CI Wrestling Thread #56

Just saw this on Britt Bakers “bay bay” Twitter post. AEW loves throwing out bread crumbs and subtle clues on things and who knows if this is one or not but it seems kinda random if not. Check the bottom of Punks shoe.
Think he was trying to remind himself to turn on the air conditioning because of all the ice cream he was going to eat so it wouldn’t melt so fast

Punk didn’t jump from WWE so that reference doesn’t make sense for him.

And SRS didn’t know Bray was getting released until it happened. So I doubt he referenced him a month before.
 
Bryan Cole Andrade and Black.

Just guessing.

Obviously Cole is one and he tweeted it right before Black’s debut.
 
If that was the last Takeover for NXT as we knew it then that was a heck of a “Last Dance.” See what I did there…sorry, not sorry.

PwInsider says tonight was it for Cole in NXT. Doesn’t say anything about main roster or anything think like that.

Young Bucks posted a link to a seance, alluding to the fact that someone (Cole) will be risen from the dead.
If you don’t watch BTE you won’t get it.

Imagine being Kross. Pick wwe and are built as this unstoppable monster for over a year until Vince ruins it all in one night and now people don’t take you seriously anymore.
 
Factions obviously work with large rosters. It keeps wrestlers relevant even when they don’t wrestle. Nobody from the Inner Circle wrestles that much and same for pinnacle. Those guys wrestle once every blue moon? But they’re relevant. I don’t know how it’s gonna work. We say it all the time here, a lot of fat is going to start being cut. It’s going to even start effecting wrestlers I like. Brian cage for example… was hot when he got to AEW, but that didn’t last long.

I honestly think a lot of these guys go to AEW so they can continue to do their Indy stuff. Cage is always doing Indy shows. He was at AAAmania. He does the warrior wrestling as well. Lance Archer is another guy who does Indy runs still. So maybe the roster isn’t as loaded as we thought.
 
Couldn't you insert any number of names in place of Vader?

Meltzer is saying Bray Wyatt to AEW is likely happening.

Punk was the #1 and #2 top trending vids on YouTube today.

Some of the answers to the after show media scrum with punk and tk were interesting. Sounds like he’s wanted to come back for awhile but wouldn’t until fans were back.
I think they could make him the new leader of the Dark Order since Brody was before his passing.

Becky squashes Bianca Belair? I don’t disagree with the winner but in 30 seconds you killed everything you built with Belair over the course of the last few months.
I couldn't agree more. When that happened I thought could there be anything more VKM than to absolutely squash something you have built on for a year with 1 punch and a side slam? If Becky wasn't ready for a long match then build her back into the title and if she was ready why take out Bianca in 10 seconds? Of all the stupid things he has done recently this is one of them.

Are those fans? I don’t even know who goes to these events now that it’s at the PC.

.
If you read up on McMahon's original plans for Austin and Foley, I still believe another factor was Vince didn't really want wrestlers coming from WCW and going over the stars he developed in WWF.

It’s still a pretty large roster, and money wise they got to let some people go eventually.

I do think with touring back, we should hopefully see a line between the wrestlers who show up on TV (Dynamite/Rampage) vs those who are developing on the YouTube shows.

AEW needs to be careful who they let take independent bookings. Eventually someone is going get hurt on one show and bite AEW in the ass.

So did Sasha take her ball and go home again since she lost the belt like she did after WM when she lost the tag belt - Sasha just turned heel and now Becky is the #1 heel on smack down so either Sasha is high maintenance or going to raw
 
Wtf is doudrop and why does she “wrestle”
you asked so.....

Summerslam was fine. Allegiant was cool. Becky return was great until the match.

Not sure what Alvarez-Meltzer saying about them goosing the attendance numbers but place was 100% sold out
 
I didn’t realize in the episode of being the elite where they kill Adam Cole, they also killed Rick Knox.
