Comments that don't warrant a thread - Part 4
Not to be a Debbie Downer, but anyone else feel kind of uncomfortable watching Misawa matches (especially ones later in his career)?

Considering both the fanbase and the people in charge of AEW, I'm kind of surprised we haven't had a Ken the Box reference yet.

Bron needs to ask his dad if they're related to the Creeds, Brutus in particular has strong Rick Steiner vibes.

That's awesome to hear. As much as we banter about it, it's really not that difficult to book wrestling. Get good guys the crowd can get into, some villians to get in their way, and at the end of the day the hero triumphs. Sure, sometimes shit happens, people get hurt or leave or lose their smiles, but the theory behind it is as old as time and always works.

It's good for the newbies to have someone to learn from, but my god is Pete Dunne being wasted in NXT. Also yes, the Creeds absolutely should win the tournament. It's funny how Diamond Mine is the best thing going on NXT 2.0 and very little has to do with Roddy. The Creeds are great, Ivy going out there and just ragdolling folks is awesome, and of course Malcom the Tall King rules.

Wendy Choo's gimmick has crossed into "so stupid it went all the way around to being awesome" for me.

The Creed Bros and GYV having a banger tonight. It's scary how good the Creeds are this early, and they are over as fuck with the NXT crowd.

The real comparison to modern WWE: Latter days AWA?
Vince very much reminds me of out of touch Verne these days. I'm remembering the story of how Verne didn't get what the name "Midnight Rockers" meant because he thought it was referring to rocking chairs. Also Verne's insistence on relying on older guys was another similarity to modern Vince. Some of that was out of necessity, but the AWA had a bunch of aging legends pretty much all the way to the end. They weren't going to win over any new/younger fans with a bunch of guys that looked like your uncle and his friends drunk at the family picnic.

I know it was his hometown, but is Lashley actually supposed to be a babyface now? He's feuding with Brock, who was the clear babyface against Roman, so it's all confusing.

Street Profits vs Alpha Academy was a banger as well, Montez continues to prove gravity is optional for him.

Jesus that powerbomb into the wall by Rollins was scary

Bianca getting to meet Jackie Joyner-Kersee was a pretty cool thing, I remember watching her in the Olympics when I was a kid and she was unstoppable.

On WOR last night/this morning Dave is pretty confident that Keith Lee will be showing up here soon, but he doesn't know for sure he's the guy debuting on Wednesday. Also all reports seem to indicate people in AEW are thinking Keith Lee is going to be the guy showing up. One thing for sure is it won't be Jeff Hardy, as he's still under a non compete.

Joe was released on 1/6/2022 so I'd imagine 90 days from then.

His obsession with Ted Turner to the point he would send letters to advertisers concern trolling about the "self multilation" (sound familiar?) that Ted Turner's Wrestling Company would do.

Yeah I 100% want to see it happen for the LOLZ but I don't really want any more crappy Shane matches to happen anywhere in the world.

This. I almost want it to happen just to see the meltdown Vince would have.

True, but unlike certain other major wrestling companies, AEW tends to learn from their missteps so I wouldn't expect it to be a Christian level dud of an announcement.

WWE MIDCARD ROYAL RUMBLE 2022
Orton mentioning in an interview that Riddle grows his favorite strain of weed is probably both why that pairing works so well and why Randy has been awesome in and out of the ring as of late.

His announcement made it sound like it's a person who is eager to be gone from his last place of employment, so both Lee and Hardy would fit I suppose.

New Day vs Lotharios was a banger, gotta hand it to them.

Feels weird watching Erik in a match after his wife showed her entire far-right ass on social media.

Kayfabe wise this makes no sense since Goldberg has lost like 3 title matches in a row now, but I suppose MBS will be happy.
