He got WWE noticed as more "legit" writing wise when he wrote some scripts for them (the Hardy/Punk feud, his push for tag teams in the 2010s, the Jericho/HBK feud etc.) Then Vince had to start tearing up each RAW script hours before it aired. That man is his own worst enemy ...Originally Posted by Immortal Weapon
Biggest piece of news I heard was on the Hollywood Reporter (yes that one) podcast citing he was granted application for SAG rights for the cast and crew.
AEW should be fine with this because they are semi pro union but WWE is going to catch flack if he gets this off the ground. Makes me think the people that leave Freddie's promotion will end up with representation if they go elsewhere.
Macaulay Culkin is also backing it with money. You guys should check out a recent interview he did on his podcast. Sounds like he wants NWA meets WOW.
He's good friends with Sheamus and several of the men and women recently released.

I was totally unfamiliar with W. Morrissey before this AEW debut (but I just read his wikipedia some right now), but wow, he kinda surprised me. Great look (like Sid always had), and he could really move some. W. Morrissey benefitted big time from this loss, reading some in WWE were messaging about how good he looked in that match.
Wardlow was helped, W. Morrissey helped, a win-win for both. That's what wrestling is supposed to be about, heels and faces, winners and losers, benefitting mutually from matches.Last edited by JBatmanFan05; 05-06-2022 at 07:34 AM.

Grant Morrison: “Adults...struggle desperately with fiction, demanding constantly that it conform to the rules of everyday life. Adults foolishly demand to know how Superman can possibly fly, or how Batman can possibly run a multibillion-dollar business empire during the day and fight crime at night, when the answer is obvious even to the smallest child: because it's not real.”

Morrisey had a decent run in Impact which helped him as he's made his return. Last I heard he was on a per night deal there as his contract expired.

Koffy? Oh, you meant Kofi. Was that a typo, or auto-correct? Originally Posted by choptop

That sounds great but my concern is that there being too many wrestling promotions. We got WWE, AEW, Impact, New Japan, and CYN ( Braun Strowman's promotion), and now this potential one. I am a causal wrestling fan but I am limited on how much wrestling I can watch before I flip the channel to something else. But more promotions means more chances for up and coming and released wrestlers to find work. Originally Posted by BeastieRunner

I think that bolded fact is ultimately much more important than having a limited number of dominant promotions - especially given the current media landscape, where content is king and maintaining an actual entertainment monopoly is practically impossible. Even Disney has to stay sharp to compete with the average customers desire to just surf the web. The wrestling market is far healthier when up-and-coming stars have multiple promotions to try and stand-out on, because them building their brand and "getting over" on their own is far more important to the market and promotions than any one show's booking system.

They wouldn't want to drive AEW out of business, they'd just want to remain more profitable.Like action, adventure, rogues, and outlaws? Like anti-heroes, femme fatales, mysteries and thrillers?
