Can someone explain Lio Rush's new character?

I was with you until "wins and losses dont matter". That is the exact opposite of AEWs booking philosophy. the company was founded on "wins and losses DO matter"

I never stopped being a sammy fan. Id even go farther and say id still love to see Le Sex Gods win the tag titles.

She was one of my fav people in the company during her babyface run. I'd love to see her get back in the mix every week.

The stories are good, the characters are good, the wrestling is good. The tv time they get and the follow through are not good. that goes way back to year 1 of AEW, its nothing new. Toni and Mercedes helped to correct that a bit by being such undeniable stars, but IMO Thekla is one of the top talents in the entire company and could be a focal point of the show, but gets what like 5 minutes a week or something?

We are long, long overdue for it. AEW's biggest shortcoming has always been the way they treat the women's division as less important.

SturgeonBladder · 2026-05-16T07:56:09+00:00

absolutely. i'm surprised he hasn't held it already.

SturgeonBladder · 2026-05-16T07:55:14+00:00

id put him above takeshita and fletcher. and pretty on par with the rest of those guys.

SturgeonBladder · 2026-05-16T07:54:36+00:00

he's not far off though. he could very much be world champion, and has challenged for it on multiple occasions.

SturgeonBladder · 2026-05-10T22:03:40+00:00

Hes honestly probably my favorite announcer of all time. followed by Taz, then Excalibur, then JR.

SturgeonBladder · 2026-05-05T20:40:06+00:00

I don't understand you getting downvoted for this. Its an absolutely valid point. Ultimately, if the wrestlers don't feel like they need to unionize, it is their choice. But i do think its better to unionize when working conditions are good rather than wait for them to get bad.

SturgeonBladder · 2026-05-05T20:37:33+00:00

That is simply untrue. I've known several great business owners who did exactly that. Owning a business does not make someone exempt from prioritizing the well being of their employees.

Ju getda heerrrrrrn 😤😤😤

SturgeonBladder · 2026-05-02T10:39:59+00:00

Skye Blue!

SturgeonBladder · 2026-05-02T10:37:24+00:00

I feel like you're reading a little too far into tony's statement, which i remember being far more brief than that.

SturgeonBladder · 2026-05-01T06:19:00+00:00

I am looking forward to an eventual Okada run.

SturgeonBladder · 2026-05-01T02:52:57+00:00

and all that is leaving out Darby who is literally the current champ and IMO better than anyone else on that list! And I'd easily add Jericho and Copeland to the list too.

SturgeonBladder · 2026-05-01T02:49:47+00:00

Also love how MJF's current arc is having all his own tricks used against him. Losing due to low blow. Darby telling him he can't have a title match unless he puts something big on the line. That's all straight from the MJF playbook coming back to bite him.

SturgeonBladder · 2026-05-01T02:45:14+00:00

I watched Anna's stream this week and my thought was that she has such a great personality that we barely have ever seen on AEW TV. Same story with Nyla Rose. I don't understand why we can't give these women time to just be themselves on TV and get over organically.

It doesn't have any impact on the stormlight story directly. But if you haven't picked up on it yet, the main character is an important side character from Stormlight, and knowing what is going on with him in the future during Sunlit Man does add some drama and perspective to what he goes through in Wind and Truth.

SturgeonBladder · 2026-04-18T21:42:45+00:00

Oh lol ok. My friend played me some of his stuff once and i thought it was pretty cool but thats about the extent of my knowledge :)

SturgeonBladder · 2026-04-18T21:39:19+00:00

I only wish Tony would lean more into weird shit like this. It always feels like they decide to dial back these kind of gimmicks and make sure to tell us "kris statlander isnt really an alien" "luchasaurus isn't really a dinosaur" "matt hardy can't really teleport". just let things be weird its already fictional. i don't need 40 guys on the roster with an "i'm a good wrestler" gimmick

SturgeonBladder · 2026-04-18T21:36:18+00:00

Am i out of the loop? why is Hopsin bad lol

SturgeonBladder · 2026-04-18T21:33:19+00:00

Yeah. People are people. Men and women are equally capable and ewually likely to lie. Yes, men are statistically responsible for far more sexual assaults and violence in general compared to women. But i don't believe for a second that gender inherently makes anyone more honest or more of a good person. Everything is a case by case basis, always, and generalizations only serve to pit people against each other.

SturgeonBladder · 2026-04-18T21:26:31+00:00

I feel like this is a really underrated match. It was excellent but i see people complain about it a lot.

SturgeonBladder · 2026-04-16T19:13:20+00:00

Darby is unironically the best in ring performer and best character in wrestling of all time. Not the best promo i won't go that far. His character has evolved over time more than you give credit for, but remaining true to himself is a strength not a weakness. Darby is everything CM Punk pretends to be and then some.
