ill be paying close attention to this team because charlie bravo is a clear star, montez single handedly saving dawkins from obscurity type charisma and dynamic here... hopefully he doesnt have to "pay his dues" for too long :mjpls:



Doesn't seem like he's there yet, but he's got something. Right now though, there's too much acting and stilted delivery and not enough natural character (not every vet needs a military gimmick. This goes for Dean as well).

Give him a couple years and proper promo development, though (as you say, don't have him "paying dues" for long, if at all. Give them something they can possibly sink their teeth into as a sort of "show and prove" moment), and he could be pretty good.

Damn:to:

She's really glowed up in the ring in the past year. I was gonna bring it up tonight that she has to watch her back because Tay might be better than her now.

Hope her surgery goes well.
Tay is better than her but Tay also has more experience since she was in NXT for at least 3 years. She def came in raw and new to AEW and passed Anna Jay up quick but Anna is also more of a character than a fully developed in-ring talent. Hopefully she can build during her injury like Britt Baker has. She came back stronger and more ready to be a breakout star than she was before her injury.

AEW also lost Kris Statlander early on. AEW's women's roster has been dealt a few rough blows.

Tay is def a better wrestler right now, but like you mentioned she's more experienced.

If Jay keeps it up, she's a star because she improved a lot.

Hopefully she's able to develop her character out of the ring. She was doing well with the Queen Slayer thing even though they turned DO face

AEW is adding another Youtube show.

Complementing AEW Dark on Tuesdays, AEW Dark: Elevation will air on Mondays at 7 p.m. ET on AEW's YouTube channel, and will showcase AEW's established and rising stars, as well as the top independent wrestlers within the industry, competing against each other in the ring in pursuit of wins. AEW Dark: Elevation will also maintain continuity with AEW DYNAMITE, AEW Dark, AEW pay-per-view shows and streaming events, with wins and losses factoring into each wrestler's ranking in the company.

I wonder if this means they will turn Dark into a mini-Dynamite and start having storylines and stuff with guys like Lee Johnson, Top Flight while Elevation will feature a lot of Nightmare Factory guys and other green wrestlers.

AEW President & CEO Tony Khan has confirmed that Sting was recently fully cleared for physical activity.

Khan spoke with Mike Johnson of PWInsider this week and was asked about concern over Sting after he took the powerbomb from Brian Cage on last week’s AEW Dynamite episode. There was a lot of concern for Sting’s health as he was forced to retire from WWE after suffering a neck injury at WWE Night of Champions 2015 in the match with Seth Rollins. Khan confirmed that Sting has been fully medically cleared to wrestle, and that he’s been training with TNT Champion Darby Allin.

Khan also said The Stinger, who turns 62 next month, has used the powerbomb during training with his sparring partners to help get ready for his upcoming return match. Khan revealed that he’s the one who called for Sting to take the powerbomb.

“He’s been cleared, he’s been fully cleared,” Khan said of Sting. “He’s been training with Darby and sparring partners and he’s been fully cleared to wrestle. In his training, one thing he’s done to get ready with his sparring partners is a powerbomb. In terms of getting ready for this, I was more than fine with it and in fact called it.

“At that point when he’s taking them in training, it’s time for the live crowd. So he was completely cleared to do it and wanted to do it and he wanted to get out there and wrestle. Sting is going to be on Dynamite tomorrow[tonight] looking for payback and all bets are off now. Sting’s cleared to wrestle and he wants to wrestle and this is how he wanted to end his wrestling career in-ring was in AEW and come in and go out the way he always wanted to go out with great matches.”

Sting’s return match will take place at the AEW Revolution pay-per-view on March 7 as he and Allin face Cage and Ricky Starks in a Street Fight. Khan said he expects Sting to have a great performance at Revolution. Khan also mentioned how Sting has very high expectations for the match, and added that the powerbomb from Cage did take a lot out of him.

“He’s been preparing for this and I expect Sting to have a great performance on March 7th,” Khan continued. “He has very high expectations for this match and his comeback here, and I do too. I thought Brian did a great job with the powerbomb and certainly got people talking about the match in a very positive way and created conversation about, ‘Is Sting going to be OK? Is this all right?’

“Well that was the idea, we’re trying to create that conversation but the most important thing is he is OK and he walked through the curtain…that’s not going to be an easy moment, it took a lot out of him but at the same time, he came out of it in one piece and it’s what he wanted.”

Sting will be appearing on tonight’s AEW Dynamite episode to get revenge on Cage for last week’s powerbomb.

Stay tuned for more.
