AEW AEW XXXIX: Shots Fired!!!

[Sycho Sid]

Im surprised they put Miro over Orange Cassidy. Im also surprised I picked Miro as Moxleys replacement.

I think the original plan was to have Mox go full heel on Bryan, and either win, or hurt Danielson so much he could not continue. So Miro makes sense.

Remember when they said burying Kross on his first match on Raw had a purpose and to wait and see.

I think stopping watching WWE altogether is probably the best decision I’ve made in a long time.

Yeah, I barely watch it now. I'm sick of seeing talent being wasted.

Using talent is what AEW does so much better. Yes, they have certain stars that they push more, but at least the rest get time on Dark and Elevation, and generally, the roster gets used a lot better, and has something to do, other than just losing constantly.

I check out spoilers for Raw and Smack down, and YouTube clips on NXT.

 

[Fonx]

He signed a new contract with Impact that met all of his terms, including being able to work indy shows and AAA, then shortly after signing a new contract he asked them for a massive contract with guaranteed money, Impact was like "lol no, you just signed a new deal". Kross then asked for his release, Impact once again said "lol no, you just signed a new deal". Kross then proceeded to spend months trashing Impact in interviews and claimed Scarlett had to work as a waitress and live with her parents between Impact tapings to be able to pay bills. Finally after months of Kross trashing them in interviews, Impact let him go.

Dirt sheets later claimed WWE showed interest in him right after he signed his new Impact deal, so Kross was just either trying to get out of his Impact deal to go to WWE or get a WWE superstar deal out of Impact.

Impact must be trash either way. Josh Alexander tweeted only like a month ago that he was finally able to leave his construction job to focus solely on wrestling and that´s like one of their top guys.

So many vlogs, been only watching BTE and Sammy's every week and ignoring the rest, but Thunder Rosa dragged me in to another one.

oh shit @Tony K got Miss Sandra

Finally caught Dynamite:
- I´m all for squash matches. One of my bondest memories in wrestling was two scrubs starting the show and a top guy trashing the match and just delivering a promo establishing a hierachy in the show. That needs to make a comeback.
- The Elite vs Christian/Lucha/JB scrap seemed off to me.
- J.R completely drags the show. I love the guy, but he takes way more than he adds imho.
- Yeap Punk still got it on the mic. He´s one of the very best because he´s one of the very few that seems believable when they talk wrestling. Very very few people can do that.
- I have a feeling that more botches happen in AEW because wrestlers are more loose and they don´t fear any repercussion goign back thru the curtain.

I think that AEWs roster is bloated as it is, and shouldn't really take on more ex-WWE guys, but if I was a scout...

Out of all of the releases, I'd pick who most would pick, Keith Lee, who, as proven by his NXT run, can have bangers. Mia Yim isn't half as good, but can she talk?

That's the same with Killer Kross and Scarlett Bordeaux, though they both impressed me more in TNA than WWE. Kross has a great look and can go in the ring, yet he shouldn't be on the mic too much, and Bordeaux was gorgeous, charismatic and pure sex, but she looked rough in NXT. They need to do away with the overly elaborate theme too.

I'd like to see Harry Smith in AEW, perhaps as a part of Team Taz. Do away with the bulldog and the Union Jack stuff though. He isn't British. It's cringeworthy. He needs to be his own man and not play so much into his father's legacy.

Taya/Franky Monet has a lot of personality and is good in the ring.

Ember Moon? I'd like to see her on Dark and be rebuilt, though I wonder about her injuries. I wouldn't build a division around her, feel the same way about Ruby Soho.

Gran Metalik and Lince Dorado? I'm not a big fan of Luchas, but maybe they can do something with the Lucha Brothers and see where it goes from there. I can see those matches being spectacular.

Out of all of them? Honestly, Keith Lee is a no-brainer, but I'd also pick Harry Smith in an enforcer-type role. The rest of the above would be fun and have potential, but I'm not itching to see them.

I don't want to see her on AEW, but I'm curious to see what happens to Nia Jax. With two bum knees, I've got a feeling that's it for her.

Didn't realize Kross crossed Impact before he left, sounds like he had heat with Callis specifically, who I don't even know works there now or not. Kross could be shit out of luck. AEW won't sign him. ROH probably would have, Indys it is.

 

[A Pennysworth]

Tbh I dont want any of these recent releases in AEW. Its started to look a bit bloated as it is. And they say they are all about home grown talent.

They only work one weekend a month in Impact. They film 4 weeks of TV during one weekend. I read Kross was asking for 150k a year guaranteed to work that one weekend a month lol

If Alexander is making more money working one weekend a month and working the occasional indy, than he did working full time in construction, that sounds like a decent gig.

oh shit @Tony K got Miss Sandra

Sandra has been a fixture on Sammy's vlog almost every week lately. Cool seeing the wrestling gear OG getting some shine and coming out of retirement to work for the good guys.

<Lmaoo>

 

[Max Power]

A damning indictment. I didn't even know that Luchasaurus was there.

 

[GoldenAzazel]

Most of those guys had the same gimmicks and made a name for themselves before NXT as well.

Yeah the end of it (chair shots) ventured into bad guy territory. Imo.

According to Bryan Alvarez, Samuray Del Sol actually has heat in AEW now over the Brodie tweet. Brodie's wife was supposedly "furious" over it backstage that night and Jericho was defending her. Supposedly others are mad also and Samuray Del Sol won't be welcome back in AEW any time soon.

Meltzer is saying that Brodie's wife is so mad because Samuray Del Sol never talked to her after he died and she didn't feel he was that close to Brodie in WWE anyway, so he shouldn't get to "name drop" him.

I really hope this is bullshit and we're not getting to WWE levels of petty heat in AEW. If a dead guy's wife can dictate who works there over tweets, we could have a problem.

Think alot of people in that company need to stop name dropping him.

It's getting to the point of being exploitive.

At least the heat is not just over someone who has English as second language spelling a name wrong.

He's from Chicago, Spanish is his 2nd language lol

All of the people defending him with "ESL" tweets assuming because he's brown that he didn't speak good English was hilarious.
