All Elite Wrestling - Discussion

[NinjaBro]

Has anyone listened to the latest episode of The Cornette Experience? He's reviewing AEW vs NXT and I'm laughing so hard my belly is about to burst.

Some background information, Cornette has always hated Kenny Omega because he used to wrestle a 9 year old girl back during his time in DDT.
So anyways Cornette is ranting and raving about this 98 pound Japanese schoolgirl Riho and can't understand why they put the women's title on her. Jim Ross keeps mentioning in the broadcast that Riho has been wrestling since she was 9 years old.

I'm paraphrasing the next little snippet by Cornette.

"OMG, that's the 9 year old girl that he used to wrestle! Kenny Omega has a Japanese schoolgirl fetish and has nepotism her into the company. He's f*cking her!"

[Spens1]

Is the problem that these women are under contract at the moment?

For TNA and i think for not for that long to be honest. Also i don't think Impact would neccesarily stand in their way if AEW did give adequate compensation.

Cornette's ideal wrestling company would be the **** worst

[Dr Positivity]

Also some final pieces to the puzzle i think they should get:

Men:
CM Punk (not as a wrestler however, that isn't happening, but if you can convince him to be a manager for an up and commer)
Cain Velasquez (would be a big addition and honestly one they need to make happen)
Rush (with him out of contract, he is one of the few legitimate guys they could sign that could/would be main event level)
Marty Scurll/Villain Enterprises (obvious and probably will happen)
Jiro Kuroshio (his gimmick would get over incredibly well in north america and i think he's a F.A, wouldn't be a huge star but in terms of lower card talent, he's very good)
Johnathon Gresham (incredible technical wrestler and would be a good addition to the midcard which needs a few technicians i think)

Women:
Mayu Iwatami (best woman not signed by a major american promotion or has links to one)
Hana Kimura (best young overall package in the world on the womans side of things)
Tenille Dashwood (unlikely but they should make a push for her)

I would consider anyone who had a WWE title honestly, it gives them a name to draw people

Austin Aries - good personality could help them, and his size disadvantage won't be as big a problem
Ryback - I know he's not a smark favorite but they could find a place for him like Jack Swagger

[jakecronus8]

I love Aries but it appears he’s worked himself into a shoot in regards to him being a pain in the ass to book/work with.

Ryback is terrible and I’d still prefer to watch him 100x more than Jack Swagger.

[Spens1]

I'd like to see Aries in MLW first under the '**** whisperer' Court Bauer first before AEW take that chance (if he can get Teddy Hart and Low Ki to work, i think he can get anyone to work for him tbh).

[iMoreland]

Signing Aries would be the dumbest thing AEW could do

[daoneandonly]

Where is James Storm? Seems like he'd be a decent enough guy to have on the roster

Wade Barrett as well, and maybe Cody's former partner Damien Sandow

Haven't seen anything of Barrett since he left WWE but when he was there i didn't see anything that would make me feel like there was more there that just hadn't been tapped into. Storm is probably washed at this point and Sandow might be ok but in what schtick?

Also sidenote, not that it matters or that it would be important to any of yall. BUT, Westside Gunn and Conway were front row of the AEW Dynamite broadcast last week, you can see them in the BG right behind PAC during one of his pauses outside the ring right before he entered the match with Hangman Page. Just a rapper geek moment for me, I know they're massive wrestling fans so it's good to see them front row of the new product.

[RonMexico915]

Storm is the NWA National Champion and Sandow appeared at the NWA tapings.

He's absolutely incredible and at his best is a legit main eventer, the problem is the behaviour cause as a wrestler their really isn't many better that is easily available.

[Marcus]

Can they both still go?

[tugs]

Sandow was a flop in Impact. How that's possible for a former WWE wrestler is baffling. Although he is one of those rare cases who excelled because of the absurd gimmick and not really the wrestling.

[Scott Hall]

Ok I give up Chris Jericho is the GOAT.... seriously though best Canadian wrestler ever is a legit fire
debate Bret Hart or Chris Jericho?

[Stanford]

Archie Gouldie

Archie Gouldie

Holy ****! Holy ****! Holy ****!

[Stanford]

Women's tag match was good. Sukura is a bizarre wrestler though.

[Stanford]

Chuck Taylor rocks and I'm a new fan of Orange Cassidy. AEW will win with me if they provide Chikara type comedy wrestling.

The whole gimmick is genius.
