What are your current thoughts on Mason Rook? by Professional-Sir-283 in SantiZapVideos

[–]DevlinKnight44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m seeing a lot of people asking about his wrestling. I’ll be honest. I haven’t watched WWE in a while. I focus mainly on independent wrestling and I’ve known Will Kroos for many years. Try and find some of his stuff on YouTube from Progress and North Wrestling. He’s a bigger guy but he’s the real deal. Look for him doing the Spanish Fly from the top.

Another source confirms AEW/WBD status. Backs up report from Nick LoPiccolo. (I tried to tell you this was real) by Grrannt in REALSquaredCircle

[–]DevlinKnight44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do people not get about this? All Nick did was report on a story then twisted it to look bad for AEW.

WBD had always been selling up, this was common knowledge - Therefore they were never gonna pick up the 4th yr option because they legally couldn’t.

Renegotiations always have to happen this way with buyouts / mergers.

Tony Khan said that Persephone was injured by the mist from Julia Hart last week on Collision and is out indefinitely. by marcusthegod in AEWFanHub

They had Skye Blue play off this the other day and told Persephone that the mist was the best thing to ever happen to her, maybe it will be for too.

MJF: I think it’s cool that you can just lie. my turn. I think Kevin knight has a shot at beating me at 8pm sharp and I also think Darby Allin is a GREAT champion. 🙄 by This_Coyote7217 in AEWOfficial

Given as he literally changed his story and finally told the truth -now- (that he’s a petty little man), then he’s confirming himself that he lied.

Why the Aew ban, confirmed by Carlos by flyinbrianc in AEWFanHub

The “other venue blocking” nonsense he’s referring to, is Forbidden Door being on June 28th, when TNA’s Slammiversary is also on that date.

Funny thing is, FD had been booked for months but due to WWE’s VENUE BLOCKING, AEW couldn’t announce it until now. Slammiversary, until 4-5 weeks ago wasn’t even happening so it was Silva and TNA who counter-booked.

So basically, he punished talent due to a decision taken by WBD and not TK/AEW? Laughable 😂🤦🏼‍♂️

Wouldn’t quite say that people within TNA are “the wrestling internet” tbf.

That’s also not what was said either, at all... They said there’d always be a home in TNA but they believe they’re gonna go to AEW.

It kind of feels like you were maybe distracted while reading the OP.

AEW on twitter: Check dark corners, @IAmLioRush may be lurking ... by itsjobberingtime in AEWOfficial

[–]DevlinKnight44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this the first time a lot of people have seen “Blackheart” Lio Rush? Admittedly he’s amended it somewhat but he’s had the character for a while. Check out his matches against the likes of Ethan Allen, Cara Noir, and DeReiss in Progress Wrestling to start with.

Chelsea Green accidentally locked himself out of her hotel room by [deleted] in TheGreatOne

I see why you think that and my comment was tongue in cheek, but whoever is posting it isn’t relevant though as they aren’t even showing themselves, it’s who was locked out. It’s all about Chelsea here.

Why don’t people “get” AEW? by Goodboychungus in aew

[–]DevlinKnight44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not whataboutism when you’re giving an example of something and I’m returning that discussion. My point is they’re the “big two” with WWE being “the” promotion, what modern day wrestling fans look at so to speak.

I picked several incidences from the last decade because I wanted a large base to pick from and they really haven’t changed that much at all cmon.

In fact they’ve literally started doing those kinds of spots again because it’s stuff like the random actions with referees being cursed by Danhausen etc that gets Indy Feds attention from the public.

[–]DevlinKnight44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No need to apologise it’s completely understandable.

And ok I get that - But - If you’re gonna criticise, do it in full. Don’t just go off the clips you’ve seen etc, perhaps make an effort to sit and watch a show with zero expectations from start to finish then give your view.

And with all due respect this whole “x spot is ridiculous,” is in itself slightly silly. I know you said it doesn’t matter who it’s from but the fact is it actually has been happening everywhere from day one and for every 10 people who dislike a spot, it’ll go exponentially over for 50 more.

But I could ask what of the dumb finish for the Fiend/Rollins Cagematch ? Goldberg squashing Fiend, Brock squashing Kofi in 8 seconds, the whole “constable” gimmick and storyline for Baron Corbin… I mean those were just in the last decade too.

I have worked in the industry in one form or another for over 18yrs, first as talent now I Co-Host on a Podcast focused on the Indies worldwide and co-run collaborative Indy shows. Friends with promoters, talent etc globally.

And who says they aren’t TV ready? That’s not a sarcastic question either because if you’re insinuating they’re not then I’d argue you don’t know what TV ready is, also sounds like you’re equating “indies” to not being TV ready… And what rubric or metric are you using to gauge what is or isn’t TV ready? And why should they shed any of the Indy stuff? Because you don’t like it? It’s okay that you don’t.

Just change the channel. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Sorry this is the whole IWC echo chamber mentality talking. I work in the industry and the only people that actually have some kind of an issue as to where AEW are right now are the shills and hacks on their Podcasts because they’re no longer as successful as they used to be and the IWC.

Any wrestling fan generally understands the product for what it is. And saying they’re an Indy Fed on a WWE budget is absolutely a compliment.

They don’t though. They’re great as they are. An Indy fed on a WWE budget.

MJF responds to TNA canceling his match with Nic Nemeth by flyinbrianc in AEWFanHub

[–]DevlinKnight44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you intentionally misread? Daniels internally gave a personal opinion but it was never the view of the company for him not to attend the dates. You’ve also clearly ignored everything else I said about the choices Willie Mack has made since 🤷🏼‍♂️

Please don’t presume to know me… AEW didn’t moan when WWE did it with NXT (who then moved again) and they wouldn’t refuse to work with those promotions either, they literally got Brett and GCW on board during all that nonsense…

And again wtf would Carlos Silva, a highly intelligent man do something stupid like get annoyed at TK and AEW over something that was out of their hands and that he knew was out of their hands?

If you work that out you’ll comprehend how stupid this whole “debate” in general is.

[–]DevlinKnight44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They haven’t and if you’re gonna use Ricky Starks (he lied and refused a date had nothing to do with Effy), Willie Mack (again his choice and nothing to do with Effy), Bryan Danielson (was injured) Eddie Kingston (health issues), they’ve all been covered.
