Re: IMPACT Wrestling Official Thread

Chris Jericho in an interview with comicbook.com "Our roster is jam packed as it is," Jericho said. "And I think our involvement with Impact has been pretty much what it should be. I'm not saying this in an egotistical way, but AEW is at a completely different level than Impact is. S...

Re: ALL PURPOSE NEW TALENT/SPECIAL ATTRACTION THREAD

Nobody is going to care in the long run. WWF dropped Owen Hart in the middle of a PPV and still went on. They honored a murderer in Benoit. Nobody cares. Having your champion lose to Kenny Omega is not nearly as bad as those things. Nobody will care about this in 2022 or any year after that. It's l...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

Hopefully they see how it goes in July and adjust from there. July is when AEW, WWE, and MLW are all scheduled to resume touring with fans.

Certainly not by Best in the World but hopefully we could get some people in the building by the time Death Before Dishonor rolls around.

Re: ALL PURPOSE NEW TALENT/SPECIAL ATTRACTION THREAD

Anybody else would do what Omega is doing given the opportunity. "Hey, do you want to be the world champion of three of the top 15 wrestling promotions in the entire world at the same time?" Nobody is going to say no in that situation. It's bad for AAA and Impact in the long run but that's...

Re: ALL PURPOSE NEW TALENT/SPECIAL ATTRACTION THREAD

Let's also remember that AAA just ran a PPV on four days notice and they have no idea when their next big event will actually be. They are the least professionally run major promotion in the world by a large margin. Anyone willing to work for them would find ROH to be pure class in comparison.

Re: ALL PURPOSE NEW TALENT/SPECIAL ATTRACTION THREAD

How annoying. ROH loses out again. Fuck Omega too. He's not signed with AAA. If he were he couldn't also work Federacion Wrestling. This means nothing with regard to his ROH status. And it's not like being with AAA would limit his ROH options in the first place now that ROH isn't affiliated with CM...

0% chance that Omega takes a pin at Triplemania unless he has already lost the AEW title first.

Re: What do you think about the new belt?

It looks like the Divas title or Cody's stupid neck tattoo. Absolutely terrible. The ROH World Championship is the best world title belt right now. The AJPW Triple Crown belt is awesome too. Yes to all of the above. Is there a worse world title belt in any major promotion than this? Impact Knockout...

Re: AEW Discussion

It just shows a lack of thought on their part. There is absolutely no reason for two babyface managers (or one manager for Darby and a half dozen for DO) to be brawling outside the ring. Chris Jericho said they are JUST NOW starting to have production meetings to make sure they don't do the same shi...

I'd be surprised if they run 10 shows before they go under.

They booked a lot of high end talent. To pay all those people they will have to sell quite a lot of $20 PPVs.

Re: IMPACT Wrestling Official Thread

9300 buys via TV providers, unknown number via streaming providers. Even if it's double the TV numbers that's still sub-30,000 buys. A nice payday for Impact to be sure but hardly worth centering your entire promotion over for an indefinite period of time. Especially when TV is down in 2021 vs 2020....

Re: Rush's promotion in Mexico?

The Paypal address associated with this new promotion is brutalsexmusic@gmail.com. I'm gonna go ahead and guess that isn't Sofia Alonso, haha. Sounds like a concert promoter as luchablog speculated. Also the press conference had serious audio issues and they have some typos on their match listings. ...

Mike Johnson is reporting there are no ongoing talks between MLW and WWE.

This is down 25,000 viewers from last week. Demo rating is flat.

Re: Boxing or MMA?

I watch every televised boxing and bare knuckle event I can manage to without screwing up real life commitments. I will watch MMA and I consider myself a fan but if there's a low level boxing event on at the same time as a top level MMA event, I'm watching the boxing event. I might do a split screen...
