    does anyone know if it's still only small companies or larger who cna give written deals? want to start a new save but don't like not being able to give written deals

    I'm not entirely sure, but since 2020, Written deals aren't exclusive anymore, they are just a 100% way that a worker will get paid. If your looking for exclusive workers, you can give exclusive Pay Per Appearances and Written now, and that way you can horde your own talent with either PPA or Written ways.

    Lovely conversation you lads are having.

    And now for something completely different 

    Can we all agree that Copeland really should've thought that top steel cage nothing through? I mean the spot was gnarly and something we don't often see. According to him, his mind panicked and he realized "I'm 50 years old and doing this!" In the heat of the moment, what do you think he should've done? Personally I'm with that he should've tried to splash Black, at best he probably would have a few bruised ribs but not a broken tibia.

    I...am legitimately so sick of babyface Bianca, gang. Lmao

    She is admittedly producing spectacularly in the ring, so it's better than many folks who have had go away heat with me in the past. But character wise she is unpalatable to me right now. They had to make Jade lose (even if by DQ) this soon to accomodate for Bianca going far in the tourney, while Tiffany looks like a fool for losing to a one legged woman.

    If she wins QOTR just give her everything else so I can stop watching SmackDown already...when DID Raw and SD switch places when it comes to which show is the better booked of the two (outside of Cody and Roman less Bloodline it's just not a very interesting show atm)...why isn't Naomi in this spot? She would actually benefit from this accomplishment, man...

    I've been tired of Babyface Bianca since she beat Asuka at WrestleMania. For the most part, she didn't bother me until it started feeling... Forced. Like Roman used to be. Thing is, Bianca is a woman of color, she's empowering, and she has marketing to present herself above most of the roster. Now I have to say, what I just said is not a negative at all, it's all a positive for a woman in her position. She's got star quality and she's not a bad wrestler, but there are just times that it just feels forced with her. For example, Asuka again, Backlash last year, Asuka beat her when she she should've beat Bianca at Mania. And she still needed to use her Mist to win.

    Not sure if it’s been mentioned elsewhere but something I just thought of in the month leading into the draft have like 2-3 matches each raw and smackdown where the winner can decide to become eligible for the draft or opt to stay making the loser draft eligible. They could do it with tag teams, women, have some drama with a team that wins an 8 man tag and maybe some want to leave the brand setting up a feud. 

    They used to do this. 3 hour Raw shows with brand vs brand matches and end with a battle royal.

    If you ask me, they need to return the draft for how it used to be. Everybody being a free agent for the draft all so they can put them back on their brand is dumb. The old way to do it should be GMs choosing from a lottery while everybody whose on a brand who doesn't get drafted, stays on their show. It should though start, not on a RAW or SmackDown show. Rather that it's a web show on Wednesday and it's supplemental draft on Thursday, and final trades by Saturday. I say all of this because it's... Not worth TV time nowadays.

    As far as I'm concerned, AEW gained nothing by airing this footage. The Bucks showed this to do... What? Show what we already know? It didn't show Jack Perry in a good light at all, if anything he looked like a complete loser, getting pushed, punched and choked out by Punk. The footage didn't contain audio, so it can still be misleading and we don't know if Perry offended Punk by saying anything to him right there. Punk meanwhile won't suffer for this, as he already has. (technically). Punk's not AEW's problem anymore, which was why I never liked this idea in the first place. Punk may be a jerk in this footage but it doesn't tell the whole story like people wanted to believe. Perry meanwhile suffers even more. Not only is he still under suspension from AEW, but this footage doesn't help his case neither. If this was an attempt to bring him back, this failed.
    In my opinion, the time to show this footage should've been around Survivor Series. It could've, in theory, drum up interest that maybe Punk was still in AEW. Maybe cause doubt for those who thought he'd never go back to WWE and maybe even WWE could've been like "Oh no, lets not deal with this." Tonight? It was far too late, and pointless. Nobody gains anything from it. Bucks look dumb for showing it, Perry looks stupid in the end, Punk isn't in AEW, and Joe is the only one in the footage who doesn't look out of place. All in all, this was a bad idea for AEW to do.

    Heard Sammy Guevara was suspended, possibly due to that botched spot in the match with Jeff Hardy.  Anybody hear anything about that?

    They say it's because he did his finisher onto Jeff rather than just pin him after his knee smashed Jeff's face. I think the wording was: He was supposed to go right to the finish, but instead he did his finisher. I think what they wanted him to like small package or roll up Jeff, not do his finisher, which is like a GTS, to an already messed up head injury.

    This years Royal Rumble was... Alright. And I mean that as the event as a whole.

    Women's starting out the night greatly with the return of Naomi, with another TNA Knockouts champion appearance is great to see, wish we got more of Grace and would like to see a legitimate partnership between the companies. Jade debut was handled the best. I'm not sure where to put her, but her appearance and her eliminating Nia was brilliant, she is one strong lady. Bayley winning is great and fully deserved. She's gone through hell and she deserves her Rumble victory.

    Undisputed Championship match was chaotic and fun but the winner was never in doubt. Roman pinning Styles, whom he hasn't defeated as current champion helps emphasize he is GodKing and helps sell the men's winner more. Solo being involved mattered only once, but if you ask me, he is hindering Roman significantly. Had he been completely out of this match, Roman could've still won hands down. I like many others are tired of Roman winning with the Bloodline backing him, but he really doesn't need their help. I'd enjoy his reign more if that wasn't what kept the belt on him the most.

    US Championship was a pretty standard match with a very clever finish, one that I really liked. Paul trying to use brass knux to only have them taken and used on him, AND KO gets DQ'd for having them just on his hand, that's a finish I have not seen and I thought it was brilliant. Where Owens goes from here I don't know, he got traded to SD without Sami and is feuding against a team of jerks on his own. I don't think he'll face be facing Paul at Mania for a rematch, but I wouldn't mind being wrong.

    Men's Rumble was good, opening with Jey and Jimmy was a great choice as I hope it's a preview to them fighting at Mania. Andrade's return felt rather subdued but welcome indeed. I think his actions against Escobar will lead somewhere. No legends, or big returns (except for Sami) or even another TNA appearance which was kind of disappointing. Punks return to a Rumble was fun to see, though he's heel and leaning right on "Grey Jedi" territory. Cody winning felt good, despite everything I think he is the right man to go back to back and actually win this time. There were many red herrings with Rocky, reports, Punk, yadda yadda still. He is the right choice and with Elimination Chamber, Punk will get his Mania match. So win win.

    That being said, this was an aggressive middle of the road Rumble event, despite my highlights, there wasn't anything that blew me away. The wrestling was solid as to be expected with the talents involved, but there wasn't anything to be overly memorable aside from Cody winning, Bayley winning, Punk being in a WWE ring again, Jade Cargills debut, TNA stars showing up, Andrade and Naomi's return, its one and done to be honest. See it once, don't need to rewatch.

    Well I suppose it makes sense that he's permitted to switch out his partner, given Kenny's injured.  I still hope Jericho and Guevara don't win.

     

    While I agree, this is different then most of the Battle for the Belts events matches, of which. A lot of those didn't have a build prior to it happening so... I'm expecting the worst.

    Joe has been a heel the whole time. He was simply protecting MJF so he made it to their match. Now that he has done that, he is no longer protecting him.

    But why fake injury in the first place? Joe could've easily joined MJF, betrayed him mid match and let the embodiments of Vacant get the win. Also Joe working *with* the demon just seems counterproductive to the idea of Samoa Joe. Yes he's worked in groups before, but he's a man who shouldn't be working with anyone. Him working with the demon all but assures he'll never win the top gold. Joe should be on his own, wrecking fools and betraying MJF only so he (MJF) is demoralized to the point he might lose to Joe. Sadly, that's not what we got.

    How does Joe get involved in so many random heel turns? I still remember that stupid TNA storyline where he got attacked by Steiner, came back with huge babyface momentum and then "swerved" everyone by joining the Main Event Mafia during the King of the Mountain match.
