Nitter

Not surprising in the least as a lot of people figured she’d be on her way out the door once D’Amore was canned (they are engaged for those not in the know). Expectations are that she ends up in Maple Leaf Pro but I could see her doing the indie rounds easily as well.

      She’s got a lot of friends between ROH/AEW, I have no doubt she’ll pop in at least on occasion, especially assuming MLP doesn’t get a tv deal (as I cannot imagine ‘new small Canadian indie wrestling company’ gets a tv deal lol).

        yeah this is the way; i love when talent can go from company to company just having fun without contracts so i hope that more companies can work together like this :)

          Same. We’ve had too many decades of ‘You work for us and us alone so go fuck yourself if you don’t like it’. The post-pandemic, post-AEW wrestling world isn’t putting up with that anymore. Life’s too short to not wanna see meaty people slapping meat across company lines.

            of course i’d also like the same companies to get together and push for unionisation and benefits too to make sure they get paid fairly too :)

              We want em to push but that’s the one I don’t think they’ll get ever unless if a company starts up unionized from the get-go. Fucking business is too carny still until another generation of people run through management and clear out the old chaf.

              Hell look at this shit from today/yesterday from Konnan (who I know isn’t exactly a stellar example of ‘good promoter’:

              All these shits need to retire or die first before unions will be a thing in wrestling.

        Takeshita as well. Scott ain’t stupid, he knows AEW/ROH will 100% work with him and clearly is and that’s real good for both parties. Also got ELP from NJ, Yamashita from TJ. Working with AEW-ROH is gonna be worth it for the connections alone, especially for access to Rocky who helps facilitate a lot of this stuff.
