The "let's not take this shyt so seriously" AEW news & fukkery thread

[Kidd Dibiase]

Mercedes Moné via MonéMag:

"Oh, speaking of Mariah, let's spill some tea! She's just one of the many trying to hitch a ride on the Mercedes Moné hype train! You know how it is—when you're not in the spotlight as much, you start throwing names around like confetti. But let's be real, the one name that makes everyone's ears perk up? Yep, that's right, it's mine!

I mean, come on, I'm used to this! It's not like I haven't seen this movie before. If I spent my time responding to every little comment or side-eye, I'd have zero time left for my fabulous CEO life! Everyone wants to talk about me, tweet about me, and hop on the Moné Express. It's flattering, really!

And Mariah May, sweetie, I still remember you as that fan girl promoting wrestling shirts, dreaming of just getting a taste of the spotlight. Well, guess what? I'm hiring for a shop girl over at MercedesMone. com! So, if you want to level up your game, slide on over! But let's keep it real—you've gotta bring more than just a dream to the table." (Moné Mag: monemag.me/join)

This is in response to Mariah May's comments on "Close-up with Renee Paquette".

When asked how it feels to have someone the magnitude of Mercedes Moné join the company: “I don’t care. Honestly, half the time I don’t know she stepped in here, because I don’t know if you know this, but she has her own locker room, so she says she’s here to help, and she cares so much. So come into our locker room, come into our tiny, little locker room, and help us. Teach us. Share your knowledge from all these years of experience you’ve apparently had. But no, she’s sitting in her locker room and she’s writing her little Moné Mag, her little magazine. I mean, how many people are reading that magazine? Who actually cares about your magazine? Because I care about women’s wrestling and I care about being on the showing getting more than 10 minutes. So if you care, come and step in the ring with me.”

When asked if she felt slighted by Mercedes getting more TV time when she’s not the AEW Women’s World Champion: “Yeah, I do, because I think I’m better."

she JUST came back. We don’t know that they have planned in the long run. She might even do a promo like that in the upcoming weeks. Stop fantasy booking and let it cook.

And She’s coming back after 4 months from an angle. It’s not like she suffered some health scare or injury where she was out for so many months. The complaints over it are wild mark behavior.

Imagine if Roman had come back that SD to face off against Solo and then had a wrestling match on Main Event right after that against a random midcarder. Would be unusual to see.

I almost always watch rampage, whether it gets my undivided attention is a different matter, but I am curious to see what they do with this. The opportunities were there. Especially with her tweet about retiring. Look at how they been building up the Julia Hart return and a possible feud with Jamie Hayter. That's had the fans interested.

Now I'm no booker or anything but I could think of a better idea with still having the match vs Harley.

After Mariah wins, have the lights dimmer and smoke form around the entrance tunnel, then all of a sudden Toni comes out like she did all confused looking around with no entrance music. Tony Schiavone says something like oh my god that's Toni Storm. Folks we are out of time.

Then Rampage starts with her coming down to the ring on some deja vu shyt like i been here before, i recognize that belt, i recognize all this, etc. Just something.

Have her and Harley cross paths backstage and issue a challenge for later in the show.

Let's see how it goes and if anything comes out of their match.

They have history from earlier in the year so not like they've never wrestled before. But if they throw the match randomly on the show without any effort it would feel pointless. Maybe have Harley say she has gotten better and wants to avenge those losses.

Now i know rampage is ending and there are rumors about shockwave and fox network. But they can't be pulling the same stunts with fox and shockwave.

If Toni wrestled May on Rampage, then I understand the talk. This is not that. It’s just a match to get her back into the mix. She’s still gonna be featured on Dynamite, so who gives a shyt?

Toni had plenty of matches on Rampage when she was champ. I don’t remember hearing any bytching about that, which is surprising.

You're right on that, tho wasn't too often. Of course i made the mistake of searching for that info and found out something else that isn't any big surprise but would def add some fuel to the fire of the critics. Looking into things deeper I can see a potential reasoning for this happening but not thru a wrestling storyline way and more like a personal way. Actually doing some more research and it kinda makes sense but not to most of tsc or the wrestling community in general. It would be some real deep for the sickos type stuff and i don't think the sickos are even going that deep in their wrestling bag.

This shyt isn’t deep. It’s predetermined sports entertainment, not the Bible.

Forgot who it was asking about Luchasaurus the other day but just saw this post.

Actually did a quick search and it was @The Burning tagging you to update you and everyone else

Dropping logic on that coccksucker

i'm not even gonna add fuel to the fire or get in the middle of any feud but lets just say thats not gonna be the end of the criticism. lets just hope they have something special planned for Toni Storm and its not just random matches.

She’s not facing Mariah on Rampage. It’s not a title match. She’s not returning from a career ending injury.

I honestly don’t know why there’s outrage over a simple match because it’s not on Dynamite. Literally another small thing dudes wanna make into a big thing because it’s the bytching topic of the week.

Yall know how much I like AEW and I'll refrain from arguing against or defending this claim. Could be or couldn't be true. But they gotta fix things if they want to continue to be more successful. Not saying that involves anyone losing their job or position, but they gotta make sure everyone on the same page and not just one person.




There needs to be changes and i think that starts with the new year and the new tv deal. One thing i think they should do is get the belt off Mox. Nothing against him but it's just not working like it should be. That and getting the continental title off Okada. Preferably to Ospreay. Far as the heavyweight title, there's still Christian lingering but i don't know if him "cashing in" makes sense. Don't know if OC would be any better. It could be Hangman but I think it would make sense for it to be Jay White especially with AGS coming up next and having him headline the show since he from that area. Maybe give him a match with Okada who steps up from continental title division. Then have Hangman finally get the win on White at a future ppv where it counts for the title. But hey maybe TK has some master plan that will amaze us all instead.

The typical blame for ratings decline is the champ. It seems like this Death Riders thing isn’t hitting, so they should move on.

I like Jay, but I don’t know if he’s ready to be the guy right now. Seems like they were aiming for Darby, so they should try him out. I’d say let Darby get a run, then have him get destroyed by Lashley. Give Shelton a belt (whether singles or tag), and let THS cook for some months.

They have a decent amount of upper card talent and it’s really hard to give them each their own shine in The main event scene. Okada, Os, Hangman, Swerve, Omega likely returning.

It seems like Winter is the time fans turn on the product. Last year it was about storylines and not building PPVs up better. They’ve been doing it better than a year ago, but now it’s them not interested in the storylines. Always something, right?
