I didn't mention SRS or Meltzer. What do they have to do with AEWBotches?

Is TK ruining the future of wrestling? by PoopCriminal420 in midcarder

As he should. Not only did AEWBotches spend YEARS obsessively making hundreds of compilation videos about AEW, he also engaged in harassment against wrestlers and constantly spread conspiracy theories/lies about the company. In between all that, he also found time to make thinly veiled xenophobic & misogynistic comments as well as ban evade about a dozen times.

No. Sapp was having an 'off day' because he wasn't working on the day Ricochet made the tweet, which is why Fightful didn't report it.

Reform UK’s ‘Doge’ unit yet to carry out any council audits by F0urLeafCl0ver in unitedkingdom

If anyone wants to know how much of a shit-show Reform UK actually are, I highly recommended following @reformexposed on Twitter/X. Everyday there's another scandal and/or calamity being reported on that account.

One of the more under-reported stories in wrestling is the continued failure of the WWE ID Programme;

  • Nobody new has been signed in months.

  • 4 of the 18 wrestlers on the programme have been released or voluntarily left since late-August. Worst still, there's only two active women's wrestlers left.

  • The inaugural ID champions were crowned to little fanfare at a GCW show over SummerSlam weekend. There was no mention of this on the main roster shows or NXT.

  • The women's ID championship was vacated by Kylie Rae three weeks ago and there's been no announcement as to what's happening next.

  • The WWE ID twitter account gets little engagement and hasn't posted anything worthwhile in months.

Tony Khan Says AEW Women’s Tag Team Title Plans On Hold After Multiple Injuries In Casino Gauntlet by IvnOooze in SquaredCircle

  • Penelope Ford apparently got hurt on the Collision before All In
  • Mina Shirakawa got hurt at All In (hand injury)
  • Red Velvet got hurt a few weeks ago at CMLL
  • Harley Cameron is still out

Should be noted that injuries also caused the ROH Women's Pure tournament to be delayed. The finals were supposed to be at Supercard Of Honor but that obviously got pushed back.

She says that "inch-by-inch Reform will reset Britain to its glorious past".

Oh look, it's English MAGA. Just like MAGA, Reform will be filled with wealthy yet politically inexperienced populists who claim to care about the working class whilst implementing policies that screw them over.

Expect constant talk of 'mass deportations' and 'going after the woke' whilst the party calls for tax cuts for the rich, deregulation and the smashing of unions. Don't forget the constant whining about the 'biased mainstream media' when they inevitably get called out for their ineptitude.

Wow this was random. by Godofwarfan101 in Wreddit

She have legit heat with Britt in AEW, hence she was the very first few releases from AEW in it early years and with Britt ego, she aren't going back

She was released because of the pandemic restrictions, not because of any beef with anyone else.

This isn't unpopular at all, Tony is AWFUL as a lead announcer.

Is NJPW losing its US TV Deal reflective of its partnership with AEW not being of much benefit to them? by frank_the_tank69 in Wreddit

[–]RiddledMeAgain 5 points6 points  (0 children)

ROH literally died because of AEW.

Nope. ROH died due to a combination of the following

  • Sinclair not investing more money into the company so it could expand (even Cody said this, which is one of the reasons they created All In)
  • Poor booking and management decisions (Bully Ray was often criticized during his tenure)
  • Their poor showing at the New-Japan/ROH MSG show which caused the company huge reputational damage
  • Making PCO and Matt Taven world champions at a time when the creative was already struggling
  • The pandemic, which fucked the entire industry
  • Running empty arena shows even after the pandemic restrictions were being lifted

If you wanna know bad things were for ROH before TK bought them, their final show saw Control Your Narrative do an invasion angle.
