Photo Credit-All Elite Wrestling Andrade had a lot of demands before joining AEW. According to Wrestling.Inc, Tony Khan met with Andrade the week he was released by WWE in March, due to the fact he did not have a 90-day non-compete clause. However, the negotiations stalled due to Andrade’s demands, which included creative control and veto power on losing matches. However, a compromise was made between the two parties, with Andrade now having some creative control on his finishes. Wrestling.Inc also report that Andrade was in talks with IMPACT Wrestling. IMPACT accepted Andrade’s creative control demand, however both parties clashed…

Photo Credit – AEW Reflecting fresh off the heels of Double or Nothing, I’ve come to a stunning realization. No, my realization has nothing to do with the fact that Jon Moxley and Dean Ambrose are the same person or that Kofi Kingston made switching his accent up cool WAY before Apollo Crews did. My epiphany has to do with a certain Bastard from Newcastle, Pac. It is obvious that Pac is the single greatest anti-hero in pro wrestling today, as nobody can send a crowd into a frenzy of cheers and hatred at the same time like he can.…
Wrestling is a Chain of Events and when it comes to being a fan and in that chain are multiple changes and shifts you take as a wrestling Fan either matures throughout the process of you watching or it evolves in a way where you enjoy the product regardless of what’s being shown on TV. But the one thing that makes us wrestling fans enjoy the product the most is working on a group and those groups are known as factions! As Time Changes so does our tastes as wrestling fans and simply as this the best way to keep…
After one of their most successful Pay-Per-Views in their short history, AEW hoped to continue the momentum on this weeks edition of Dynamite. Big surprises were teased, but could they deliver? Let’s find out. GREAT: Dynamite opened with the Young Bucks taking on PAC & Penta El Zero, and while it’s completely possible I just missed this announcement going into the show, this match took me by complete surprise. Excalibur revealed that earlier in the day the Young Bucks took out Fenix backstage, so that somewhat explained it. Throughout the match the Bucks attempted to unmask Penta, however when they…
Photo Credit – WWE I wanted to go through some of the bigger names that WWE has released in the latest two cuts and where I think they are most likely to land. I will also give my take on if I agreed or disagreed with the releases. 1) Samoa Joe Agree/Disagree: This is the one release that shocked me. He should have never been released and I understand he has had a few injuries but as he showed for months he is a great talent on commentary. strongly disagree with this release. Where Will He Go: Joe is the biggest name…
Photo Credit: AEW On a seemingly basic segment in which Mark Henry was able to address the AEW fans for the first time, it was quickly derailed by the screeching voice of Vickie Guerrero. As boo’s rained down, the name Andrade El Idolo was announced, and the former WWE and Mexican star made his first ever AEW appearance. “I used to say I am the face of Latinos… but today I am saying I will be the new face of All Elite Wrestling.” -Andrade El Idolo It is very cool to see another recently released superstar make a huge impact…
Photo Credit – The Overtimer Both WWE, and AEW, delivered Triple Threat World Title matches at their biggest annual shows. At Wrestlemania we witnessed a classic between Edge, Roman Reigns, and Daniel Bryan. At Double or Nothing we witnessed another classic between PAC, Kenny Omega, and Orange Cassidy. It’s no secret that WWE is more story based, while AEW is more wrestling based. This would go on to be the biggest difference of these two matches. The Wrestlemania Triple Threat was a storyline focused match. In no way is this a bad thing. The match had everyone buzzing for days…
Photo Credit-AEW and Sportskeeda Lance Archer is in an interesting spot in his AEW career right now. Having just lost a TNT Title match against Miro, you might be wondering what is next for the Murderhawk Monster. Having given this some thought, I believe working AEW’s partnership with Impact might be beneficial for him, for these reasons: Lance Archer needs to regain some credibility as a “monster.” Lance Archer has been gradually shifting away from the monster heel he portrayed in NJPW and the early days of AEW. He has adopted more of a “tweener-verging-on-face,” persona, as has Jake Roberts.…

Photo Credit: Slam Wrestling Have you ever watched a cheesy sitcom with no laugh track? Eerie, right? Sure, technically, the jokes are good. They have fine structure, the word layout is well placed, but something is just…off. A laugh track guides the audience into the proper emotion. Is this an uproarious cackle? A small chuckle? A tender moment? A shocking revelation? A sitcom can be terrific, but a laugh track adds that extra oomph needed to take a show over the top. Wrestling for the last year has been a sitcom without a laugh track. With COVID-19 lockdown’s worldwide forcing…
