HO HO HOPE you become a Newgrounds Supporter this year!
We're working hard to give you the best site possible, but we have bills to pay and community support is vital to keep things going and growing. Thank you for considering!
10/14/20 was the 30th anniversary of Chris Jericho wrestling. AEW gave him a huge tribute. Jericho is still wrestling.
The Inner Circle might be getting a new member.
Cody Rhodes won back the AEW championship from Mr. Brody Lee.
This is a little outdated, but I am trying to let time pass between my updates.
Miro. used to be Russev, is doing great in AEW. His BEST MAN gimmick seemed silly at first, but is now more than Mister Perfect. However, I still miss Aiden English singing Russev Day.
AEW keeps impressing me, and WWE has become so stale and Boring.

This is the only wrestling topic for all for all wrestling companies.
My take lately:
The best thing WWE has going right now is the Hurt Business. Just imagine if they could add a female representative in there. Naomi would probably be the obvious choice for this. Her direction lately has been lacking, and I think this would rejuvenate her.
The Hurt Business is nice, but a little predictable. Knowing WWE, they will probably starting feuding within the next three months.
As far as AEW is concerned, I'm enjoying a lot with it. I just wish my favorite wrestler, Dustin Rhodes, would ditch QT Marshall and the Nightmare Family and turn heel. I think we need a rematch of Cody vs. Dustin for the TNT title. There first match was classic storytelling at its finest. It'd be hard to top, but I think it would be another terrific matchup.
The first match was great, and a second one could be just as good. What are your thoughts about The Elite breaking up? Do you like what The Inner Circle has been doing? Do you think they should be recruiting new members?
Personally think the Hurt Business have potential at being a dominating stable on the same likes as the Undisputed Era and Imperium. Seriously, they really blew their chance with Seth Rollin's stable when they fired the Authors of Pain.
Though now its seems like they are putting their chip on the whole Retribution stable which give me mixed feelings about. I mean I like the Nexus like team of anarchist bent on dismantling the ivory tower in the WWE and giving an intersting character direction for Mustafa Ali who went from pure babyface who was destined to being a top draw in the company into a jaded mastermind who wants to destroy the company that forgot about him in Ziggler fashion.
But on the other hand, I do not like some of the direction they did in getting the other members of the group over (all of whom called up from NXT). Like giving them edgy names to make them sound like brutal but only makes them fucking cringe (seriously Slapjack). And how about that moment where Mia Yim had a work seizure as some kind of ref distraction? Seriously, I fear this group will end up less like a better written redo of the Nexus angle, and end up being a modern day Aces of 8s angle.
Seriously it makes me glad that AEW utilize all their stables better then the E.
I was disappointed that RAW was not only boring this week, but they failed to show the Firefly Fun House. What the hell? That is the only thing worth watching on RAW, possibly in all of WWE.
AEW, had another awesome episode. Very excited to see the results of the PPV. Will The Inner Circle gain a new member? Will Moxley and Cody be able to retain their belts? Will Orange Cassidy ever get over, probably not because he really sucks. lol
AEW is just miles ahead of WWE for the last year or longer. I wonder will WWE wrestler will jump ship next? With UnderTaker going to retire for the third time, any chance it might be him?

No. I think Undertaker is ready to ride off into the sunset finally. He's got to be in some incredible pain for putting his body through what he has in the WWE for the past 30 years.
I figured he could be a manager like Jake the Snake or Arn Anderson.
If any legend ends up on AEW, it'll probably be Sting. Didn't exactly have the illustrious sendoff in his WWE appearances, which was a shame.
I would love to see Sting again. Last i heard, Seth Rollins injured his spine in a match.
If we're talking a current wrestler, don't overlook Aleister Black. With his wife Zelina Vega recently getting released over the whole Twitch situation, I wouldn't be suprised if he follows suit. I don't watch their channel, so I don't know how much Black is actually involved with it (my guess is it's more of a Zelina thing), but it wouldn't shock me if he asked for his release.
Black would maker a nice addition to AEW. Just look how big Russev became in such a short time.
I think Dolph Ziggler, AJ Styles, and Elias would be great additions.

Not the greatest sendoff by WWE with that, was it?
They hired Sting to make him lose to HHH. They also made him lose to Seth Rollins. Rollins injured him tn the process. Than they fire Sting. It was very disrespectful.
I think Dolph Ziggler, AJ Styles, and Elias would be great additions.
Dolph would fit the manager role better with AEW, in my eyes. Granted, he has proven over and over again he's one of the better performers in the ring, I think he might wind down soon. Bet he wants to focus more on his acting and stand-up comedy.
Dolph always reminded me of a younger and less talented Chris Jericho. I am sure that they could come up with some great material if they worked together in AEW.
AJ Styles is a toss-up. Do I think he'll end up in AEW? It's a long shot. Part of that is because he stated this would most likely be his last contract in wrestling before he retires. However, we could see a falling out with the whole streaming situation and he may get released just as Zelina Vega did. That would open the door to that intriguing possibility. But if Styles rolls with the punches, I don't see him making it to AEW as an in-ring performer. Kind of a shame, because he's been one of the greatest for so many years.
AJ Styles , originally, hated WWE and did not want to work for Vince. If he went to AEW, he could air some of his personal beef with WWE.
Elias? I just don't see the intrigue like you do @DoctorStrongbad. He'd really have to show me a different persona in AEW for me to believe he'd be a good fit there. I just don't see it currently. Sure he's got great in-ring presence, but I often find myself losing interest in his storylines as they progress. And it's not always necessarily due to bad booking, but his charisma is usually packaged into nothing but a pre-match song, and that same charisma he oozes doesn't translate into the match.
I really enjoyed Elias as a heel. Even if his songs were not the best, at least he was somewhat entertaining. AEW would give me so much more freedom. I am still waiting for the day where he announces that he is related to the Honky Tonk Man. Which is untrue, but he could really wrack on some heat when it is revealed that he made the entire thing up. lol
RAW is really lame and predictable again. Brat Wyatt and Randy Orten yet again. How many times are these two going to fight? Is Orten going to end up working with Wyatt again? Is Orten going to a building down again?
When is the Miz finally going to cash in Money in the Bank? They keep using that stupid gimmick, which is funny because Chris Jericho helped invent in so many years ago.
The Diva revolution is still rubbish. At least, 80 percent or higher of the women in WWE have zero personality.
In AEW, MJF foined the Inner Circle. I really hope they don't screw this up. MJF and Jericho equal ratings. Taz has really picked his manage skills up. He even brought back his old school ECW belt. That was a really smart idea.

The day I predicted finally happened. On Wednesday, the new all winter intro happened, and out came Sting. Sting, in his Crow gimmick, has officially joined AEW. He is one of the biggest and most well know names since Chris Jericho showed up.
Speaking of Jericho, the two of them both worked in WCW, but never had a match. Jericho vs. Sting has main event written all over it.I could defiantly see them feuding over a championship belt.
If AEW, can manage to get Hulk Hogan that would be the another crown jewel. Even, if Hogan never wrestled a match, his name and reputation would get plenty of notice. Literally, fans would just tune in to see Hulk Hogan. Especially, while he is still around, and before he has his finally retirement.
Not only Sting joined AEW, but also Kenny Omega appeared on Impact and a partnership between former TNA and AEW has begun. WWE is (finally) in serious trouble.

Yes, as I announced above, Sting is now working for AEW.
The partnership between TNA and AEW could be very successful. Looking forward to seeing which TNA stars come to visit AEW next.

It should be very interesting, I haven't watched TNA since AJ Styles left
TNA moved to a weird channel, so I haven't see it lately. AJ Styles ended up going to WWE.
I just encountered an information that Brodie Lee (WWE's Luke Harper) passed away.
Damn... I liked that guy. WWE never gave him the momentum he deserved...
And just when his career was about to reach a higher level in AEW...

Wow, that is such a tragedy. He was the leader of the Dark Order in AEW.
RIP.
The Christmas episode of AEW was interesting. The Inner Circle is the best stable in Wrestling. Yeah, I said it.
The Young Bucks are doing well to establish themselves are heels. Sting has talked a few times, but no plans for him to wrestle anytime soon.
The New Year's episode looks to be a tribute to Brodie Lee episode. Might be okay.
The New Years Eve episode was a tribute to Brodie Lee. The Dark Order had at lest one member in every match. Of course, The Dark Order won everything thing match. There were also several recorder messages from wrestlers that could not attend, like John Moxley. Lee's youngest son was there as well, his has joined the Dark Order. His number is negative one. lol
Been thinking of getting back into wrestling recently. I used to be obsessed with it but got burnt out trying to keep up with all the promotions lol
Haven't seen anything since like 2017, I remember watching Wrestlemania that year but stopped watching shortly after. Any particularly good matches or shows that have happened since then I should check out? Not even just WWE, any promotion. I know AEW is popular but I know next to nothing about them.
Also, is WWE still bad? I was thinking of starting by watching the Royal Rumble this year cuz it used to be my favourite show they did.

AEW is the best thing going. They have the right attitude, the old school vibe, and excellent story.

Yes, WWE has been bad for a long time. Terrible story lines, a family family theme, and very little originality.

That's a shame to hear. I heard they got guys like Drew McIntyre back, so was kinda hoping they got a little better. Might check them out, just out of sheer nostalgia but can't see myself keeping up with them.
I'll check out AEW, see what they're like. Thanks for the heads up

Let me know what you think about AEW. You are welcome. It would be nice to have somebody else to chat about Wrestling.

Sure thing, I've already set it up to record this Friday. Didn't know it was on regular TV, was worried about paying a Netflix like subscription like the WWE network has lol

Wrestling in free, well cable channels, but almost anything can be FREE on the internet.
In AEW, Kenny Omega has invited the Young Bucks and The Good Brothers to unite. They have reformed the Elite. Hangman Page appears to be joining the Dark Order. The Inner Circle is stronger than ever with its seven members. Sting has still been mysterious about why he joined, and his future plans.
In WWE, Roman Reigns is still boring and is a lame heel. Bray Wyatt is still MIA. Waiting to see which wrestler will be leaving soon, to join AEW.

They finally turned Roman heel? I heard he was facing Kevin Owens or someone at the Rumble, so I just assumed he was still being forced as the main face. Also remember reading that Randy was in another feud with Wyatt, I can't help but feel it's just 2016/17 all over again lol
This weekend I'm hoping to start watching wrestling again. Gonna start with AEW, see how that is. Not really a big fan of the Young Bucks style of wrestling, purely just a personal preference, but I'm sure they got other guys on the roster that'll be interesting. I'm also gonna watch Royal Rumble, even if just for the Rumble match itself. Kinda hoping someone besides the usual suspects wins it lol

Yes, he turned heel, but was was really lame at it. So, they teamed him with Paul Heyman. Now he doesnt have to talk as much. He has a love/hate relationship with his real life cousin Jimmy Uso.

AEW is worth it. I would say give it two months, just so you can catch up on the Stables, tag teams, and current story lines.
How do you feel about spoilers?
I have heard at least one special Royal Rumble wrestler that will show up. I can keep it to myself if you like.

From what I remember of Reigns, he could wrestle pretty well but didn't have much in the way of personality. I guess turning him heel didn't do much other than make the boos "canon" so to speak lol
I don't mind spoilers, the rumble usually has a couple of returning guys and such anyway

Edge will return at the Rumble. Afterward, he will either be fighting or tag teaming with Randy Orton.
