>>19557303>Seth Rollins cuts off contact with anyone signed to AEW Kek
I believe all of this.
>>19557303>Dijak almost got signed until Tony found out he leaks to dirtsheetsYet the Bucks are fine?
>>19557303>Dijak almost got signed until Tony found out he leaks to dirtsheetsTony Khan, who leaks to Dave Meltzer every week, was mad about this?
No buddy news?
>>19557608He did get mad at people leaking to dirtsheets during the Phil drama
>>19557303This board nailed AEW backstage rumors in the past so I'll assume you're the same anon who had the goods even if you happen to be a LARPer this time.>Cody still talks to Kenny but not the BucksI suspected as much. Once it was clear that Punk and Cody immediately took to playing off each other as the top babyfaces in WWE, especially during postshow grabass sessions with the live crowds, I figured the Bucks would be sulky bitches about it. Lemme know if I'm offbase here and there are rumors that suggest the rift involves more than just Punk.
>>19557747Kenny and Cody always felt like genuine friends and I think that Cody is the man he is today because of that friendship and what he learned from it. The Bucks are the Bucks and all their friends outside of Kenny are dumb fratboy minded.
>>19557303>Speedball is a closet furrythis is the least surprising thing on the list
>>19557303>hey callis I know we accused you of rape but can you get us a jobWhat a fuckin retard kek
i think im the sole chris hero fan on this board i would start actively watching aew again if he had a few matches teaming with claudio >kommander is a flat earthercompletely random but amusing
>>19557303>but not the BucksThese two anti draw faggots really do seem to be a serious problem, and I don't know why Tony isn't getting them out. They lost a fist fight to the literal worst MMA fighter of all time, drove out their biggest (only) draw, force a lot of anti draws on screen, and now seems to have driven off Cody. Not worth it. Keeping the bucks around would be like Vince firing HBK to please Dean Douglass
>>19557747>>19557908Not OP but the Bucks are really passive aggressive. There were rumors they were holding people down in the California indie scene which tracks with most of their backstage politics
>>19557303can Vince Russo or a writer from adult swim make AEW entertaining?
>>19557908nick buck and tony started the company legitimately
>>19557303I have heard that Cody was pissed off that he wasn't on the cover of the AEW book and txted Tony Khan about it lol. Also that Deonna had such a bad match in CMLL representing AEW that the girl she wrestled felt the need to apologize for how bad it was lol.
>>19558185And that Deonna has basically gone on a never-ending campaign the last 6 months+ leaking to dirtsheets like SRS, complaining that she's not on AEW proper.
>>19558198Can't blame Tony for not booking her. I heard she was good in TNA but man every time I see her she has a shitty match
>>19558029>the Bucks are really passive aggressiveTheir stupid twitter profile shit is proof of that. That's the kind of thing a 14 year old girl does.
>>19558229when you hear someone is good in tna, that's a really wide marginit can mean anything from actually great to not terrible
Gail Kim was insulted that Tony Khan was only interested in her as a wrestler
>>19558276What? That he didn't want to fuck her? She's married.
>>19558276Also she had a WWE trial over the summer.
>>19558229She was shit in ROH, shit in NXT and is shit in AEW so chances are she was also shit in TNA. TNA fans prior to like the last year had to content themselves with the castoffs and so would overhype everyone.
>>19558276Is that why she started seething about AEW? It did seem kinda random she suddenly shit on them
>>19557747Pretty much everyone except the Bucks knew Cody was better off moving on due to creative differences between him and Tony. The Bucks felt like it was a betrayal while Tony knew he couldn't keep letting Cody book himself which he didn't want to give up.
>>19558229she's the drizzling shits and doesn't even bother to stay in any kind of shape. like you can be big and all but she's just fat. she wasn't good in TNA but who else was there? tasha, kiera, rosemary, su yung, alisha edwards? she's coasted on this 'le technical wrestler but womeme' reputation because she does a few submissions but that's all she's got while every match the flab is flyin'.
>>19558424Cody was already out of the Elite by the first DoN and became a mainstay on Sammy's vlog because he didn't do BTE anymore, how was it a betrayal that many years later when their friendship already seemed to be in the shitter from the start?
>>19558276Did she want a producer job or something?
>>19558276honestly she's 3 steps back with what aew women's wrestling needs to be someone like mina makes a far better coach. she was just doing divaslop in tna which would never work there.
>>19558424Cody's goal was always being the ace of the industry, he was always gonna leave if he got that opportunity.
>>19557303>Seth Rollins cuts off contact with anyone signed to AEWnah him and Mox are still good friends, gonna go ahead and assume the rest of your post is fake news too
>>19558640>Mina's coaching:>have H-cup tits>????>profit.
>>19558688there's no evidence of this
>>19557303>MJF is getting the belt at World's EndTony's really trying to kill AEW.
>>19558688You're thinking of Roman. Him and Mox are still friends
>>19558688>him and Mox are still good friendsProof?
>>19558709It's in his autobiography, that I read and own. They were good friends for years before they even came to WWE, working the Florida indies together.>>19558734That's probably true too. It's funny that the fans tend to take the wrestling business way more personally that the people who actually work in it.
>>19558761I listened to the audio book, I don't remember anything about Seth post WWE but it was a while ago. They're totally different people now, in that book Mox said constantly how he hated the corporate aspects of WWE while Seth obviously loves it.
>>19558790>I don't remember anything about Seth post WWE but it was a while ago.Mox put him and Roman over massively, and specifically talked about how Seff was one of the few guys who he trusted enough to discuss his thoughts about leaving WWE with.>Seth obviously loves itJust because he says he loves it doesn't mean he actually does. It just means he likes getting paid.
>>19557567No proof they've ever done that
>>19558818watch seth doing pr, remember how he seethed about ospreay? he's corpo through and through tyler black and jon mox being tight shouldn't surprise anyone but they're totally different guys now
>>19557908It's a serious MAJOR problem that the Bucks aren't in regular contact with a former co-worker. Tony should fire them for that egregious crime. How dare they, seriously
>>19557303>Andrade knew he couldn't show up on TV but lied to Tony, who still believes Andrade I can totally buy this. It isn't the first time he got fired he had to have known about the no compete
>>19558734>implying the Seth Riders werent on the way to being whatever Mox did for the last year
>>19558732MJF is a ogre face looking motherfucker who was never dimes and is a nepobaby.
>>19557303>Jericho is going to WWE, Tony low balled himTony didn't lowball Jericho. He'll match whatever offer WWE gives Jericho and even offer more. It won't be enough because AEW fans drove Jericho away and AEW is too small time now.>Dijak almost got signedThis was never a possibility. Dijak tried to make overtures, but nobody in AEW ever talked to him
>>19558119Idiot.
>>19558229She really blew up to become a ham planet. It's incredible how shitty she's been on every promotion she's ever entered. But this becoming a ham beast is the worst of all and she still thinks she's one of the top.
>>19558873Is it true the Bucks are blackmailing Tony?
>>19558874it's truetony showed interest and it was nick who hashed everything out with him and got everyone else involved maybe he could have gotten someone else to hash it out but it was nick who actually did it tk actually tried to make plans to start a company with punk years prior, but he got a handshake deal with wb from a party with execs early in 2018 that'd they'd give him a shot if he could throw something together
>>19558842>they're totally different guys nowthey're really not
>>19557303I heard Kross was supposed to come in to job the first time he got fired but turned it down. I think Big Cass took his spot
>>19558863Nah he's the greatest heel in the history of pro wrestling, but keep seething.
>>19557303>Seth Rollins cuts off contact with anyone signed to AEWretardhttps://x.com/DrainBamager/status/1998770968244985878
>>19557303>Killer Kross tried to get signed and legitimately thought Callis forgot about the Scarlet thingI know you all want to console war KWABOTY but it's really kross. if true this would also basically prove they made the shit up just to get out of TNA otherwise why the hell would kross want to work there regardless of whether callis forgot about it.
>>19558967they're wasting bill. the crowd wants any excuse to get behind the guy but jericho left him high and dry and tony hasn't done anything to fix it
>>19557747>>19557793>>19557908>>19558029>>19558424>Though my professional relationship with Cody was great, he's not a guy that I go and get a Diet Pepsi with on my off time.https://wrestlingrepublic.com/kenny-omega-on-cody-rhodes-i-heard-hes-on-a-flight-to-saudi-arabia/?ampThe Bucks were genuinely tight with Cody but Kenny never liked him, only tolerated him. He also lost his role as booker of the womens division because he kept getting into arguments with Brandi. He would also get really pissed off back in 2019 whenever Cody would present AEW as being in a war with WWE.
>>19558968>pretend all you wantHe will be the final nail in the coffin of AEW if he wins the title.
>>19559033>lost his role as booker of the womens divisionBecause all he did was book boring joshis and Brandon
>>19558703>H CupsCome on now
>>19557303This is probably all bullshit but a few I can believe. Dijak posts here so he probably will say the thing about him isn't true lol
>>19559087She wears Japanese bras, that's like DD in American sizing because Americans are obese
>>19559010Kross is my favorite KWAB too so I'm gonna assume the rumor is legit
>>19559033>Although my professional relationship with Cody was great, he’s not a guy that I go and get a Diet Pepsi with on my off time, so I don’t know how he personally feels about anything. I can only guess as to why he would leave. I just think that he saw it with his deal up as an opportunity to investigate something within wrestling or, and just life in general that would bring in more happiness. And, again, like I don’t want anyone doing what we do in wrestling and being completely unhappy and miserable, because that destroys you. It’s such a huge mental, emotional, and physical commitment that if you’re miserable while doing it, it can only lead to bad things. We’ve seen it in wrestling where that can lead to terrible things, whether it be you know, alcohol pills, drugs. That runs rampant in wrestling. I would hate for that to happen when what we were set up to do was something extremely positive for professional wrestling, or that was always the goal anyway.Kenny hasn't looked like a guy who enjoys what he does for a living since he returned from his injuries and bout with diverticulitis. He may well keep in touch with Cody as his strongest professional tie to the WWE, and he's already seen what such a tie can do for a shitter like Ricky Saints. Kenny has said elsewhere that he wishes he could have a big match with AJ Styles before he retires. Seems unlikely at this stage of their careers. I still take OP's rumor that Kenny has been on good terms with Cody as plausible, even if those terms are strictly professional. I also have a hunch that Kenny's AEW contract has him locked up for years, which is why I also buy OP's rumor that he's considering retirement next year. Kenny really looks every bit as "completely unhappy and miserable" in 2025 AEW as Punk did before he bailed on WWE over a decade ago.
>>19559300>Kenny hasn't looked like a guy who enjoys what he does for a living since he returned from his injuries and bout with diverticulitisHe wrestles now like every show is a Road To show, it's weird. Say what you want about his AEW career, but he clearly gave more of a shit before his break
>>19557303Seems legit
>>19559060You said that the first time, fatso. You were wrong then and you're wrong now. You're pretty much always wrong.
>>19558703>have H-cup titsWorked
>>19559300I think Kenny doesn't enjoy American wrestling but his body is too broken down at this point to handle trying to freelance in Japan. On top of that I think Kenny hoped to have Ibushi retire him but Ibushi's falling apart too. At this rate it won't surprise me if Kenny just has someone like Yuki Ueno retire him as one final thank you to DDT then calls it a day. After that it won't surprise me if Kenny just goes back to Japan full time and just coasts off whatever AEW money he's made.
>>19557668So the Bucks. Why are they still hired?
>>19558688lel I do remember the time Colby spoke shit about Moxley keeping food out of his family's table.People don't forget.
>>19559582Yeah, how dare he try to establish a second place goofs with this ultra specific set of talents can get paid in anything but peanuts and hotdogs. Stealing food of Seth Rollins' table. Yup.
>>19559582He also never even contacted Jon when he has a baby. He went on podcasts talking shit about him actually and saying some people just can't cut it with the workload. 6 months later Jon said they haven't even talked. But Roman and him were talking all the time
>>19559582That was such a weird comment to make. Like if anything it guaranteed him more money since WWE has to compete with AEW's pay>>19559605That's kind of fucked up since iirc Dean never said anything bad about Seth
>>19559573Blackmail material apparently.
>>19559330Tbh Kenny has always been like this. He's always been a grass is greener over there type of guy. He would 100% rather be doing select dates with New Japan and DDT. I bet it annoys him that he couldn't get on the Wrestle Kingdom card.
>>19559033>[Kenny] would also get really pissed off back in 2019 whenever Cody would present AEW as being in a war with WWE.Fucking retard, Kenny is a huge part of that mindset the company has
>>19559734>That’s sort of where The Bucks and I differed where we never wanted to go to war with Vince or WWE. We just wanted to give people an option and just get us a platform for our brand of storytelling and our style of wrestling. I think when Cody had his way of going about things, I wasn’t sure how to follow up with that, nor was I interested.https://wrestlingrepublic.com/kenny-omega-on-cody-rhodes-i-heard-hes-on-a-flight-to-saudi-arabia/?ampRead before you talk shit next time fucktard
