General Wrestling Discussion

All Punk wants to do is win the rumble and main event mania. I don’t think he cares too much about being a champion. Rollins also wants to main event Mania. He doesn’t have to win the match.
I can't believe I'm about to say this, but giving Punk the '92 Flair treatment and having him win the rumble at #1 (or 2,3) wouldn't be the end of the world for me. Too bad he didn't show up with the AEW belt for maximum Flair effect.
 
I'm kinda curious if Jade might become Tom Magee 2.0 -- ie, great look but can't do much beyond the basics. (I don't know a fucking thing about her beyond her look so this could be way off base.)
If you watch her first and last matches in aew you will see zero difference. It's clear she's been trained in the basics but had zero improvement on those skills over the course of 60 some odd matches.

Granted she was fed jobbers for 90% of the time but there never really any veterans who pushed her limits in the ring either.

She's apparently been training at the Dungeon 2.0 with Natalya.

On Tom Magee, give me rainbows but if they had something like the Performance Center and/or NXT in the late 80s (and given him a bunch of guys like Arn and Bret to learn from / get partly carried by) he'd have been Intercontinental level easily.

Oh well, that's why we've got Fire Pro and WWE 2K(year).

She got better when Danielson was helping her out but she was still given too short of matches to really improve. Her average match time was 4 minutes. Like what she was allowed to do in such in short matches became more crisp but that doesn't really help you out in the long run when you get 10 + minute matches on PPV's or feud matches.
Interesting, same way my Grandfather died, except it was a pack of feral First Nation youths.
 
are the FTRs still a thing?
I saw them in the ad for AEW The Other Show and realized I recall them in AAA about as much as AEW
Yes, their feud with the House of Black looks to be around so they can eventually be written off television. Though this does mean they aren't feuding with the whole roster again.

Getting his injured shoulder and hip fixed bc he had to do an elbow drop from the top rope on Jay White lying on the concrete floor bc the announcement table broke down before th spot happened
sometimes I think AEW is really fucking retarded, then I realize I don't think it enough

Forgot a detail.

"Getting his injured shoulder and hip fixed bc he had to do an elbow drop from the top rope on Jay White lying on the concrete floor bc the announcement table broke down before the spot happened and thus MJF got actually injured in a match where he pretended to be injured."
