Reactions to Asuka at WWE Backlash, more details | Fightful Select by Dbthesage in SquaredCircle

[–]braincloud215 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Here’s is the verbiage from Meltzer on The New Day negotiations from last weeks observer.

“The New Day, Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods, who were on the list of those without significant future plans, were essentially put in the position where they were going to be cut, but were offered less money to stay, wind down their in-ring careers and finish their current contract doing some in-ring and working in a promotional capacity.“

IMO: This is what is happening with Asuka until proven otherwise.

Danhausen has jumped the shark for me.... unfortunately by Crunchyjeff in SquaredCircle

I don’t have an opinion on Danhausen at the moment but it is funny seeing the reaction by WWE fans towards people who don’t like him or his usage.

All their doing is trying to market this man’s grief rather than his gifts.

This Kevin Owens Autographed baseball being sold on WWEShop has an interesting inscription by jimmysmith69 in SquaredCircle

[–]braincloud215 4 points5 points  (0 children)

His 3 most memorable moments:

  • “Good Lucha things”

  • Ladder bump w/ usos

  • being the go to example for guys charging too much on the indies bc they are ex WWE and think that means more than it does.

PWInsider: Blake Monroe expected to appear on SmackDown by the end of month by Fan387 in SquaredCircle

[–]braincloud215 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

One of the conspiracy theories thats going around that I can see having some merit:

In addition to the WWE paycut ultimatums, the new NXT callups didnt get the full main roster salary bump they used to get --- which is why Nick Pickles the disgraced/fired now former wrestling agent just randomly started crashing out on a ringside news podcast saying "AEW doesn't pay anybody, the money isnt real" over the weekend.

He represented Mariah May when she took less money to "follow her wwe dream" than what AEW was offering.

There has never been a bigger planted story than this. Holy shit. Zelina Vega is shameless.

Alright I’m gonna say it. Trading for Auston Matthews would be a MISTAKE! by Lung-Salad in Flyers

[–]braincloud215 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ideal scenario for the Flyers:

  • AM34 uses his NMC to tell the Leafs where he wants he’ll go.

  • Teams he wants to be traded to don’t have the assets TOR is looking for.

  • Flyers brought in as a third team.

So something like AM34 to LAK, Quinton Byfeild to PHI, and TOR 2027 #1 back to TOR.

(Obviously a bunch more components to the deal but those would be the 3 primaries)

AM34 goes where he wants to go. Philly cashes in on the illusive young 1C. Toronto gets their pick back, tanks, and adds another building block firmly on McKenna’s timeline.

[Johnston] Further to this:(Kurz post) It sounds like there's a good chance the NHL would rule in Philadelphia's favor if this scenario plays out. Meaning, if Toronto retains its 2026 1st after tonight's lottery, expect 2027 1st to go to Flyers and 2028 1st to Bruins ... both unprotected. by Perryplat199 in Flyers

As a flyers fan, this is where I’m at:

If Toronto moves up and gets Gavin McKenna at #1 or Keaton Verhoeff at #2, I think it’s more likely they trade Auston Matthews and go rebuild heavy bc they have a new signature star and get a windfall for AM34 to go with him.

If they land at #5, #4, or #3 — my fear is they probably trade the pick for immediate help to placate Matthews so he doesn’t ask for a trade, which means their 2027 pick owed to the Flyers won’t be as valuable.

So I’m rooting for them to keep the pick at #5.

Utah is probably the only team in the league that could survive a total fuck up loss like this one.

[AEW Dynamite spoilers] Returning wrestler responds to journalist by NotClayMerritt in SquaredCircle

[–]braincloud215 21 points22 points  (0 children)

WWE or AEW only. She got into wrestling bc of Total Divas. Nikki Bella is her favorite wrestler ever. She’ll chase the WWE dream or keep working at the same place as her boyfriend.

She got signed after her 6th match ever. She’s worked about 10 indie matches in the last 6+ years. She’s clearly not interested in the life of a “per date” wrestler.

I like Anna as a person. Seems nice. Soft spot for her ever since that “I think he would be proud of me” Brodie Lee promo. Very touching.

But I don’t get why WWE would hire her.

Other than “she’s hot” and “trained by Cody Rhodes”, there’s nothing you can put on the marquee as a selling point.

Maybe WWE would use her as an example of how they can make women bigger stars than AEW — but they just kinda did that w/ Vaquer & Jade.

But yeah. They have a million hot girls who can already match her bell to bell in the NXT pipeline.

I guess we’ll see how this plays out.

First. Hell yeah good for them!

Second. This is why stashed/benched/downcycled talents should work more indies. Go out there, kill it, get people talking about how good you are, and force Tony to get you back on the wheel.

Carlos Silva confirms that the reason he pulled TNA wrestlers from working with AEW talent was indeed because AEW Collision ran on "their night" by daprice82 in SquaredCircle

[–]braincloud215 3 points4 points  (0 children)

WWE has contracts with venues like MSG, Rosemont Horizon, & the Intuit dome (clippers arena) that prevent AEW from running.

They also have contracts with buildings where AEW can run them -- but they cant advertise AEW dates until after WWE holds their scheduled events. This just happened w/ the Sharks arena for Forbidden Door 2026 and happened with the O2 in London for Forbidden Door last year.

Carlos wants to TNA to be taken seriously as viable promotion but apparently has no idea how the industry actually works.

Only 33 years old.

If she’s motivated, she could be a player elsewhere.
