All-Purpose News Thread Part II

[eXile3]

Kylie Rae seems like she’s got some mental issues that she has/had trouble sorting out. She’s good, and I hope she does. But it seems when she’s been put in a big spot, something in her mental state seems to trip and she abruptly retires. It happened once in AEW already, then she surfaced in Impact and she no-showed a PPV title match. Now she’s in NWA and freelancing again, maybe that’s the way she wants it.

I know she's had some issues recently but didn't know they were that prevalent. She's got to do what's best for her.

Oh, a note from the other day, it appears Smackdown on December 31 won’t be an arena show but some sort of year-end special that will air on FS1. Fox is airing a new year’s eve show like everyone else does and expecting a poor rating, Nick Khan didn’t want to air a show. Also, Day 1 is supposed to be a thing every year, like a yearly tradition on New Year’s night, which I don’t know how that works when it’s a Monday or Friday (which isn’t until 2027)

The December 24 show will be taped I believe the week before, on Fox.

Gargano's deal has expired as of now

Gargano's deal has expired as of now

I wonder if we will see him in AEW or if he'll just take some time off to have his baby and enjoy family time.

I wonder if we will see him in AEW or if he'll just take some time off to have his baby and enjoy family time.

I'd guess both. He's already back on PWT.

I think O'Reilly also ends up in AEW to re-unite reDRagon (and possibly UE down the road in a potential Cole/Omega feud)

 

[GKJ]

Yeah he’s not gonna stop. It’s not what they do. And I’m sure having a kid ain’t cheap. But the security and time off was there if he wanted it, WWE did not want him to leave.

 

[Unholy Diver]

He's supposedly back on twitch as well

If WWE thinks Gargano is leaving, I think it's odd they'd give him the big send off like that. I don't know if they have ever done that for anyone else.

They did it from Ambrose/Moxley

It's not unlike them. Instead of losing a grudge match, they had him get his ass kicked. They did it to build up HEAT.

Yeah I meant the big thank you speech. I only read about it so I don't know how it came across on TV.

 

[Megahab]

That's true. Although they did book him like shit those last couple of months other than The Shield reunion matches.

 

[Habsrule]

Gargano should be up on the main roster and give him a Daniel Bryan type of run. The smaller guy who can put on great wrestling matches. Have him in the David versus Goliath type of matches and have him organically win over the crowds. He is more than capable of it. Yet Vince doesn’t see him as a bulky muscular guy.

Guy had been through a lot. MRSA can be a motherf***er man. RIP Jimmy

Rock n Rave Infection was a GREAT jobber team. Very annoying. Did their job well.

 

[GKJ]

 

[JackSlater]

Too bad about Jimmy Rave. Seemed like a decent enough guy and he had awesome heat during a really good ROH period.

I mean that’s just an indisputable fact

not like their women’s division is the WWE women’s division when it was at its peak either. I don’t find it super appealing.

 

[GKJ]

I listened to the show, I don’t understand the problem there.

 

[NextBigThing]

Median age of a Dynamite viewer last night was 53. Oldest it's been in months. I thought AEW was like the cool, hip show that all the young people watched. Guess not. What can Tony do to attract the younger viewers?

Going to get you an iCare for X-mas considering how much AEW bothers you.
