CI Wrestling Thread #56

Swole is a garbage worker and brings nothing to wrestling whatsoever. She's also terribly unattractive. I don't mind watching Anna Jay wrestle a bad match because of the eye candy.
 
It seems some of these guys coming over from WWE stumble a little bit when they get to AEW, but it doesn’t take long for these guys to find their footing and do good work. Miro and Andrade I’m looking at you.

Interesting news here, based on Monday's Raw WWE was planning an Edge/Beth vs. Miz/Maryse match. Of course that could still happen.

 
Worst dynamite? Seemed a lot were happy with it. Not my favorite, but not the worst. Tired of people hating on Cody. The table spot was cool.

They’ve set a high bar with a lot of great shows. Just felt like this one wasn’t very good. I suppose they were due for an off night.
 
Cody and Andrade really botched that fire table spot.

Also what the hell was up with Cody’s back? It looked like his skin was peeling like he had gotten a bad sunburn or some shit. Skin falling off all over the place, was kinda gross.
That wasn’t botched. That’s exactly why his back was all peeling and stuff. He had flame retardant on it.
 
Dynamite did 861,000 viewers and a .31 in the 18-49 for 3rd on the night.
Surprisingly the first quarter hour was the lowest this week, usually it's been one of the highest.

I’m curious to see the numbers once they go to TBS. Also TK said they’re gonna start the new year with a bang, so curious as to who he signs next.

It’s crazy they’ve never grown their audience going on three years.

I talk with several lapsed wrestling fans that are friends and all of them say Punk, Danielson being on still give them no interest in watching
 
The deal with Swole and Austin Gunn... last week some douche dug up two tweets Austin sent when he was 17. Something like ‘this n*gga Jeffrey lookin better than all yall’ and ‘flavo, tell these n*ggas what’s up.’

Nothing came of it until Swole quoted it and said “WTF!” which got it recognition and then Austin had the race squad on his ass. He ended up putting out an apology letter and the works.

It was 2 innocent tweets from 8 years ago. He’s a rapper and clearly grew up in that culture. If it really bothered her she could have said something to him in person or in a dm but she wanted to make it public. Wouldn’t surprise me if she just wanted to take out others with her on her way out the door. I absolutely can’t stand her and people like her. She really is Jemelle Hill 2.0
 
So, a couple weeks back I decided to buy Bret's book(not his autobiography), and the damn thing was written entirely in kayfabe. Was that common back then?

If you read Foley's first book, he details how WWF would have shadow writers for wrestlers who would just make crap up.

But yeah, when kayfabe was still a thing, he would have to stay in character, lest he expose the business.
