All-Purpose News Thread Part II

Lio Rush is on his way out of AEW. I'm sure Tony's infamous New Year's Eve tweet had something to do with this.

Or it can be that Lio Rush is a shit head and a pain in the ass to work with.

 

[I Hart Conor Garland]

Anyone wanna show me anything good Lio Rush has ever been a part of? I only know him from the point in time he was standing outside the ring chanting LAAAAASSSHHHHLLLLEEYYYYYY, and encouraging Bobby to bend over and pop glute poses.

It's like Cornette: If you end up being fired/quitting every job you've ever had in acrimonious fashion it's quite likely YOU are the problem.

When WWE had a poor showing at MSG all the AEW fanboys here were giggling like schoolgirls over it. Now AEW draws flies and there's not a peep about it. Funny how that works.

More than AEW fanboys mock McMahon's attendance woes. I have no skin in the game with AEW and have only watched it twice. I have been all over McMahon because he deserves every bit of criticism for the crap he has been rolling out for years. Mocking AEW is futile. That is like mocking an AHL team propped up by a billionaire. It competes artificially not because of the content.

It’s funny how you care so much.

This is just a bad look. Be better Tony.

Lol

Honestly, the person who made that tweet needs to seek professional help.

Randos on Twitter isn’t news

this is a news thread.

 

[Apex Predator]

If you go on the AEW website you’ll see the correct records. Those are not it. That tweet is misleading.

What to we say on HF? Trust the folks with sources.

 

[NextBigThing]

Everyone settle down. It only includes TV matches, not the YouTube shows no one watches.

I would have posted in the AEW thread, but I don't have permission. I think some mod here worked himself into a shoot lol

 

[TD Charlie]

Could it be that the folks on TV are the ones who draw?

As for the blurry ass photo, and zoomed out photo of Rampage, we are all well aware that Rampage doesn't happen until roughly 1030 for the live audience right? When I went recently, they had a couple Dark matches from 630-745, held Dynamite live from 8-10, do a ring change over and a piss break, and then they film Rampage from 1030-whenever it ends.

A lot of people leave to beat traffic once Dynamite ends, and in my case the Rampage went a little long so not everyone stayed until midnight. I didn't get home until well after 1.

That being said, the crowd was still white hot for the Rampage taping. Probably the best part of the night actually.

Not to go down this road but I do see Powerhouse Hobbs as a future AEW champion. I know earlier there was talk of lack of POC but I do see him in the future as a champion.

Im not sure how good his mic skills are or will be but even with a manager like Taz or someone else I see star potential with him.

Lots of guys in line before Hobbs IMO. That might take a few years

They put just as much emphasis on the TNT title, sometimes more. I could see him dethroning the next baby face champ this year.

 

[Khelandros]

Does anyone know what kind of contract he could have possibly signed? He signed in September and is leaving in February, did he sign a 6 month deal?

They might just have agreed on terms for a release.

 

[Unholy Diver]

Maybe he just told AEW he retired

 

[NextBigThing]

Tony doesn't release talent, only evil Vince does. Lio obviously signed a 5 month contract and it expired weeks after he called out his boss. Nothing to see here.

I believe some talent have signed 6 month contracts.

I'm at the point where I legitimately think it's impossible for you to have a rational thought at this stage. For a guy who "Doesn't watch" professional wrestling, you sure do like to flap your fingers a lot online.

 

[GKJ]

Sounds like the GCW show didn't go over well.

At this point it’s obvious the person is trolling to get a reaction out of people. Why aren’t they blocked? They bring nothing to conversations except trying to stir the pot.
