Find Your Throne YouTube video by Origami Angel - Topic

You're the goddamn king of the universe
Even when it feels like it can't get worse
All you need to do is find your Throne
And you'll never be alone
You'll never be alone

Oh there have just been a lot of issues recently tech-wise, I just got logged out of it on my phone and it got an upstream failed notification every time I tried to sign in

Damn the architecture of this website really is crumbling around us huh

GET FUCKED

Oh word! Thank you! I didn't know TNA did dual contracts

Maybe I missed the discourse but does anyone know why Tessa was able to wrestle Persephone at the mania weekend CMLL show? Is she out of TNA or was it just because Persephone has a dual contract? 🤼

"Professional wrestling is one of the most important things, of the pointless things, in my life."

I've never come across anything that so perfectly sums up my relationship with pro wrestling #AEW

Soupy being tight with Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins is one thing, they're probably cool people. I know Becky said fuck you to that Hogan tribute video TKO made Punk stand front and center for which is cool. It's a banger song too. But the Wonder Years playing mania live just feels...really awful. 🤼

The beauty of it is: there isn't! He was a weird little freak called Blackheart in New Japan for a literal minute and now he's a weird little freak called Blackheart in AEW! And that's it! But also, you IMMEDIATELY know who Blackheart is when you see him wrestle

He didn't say he would've put them on Dynasty, he said he would've offered them AEW talent to wrestle at their show which had probably already been booked for months.

Are you referring to the Yoppy vs Momo match? Because that was an anniversary show and Yoppy was literally in the process of retiring. It was a big deal that they wrestled each other, it's not common for them to cross over.

For sure and I would never expect to see Marigold talent on AEW, like you said for a lot of reasons. I'm just saying Forbidden Door doesn't include DDT for a reason but no one goes around saying "it's because of Tony, Tony doesn't care about DDT"

What do you mean? Stardom is the biggest Japanese women's promotion, TJPW is the second biggest, they're direct competition with each other. It's the same reason AEW doesn't partner with DDT or NOAH.

Lmao lost your own plot but I guess you stuck the landing

...it would still be a long-term storyline???

"Long-term storytelling doesn't count until it's finished" is a wild rule, especially in wrestling lmao

I'm just not sure what you mean, I'm sorry. Why do you think this is malicious but AEW not having partnerships with other companies isn't?

You didn't ask for stories you like dawg

It seems like you're mad at TK that they aren't working with TJPW? I'm curious why, like you said they have in the past so I assume it's not malicious? Like they aren't working with GCW either even though GCW talent has been on AEW all the time, same with lots of companies

The Hollywood ending? Mercedes belt collector gimmick and the belt bleed? The Death Riders and BCC? Takeshita vs Okada? Just off the dome

I mean, AEW has never stopped the roster from wrestlers from working with other promotions, and they have wrestlers from other promotions on all the time as well for one-offs and appearances. I'm not talking about Teej talent appearing on AEW, I'm talking about a real partnership like with Stardom

With the TJPW girls getting backstage passes to Dynasty and tweeting at TK offering to wrestle matches—I know AEW probably couldn't partner with TJPW because of Stardom, but could ROH I wonder? Yuka is already there after all, it would be a sick Global Wars at least!

Let's all try to remember Jericho JUST did his own AEW version of this before the outrage posts hit

with a few notable exceptions, at the end of the day every wrestler is going to parrot this for the company signing their paychecks

Just an 8 year story, nbd

Also, I think the Dogs series sticks out but it did feed into the DCF going after Darby because MJF put a hit out on him, and that hit was the only reason Darby got his shot. If MJF never puts the hit out, Darby never wrestles Andrade and wins the shot at the belt. MJF literally did this to himself.

though it was full of callbacks to their previous matches (the side headlock takeover that Max called in the segment with Renee), that's fair. We're still absolutely gonna get the heater Max vs Darby match but I get it. But it has been built, it has been the story, even if it wasn't the cleanest.

feud has felt extremely random even if the matches were good, but Hangman HAD to be the guy, then Joe took it off Hangman so it wasn't MJF beating Hangman and MJF took it off Joe so that we could get to this point with Darby that Sting called two years ago. If you didn't like the squash even...

it's been there. He's been chasing it. He went after Mox when Hangman did, but Hangman was the guy. Darby still went on to beat every Death Rider, showed Mox his "the roster is weak" mantra was bullshit. I'm not saying the booking since wrestledream last year has been the strongest, the Dogs...

I'm just gonna do this one post. I swear. If the Darby thing didn't work for you that's fine, I get it. But I think it's disingenuous to say AEW had no story or build. Sting called this moment two years ago, literally told MJF that Darby would be world champion. It's been slow but...

going to be defined by dead air or empty seats, that makes the product and the wrestlers look bad. Idk, this slow story build with the weekly squashes (massive Shida chant during a SQUASH was awesome!!!) and the character choices and the language stuff just feels DIFFERENT in a very good way.
