Pro Wrestling! (For Everything WWE, Impact, Indies, AEW, & Japan !) 2021

When it comes to sponsors they should have pick their spots. Using Jericho getting cut up by a pizza slicer as a Segway to a Dominos commercial wasn't the best idea.

That's got to be the most jarring commercial segway since an episode of the Walking Dead from a few years ago where a scene of zombies ripping open a victim and eating his intestines went right to a KFC spot advertising their new BBQ chicken.

They did make a point of saying how Christian's win, even as part of a six-man match, would move him up in the rankings.

Same was said of Kingston.

Personally, I'd rather they wait to feed Christian to Omega for two reasons:
1). Build up Christian more; and
2). Give more time for the promos which will be amazing.

Eddie feels like the better filler feud IMHO.

There's now going to be tons of Indy shows with bloody Domino's Pizza spots after this.

next gcw show i'd be selling nic gage

Cultaholic was covering some stories that said that WWE was running a “smear campaign” against AEW about the pizza cutter incident - trying to blow Domino’s reaction out of proportion, looking to try and make the story more maintstream, etc.

Not going to lie, as a Social Studies teacher, I’m kind of fascinated at how this plays out as an example of a market leader’s business tactics in an entertainment industry, especially in interaction with the wrestling news media; I’ve long since come to the conclusion that Vince is a *genuinely* great and dangerous businessman, probably the best in his industry, but his believe he’s anything but a mediocre booker gets in his own way… and with that fact becoming public knowledge in a wrestling new industry that has arguably *grown* even as the industry itself sinks, some of his old tactics aren’t as effective anymore.

And when examining how de-facto monopolies work in luxuries like entertainment genres, it’s fun to notice how the existence of AEW basically shows where an entertainment genre simply can’t be cornered the way a more physical commodity can.

I'm also reading that Adam Page is not the plan for Omega's next PPV opponent. Now, that's either an incorrect report/rumor. Or....just who is gonna be Omega's next PPV opponent??? If Page is out, something suitably big must be replacing him. Not necessarily Bryan or Punk, but Chistian maybe? Gotta be somebody of a higher level.

Omega might not be defending his title at the PPV....they could break out the trios title and have Omega/Bucks vs ????

Jericho vs MJF might be the main event

It seems that WWE has released Bray Wyatt

It seems that WWE has released Bray Wyatt

Yeah, I just read this.

I'd like to know the details because if it isn't a mutual thing, this will just another waste of talent.

[Immortal Weapon]

Bray's release is true

Get him on the phone Tony

Could be drugs...Wyatt is losing weight but it's likely another big contract the WWE is taking off it's books which means a sale is coming

A possibility occurred to me: We know Omega is still battling some injuries (hernia, etc) because his "innings" are still being "managed." And so what if AEW is trying to push Omega vs Page down the road a bit more because they want it to to be a MOTY type match and they want Kenny more healthy for it?

[titanfan]

Whatever the case with them changing the Orton/Wyatt match outcome right before Mania, I'm assuming it's related. Dude is talented, if he wants to wrestle still, he'll have no shortage of job options.

Crazy idea time: Malakai Black and/or Bray Wyatt (who eventually comes to AEW) turns The Dark Order into a heel faction via purges and dramatic betrayals? A mutual build up of both the stars and that faction?

[mrluck_07]

According to Meltzer Wyatt's release was due to budget cuts.

Not a bad idea!

[Immortal Weapon]

With negative 1 being in the dark order I doubt the stable can go back to what it use to be. Better off creating another dark stable.

It was said that weeks ago a new insider trading type lawsuit was gonna hit the WWE as the company had settled one months ago. This one was gonna be more expensive and the big cost is what were seeing happen more than likely.

No idea what name Rotunda (his real name) will use in AEW or elsewhere. But he could be perfect to re-turn the Dark Order back into a heel faction and make them dark heels again.
