From the little that was reported the women on the WWE roster were not impressed that he was back.

If VKM comes back and is in power I expect an exodus of female talent

In a scenario like this a third (fourth?) company will be created.

I can think of maybe 6-9 wrestlers that AEW would be interested in.

Like I said in the previous post, lots can happen. VKM is old and their brand of wrestling is declining in popularity.

I have seen this float around and would not be shocked if this was the play.

I also would not be shocked if was the Saudis and VKM acquiring it.

Lots can happen between then but If this is the scenario then WWE is f***ed

WWE will still be around and talent will be able to find work. The promotion will be smaller and have less stature

Yup.

This is part of the reason why there is a steep decline in WWE.

They will have to deal with it in order to become profitable again and the solutions are going to upset many people

Yup.

Media (and not just wrestling Media) overall has lost the plot.

They were the ones that are supposed to hold others accountable and to ask questions.

You can tell TKO is also scared shitless of accountability. Look at their pressers and how controlled they are.

- At some point the WWE will make corrections or the promotion will shrink in stature and power. 

(7/7-- end)

- Finally, anything relating to this has been facilitated by the fans and should be a wake up call to both WWE and the wrestling 'Media'. Even 10 years ago the McMahons (plus their disciples) would be persona non grata from all promotions and shows like Busted Open would be cancelled. 

(6/x)

- Wrestling media not focusing more on Grant going public is just another reason not to support them until they change the way they report on wrestling related events.  

They also need to stop spinning events a certain way when something is popular.  

(5/x)

- In order to address the issue there has to be discussion about it and processes set up to ensure that it does not happen again. The WWE does not want to do that and in a perfect world wrestling focused media would be hammering them on it. 

(4/x)

2. Wrestling Media- Outside of Wrestlenomics/Thurston many of the major players are completely ignoring or passively reporting it.

(3/x)

1. WWE and Culture - There is a massive issue within the WWE that turns a blind eye or are passive towards S.A. and other related behaviours in their product.  Zero processes in place within WWE to address this.

Janel Grant Going Public for the first time

I am gobsmacked, irritated and frustrated that this is not a bigger story.  

I feel there are two issues in relation to this and both are connected.

WWEId while a good intentioned idea is flawed.

If someone develops into a star then AEW just has to offer more money and term.

WWEID can match and if that money is in the realm of upper tier talent they will have locker room issues.

Some talent will also jump after developing (Zayda Steel)

Whoa

Janel Grant, accuser in the Vince McMahon sex-trafficking case (no, not the pedophilia-ring case, that's a different thing) made a very rare public appearance yesterday at a media conference for the Connecticut Alliance to End Sexual Violence (she enters at 10:30):

ct-n.com/ctnplayer.as...

The fact that this is a fan that is trying to get this out to a larger audience makes this looks worse

Agreed 1000%

This should be bigger news about not only Grant and her experiences with WWE but the culture that has (and continues) to exist in WWE when it comes to assault

Point he is making is that anyone that considers themselves wrestling Media should be on this

Janel Grant spoke publicly in Connecticut on Thursday about her abuse from WWE & not a single person in pro wrestling "media" knew or heard about it??? Wow. No wonder so many WWE fans have no idea what that company has been responsible for.

Roster has always worked hard.

I would say they are more focused.

I am sure that it's some technical glitch.

AEW is usually really good about their roster page and winding down talent leaving the company.

Blake would of also put it out there that his contract was up to get more Indy bookings

This number is ridiculous vs the Olympics. Wonder if it's dawned on Dave yet that AEW does in fact want to be known as the left-wing promotion?

Hahahaha

Has it been confirmed that he is appearing? It's says it's a tribute to AJ. Nothing about him showing up

I feel he is still developing.

He has gotten a ton better on the mic and seems to be fine tuning his character and wrestling style.

Grasping at straws at this point.

People into it.

Same happens with some NHL teams in Western Canada. Their arenas are quiet because everyone is into the game and focused on the action.

It's Danhausen

And an ampersand is....?

AEW has done more for wrestling's image in 6 years than 30 years of WWE.
