January Wrestling Thread/NTWT Jobber Of The Week D Fly

[Peep Game]

That was the televised house show right?

Pretty much

That was Dean vs Triple H
That's the only thing I remember about that card

That much sucked Brock vs the Wyatts, Sami vs Stardust, Jericho vs Swagger and Revival vs Enzo/Cass made up the bulk of the rest of the card. New Day/LON and Charlotte/Nattie I feel like were good, but I don’t remember

Cody Rhodes sits down with Chris Van Vliet in Miami, FL three days before Double or Nothing. Cody talks about a number of different topics including AEW being a 2-hour live show on TNT, unveiling AEW's World Championship at Double or Nothing, if they will have pyro, how wins and losses will be worked into their story lines, his thoughts on the 24/7 title, Dustin Rhodes' match at Double or Nothing possibly being his last and he even mentions Sasha Banks, CM Punk and Randy Orton

That should’ve been the Mania 32 main event. Dean was carrying Raw around that time and was red hot. Instead he had the really disappointing match because Brock was too busy preparing to cheat in UFC.

What’s the point of having your first official PPV as a company and not having a single title of your company on the line?

Like DCAllAfrican said, I guess you would ideally want to have tv leading up to build a story, but still. Just seems odd. Feels like it inherently makes the event less meaningful.

Damn that was in that same time span. That WM loss was the beginning of the end of Dean.

I just don't understand the booking for this Root Beer Federation show..

-They got Jericho/Omega doing a return match from a promotion you're not involved with..And Jericho isn't looking to be in great shape which means Kenny is gonna run circles around him again and Chris is gonna be gassed after 7 minutes..
-They got the Bucks going up against a team that most fans aren't familiar with..Fighting over titles that not only aren't for AEW, but for a promotion from a different country that most fans aren't familiar with..
-They got a geriatric Kazarian/Daniels going up against no names in a tag match that, literally, nobody on the face of the Earth cares about..
-Got Cody vs Dustin happening several years too late and with almost no build up..
-They got Cole's old lady going up against some chick that isn't even important enough to have a Wiki page and a dude dressed as a woman..
-Plus a battle royal (which will probably be the funnest match of the night) and a 6 woman tag match involving 6 women most people have no clue who they are..
-Oh, and they don't have any of their own titles on their "history making" ppv..

If this was a WWE show the IWC would be trashing this show relentlessly..

Once again, sir. Thank you for this unbiased post you made.

Marks will try to defend it but you won't be alone in this fight.

Seth is great at reacting.

Dolph is great at reacting .

Selling happens 7 mins after your leg has been worked on and you are unable to springboard as a result.

There is a difference

Go to hell.

Why can't they use the same engine used in the N64 wrestling games for today's wrestling games

WON: Nobody on Ashley's Kuwait trip (Maria, Jimmy Hart, Ron Simmons, Gary Davis [not Gary Hart]) has corroborated the sexual assault allegation

(Longtime WWE lawyer Jerry) McDevitt said that nobody has been able to corroborate the story, and that the idea there was such a meeting that she described with McMahon, Dunn and Laurinaitis was complete bull****. He said those named as knowing, (Jimmy) Hart, (Gary) Davis and (Ron) Simmons who she said were told by Kanellis, have all denied knowing anything or being told anything. He said that when Kanellis was asked, she said she didn’t recall the story.

“If she was told something like that, there is no way she wouldn’t recall it,” he said. “If somebody told you that, you would remember it for the rest of your life.”

The only thing confirmed is that the part of the story that she was treated for dehydration on that tour is accurate.

WON: Backstage people were told Ali was winning the MITB match instead of Drew McIntyre, who was scheduled to win earlier in the week. Wrestlers in the match knew Ali was not winning and that an eighth man would appear and win. Ali was told right before the match Lesnar was winning but to keep quiet

Backstage, those who needed to know, were told that Ali was winning the Money in the Bank match, a change from Drew McIntyre, who had been said was the planned winner earlier in the week.

The wrestlers in the match were all told that Ali was not winning, but that Ali would be on top when an eighth wrestler would arrive and he’d knock Ali off and be the winner. They were not told who the wrestler would be, but the idea was that they would believe it to be Strowman.

Right before the match started, Ali was told it was Lesnar, but told to keep it quiet.

WON: More info on Kevin Owens and Aleister Black missing Super Showdown

In layman's terms, Owens refused to go. Basically, Owens was asked by his family not to go and that was it. Dave said there's no heat on him when he told them he wasn't going.

For Black, it was concerns by WWE around his tattoos and the heavy religious theme around them.

WON: USA has been giving WWE ideas to boost the third hour ratings. The ideas were all terrible, but the 24/7 idea was the best one and McMahon knew he had to take one of them

In recent weeks, the ratings for Raw’s third hour got bad enough that WWE recognized they had to do something. The big move was basically to allow the top stars from Smackdown to appear on Raw, and to make sure Smackdown doesn’t become a secondary show while it’s getting ready to move to FOX, to do the same. USA Network of late was sending in all kinds of ideas to WWE to bring up the third hour ratings. One person with knowledge of the story said the ideas were all terrible, but the 24/7 idea was the best one and McMahon knew he had to take one of them. While the idea is 24/7, Foley in announcing it said that it would be there for the third hour of Raw, which made no sense if it can be defended at any time. But that’s the reason he said it. I guess it’ll be mostly part of the third hour even though the idea is can be defended at any time

WON: Dolph Ziggler was a late addition to face Kofi Kingston at Super Show-Down since they had limited options on the Smackdown roster and didn't want someone from Raw in that spot

Ziggler was a late change from Kevin Owens, who refused to go to Saudi Arabia. The feeling is that they had nobody ready, since they didn’t want a Raw wrestler in the spot and since HHH vs. Randy Orton was already booked on the show, as was Finn Balor vs. Andrade, the only names were Owens, Elias, or Daniel Bryan (who has been moved into a tag team program and also isn’t going to Saudi Arabia). The decision was just made, since Ziggler was booked by WWE to be in Australia that weekend. WWE just pulled him from that appearance and is sending Carmella to Australia in his place.

We were told Owens asked off the show and that when he did so, they never even asked him why, gave him the show off and indicated there was no pressure on him to change his mind.
