Malenko was always a real ring general. You know his father taught him to kick out at 2 even when he wasn't getting pinned.Dean kicks out at 2, shew! Close one.

I don't think so. Dean is one of the 4-5 most technically proficient pro wrestlers of the last 40 years and I appreciate what he does, but he had zero charisma, and unlike Benoit, he couldn't channel his lack of charisma into in-ring intensity because he isn't a murderer. The crowd reaction to his matches depended 100% on the other guy.If Dean Malenko did steroids could he have been as successful as Benoit or Eddie?
It's been like that for decades. A lot of it has to do with merchandising. Particularly the action figures. You can't have one come out and not look anything like the current character.Lol wwe is now able to tell their talent that they can’t dye their own hair. Adolf McMahon must be a blast to work for.
Can't do that when the event is sold out. AEW isn't losing anything by the DC tickets being priced so low but it does hurt the value of future tickets if scalpers are having a fire sale for the first show.
-Lacey Evans posted a video of her staying character and being a dick to cop that pulled her over in Canada. And of course there were enough people crying over it that she later admitted it was staged. It would have been awesome if it were legit.
-AEW will also be aired on TBS and TruTV as well as TNT.
-Chris Benoit’s son is wanting to wrestle in AEW.
-Kenny Omega’s slow heel turn has been great. His stuff in today’s BTE was gold. He shot back at Dominic Dijakovic who had called him out on Twitter last week for Omega calling NXT developmental talent.
I enjoy your flowage of butthurt so much.Riveting can’t like this enough.

What’s Omega done in the last 3 years that hasn’t been great?So what has Omega done that’s been great outside of his feud with Okada and goes without saying Okada could have a 5 star match with James Ellsworth.

Lol and you think I’m biased against wwe.Nothing other than his Okada feud.

The Bank of Benton Arena in Murray - home of the Racers - would be a nice size for them. It would also be logistically close to Evansville.They're not in Kentucky because Rupp and Yum are too big.
