After being MIA for 2 months, Tony confirmed Kylie Rae left AEW amicably and Rovert said she's probably left the wrestling business altogether. I'm assuming mental or physical health issue given that it's so soon after signing a massvie contract.

From what I understand she had a back related issue that might put her out of in-ring action for good. I guess it was something that was just found out about. I've heard a lot of different stories, but that one seems to pop up the most.

Jericho might be the greatest of all time

 

He’s actually my all time favorite outside of Brett and Rock.

[BlueStar]

Let’s put it in TEW terms Jericho is at least a B- in popularity maybe even closer to B but still. Cody would be about a solid C and Omega, The Bucks, Page are all D. Maybe D+ for the Bucks but that’s it because they’re pretty much unknowns past the IWC. Last year Jericho wasn’t even a real part of the All In he just did a run in he wasn’t advertised so even a year ago he was head shoulders knees and toes above 90% of the roster.

 

My 0.02 (from Belgium, where we only get a 1 hour version of Raw/Smackdown at best)...Jericho looks terribly out of shape (compared to how in shape he used to be) but can still deliver what is required. Age will catch up...with a wonky back weight will get to you...but he can still make a match against anyone.

I'm not known with the work of most of these...what I've seen from Omega has been a psychology-lacking spotfest. Young Bucks look like a second division Hardy-team (no harm meant at that).

 

Looking at what AEW thinks as their segment (being on TV, going against WWE) they can use all of Jericho, Moxley and Rhodes they can get.

Seems like it. Sucks that her last match ever would have been with Frank the Clown.

I strongly disagree. Hangman is going to be a star, he's just not there yet.

[Jaysin]

During the Riho vs Shida match at All Out I thought Shida looked more impressive than Riho, but I'm sure they'll play up the underdog card big time in Riho's match against Nyla Rose. Despite me not being a fan of Nyla, I hope she gets better. She has a good story and could be used as an inspirational figure if they ever decide to go that route with her.

[Jaysin]

With the inclusion of LAX, AEW is going to have a fire tag division.

[guyver3]

Jericho lost the belt!!!!!!! According to the police report he left it in his limo while he was eating. Talk about embarrassing some people are already laughing at AEW this just adds to it.

Hangman doesn’t need to be a main eventer, he will likely be a midcard Ace for them eventually.

 

So the AEW Title was stolen this past weekend.

Probably some stupid idiot but AEW would be missing a HUGE opportunity if they didn’t turn this into an angle.

I'd display it in the bathroom. I'd get to look at it every day, and no one's going in there that would turn me in. Or know what it is.

[milamber]

[Mootinie]

I put spoilers in white. Probably too late, but is this a spoiler-free thread?

 

That was the story. Hangman stepped up but Jericho was too experienced to not get the job done in the big match.

There wasn't much that they did bell to bell that suggested to me that the story was Jericho being more experienced and more savvy. ( He got hit with all of Page's greatest hits, including his finisher, but he kicked out of that. :/ & Jericho bladed! They had the heel bleed - did they want their audience to sympathise with Jericho and not Page?) The match didn't work for me.

 

But everything else on the card I thought was rock solid. (Rhio winning was probably the right choice as she's got reasonably over with the AEW audience in her appearances so far.) But this women's division has, to me, got off to a rocky start. I don't have much confidence that they're choosing women based on their ability to have good matches. I'm concerned the division is going to be a vehicle for telling stories, like DOMINANT NYLA ROSE, CAN ANYBODY STOP HER? and uhh, I'd rather just see good wrestling matches as a start?

 

Still, lots of talent both signed and unsigned. Kris Stadtlander needs to be hired yesterday. Jody Threat, KC Spinelli, Davienne, Raven Creed, Jamie Hayter (my fav <3), Christina Marie, Shanna... If this division they're building doesn't kick ass they've only got themselves to blame.

[CQI13]

Title has been recovered!

Jericho got his belt back all by himself. Cheers to a legend!
