Conrad Thompson, Double J, Freddie Prinze Jr and the quest for a #3 promotion in North America

[Hawk 34]

“Matches” are fake, “fights” are real cmon

 

[King Kamala]

This I'm okay with because I agree. Not everyone needs to go forever to produce quality.

Yeah. Indie wrestling needs more 5-10 minute sprints and/or slugfests. Not everything needs to be EPIC.

 

[Lazgistics Supervisor]

A-fucking-men to that. The overkill schtick was fun 10 years ago when WWE/TNA were frequently under-delivering via shit roll-up finishes, but nobody needs Johnny Gargano kicking out at 2.9999999(~!) from every classic King's Road finish for 20 minutes.

 

[JHawk]

Hasn't this city been through enough?

The worst part is this is AIW's home building, so I hope this shitshow doesn't sour the Odeon on wrestling altogether

 

[Valeyard]

I just want their money mark to be Dixie Carter and the backstage interviewer being a returning Dana Dameson (if she's still alive, I don't know what narrative she chose).

 

[King Kamala]

Dana Dameson has to be the most obscure person to get an RF Video shoot, which is really quite the honor.

 

[Lazgistics Supervisor]

I just looked her up and now the FBI wants to have a chat. Great.

RF and Dana Dameson had sex

I was hit with nostalgia for DOI and saw the domain is going for just over $5k. Too much. I just remember her being gross and useless.

Also lol at Jingus defending her attractiveness.

 

[Valeyard]

Not that everyone else is much better. Ew.

 

[Epic Springs]

Surprised she never posted on the old board.

Shouldn’t we have enough Groupbuilder money to purchase this piece of IWC history, @cobainwasmurdered ?

 

[Valeyard]

DOI would be a fun investment for $5k less. I'd be in for a hundred just because. History.

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

If I was going to buy a domainname from the past it would be WorldDominationInc.

I did renew therealtsm.com for another year yesterday, so all of you guys who never update your bookmarks are safe again.

 

[Valeyard]

ThereAltSM better have gotten hits over the years.

[alkeiper]

In fairness I don't think the world is ready for an indy promotion with a fully functional website.

 

[Hawk 34]

Im pretty sure they can still get one with angelfire!

While that is a great laugh, looks like they didn't care those

[Valeyard]

See these are the idiots who would buy DOI from a fellow idiot like myself and make me at least $100 profit.

 

[King Kamala]

So...did Jeff Jarrett and Conrad already make their WrestleMania weekend announcement and it just got lost in the shuffle or is it happening today?

I saw that Jeff & Karen Jarrett: KING & QUEEN OF MEXICO made their returns at the AAA show this weekend. Does it have something to do with that? I feel like being American promoters for AAA would be a relatively smart, safe bet but who knows?

I also did not hear a single thing about #CYN's shows this weekend, good or bad. The IWC sure lost interest in them once EC3 clarified that they were an apolitical promotion and he actually supports BLM and trans people, huh?

As I said in the JJSB6 thread, bad (or at least not a good weekend) for the upstarts since ROH had a great comeback and Impact had the quietly solid weekend it's mostly been having since Anthem took over 3-4 years ago.

 

[RedJed]

Yeah Ive had a hard time finding much info on the CYN stuff....prob not a good sign. I know it was running head to head with MLW in the same building in just a different part of it, so its plausible the attendance numbers for them was real bad.

There was some ppv FITE thing that I...think.....was a Q&A panel thing with Conrad, Regal, JJ, Jeff Hardy, and Bischoff somewhere on either Thursday or Friday but never heard what came out of it at all. I plan on digging into streaming links this week so will see what I can find out.

 

[King Kamala]

If announcement really is just Jeff Jarrett being an American promoter for AAA then it's worth it just to hear Conrad say luchadores names.


I did a Google News search for Jeff Jarrett and nothing popped up other than P/R for the AFS Q&A he was doing with Connie and the Gang*. If they made an announcement, it wasn't noteworthy, I guess. Jeff and Conrad are like the absentminded stepfathers of wrestling.



*Man, what if AdFree Shows tried to produce an '80s/early '90s style Saturday morning cartoon. Maybe that's what it'd take to lure in @BruiserBrody...

Ex-WWE star Adam Scherr (Braun Strowman) claims Tony Khan pays 'dirt sheets' and AEW talent is blackballed from CYN shows

As noted on Saturday, don't bet on seeing Adam Scherr (former WWE star Braun Strowman) on AEW programming. In the comments section under a post from the

wrestlingnews.co

No wonder this guy can't get a real job

 

[King Kamala]

Yeesh. Learning this guy's real thoughts, it's no wonder why he quickly went from potential next Goldberg to the next Ryback.

I don’t think anyone should be super surprised that this is the first major signing for #CYN’s women’s division.


(resigned @Laz sigh)

 

[Lazgistics Supervisor]

She just keeps finding ways to disappoint me

 

[Valeyard]

She better lean into the Skyrim Karen gimmick she was born to have.
