Re: AEW Off-Topic

I do anticipate mask mandates in the future as well for cities, so I would assume that both companies would require them in the future to prevent the touring to stop.

Yeah I’m sure they’ll comply so they can run shows.

Re: AEW Off-Topic

Interesting news regarding why Hangman won't be at all out.

Its said to be because his wife is having a kid (AEW stars really seemed to be busy last fall/winter), so he'll be taking time off.

Sucks that he had all this big momentum, because we haven't had an organic babyface build like this since Kofimania.

Hopefully whenever he does return, he can get all that hype back. Even if he was competing at All Out, I feel like he might get overshadowed by the other stuff which might happen. So once the dust settles, he could come back later this year and go after Omega.

I'd be shocked if he comes back to Dynamite and the first chord of his entrance plays and the crowd doesn't blow the roof off.

One great way would be Kenny winning a title match at the end of a main event, he goes on the mic to say he's beaten everyone there is to beat, and then suddenly you hear Hangmans music play.

Of course, this would need to happen in a few months from now, so maybe on the 2 year anniversary show or something similar?

Re: AEW Off-Topic

So QT told Shaq his table spot with Cody would be a cushioned fall. He mentioned it so Shaq wouldn't back out.

Turns out it wasn't cushioned.

Guess they're lucky that Shaq didn't get injured, because that sounds like something they could've gotten in trouble for lying about.

You mean the same company who let Matt Hardy wrestle 5 minutes after getting a legit concussion and letting Alex Reynolds lay in the ring after getting knocked the hell out would actually LIE to a non-wrestler about something that was deemed safe for him? Why, I'm....SHOCKED.

Just kidding, this isn't surprising in the slightest. WWE would be ripped to shreds if this happened on their watch.

I love how QT says to Shaq when he's confronted about this... "That's wrestling, welcome to wrestling."

Like QT... you don't even know how much you opened up the company to lawsuits if he got seriously injured. TNT wouldn't be happy as they need him for their NBA coverage, there is a reason guys like The Rock & Cena have an insurance policy for their movie roles in case they get hurt wrestling and screw up the filming.

It's almost like it's the difference between how people judge a promotion that's been around for 2 years vs a promotion that's been around since the mid 20th century.

Also, Shaq has said that he is going to wrestle again in AEW. So yeah.

It's like judging Microsoft vs some start up tech company.

I’m just patiently waiting for the Bullet Club to invade AEW and start a war with The Elite.

Pretty much. But people want every preceived AEW screwup to be a bigger story than it is. I think some WWE fans got so sick of people burying their product for the past however many years that they see this a chance to play the "see, you suck too!" card. All those people who would hate watch Raw are now watching AEW lol.

Re: AEW Off-Topic

You pull that card in response to someone mentioning the negligence of the company when it comes to head injuries?

So it would've been OK if the XFL didn't take concussions as serious as the NFL does because the XFL hasn't been around long enough?

Not saying your point isn't a general valid one, just not when it comes to this.

XFL screwing up on a potential head injury incident would 1000% be less of a story than if the NFL did the same thing. Has zero to do with it being OK or not OK. Never said it was ok.
