Brandi is the definition of someone that needs their promos written for her. She's actually a really good promo. Much better than a lot of wrestlers but the content tends to be not very good.
lol
I think it's at critical mass already. Would be lame if TK told him not to say anything about it imo.
Wow Keller comes off pretty shitty here. Seems like he has a vendetta or is really falling for WWE sources who badmouth people who leave. He really comes off badly talking about Keith's weight as well, whereas Meltzer when talking about it came off as just being concerned about his health and long term effects from being heavier.Listen to his last Dynamite review.

WKPWP - 2/9 AEW Dynamite Post-show w/Keller & Hazelwood, callers, emails
Join PWTorch editor Wade Keller and guest cohost Bruce Hazelwood from PWTorch.com, as they discuss AEW Dynamite within five minutes of AEW Dynamite ending. They also often are joined by an on-site correspondentwww.blogtalkradio.com
Gotta listen for a few minutes. This is the origin of the discussions around Lee's weight as well.
1:34:10 has the discussion with Wade saying "he drove management nuts."
Pretty sure this was the discourse early on in the first AEW thread and the general consensus was "yeah, obvisouly?" lol
I like to hope most people know this, but I've also seen wrestling Twitter so who knows. But at the same time I think not every conflict is as dramatic as wrestling media would like it to be. Sometimes people just don't get along, and that's ok.
As far as we know, Cody wanted more money than TK thought he was worth and so he left. There doesn't have to be *any* bad guys in that. It doesn't say anything about whether AEW is a good place to work from what I can see.
Interesting, I never heard of these dudes, but Kevin Ku retweeted a tweet about beating up your local racist with a gif of NXT dudes beating up Gunner so I like him already
Yeah when I saw a Wade Keller piece on reddit was gaining traction that was a red flag for me and as I got through the first 2 paragraphs I stopped reading. His stuff always read as some bs hit pieces with his "sources" always having some negative notion. I don't believe shit from his Cody and Brandi piece. And now wrestlers are starting to defend Brandi on twitter as well.
Garrini is the champ of my local indie (Timebomb Pro Wrestling in Fargo, ND). He & Ku are both wrestling there next week (Ku is wrestling Masha Slamovich which rules). I'll actually be home for this event but I'm not terribly comfortable going out because COVID, so that's a bummer.
Laughed so hard woke up my girlfriend.
Yeah, covid is a big concern going to any of these shows. Probably relatively safe if boosted and you wear an n95 the entire time, but I also haven't been to large events since covid started.
Hmm, don't see 2 unknowns getting elevated that hard when they first enter, but could see them joining Moriary or trying to help him? Moriarty has seemingly been going towards a heel turn lately from the clips I've seen of him on Dark. It's also possible they just came in to do a Dark match.
Kevin Ku is cool. I'm less familiar w/ his tag partner. I think they'll be on Elevation for a try out.
I mean dark or elevation makes sense, but who knows. Butcher and blade coming in to help MJF was also out of nowhere.
def how it works for the top guys. they're able to talk with tony about what they want, how they'd like to do it, and then tony decides how much time they get and how frequently they appear/have matches from there. but that process def breaks down below the upper card.
That was out of nowhere, but they are had limited choices at that point. That was at the height of WWE hoarding all the indie talent.
Nice, this is a good signing. Hoping he joing Malakai's group.
I'm not saying these aren't talented people worth signing but I do get a bit discouraged especially with Cody leaving that all of the people I saw potential in and started to love during Year 1/2 will eventually get phased out
Don't be. At most they'd take Private Party's spot or something so those guys can move up the totem a little as this HFO starts to fall apart.
