let Jericho be the booker if they are going to have talent handle booking. The other talent should all have some kind of avenue to voice what they want to him and have it taken seriously to an extent, but he should get the final call. I think he could put on a really good show.

Seems like Jericho would be must better served as a guy to sit in on production meetings, offer his two cents, help guys develop in the ring and maybe agent some matches. As far as bookers go, I wouldn't mind JR getting a proper shot at actually booking. The guy's got so much experience and what he wants sounds pretty logical, but he seems to give guys a chance to present themselves even if he doesn't always like their style. If he's going to be on commentary, him knowing where he wants stories to go and who he really wants to get over would definitely help with the overall tightness of the presentation. |

I'm also not against guys rotating as booker. There's no reason you can't have JR get a shot doing it for six months, then move onto someone like Jericho, and then Cody, then maybe back to JR, then to The Bucks or even Khan. If guys know what their start and end date with the book is going to be, they can tell deliberate arcs that last a certain time and maybe pass on some angles to other guys. JR can be a mentor to guys who get the book, as a perpetual assistant booker, or something like that.

We get it. You’re not interested in AEW. So get the fuck out of the thread.

I personally like the idea of Cody taking the majority of booking responibilites but I do think it will be a team effort. It's said Cody is in charge of singles, Bucks the tags, and Brandi the women, with Tony as the big boss role. So I think having a final say filter who has subscribed to the observer and sent in results for years is a positive thing. At least for me, a fan of the same ilk as Khan.

STD loves WWE so much, he has to come in and shit on anyone who enjoys other rasslin promotions - even if they aren't "official" yet.
It's very strange. |

Yep. Honestly I feel sorry for him because he has no self awareness of how ridiculous he sounds.

The only ridiculousness is the overhype of the company.

But why do you care so much that people are excited? You don't have to watch it, spend money on it, or even read about it. You can just keep scrolling past the thread. I've been doing it for weeks.

Because if it is overhyped and under-delivers the next company that tries it will fail. I don't like these idiots and who associate with garbage wrestlers like Joey Ryan and Chuck Taylor.

So because you think it might fail, you have to let everyone know how much you hate it instead of just letting people be excited about a new thing.

Even if your only perspective is that you love WWE and always have done, you should be rooting for this company and supporting any type of competition. It is the lack of competition that has enabled WWE to hoover up too much talent and not put any effort into their mundane, boring TV.
Even if it just forces them to think about people on the roster who are unhappy, it’s a good thing |

Did you know all of your favourite NXT wrestlers have willingly been involved in a dick flip, grenade and / or thumb up the butt spot? Many even consider Chuck Taylor and Joey Ryan to be good friends. Are you still going to watch NXT?

I personally don’t mind STD coming into the thread and speaking his honest feelings, but that style of criticism is just unreasonable. It’s very easy to see how different a company with potentially hundreds of millions in capital is different to GFW, TNA or whatever life Corgan has tried to breathe into the NWA. “They’re going to fail because people are excited” is silly too. That there is excitement is a good thing.
