There was a take on the situation on Konnan's podcast that sort of made sense: her position as Brand Officer is kind of outdated since it involves making deals with other companies...and we know Nick Khan is taking over for her in the interim. He's been instrumental in getting some of the odd yet lucrative deals like advertising that Netflix zombie movie for a million dollars. Plus she's been working almost consistantly for the company since 1999 (Cornette remembered her interning there before he left for Louisville). She'll need some time to reevaluate where she'll be in the company by the time she comes back in addition to all the above about her family.

What's hilarious are the journalists trying to take a moral high ground, but then saying that there might be a bigger issue at hand. Bix was thinking he was a big boy journalist by saying Stephanie removed her time at WWE from her "experience " section of her LinkedIn.

That section is meant to show future employers your experience in similar fields or fields of employment that can translate well to the positions you are applying to...ie: looking for a job or updating a resume. LinkedIn's resume builder pulls directly from this section for work history. Corporate sourcers can also use boolean searches for specific job titles. Bix would know this if he..ya know...was attempting to find any kind of meaningful employment.

TL;DR: Stephanie is actually taking time away and doesn't want recruiters trying to contact her for work.

I think part of the issue is that during the build up to this show, we had the ROH purchase and the NJPW joint show announcement. This saw an influx of new titles and talents being crammed into the show, derailing the direction for this event, and making everything kind of a mess.

Nah, don't blame that. I've noticed that with practically every AEW PPV since the beginning that they'll move storylines at a glacial pace for 2 months and then with two weeks to go decide to speedrun as many storylines as possible in the hope they can build a PPV card. Ever since Tony leaked that old PPV card at the NFL game it's clear that he doesn't really plan that much out in advance which is a huge issue when it comes to building to a major PPV.

So, we have two companies that can't seem to be able to plan in advance. Great.

Meanwhile New Japan almost has the opposite problem and knows who's going to win at the Tokyo Dome next January and plans out THREE round robin tournaments every year.

As an aside, it looks like fans might be able to start cheering again in New Japan next month, so at least the shows won't be so eerily quiet.

>You aren't allowed--

Actually, yes, he IS allowed! Despite all appearances to the contrary, telling the truth is NOT illegal! Being an asshole isn't mutually exclusive, in fact sometimes it enhances the experience! :smug:

I've watched enough Cody matches between ROH & AEW to assume a lot of that shit is Austin Theroy's fault.

Don't feel sorry for these hypocrites. This is the same outlet that went dumpster diving in Lars Sullivan's post history on a body building forum and basically ruined his career for clicks. This nut is all about cancel culture when he can benefit from it.

Well my respect for him has gone way up.

Granted, Nyla wasn't the first women's champion of AEW (and to be fair, TNA crowned Eric Young a women's tag team champion, so the precedent has been eviscerated already for women's titles), but I understand the point.

I really wish someone had the balls to go full Andy Kaufman and identify as a woman in kayfabe so he could have "easier competition" and win the women's belt. Could also put a real woman over huge upon beating him.

ringside news has been trash forever (note: entertaining trash) and watching them melt down is the kind of vicariously-cringy fun that makes them the trash they are. they'd thrown super unprofessional tantrums before and had to apologize to wrestlers.

many years ago when i wanted the dirty gossip that my guy wade keller was too prim to report i would go to wrestling inc, which was full of blatant inaccuracies, misspellings, "news" that got debunked hours later, and southeast asian writers with autistic author bios.

when (maybe 5, 6 years back) wrestling inc. began craving access and legitimacy, they became less trashy, and i stopped visiting them. for me, visiting ringside news always felt like the equivalent of a desperate alcoholic drinking fortified wine. it's like a parody of the worst implications of the term "dirt sheet" -- utter lies and clickbait written by barely-literate retards grasping for clout.

it's classic that they go down in flames while getting wrong a basic wrestling fact (the name of the first AEW ladies champ)

ofc you can have whatever opinion about nyla as a wrestler or a, uh, gender specimen but if you deny the trump-level GOATed twitter skills you're just a hater

jesus that would be a great angle-- 100% the kind of thing a clever indie would have done for headlines back when wrestling was still full of outlaws. i guess Santino Morella sort of did it, but the political climate was v different back then.
