JR confirmed that his contract is up soon. He said that he’s not looking to go anywhere…but…
Seems like Cody was a big supporter of him. Austin might be coming back. The AEW style doesn’t suit him. Whether it’s going somewhere else or just back to the WWE, that doesn’t seem like the strangest of shifts. And lol, if you’re not shopping around, why bring it up? |

Bumping thread for incoming Tony Khan Twitter meltdown when Cody shows up on Raw and says he got tired of trying to teach an intellectual 10 year old how the wrestling business works!

It's getting awfully boring, xrod. Nobody is disagreeing with you yet you relent. It's fucking weird dude.

Remember when people were calling TK a money mark, Dave was constantly defending him, then he went out and gave Shawn Spears a Stunner. All they could do was pull funny voices and say “he’s not a money mark” to defend it.

Christian hasn't wrestled in an AEW singles match since his loss to Kenny Omega at All Out on September 5
Has been in 5 multi-man matches since then, with the last one on December 29. Wonder if he is "banged up" or something or AEW is just not using him? I guess it's only been like a month and a half since he last wrestled so not so long to speculate about an injury Feel like Khan maybe paid him a lot of money too... waste |

Not a meltdown exactly, but Dustin Rhodes has been posting some weird shit about egos and trains on Twitter. Really going overboard with the rah-rah for AEW.

I am going forward with the story that Cody and Tony and the EVP's can all co-exist together and even have a good time when the situation calls for it. But the hard lines that Cody has for himself and his growth weren't really on the table moving forward at AEW because of the big names coming in. It makes sense. Cody's gotta go back to WWE and prove himself as a main eventer so he can come back to AEW and be a "real Champion". It's like no matter where he goes he's just not "the top guy" even if he was writing the show himself! Also, fuck you Cody! You sonofabitch! You broke my heart! |

It's frustrating because Christian wants greatness in wrestling and he's capable of it but also he's capable of coming off boring when he's not in any kind of specific story that is interesting. The only way out of this story right now is Christian eventually turns on the Lucha Express and has a nice feud with Jungle Boy to "get him on that next level". It's just frustrating in AEW sometimes. They have so many really amazing former WWE talent that can do really cool fun matches with a lot of former indy talent, just so many matches we've never seen that would be fun. Often times tough they are booking a level below that though and we get a Danielson vs Moriarty, probably not the best example because that match was really good. But what I'm saying is wouldn't you have rather seen a Danielson vs Chris Daniels match, or vs Pac, or Penta, or Malakai or Andrade or The Bucks or Brian Cage or Archer or Jay Lethal I mean the list goes on of interesting matches that people will be interested in. It may not always be an interest level that hooks the casual audience but AEW can always hook that wrestling nerd audience and that's their core. |

In think they like to keep a lot “in the back pocket”. I’d guess Christian vs. Jungle Boy is probably the destination but you’ve got to let it “cook” for a bit if you want it to have impact. Same with the Danielson thing, they could put on all those matches but they can also keep them tucked in the back pocket for when they “need” them. Seems like they like to sprinkle a couple of matches on each show to get the audience to tune in, might be they need to start working at that “next level” if they want to get that audience above the million more often.

Dustin has to keep sucking up to Tony because unlike his brother who kept it classy, this idiot went out of his way to bury WWE every chance he could.

I think the roster is big enough and they have few enough hours on TV to go ahead and start booking on that higher level. They shouldn't be juggling 350k viewers each week, keep them hooked.

It’s not the first time Dustin has been a bit cringe on Twitter, probably won’t be the last, but I’d say that “proving himself” to AEW perspective lends true.

Christian Cage vs. Jungle Boy might actually be the best feud AEW ever actually puts on. Lol if they never get to it.

TK cannot help himself. He’s planning something “massive” for pro-wrestling in the coming week. Fucking. Stop.

Was ring of honor not on television in 2021?
Cause Ian Riccoboni is better than everyone else, and it's not close. |

Agreed. And Kevin Kelly is doing better work than anyone in AEW. And JR is better than any of his AEW colleagues. But it’s all about what’s en vogue. A shiny new thing will come along and nothing will change about AEW but Excalibur will drop down the ranks.

It's the Bullet Cult that votes on this, and they worship at the altar of Dave Meltzer. These folks think that CM Punk is a better box office draw than Roman Reigns.

I feel like we are getting to know Tony and I think we can all agree fan of his or not that he is a bit reactionary. WWE is having a stadium show every other month it seems so I can see Tony getting hungry to get that look for AEW as well.

And I'd agree that Excalibur is the best announcer of the year. There is only one announcer that never annoys me though and that is Tony Schiavonie.
