Wrestling Thread 9: Lets go Chuck Taylor, you're the best wrestler in the world • Page 471

Very curious that Cody isn’t on the cover since a quick Google search tells me this book is about the first 5 years of the company. I wonder if either he declined/demanded he not be on the cover, if Tony left him off for spite or something else or if there’s legal mumbo jumbo about it.

At the very least, you would think Tony would want him somewhere on the cover as that may get some dumb WWE loyalist to buy it if they see Cody

 

Yeah but also fuck Cody Rhodes

 

That's horrible marketing lol, putting the champion, the current face of the company you are in *direct* competition with. Anything having anything to do with the fed is best left in the pages of the book, not in plain view. Punk is obviously an important footnote of the first 5 years and he definitely doesn't deserve a spot either.

Besides, from what everyone says out of everyone involved in the beginning, Cody had the least impact/influence. It was mainly a Bucks/Kenny thing.

 

All good points!

maybe more strange is MJF not being on the cover since was/is one of the “pillars” of AEW and one of their top stars

 

Actually, THAT is something worth mentioning haha. No hate against Darby but I def think MJF had a bigger impact than him so I'm curious why he got left off. Well hopefully he at least gets some good coverage inside the book because he's had some standout moments that added to why he's become so big as he has.

 

Willow is the coolest.

 

Queen Aminata isn’t medically cleared to competes tonight apparently.

 

Whatever is wrong with her, she can take mine

 

Idk about more belts but whatever I guess lol

 

They say it will be defended on AEW, ROH, CMLL, NJPW and the indies.

 

Briscoe in the Callis fam would be something.

 

Do it like DBry in Wyatt’s. Forced to do it but shortly thereafter resists the temptation

 

Man, they got me believing Harley/Willow are winning

 

They gonna do the women's tag team title final at full gear?

 

I assume. Harley gonna get her first AEW belt there

 

Strap this new belt onto Brody King.

 

Haha

 

The way she's calling her THAT BIG BITCH is hilarious.

 

Stupid sexy scruffy Eddie

 

Only caught some highlights but Harley and Willow winning was awesome and the FTR/Brodido stuff was perfect comedy. A National title is stupid when they just unified the titles that were originally designed for the same purpose.
