Is Omega trying some meta commentary where he shows more interest in wrestling for everywhere but AEW?

Dirt sheets are saying that Fox didn't just reach out to CM Punk about WWE Backstage...but also JIM ROSS.

Ross declined to be on the show for some reason.

Thought this was funny:

Quote

Impact President Ed Nordholm recently revealed details on what led to Kevin Sullivan’s departure from the company. Nordholm claimed that they found out that Sullivan was working with AEW on Double or Nothing while still employed with Impact. Sullivan was told that working for a rival company was inappropriate and a significant conflict of interest, so he ended up telling Impact that he would discontinue working for AEW. However, Impact later learned that Sullivan was still doing work for AEW and so Impact began taking steps to replace him, however, Sullivan ended up sort of beating them to the punch by giving his notice last month.

The following excerpt is an interview by Nordholm with PWInsider.com:

Quote
“It is interesting that the reports I have seen characterize Kevin as an independent contractor that left because he had not received a contract offer; Kevin was a full-time, senior executive with Anthem with all of the fiduciary responsibilities that come with that.”

“When we learned that Kevin had participated in Double or Nothing, we addressed with him the inappropriateness of moonlighting for a competitive business while a senior executive with Anthem. He assured us at the time that he would discontinue that work. When we learned that he was still providing these services to AEW we started organizing ourselves to replace him at an appropriate time. Dave Sahadi was brought back a couple of months ago to begin working with us at our television tapings. With his involvement in All Out it was apparent that he would leave – either as his own choice or ours – but he did not actually advise us of his decision until Sunday September 22nd. Anthem has/had no relationship with his company. Kevin Sullivan was an executive employed by Anthem Wrestling who attempted to recruit his department to join a competitor while a full time employee and executive with Impact Wrestling."

I feel kinda bad for D'amore and Cyrus at Impact... sorta feel like if they'd had billionaire money to throw around they could book/run a better promotion than the Elite wankers.

But if we're giving people shit for pillaging RoH, let's not leave Trips out considering that all the men's champions in NXT are basically Ring of Dishonor

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #7567 on:** October 06, 2019, 04:17:37 PM »

Meanwhile, I'm sure this will massively discourage Vince from booking the promotion to revolve around a feud with 2 part time MMA guys, one of whom may or may not even be under contract with the WWE

I mean, all these smaller 'indie' promotions are owned by billionaire companies at this point. At some point, if these companies want to expand or gain market share, they need to spend on contracts, travel in larger stadiums, etc.

The only one I feel bad about is MLW, just because they really are one of the smaller promotions that don't potentially have access to a larger budget.

Edit: I did try to watch some current MLW, and had to stop 2 minutes into the youtube video because the promo this small stable did with some inmate thing was so bad that I gave up before they even started wrestling.

Hell in a Cell is tomorrow, there's, uh, four matches announced.

Don't worry, they'll still figure out a way to put the Cruiserweight title match on the pre-show.

Pre-show match was Lacey Evans vs. Natalya.

Card expanded- The added matches are Sunday Night Raw:

Seth Rollins Vs. "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt - Hell In A Cell

Becky Lynch Vs. Sasha Banks - Hell In A Cell

Bayley vs. Charlotte Flair for the SmackDown Women's Championship

Roman Reigns & Daniel Bryan vs. Erick Rowan & Luke Harper is now a Tornado Match

Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross vs. Kabuki Warriors - WWE Women's Tag Team Title Match

King Corbin vs. Chad Gable

The OC (Styles, Anderson & Gallows) vs. Viking Raiders & Mystery Partner

Ali vs. Orton

All their focus was clearly on the Raw and SD premieres and the build-up focus was switched to Crown Jewel stuff.

bork · « **Reply #7570 on:** October 06, 2019, 06:41:30 PM »

Ali vs. Orton has been added after a segment on the pre-show. It feels like this is all being put together at the last minute.

Even the pre-show is spending a bunch of time on the SD build-ups for Crown Jewel.

Tripon · « **Reply #7573 on:** October 06, 2019, 07:03:07 PM »

I'm surprised at only one preshow match. The crowd been sitting on their ass hour a hour and got maybe 10 minutes of action so far.

Sasha/Becky went on pretty long. Match #2 and we're already 40 minutes in, damn.

Weird that the one match up that Smackdown hyped up is the 2nd match of the night, and the one they literally made today (Ali vs Orton) is after this Reigns/Bryan vs Rowan/Harper match.

Edit: And they already wasted the Women's match that was already in Hell in a Cell, the other women's match is a regular match as far as we know. (Baley vs Flair). There's no way to go but down, the match sequence seems out of order.

Probably opened and assuming they will end with the other HIAC to not make it seem so repetitive. But yeah, Bayley/Charlotte feels like an afterthought.

Rowan and Harper should have won that match. What is left to do now that they've lost?

Bryan with the hug for full face-turn.

Tripon · « **Reply #7582 on:** October 06, 2019, 08:38:21 PM »

Nikki Cross and Alexa Bliss don't seem good wrestlers. Asuka and Kairi are carrying this match. Hope they put the belt on Asuka and Kairi because it might mean better women tag matches in general.

Edit: There we go!

bork · « **Reply #7583 on:** October 06, 2019, 08:48:03 PM »

I liked Cole saying that a win over Orton could be huge for Ali's career right as he misses a 450 and goes on to lose the match.
