Wrestling thread

It looks like more will be coming sooner or later but damn Grimes had talent he deserves better maybe room for TNA for him or any company not AEW

Spring cleaning time for WWE it seems :c

@Icicle Niceicle 1517
Looks like it

Cameron Grimes had a run in TNA before. He’d be a good pickup for them. Besides, he’s only 30.

Devasted that CG got released. Love him in NXT.

Long live Trevor Lee!

@Icicle Niceicle 1517
But at least they’re not gonna be out of business anymore now that they’re less hated after WrestleMania XL.

AEW on the other hand…

TKO Group’s orders, probably.

They closed Dynamite with an angle where Tony Khan reinstated Jack Perry and then Perry and The Young Bucks beated up Tony Khan.

@Holofan4life
They were doing what a lot of people wanted to do to Khan tbh

They even had Tony’s father Shad to come out to check on him.

I hope Khan is alright, otherwise it will make people have more reasons to hate AEW and wish them out of business because the internet said so, just like they used to do with WWE.

I’m pleasantly surprised to see that most people dig the angle. I will admit that I’m starting to see the benefits of showing the All In footage. I don’t know if you can do this angle without what transpired two weeks ago.

@Holofan4life
I will just say that CM Punk is laughing his Ass off about this Chaotic Mess LOL.

That End Angle was straight right off WCW(like Eric Bischoff doing something out of Desperation or Vince Russo booking with throwing something against the Wall & hoping that it sticks) or TNA(2010-ish), I had a chuckle for sure XD

By the way, Swerve Strickland is already feeling like an Afterthought good Job TK.

Maybe Tony should just forget about WWE and be a wrestling show

I’m done doing trolling on IWC and be more mature like i don’t watch wrestling much because of Marvel Contest of Champions and Helldivers 2

My opinion on this really depends on what the follow-up is going to be. Are they going to do a hostile takeover angle with The Young Bucks ousting Tony Khan? How are they going to explain why Tony Khan doesn’t just fire The Elite? I don’t want Tony Khan to become a reoccurring character going forward, but he has to at least have someone defend his honor. And I think it’s going to be Kenny Omega.

I know Omega is supposed to be on Dynamite this Wednesday, so perhaps Omega gets beaten up after saying The Young Bucks crossed the line. This leads to his triumphant return when he gets healthy.

It should be noted that when Tony Khan got beat up, it was more cheers than boos. So, maybe The Elite becomes ultra baby babyfaces after this? If this jolts Jack Perry into the main event scene, I don’t see how you can view it as anything other than a success.

The Mayor of London Sadiq Khan says that if he wins re-election, he’d want to bring in major sporting events like Wrestlemania, the Super Bowl, and the NBA Finals to be hosted in the Wembley stadium

Triple H seems open to the idea of a Wembley Wrestlemania

@Holofan4life
…So pretty much a Lame rehash of the nWo Angle back in the 90s? Bucks & Perry are not f#cking Hogan, Hall & Nash, if that’s what TK/AEW have in mind throw that Idea right in the Garbage Can.

Kenny Omega is likely not competing again until the end of the Year, so that’s a long Stretch & that eWo(LOL) Angle already is most likely out of Gas at that point.

Jack f#cking Perry should NOT be a Priority above/over Talent like Jay White, Malakai Black, RUSH, Konosuke Takeshita etc. in the Company period. It just makes AEW look like Bush League rewarding Unprofessional Behavior like that eeyup. :o

#AEW #WTFIsTonyKhanDoing?

Dominik Mysterio is going to be out of action for 9 months, due to him needing elbow surgery

He’s still going to be ono TV but he won’t be doing any matches

Looks like Douglas J Davis is doomed footage showed him having a fight with a Uber driver and accusing him of Anti Semitism. Yeah Douglas you really f****d up

Tony Khan just said that the WWE is “like the Harvy Weinstien of the Wrestling industry”

That’s uh… quite the take there buddy

@Icicle Niceicle 1517
Welp, AEW will go out of business in the future… goodbye alternative violent wrestling, it will be monopolized by family friendly gimmick wrestling aka WWE.

Just out of pure fairness, I must I interject here. WWE has become much more violent in recent weeks, since the full takeover of Triple H. Obviously, its still shown at a lower TV age rating that AEW, but it has definitely jumped up a notch or two. But its Horses for Courses at the end of the day; I like both but there’s flaws on both sides

@Jb33124
Well, now that you mention it, this means blood is allowed on a TV-PG rating and it’s not only applying to just sports shows but also movies and shows in general?

Last time I checked, anything TV-PG isn’t gonna allow bloody violence, but with WWE really letting people show blood while still having that rating, it shows that times do change.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they make death matches, although it will be impossible with a rating like that.

The draft tonight was kinda lame, to be honest. The only major changes were Nia Jax to Smackdown and Bron Breakker to Raw. By the way, what was the point of that segment a month ago announcing that Bron was being signed to Smackdown if he was just going to end up on a different brand 4 weeks later? I have to assume he was originally supposed to stay on Smackdown, but injuries to Seth Rollins as well as Rhea and Dominik made them feel like they had to do this.
