AEW Off-Topic

Isn't that the same place, or close to the same place, where the Madden Tournament Shooting happened?

JR said he's not re-signing with WWE. But doesn't sound like he'll be out of work for long. Perhaps he could join AEW? Jericho competing and JR calling matches? That'd be a big way to draw interest early on.

Not just a AEW issue. Even a recent instance 2 years ago about a trademark issue on an expansion team in the NHL. They had voting for team name too. You'd think they'd check names before letting people vote.

I don't want JR on play-by-play, no offense to him. His stuff with NJPW went down hill quick, especially on the live shows. He can do other things behind the scenes.

JR doesn't who 95% of these guys are, I'd be shocked if knew anybody not named Cody Runnels, Matt Jackson, Kenny Omega, Nick Jackson, Chris Jericho. If you watched the live NJPW US shows he did, you would recognize this. Also go back and watch him do commentary on the first MYC it was not good.

Yeah, it's strange with those US NJPW shows, because the first one he did he was entertaining and he brought a lot of energy, but he couldnt keep the names straight. Then after getting called out on it on twitter, on the following US shows he would throw in these weak, passive-aggressive shots at his critics all the time, and the vibe was ruined from then on. His ego couldn't handle it.

He kept screwing up the names because he didn’t prepare for it just like when he was announcing the first Mae Young Classic. His best work in the last 5 years was when he and Nigel worked NXT Takeover Chicago. Where he wasn’t tasked with carrying the match on the mic.

He’s 67 years old. It’s time to retire.
