Disclaimer: Before the anti-wrestling patrol makes their "heel" presence known, let me start by saying that, yes, I know wrestling isn't real and yes, I am a grown ass adult still watching it but you know what? I don't care. So please, save yourself from wasting our time and do not post if you do not have anything nice to say.

That said, who watched this last night? I recorded it last night and thought it was a well produced show with lots of intrigue. It was awesome listening to good ole JR and Tony Schiavonne (sp?) Back at the booth once again. I also think it is great that TNT has wrestling once again but thankfully Ted Turner isn't running the show .

 

Whatcha think?

Loved AEW. Felt different, felt real. 
 

im done with WWE. I’ll not watch NXT. Knowing NXT guys are trying to make it up and what happens to them on main ruined WWE for me. After seeing what happened with Asuka, I quit wwe. Best woman wrestler on the product and they have completely mishandled her.

Week 2 almost in the books and so far I feel as if AEW has won. Monday Night Raw was horrible and I felt like it was just filler until tonight when WWE starts the "Draft." NXT was pretty good though, I will give them that.

Also, I do not understand why they are having a draft because they had a superstar shakeup back in spring but didn't stick with with and decided to just let any superstar jump on any brand. If they actually plan on staying true to the brand split and if they actually utilize their talent the correct way, I might actually enjoy WWE.

It is still early in the "war" but AEW, I feel has a leg up.... Let's just see if they can still be fresh.

I've been watching, as Omega is my personal favorite. I really like the show. It's not perfect, but it's what's needed. Better than NXT due to production vakues (having it at Full Sail just doesn't work), but a bit "too WCW" in terms of production if that makes any sense. Still though, makes me excited to watch a wrestling show since the 3 AM days of Philly era ECW. Love NJPW as well, but something is off about it and I can't put my finger on it.

      This 1000%.  Hey who wants to sign with the guy that couldn't even get his client the guaranteed contract of a 3rd round pick?  Lmao

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
