Some pictures from the first show of the three we did a couple of weeks ago:

Gotta feel bad for Alexa Bliss. She and Bray are carrying the whole show.

[ZariusTwo]

Those are some badass photos Leo, really makes the match look like a thriller. And that peeved look you have in the last one is a money shot, you should definitely stick that on a couple of promotional posters.

[Leo656]

I do not make the posters. but I will drop hints that there's interest.

And I left out all the shots of him beating the crap out of me since you can't see my face.

I had to keep in that suplex shot, though. Neither one of us was even touching the ground, that's awesome. And it explains why I felt it so hard.

Also the moment I have dreaded happened. Taya Valkyrie signed with WWE. I'm not surprised because her husband is John Morrison. She is one of my favorite female wrestlers and if WWE mainly vince has her job to Charlotte when she hits the main roster I will be pissed

https://nodq.com/news/615342237.shtml

When I heard about his return, about his new name my first thought was...are you kidding me? Like I was a big fan of eli drake in that other company but he's got this new name---am I suppose to like that name? It's the most lazy name to date with this brand. Sure, NXT has grown to me now but these roster names are horrible; no creativity at all. "On his way to the ring weighing in at... from..... L A KNIGHT?" Um? what? are going to get the Vegas knights to join him too? Like hello? Really?

Glad to see him sign back but just lazy writing with the name is obvious.

P.S: as far as Taya goes---why is she going to NXT? she's much more qualified to be on main roster that's years of her career wasted in a brand she doesn't need and yes i know it's good for developing but she doesn't need it.

You wanna kill her career so soon? Let Taya enjoy a few golden years in NXT before the main roster turns her into a jobber and nothing but. Why do you think Finn Balor and Ember Moon went back to NXT?

I'm not sure if it's true or not (maybe Leo heard something) but a while back there were discussions about some stars signing with NXT under the condition that they will NOT move to the Main Roster. It also sounds like currently WWE wants to push the Undisputed Era to the Main Roster, but they don't want to go.

Let's also hope Taya has a better go at it than PK and Elayna have had lately. I mean... using Cora Jade as some rando to just be taken down by Xia Li in 2 seconds for story purposes isn't exactly something Taya should be excited about.

I'm still a bit salty about that, lmao. I mean unlike say.... Barry Horowitz of old where he was just 'guy in black trunks' walking down the ramp with no theme music or hand gestures or anything, just to get destroyed by Undertaker or Macho Man (who obviously have their look, style, elaborate outfit, theme music, etc)... Cora Jade has a look, a style, a specific entrance, she threatens you with coffins and tarot cards.... she has something going on. You don't just put The Sorceress of Sin as some rando for Xia Li to devour. Were there no 'local competitors' available that weekend?

I mean that makes as much sense as bringing in international superstar Rikki Roxx just to have him job to some 400 pound jabroni.

ya id rather have Taya stay in NXT where Triple H is running things. I do not wanna see or hear Taya jobbing to Charlotte"everything is handed to me because of who my dad is" flair. I really wish Taya chose AEW instead.

The Miz successfully cashed in on Drew to win the title last night. Looks like they're setting up Drew vs Lashley at Wrestlemania.

This might be one of AEW's best investments, personally. Yes, Big Show is clearly inching closer to retirement. He can go, but he really is uninteresting nowadays considering what other big men can do.

However, I do remember him being really good the times he was at the commentary desk. Honestly, I think he's underrated in that regard.

Jerishow reunion or we riot

[Leo656]

How absolutely bizarre.

[Autbot_Benz]

WWE Officially announced their newest signings while they are wearing those tacky property of the wwe performance center shirts.
Notable Signings were
Taya Valkyrie
Shaun Rucker fka Eli Drake
Rick Stiener's Son
Priscilla Kelly

Bobby Lashley crushed The Miz to snag his first WWE title and become a triple crown winner in both the WWE and IMPACT promotions.

[Prowler]

When I was a teenager I could tell Lashley would be WWE champion someday.

...but not in 2021. I never expected him to suddenly leave the company in late 2007 and only rejoin it a decade later or so. If you traveled from 2021 to early 2007 to tell my 16 year old self Lashley would be WWE champion in 2021, I'd assume he would be on his 10th reign or something.

Everyone here at the CAC is saddened to hear that legendary promoter Jim Crockett Jr has passed away at 76. We thank him for all the years of wonderful memories and send out our sincerest condolences to his family, friends & wrestling fans the world over. R.I.P. Mr Crockett.

Also Paul Wight said AEW is signing a "hall of fame worthy" wrestler this sunday

[Autbot_Benz]

All Ego Ethan Page signed with AEW and is the last person in the ladder match tonight.

Christian signed with AEW

[ZariusTwo]

Christian making a jump was a massive deal in 2005...but he's long since peaked and spent too much time retired or in the mid-card back in WWE. Starting to worry about AEW's future signee choices now.

At least he had a new version of his TNA theme
