I always liked Kevin Kelly as a play by play commentator. Since WWE has had trouble filling that #2 spot do you think there might be some interest there? Graves is good but I look at him more as color commentator.
Kelly has been available for years now and WWE has shown no interest. They love Corey and he is already really good on play-by-play. In fact, I think he is already great. From what I have been told WWE is very happy with him. There is no world I would replace him with Kevin Kelly.
An all-time great Raw this past Monday (March 25). The incredible ending will be a forever highlight for the company. Can you explain to the pencil neck geeks out there that the product is more impactful and entertaining when there’s an actual Holy S- moment and not another “Booker of the Year” gotta-have-more-blood-porn-moment? Thank you for the educating the sheep.
People like what they like. That Raw was fantastic, for sure. With that said, I won’t be like the loudmouthed, penis envying AEW fans and attack them for liking what they like. That’s what they do to people like you and I won’t be the lowlifes that they are. I want to be clear here. I am not talking about all AEW fans, just the booger eating incels that attack people who don’t love AEW the way that they do.
We've heard the ballpark figures of what Mercedes and Okada's contracts are worth, and would have to assume that Ospreay's contract is at, or close to, a similar level. Most wrestlers' contracts are not common knowledge, but based on what you know about the contracts of the top wrestlers in WWE and AEW, would it be safe to assume that Mercedes, Okada and Ospreay own the three highest contracts in wrestling today?
Without knowing what they actually make I can’t say. I would guess that Roman Reigns, at least, makes more than those three do. If he doesn’t, Tony Khan is wasting his money.
WWE uses blood sparingly to progress storylines and/or by accident during the physical aspects of a match. The Rock/Cody segment with it's use of violence and blood was near perfect and really made me care about the beatdown; the physicality and phycological aspects of the match.
I am not a fan of the blade, I have said that for years. If it’s going to used I think it has to be done very, very sparingly and only in the most important times to put over the most important programs. That’s what they did on Raw. It was extremely effective.
The crowd is as much responsible for the great promos were have seen/heard in WWE for the past several weeks as much as the wrestlers. Although Cody, Rock, Roman, Drew, Becky, and so on are gifted performers, the audience allowing the material to marinate and cook right up to consumption makes all the difference in the world. I really think that AEW talent Swerve Strickland, Adam Page, Samoa Joe are held back by the audience wanting to be part of the action instead of the experience.
I think there is an element to that, for sure. A good crowd makes everything better, it always has. With that said, too many of the promos by most of the AEW wrestlers just aren’t good. If they were, more people would listen to what they had to say. It’s all about booking. When the fans care about the wrestlers and what they are doing, they care more about what they have to say.
