General Wrestling VII: Beyond Thunderdome

[Anoat]

More news coming out of the Rumble clusterfuck. Entrant numbers got changed so much throughout the day and it led to such confusion that when Shane McMahon entered that was actually supposed to be Randy Orton’s entrance, but the production team played Shane’s music based on earlier plans. Shane initially refused to go out and Randy yelled at him to get out there and make it work.

Wow

Ok so maybe not Shane.

Unless he intentionally was a bitch backstage because he wanted to leave.

Might be Ali?

Might be Ali?

That was my thought (hope) as well with how it was worded. Would be way bigger than the forbidden door if so.

Someone on Twitter made a bunch of AEW-themed Valentines. John Silver sharedthe one of him which is how I found them.

I think it's gonna be Jeff Hardy. Ali seems like he wouldn't be worth the legal headache signing him would cause, unless there's some weird loophole in WWE contracts they've found.

Whoever it ends up being is going up against Isiah Kassidy in a qualifier for the Face of the Revolution ladder match, and since it's probably safe to assume they'd win it's someone who's likely comfortable in a ladder match.

ROH have announced Bryan Danielson as the newest member of their hall of fame

[Krandor]

Rundown:

-Talent asked SRS if he knew who the surprise was

-Talent is assuming it’s Keith Lee

-Fightful cannot confirm if it is Lee

-Fightful doesn’t know as of now who the surprise is

-Was told it was not Jeff Hardy

-Confirmed that WWE did try to bring Jeff back

Seems like Tony Khan is keeping this one close to the chest but everyone is assuming it's Keith Lee.

Jeff Hardy and Ali are both lawsuits waiting to happen as Jeff no compete is until March and Ali is under contract. Keith Lee is the most likely or it could be someone from NJPW or Impact as well particularly Juice Robinson whose contract with NJPW just ended

I wish they would do it just to expose those fucking "independent contractor" BS contracts in a lawsuit.

[Nitsuki]

Brian Alvarez is thinking Jay White

It would be an expensive gamble on Khan's part, but it would definitely screw WWE over long term.

I would love that too but I'm not sure AEW is ready to try and do that right now

Keith Lee and Mia Yim are on their honeymoon right now so not saying Lee is an impossibility but seems a little unlikely

[Anoat]

Miz reminding us all that Eddie is Dominick’s dad and Rey getting heated was the best single moment in months for WWE. Miz with the huge shit eating grin lmao

Ron Simmons will be the next guest on Broken Skull Sessions, debuting 2/18. DAMN!

[Zealot]

Simmons is a really underrated wrestler imo

I completely forgot even though I posted a tweet about it the other day, but Samoa Joe and William Regal became free agents over the weekend, so either (or both) of them could be the surprise tomorrow. With everyone thinking it's Keith, it would be a great time to bring either/both of them in as a surprise.

It definitely won't be Regal competing in a ladder match

Regal and Joe worked so well together though in NXT, I wouldn't shed any tears if they were brought in as a duo if Regal wanted to continue doing any on screen work.

Hell, he single-handedly proved you can have an authority figure in wrestling and not have it be a colossal fuck up. TK brings Regal in to be a second in command, on screen facilitator, and he then introduces the head of AEW security, Samoa Joe.
