Goldberg is still around? Wtf

Who would've thought that if you never push anyone to make them stars, and actively bury anyone who dares to get themselves over when you didn't want them to, then wonder why you have no stars and need to bring back the corpse of Goldberg...

What an embarrassment.

AEW is also getting ready to debut their second show, so they will have more TV time for this talent.

Incidentally, both Dynamite and the debut of Rampage are in Da Burgh next week. Anyone here going?

I'll be at Dynamite with my nephew. Pretty excited to go. I've never been to a non WWE show.

How can he complain on how Charlotte was booked? She's basically been the face of the division and protected greatly.

Postby **Morkle** » Tue Aug 03, 2021 11:58 am

Charlotte has the most annoying booking ever. She gets a title shot literally every time she doesn't have the title. I do enjoy that it seems to truly bother her when people chant we want Becca.

Either way, I can't stand Charlotte.

Word is the Plane Ride from Hell episode of Dark Side of the Ring isn’t going to make Flair look so great. Rumor is that’s one of the reasons for his release.

Holy Initial Caps!

Now that's spicy.

It's already known though, I guess wider audience, etc. etc. I doubt he gets canceled because of it.

have they started the remaining part of the Dark Side season yet?

I think 90% of my Twitter feed yesterday was people honoring Bobby. Seems like he was an awesome dude, even away from the ring.

Admittedly I have not seen a ton of his work since it was mostly before I started watching wrestling, and I didn't watch WCW.

I have seen a few clips/matches of his time in the Midnight Express that have been posted.

Dax from FTR uploaded a pretty good match they had with the Fantastics yesterday, so that was cool.

Stone Cold has said everyone loved working with him because it was "like a night off", but still looked great.

MOAR RELEASES

Don't recognize some of these, guessing this is mostly NXT/developmental talents?

Postby **nocera** » Fri Aug 06, 2021 11:02 pm

Bronson is probably the most surprising there

Supposedly Adam Cole is/was having a "high level meeting" with Vince at Smackdown. I assume this is basically like Malkin's "negotiation" with his Russian team before he fled.

I think WWE had a bloated roster and was hoarding talent just so AEW couldn’t get them. They may have gone too far in the other direction now though.

Postby **Spangler** » Sat Aug 07, 2021 2:05 pm

It seems like HHH's work the past 5-10 years is slowly being undone. We've all assume he would take Vince's place when Vince is done, but I'm not so sure about that now.

Dave Nicholson
Take Braun, Bray and Rowan, show up in AEW. Tell the dark order they have become a comedic parody of what MR. Brody Lee had envisioned, and he and his brothers have come to set things right. It writes itself!

Comment on YouTube. I’m in!

Postby **iamjs** » Sun Aug 08, 2021 11:02 pm

if my count is right, and it could be off by a few since I can barely keep my eyes open, that's 108 employees.

Granted, not all of them were wrestlers, but you could probably fill two shows with the amount of talent that they released over the last 18 months.

I don't watch AEW... is she even a heel?
