So seeing the production room when they do camera cuts and such in AEW makes me think about what the fuck Kevin Dunn is doing.

Does he just rapidfire shout it the number of the camera he wants to show like "ONEFIVESIXELEVENTWOONETHREEEIGHT!"?

Uh, so Joey Ryan is suing everyone who spoke out. He's asking for $10 million in damages. Reading through what he's claiming to make per month, that seems like a legally reasonable number. If anyone cares for my legal opinion on it, I can try to find the actual complaint to go through it.

https://heelbynature.com/wrestling-news/joey-ryan-files-multi-million-dollar-lawsuit-against-speaking-out-accusers

Edit: I briefly looked at the tweet on Heel By Nature on this and there's a lot of hot takes in the comments about "He admitted it!" which isn't exactly the case. In most of his stories, he admitted something happened that was similar but not what they said. As a result, it's still fair. It's like if two people kissed and they added "He kissed and then forced himself on me." It's very different, and he has a legitimate case for a number of these based on evidence he, himself, provided on the video. Whether or not those tell the story remains to be determined.

But he needs to prove malice, and I can see some of these being cases of malice. Despite it being for good intentions and to support other women, it seems like there's some stories that were told that were minor but told simply to defame his character further, to support other women. Which... noble as it may be, could legally be classified as malice.

Kind of interested to see how this goes down, but it's not going to get thrown out, likely.

See, this is where things get dicey. If there was a chance anyone could prove he raped people, he wouldn't be filing this suit.

Like if he actively sexually assaulted women and there's reason to believe he actually sexually assaulted people, a lawyer would be fucking crazy to advise him to go forward with this. Because if there is enough reason to believe it, criminal charges could be made.

Like, I'm 100% believing that he has done a lot of seriously gross stuff and was a sex pest, but this lawsuit doesn't happen if he actually raped someone.

Also this article annoys me because they said that this was filed in the US District and Central Court.

The Central Court is the District Court. And I'm assuming it's the United States District Court, Central District of California, judging by where he's located. I mean if you're going to report on that please understand the first thing about a Complaint.

Meeeeh I'll end up having to pay for it, but I'm not doing so through my job. I found it though. It was filed September 24. Apparently Penelope Ford is the first named Defendant in it too.

Lets be fair at least

Mandy Rose and Dana Brooke are both better in the ring than Peyton currently is and Billie ever was, particularly Mandy

The IIconics were greater than the sum of their parts though

This big brawl is kind of much.

I feel it was solid after the original break apart. And it definitely didn't need Brandi doing a denton onto all of the Dark Order. Or a third break apart, and a women's break apart on the outside.

Yeah, Butcher is usually good, but he really looked awesome in the main event. Other notes:

  • Ricky Starks vs. Darby Allin was awesome. I don't really care about Darby Allin at all, but Ricky Starks might be my most anticipated thing every week. He always delivers. His commentary on Dark has been fun too.
  • Brandi is awful and acts like a heel except for when she wants to be a babyface I guess it's fucking obnoxious and we were supposed to believe the entirety of the Dark Order would get knocked over by a 100 pound woman jumping on them barf.
  • Cody had a knockout promo. Good on him.
  • Britt Baker was hitting the gym. She gained more muscle and physically looked great. Good showcase for her.
  • FTR vs. SCU was really fun, but... man. FTR is just missing something right now and I can't place it.
  • All of the people I thought had Covid, I feel like I was trolled with. Cage didn't have it, Butcher didn't have it, Wardlow didn't have it. I'm guessing it wasn't as bad for AEW as previously thought.
  • What the fuck why are you putting Luther of all people on Dynamite fuck Luther wow.
  • Orange Cassidy is still very fun. Dark Order antics during the match were fun as well, especially when they gave the people what they want.
  • I want Eddie Kingston involved with every show. Everything he's involved with is instantly compelling. Even ringside he makes matches that much more interesting.


Wrestling is pretty fun actually.

His team with Serpentico legitimately kinda rules.

Also yeah FTR were getting out southern heeled by SCU which was downright bizarre

And the finish like urgh don't cheat to win in the EXACT SAME WAY two shows in a row.

And don't have Scorp like get a rope break two ways 1 match after making a big spot of Starks rope break with his head going under the rope. Though that may have been a commentary botch at least by Taz.

Aren't Luther and Jericho friends?

Next week is his big anniversary so they probably let Jericho pick his opponent and he chose to give a friend the spotlight.

SCU just seemed to completely outclass FTR in every way. Weird way to do a first title defense.

Yeah I thought they were gonna go for the draw to demonstrate what the purpose of the weird 20 minute, draws=wins thing was but then didn't.

Instead the story was almost certainly that SCU is the better tag team and got robbed which makes sense if youre running a SCU vs FTR feud but they arent so I just dont get it

Also Excalibur made a point of saying Luther was one of Jericho's first rivals so yeah theyre definitely trying to do a symmetry thing.

Which is fine like I said because Luther/Serpentico is actually a fun little team.

I have been underwhelmed by Luther and Serpentico's team, but it's not the worst usage of Luther I guess? I wouldn't characterize it as "fun" though. I'd rather be watching anybody else but Luther with exception of Brandi, who continues to be the worst thing on AEW somehow.

But regarding FTR, I don't think it's fair to say they've never been good. Their NXT library alone proves they have something special. But their AEW run has been anything but special, and I seriously think they need to shift gears away from them. The idea of Young Bucks vs. FTR now is entirely too muddled and they put it off for too long now, especially with FTR getting diminishing returns in their matches.

With as many tag teams in AEW, FTR being at top and apparently running roughshod until the Bucks face off against them just isn't appealing to me. Like I'd rather watch:

SCU
Uno & Grayson
Reynolds & Silver
Butcher & Blade
Lucha Bros
Private Party
Best Friends
Santana & Ortiz
TH2
Jurassic Express

Like these guys could be having a fun program right now with the titles while FTR is just like "We're the best and we don't like you other tag teams" which... okay? Fine? But that's 10 tag teams on your roster who I feel are more entertaining right now that FTR and their entire act, even with Tully involved.

The thing that is missing is charisma and a character. I've never really gotten into any of their matches in NXT WWE or AEW. They hold the hilarious distinction of being the only wrestlers my mom could not identify after an entire year+ of watching them across WWE and AEW, to the point where I would say "they're those guys you never remember" when she'd ask who the heck they were and she'd remember them that way.

They're what people always said Dean Malenko was. But unlike Malenko it's actually true.

Sadly, the most character they ever showed was as comedy characters during all of that crap in the Uso feud

That's a problem.

They were like Ascension that way. Nobody gave a shit about Ascension until the Fashion Files stuff.

Granted, Ascension excelled at it so much they could've kept running with it and it could've got over more.

I don't know what to say except don't support WWE.

I knew it wasn't going to end with "Guys, they're just telling us we can't use our work names." They stepped back after backlash before coming up with something more definitive to fuck the talent.

They need to organize. That's pretty much all there is to it. They deserve the right to stream on Twitch of all things.

Edit: Keep in mind a lot of people are doing Twitch and Cameo to supplement their income because they aren't getting house show money.

Jesus Christ.
The way I read it is "Sure, you can have Twitch. But you need to sign this contract, and you need to be consistent with it and we take your earnings and give you some money you've been making back."

Basically, they are taking their independent income and taking all the money but giving them a steady paycheck for it.

So if you make more money for Twitch or get more popular, you still make the same amount.

This company is garbage.

I don't know if you're familiar with AJ Styles, but he's a boot licking corporate guy who buys into every obvious lie they tell him and I'm sure they've convinced him it's a good idea and he's already signed the contract.
