Mr. and Mrs. Wrestling is a matter of when, not if. And I'm all the fuck for it, Candice has put in the work and then some and it's about time she gets the spotlight for it.
I found funny how not many people complained when they threw a match between Hikaru Shida vs Emi Sakura on a youtube show that was only used to promote a feud between Jade Cargill and Madison Rayne
Yeah AEW needs to do better building women to make the division more attractive for potential hires
But no doubt WWE is gonna kill them here with hhh in charge.
I dont know why khan doesnt have someone run the womens division for him
I also think we need an extra hour of rampage and a more premiere timeslot if we're going to see more women and trios feuds happen. I still think a womens tag scene is necessary but maybe not rn

There's a lot of good stuff happening on AEW TV right now, but with TV time at a premium, you're left with acts like Miro and Andrade scraping for TV time and just waiting their turn.
Wasn't Miro on TV last week and Andrade this week? Although I guess Miro has mostly been promos.
Yeah this didn't make any sense and we've already seen it before.
Miro had a promo and Andrade is wrestling in a tag match this week that should hopefully bang. They're slow playing the Miro corruption story with the House of Black. I imagine it will culminate at All Out, and that we might get a Miro appearance this week during the Brody/Darby coffin match.
Wrestlers are always going to like tweets from their fans that think they're being wasted now. Even if they were even more wasted in WWE.
AEW has one show that gets about a million views, is 2 hours long and the rest have a massive viewership dropoff, they have some of the best wrestlers in the world meanwhile Tony Khan just booked an Homage to Heroes of Wrestling. I was dumbstruck when I saw that Tony Khan booked a Matt Hardy vs Christian match in 2022.
Tony Khan can find room for a match on Dynamite for Matt Hardy but not Athena or Toni Storm?

From Variety:
Vice TV is expanding its pro wrestling docuseries offerings with a new show from the "Dark Side of the Ring" team and Dwayne Johnson and Dany Garcia's Seven Bucks Productions.
The series is titled "Tales from the Territories" and will delve into the time in wrestling when the industry was divided into smaller, territory based organizations. The new series will debut Oct. 4 at 10 p.m. ET. Watch a new trailer for the show below.
"The wrestling business is filled with nuanced relationships and there's a phenomenal history that we know fans are going to enjoy," said Brian Gewirtz, senior vice president of creative development for Seven Bucks Productions and former head writer at WWE. "In many ways the wrestling world is a family, they have great moments, tough times and everything in-between. There's a rich history of untold stories which we can't wait to bring to life."

Looks like Angel got his last name back 😂
I'm ok with this as long as there's no WWE involvement, and Dwayne gets to shoot.

Only reason Miro isn't on TV is because God was still under contract to WWE
"…several outright admitting their excitement that he's gone, and that they won't have to deal with him any more. One top WWE name referred to Laurinaitis as "the biggest snake in the business" as everything unfolded."
Sounds about right.
Sounds about right.

Jim Cornette told John Lauriniaitis that the Shane Twins were too horrible to wrestle in front of the OVW audience and were so bad that they exposed the business, Laurinaitis moved them to Deep South and within a year had brought them up to the main roster as Gymini.
The Shane Twins were best known for their stint in TNA as the Johnsons, Richard Johnson, and Rod Johnson
Jim Cornette hated John Laurinaitis for his sheer incompetency so much Cornette refused to speak to Laurinaitis again despite running their developmental program at OVW.
It's going to be John Morrison lol. I'll put the update up as soon as i get the email unless someone else does before me.
I haven't kept up with the NXT's lately in awhile. Is Indi main roster ready? lol I've only seen that CM Punk like springboard botch she had a bit ago and I recall her being a lesser Raquel Rodriguez. Curious to see if they're trying to reassemble The Way.
She's not really main roster ready, but I don't think she ever will be either, so if they are going to keep her around, may as well call her up now. Bayley likes her at least.
Getting the book and money resources of WWE and going after Kross and Lumis is definitely a choice.
At least Lumis was entertaining with his mute serial killer who happens to be a gifted artist gimmick. Him being a mute had more charisma than Kross. I get why Karrion Kross was brought back but man...just please don't bring back Braun Strowman.
Lumis lived the gimmick, and I respect that a surprising amount
solid midcard hand, albeit a bit old.

Both are already in their late 30's and have little or no name/star value. I just don't agree with investing in that
I am not big on Kross, but the way he came across on Smackdown made him feel very correct for WWE main roster - that double act with Scarlett is a hell of a thing and he didn't look out of place with Drew and Roman.
However, this isn't NXT, he doesn't have a 'next level' for when he's ready. If he can't produce in big matches, Scarlett won't help him.

Yeah I believe his peak years are behind him and he was given a shitty gimmick from the start but like you said, he made the most out of it and provided some funny moments during his time in NXT. Plus he's pretty much solid to be a mid-card/character actor which isn't such a bad thing to have on your roster.
I also don't agree with Karrion Kross being brought back. However it will be funny to see Triple H fail twice on establishing him as a main eventer. I don't think Lumis will be propelled up but he does have a role that he showcased during the dying days of NXT. Obviously both men weren't offered gigantic contracts and are probably just happy to be on national TV with someone who won't screw them up.
Kross is a super eh to me and lumis only has so mileage but bringing them back for easy pops and easy internal/external advertisement that this is the trip era makes sense. Ultimately the outside talent pool has been drained and there can only be so much reshuffling and call ups (and you gotta space out the call ups too to maximize effect.)
The problem Triple H has is that Tony Khan did what Vince did when AEW started which was a mass hiring of all the talent available. The result is that WWE cant fill out 5 hours of shows, and AEW is having talent complain about their lack of tv time. You cant bring back the Undisputed Era, Swerve, Keith Lee, Toni Storm, Ember Moon, because all of them got signed by AEW.
Imagine. Rey is on the ropes against Finn. All hope seems lost. Dominik looks on at ringside with dejection and mild indifference in his fishlike eyes. When suddenly... this hits. The cavalry has arrived.

This was the talent in question.
I'd take Morrison and his wife back tbh, he is a good worked and an all rounder who can fit different type of feuds from comedy to high caliber good matches. As far as I know he is still working as a freelancer without a proper contract? Kross just doesn't do it for me, he always seems like an angry guy who tries to hard to do a mean face and his matches are forgettable.
Lumis is good for what he does...not sure why they fired him in the first place since I don't think they paid him a lot and there were far worse guys than him on NXT but who knows
