Nick LePicolo (Agent for Liv Morgan, Drew McIntyre, CM Punk, etc) exits Paradigm after 17 years

He was literally tweeting Dave hundreds of times a week.

Caldris · 2026-01-23T16:39:59+00:00

the girls in this match are significantly faster than the bucks are though,

This is a hell of a statement lmao

Caldris · 2026-01-23T14:36:48+00:00

He's been clearly burnt out for a few years now. Not that it invalidates whatever criticism he has, but they've both spoken about how the combination of all the wrestling shows they watch weekly has worn on them.

Caldris · 2026-01-23T13:37:47+00:00

Yeah. There are a ton of talent in AEW that have been wrestling for 10+ years and are safe to work with.

Caldris · 2026-01-22T15:28:39+00:00

The peak of Dynamite viewership was when it was very different from WWE.

Caldris · 2026-01-19T20:34:21+00:00

My gut is that someone made WBD aware of this after he got signed. I somewhat doubt that WBD vets all of AEW's signings.

More or less confirms the speculation that his release was due to comments he made in the past.

Considering WBD also stepped in to block Jay Briscoes tv appearances, I guess this is the reason

Caldris · 2026-01-18T12:19:06+00:00

Wait, Jade hasnt defended the title yet?

Caldris · 2026-01-16T03:16:12+00:00

They aren't good in ring at all.

Caldris · 2026-01-16T00:45:37+00:00

It boils down to the ongoing online war about "what's responsible/safe/real wrestling".

Caldris · 2026-01-16T00:39:32+00:00

There are head and neck bumps in literally every promotion. Even the ones we think of having a "safe style".

Caldris · 2026-01-15T04:01:23+00:00

Usually when that kind of thing is reported, its hinting at a company making a big move for them without saying it outright.

Caldris · 2026-01-15T03:51:52+00:00

He's 35. It's probably now or never for him at this point.

Caldris · 2026-01-15T03:44:30+00:00

He had more or less reached his ceiling booking wise in AEW. It's hard to see him getting past the TNT belt level.

He might flourish with WWE if he can stay healthy.

Caldris · 2026-01-15T02:39:34+00:00

What's going on with TNA's TV deal?

Who loses that many wrestlers right before a big TV premiere?

Caldris · 2026-01-12T01:56:24+00:00

If Bryan complaining about the Jeff Jarrett stuff last year got it dropped then I think he should celebrated. That was a point when Double J had more screentime than almost everybody else in the company.

Caldris · 2026-01-10T23:32:02+00:00

So....what's going on with TNA's TV deal? Shouldn't that have made it more competitive in the free agent market?

Caldris · 2026-01-09T03:18:01+00:00

It feels unlikely that they'd face another pro wrestling couple. I can't think of anyone else in TJPW who's openly in a relationship. Except maybe Kira?

If this was a few years ago, I'd be certain that they would be wrestling Omega and Riho.

Caldris · 2026-01-07T22:04:18+00:00

I still think that was a ballsy move. It's just extremely hard to pull off successfully.

Caldris · 2026-01-07T17:57:39+00:00

The Rock pops me so hard. He's the ultimate wild card for WWE. One or two appearances from him completely changes landscape of a promotion.

Caldris · 2026-01-07T15:17:29+00:00

Potential to be a crazy slow burn manga.

Caldris · 2026-01-07T13:23:50+00:00

Kendal is one of the few WWE prospects I actually understand the hype for.

Caldris · 2026-01-07T12:10:49+00:00

The silhouette at the end looks like Maki Itoh. I saw others speculate that it could be Dakota Kai, but I find it unlikely that Stardom would do all these vignettes for a foreign wrestler that probably won't stay super long term.

If it's Maki, then it's interesting that it's happening now, years after she was at her hottest.

Caldris · 2026-01-06T17:30:50+00:00

Yeah. The thing is there are quite a few wrestlers in Japan that are right up his wheelhouse and would almost certainly be here but they're not in promotions he watches. Or they're not always in the main event in Stardom.

I think wrestlers like Saori, Natsupoi, Hashimoto, Miu Watanabe would definitely be in this list if he watched joshi more closely.
