The Wrasslin Thread

Over 15k tickets sold in a day for SS(SD already sold out).

I wasn't sure about making it the War Games PPV as I always liked the traditional SS set up but it's quickly become one of the companies big events again after that last dreadful one of Vince's with the golden egg and making everyone think Rock was going to show up.

Do miss the champs from each brand facing one another though.

Part 2 Bloodline has all been a bit rubbish. They should've gone with Fatu as the lead, but obviously he came in too late. It is going to be long old slog until The Rock comes back.

Yep. Really confusing why they haven’t taken it down. They changed the text apparently.

Whoever changed Roman's music needs a slap.

Word is they are getting rid of Def Rebel in a couple months.
It's strange cause all the other Bloodline members have great tracks.
Romans didn't need changing. Or you just cut out the opening bit.

I caught Dynamite last night and it was bad. This isn’t a shitting on AEW post, but sorry it was bad. Starting out with Jericho and ending with The Bucks? Come on you can do better.

I guess they have hit their ceiling in AEW. What else can they do? I have a similar feeling to The Bucks.. but of course they are AEW.

I just hope they don't feud with LWO or something..

Only thing we missed from Lucha Bros was a TLC match with FTR and The Young Bucks, felt like that was going to be the plan for All In as their last match but The Acclaimed took their spot for whatever reason.

Would have been a great send off, but we got many a memorable match out of them anyway.

I haven't been following avidly, but if he did anything of note there I didn't hear about it. I always thought he was one of the better Big Guys (TM) in WWE when he wasn't getting bogged down in stupid Lana related angles - urgh, that Dolph one was the shits.

In fact, Rusev Day was a really good tag team... that lasted about four matches before being split up.

Also how long before Wardlow is released? Bloody Tony man. He hasn't got a clue at times.

Reckon he's waiting for his contract to run out. Shame because he had gotten over just a couple years back and should have been pushed to the main event.

Garcia also yet to sign a new contract and would be a free agent next month.
Same with Starks(though he might already be a free agent?).

Is it chances or booking? I think Starks has got over with the crowd, to then fizzle out with weird booking decisions. The same for Miro. He never has a follow up from his TNT championship run, because Tony got a new play thing from NJPW, WWE etc.

Starks has never really gotten over to any decent degree, even with plenty of mic and in-ring time. It's a bit of an unfair criticism but his size will always work against him. He's like a poundshop MJF and worse in all areas that matter. That pose he strikes too, it's awful 

Miro has had plenty of chances too and a lot of his own creative ideas were implemented and just didn't work. When they failed and (as rumoured) he said no to everything TK suggested what else can you do? His matches have left a lot to be desired too, especially when compared to the in-ring standard at AEW.

As much as you enjoy dunking on TK you can't blame booking all the time - look at someone like Swerve who didn't have the greatest booking but worked his ass off, never said "no" to anything, fluctuated up and down the card and gradually became one of the best wrestlers in AEW through hard work and talent (and was rewarded accordingly).
