Never a bad thing when there’s more money for the wrestlers out there

God I hope the ROH library somehow ends up on MAX at some point. Probably won’t but would be pretty sick if it did

Planned a trip up to Seattle next weekend to visit friends with the intention of squeezing WrestleDream in as well. Procrastination paid off as they reduced prices on some seats. I was on the fence about whether to get floor seats but cracked last night. I probably won't have the best view of the ring, but this'll be the closest I've been to the entrance ramp for a wrestling show.

There are reports that Lashley has signed with AEW

Signing 3 guys in their 50's who after 2 decades in the pro wrestling business have never been over, to reform a faction that was also not over, just to drag down a guy they've invested several months in trying to get over (Swerve) seems like a move that will hurt your business.

Lashley will be over for a month.

It'll be the same as WWE. When he originally came back, great reception, all that, a month later you could hear a rat piss on cotton.

He might have a chance with MVP and Shelton mainly because MVP can talk for him, but for a big, jacked dude, he has next to no charisma or mic skills.

Everyone likes to compare him to Brock but I can't see it for the life of me.

Why are people saying Lashley was not popular? He seemed quite popular enough with the Street Profits that they couldn't have a heel run since the crowd wouldn't stop cheering them.

Lashley isn't my favorite either, but neither was JJ so I'll give them a chance.

Yeah I'm a bit confused. Lasher was over up until the moment he left. It's what made his usage really confusing because he was getting very good reactions and yeah it f***ed up their heel turn plans for the Profits.

I was very skeptical when WWE first brought him back and the stuff he was doing with Miro was absolute shit.

But Hurt Business was awesome and got him over and he stayed over as the All-Mighty, cool entrance probably helped, but he was over.

AEW crowds are a bit different in what they like so maybe he falls flat, but it's not guaranteed, especially with MVP back doing the talking for him.

I remember watching Lashley debut for WWE against Simon dean when I was 13. Used to use The Dominator as his finisher back then. BRING IT BACK. Always liked him

The faction really helped propel Cedric Alexander to stardom. That Hurt Business rub was like strapping a rocket to his back.
