Sharpshooter Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Apparently there's a rumor that they could be bought by the Saudi group that WWE has been working with for quite some time. That would be...something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted January 11, 2023 Author Share Posted January 11, 2023 I can't believe in 2023 that Jeff Jarrett and Jay Lethal are a thing, let alone one as highly entertaining as this feud with the Acclaimed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 I was checking my calendar to make sure it wasn't 2006 or something. lol It has been very entertaining. The Acclaim is one of the best things in AEW right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't have a chance to read the post but I'm sure its typical clickbait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpshooter Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Oh, there will definitely be a lot of people done with WWE. It's just a hot rumor right now, so we'll see what happens. Stephanie leaving is not a great sign either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaveByRichter35 Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 New Report on WWE Sale, Stephanie McMahon and Paul Levesque's "Opposition," Saudi Arabia https://comicbook.com/wwe/news/wwe-sale-paul-levesque-stephanie-mcmamhon-opposed-saudi-arabia-not-the-favorite/ Quote According to Meltzer, the nation reportedly isn't the frontrunner as of right now. Other potential buyers include Comcast, Disney, Amazon, Netflix and Endeavor. Meltzer wrote this week, "Those at WWE said that Saudi Arabia was in the running but not the favorite." I would love for Netflix or Amazon to get the deal if it means moving the entire library off of Peacock and over to the buyer's app platform. We have Disney+ too but I don't wanna see WWE being anymore neutered than it already is by becoming a Disney property. Yuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really like Netflix or Disney that much, but it would be Netflix if I had to choose. If the Saudis bought in, you're talking about tons of backlash and fans and wrestlers leaving. That doesn't seem ideal to me, but I don't know if Vince gives a shit if all he wants is absolute power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm only looking to make it easier for me to have access to the library. I have been hesitant to subscribe to Peacock just for the WWE library. Its an app I wouldn't use otherwise. If it was picked up by Netflix, something I already have and don't have to pay for, I would be happier than a pig in shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would still keep Peacock myself, but I understand where you're coming from. Peacock itself isn't the best streaming service and it's \always run slowly for me and their originals really aren't anything special. We'll see what happens with the sale. It's possible we don't see a resolution until the Spring or Summer easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Also, RIP to ROH wrestler Jay Briscoe who was killed yesterday in a car accident at age 38. He was a great one and the tag team he had with his brother was as good as it gets in AEW and in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted January 18, 2023 Author Share Posted January 18, 2023 Yeah, just tragic. One of the most recognizable "independent" names in history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaveByRichter35 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Is he related to Gerry? Not sure if that is a ring name spelled differently from his real name or not. Although I guess why would anyone want to hide the fact that you're a part of that Brisco family? Also, I hate to sound like I keep bashing on the current show compared to the glory days , but, does anyone else notice how terribly the commercial breaks are sometimes implemented on Raw and Smackdown? Like the other night for the US Championship six pack challenge on Raw. They came back from a commercial break, did the 6 entrances, and then cut right back to another commercial break just as the match started. There was another spot that annoyed me but I can't remember which match. Also LA Knight looks like a jacked up Shooter McGavin, yeaaaa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted January 18, 2023 Author Share Posted January 18, 2023 No, Briscoe is their wrestling last name, not real. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounded like it was alcohol related, like he had a lot and his body just shut down. Kevin had mentioned that he was battling alcoholism for awhile and trying to get straight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF is with AJ Styles' OC faction using the Kliq's hand gesture whenever they're introduced? Styles is one of the early members of Bullet Club, which is essentially the Japanese version of the nWo. It was founded by Prince Devitt (Finn Balor), Ryusuke Taguchi, Karl Anderson, Bad Luck Fale, and Tama Tonga. Styles lead the group after Devitt left NJPW in 2014. Eventually, Omega took over in 2016 when Styles, Anderson, and Gallows left for WWE. They "too sweet" as a kind of homage to nWo, but it's somewhat tongue in cheek. There's a whole history to BC that's pretty interesting to read about if you're interested: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullet_Club 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
