...it's lowkey the story of the AEW women's division.

Same thing happened with Skye. She got traction due to the assets, and then what? Got hurt, off TV, and is gonna come back tiny - undermining the very thing that got people's attention.

Every single AEW wrestler that gets hurt when they're hot comes back a shell of their former selves at this point. It's even happening to the men now.
I see it with the women, but what men are you referring to?

Megha wasn't doing her job.
not that job - the other one. The legal one.
There's no reason AEW shouldn't be getting a tax benefit for being NJPW's soft-retirement home. Japan need to be coming out of pocket somehow at this point. They're subsidizing the puro retirement industry.

Hook's been treading water so long, the world has turned the corner on Action Bronson, and Nick Wayne has managed to work himself into looking like he'd throw Hook in a locker.
shyt is crazy.
Hook could benefit from a better father.

Shibata resisting the AEW Tope Suicida Compulsion and staying in the ring made it novel simply because he DIDN'T do the obvious
is it because he can't understand the Whispers due to the language barrier :ohhh:

That's one dude though. Fenix, Dante, Quen, Buddy (if it was legit), MJF etc were all fine.
that's why I said it's starting to happen. Hasn't gone full-on self-parodical like the women's division. With them, it's more the rule than the exception.

that said... Dante came back ok from his injury. His hairline was unspared, however :picard:

also... Malakai was the OG of this :mjcry:I remember when I thought he was a surefire prospect

these are 2 second generation young wrestlers in this match.
and... and I think I'd rather be watching Pillman Jr vs Old-Young Baby Buchanon.

Thank the lord for Katsuyori Shibata :blessed:may he never headbutt anything but big ol titties and stacks of cash for the rest of his hopefully long life
