All-Purpose News Thread Part II

Dave says the part about Rossy poaching talent forward WWE and blacklisting AEW isn't true.

Which really just raises more questions about what is going on and why Tony took a couple rails and went on twitter to gloat.

Does "rails" mean "lines"?

Yeah I mean something obviously happened to lead to Rossy being fired lol I would imagine Tony knows more then we do and the dirtsheets either don't know or aren't willing to say what it is.

 

[GKJ]

The ‘poaching of talent’ seems to lead to this.

Chicken fast food restaurant?

 

[Unholy Diver]

Chicken fast food restaurant?

Or maybe a small tropical island dictatorship?

 

[Emperoreddy]

The ‘poaching of talent’ seems to lead to this.

So this makes the large majority of the story make sense. Rossy hates Bushi, was planning to start up a new promotion and was already beginning to woo talent over while still employed at Stardom.

Tony's reaction seems off because Bushi could have overruled Rossy at any point if he was blocking Stardom and AEW from doing shows together.

Or maybe he just bought into those rumors that Rossy was somehow funneling talent to WWE even if it seems those are unfounded. Might feel it's his fault Giulia allegedly already made up her mind on where she is going state side. Idk.

Or maybe some different kind of an island? Get Hornswoggle to yell "The plane! The plane, boss, the plane" every time a visitor arrives?

I think it’s the latter. If there’s a Stardom exodus to this new promotion, who will be left to make it worth it? Does Bushiroad raid places like Diana and Ice Ribbon?

Kamille to WWE was seen as a done deal. Sounds like it fell apart and she is most likely to end up with AEW now.

 

[CDJ]

Would be a big get for AEW

 

[Emperoreddy]

Giulia is still committed to going to WWE but her break between March and the summer may involve helping Rossy get his new promotion established.

She apparently wants to do a lot of additional acting work alongside wrestling, which seems to be more doable in AEW then WWE.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Liv Morgan's criminal case in Florida is supposedly closed.

Cash Wheeler on the other hand is not. Prosecuters are moving forward with criminal charges of aggravated assault

 

[CDJ]

Boooooooooo free Cash, it’s not his fault he’s living in the wrong decade! In the 80s he’s king!

Just weeks after the company held its most successful weekend in years, Hard to Kill in Las Vegas, Scott D'Amore is out as the TNA President, PWInsider.com can confirm. D'Amore has been terminated by TNA parent company Anthem Sports and Entertainment. The belief among those we have spoken with is the decision came directly from Anthem owner Len Asper.

TNA parent company Anthem Sports and Entertainment will be stepping in and taking a much larger role in the day to day management and strategies of the promotion. TNA will be folded into Anthem’s entertainment arm going forward, as opposed to existing in its own corner of the company. The idea is that this will allow TNA to become embraced more by Anthem and have a stronger synergy, in order to maximize what each side has to offer the other. As part of that integration, D’Amore has been removed from power and is gone, effective immediately.

2024 has been crazy for wrestling news

 

[yahhockey]

Isn't Anthem the same company tied to the Sports Illustrated layoffs?

I'm wondering if they're going to announce Wrestlemania 41 will be in Las Vegas next year? Seems like a good time to announce it will be at tomorrows presser.

It was heavily rumored to be in Minnesota next year in what would likely be Lesnars last match, but that seems to be buried alive at this stage of the game. I'm wondering if they may switch plans and have it in Vegas.

If it's in Vegas I'll definitely be going.

I think it's going to be Wrestlemania 42 in Vegas.

Quite possibly. I'm just not 100% sure if they've locked in Minnesota yet. It was rumored that they were finalizing that deal, but I haven't heard that it's been officially announced yet.

I guess until they announce it, they're not, but I've read it's locked in, and Vegas will be 42. Maybe they will announce both, though.

Yeah, I feel like hell would break loose if they ditch the Minnesota plans. 42 makes sense.

 

[Emperoreddy]

They still got to announce where SummerSlam is this year.

I wonder if the locations will play into how this Mania is going to play out.
