CM Punk being proven right once again about the aew roster being a bunch of children
Punk is a better man than me because I would be actively burying all of the EVP’s right now.
But yet he was part of the problem 🤣🤣🤣🤣 So you going to tear down the company in order to kiss his ass?
@@wilcee238 While eating a muffin from Mindy's Bakery?😂
@flyguy7825 If Punk was part of the problem, why are their no issues with Collision but there are still issues with Rampage and Dynamite? Moving on.
@@wilcee238 Bingo
I'd love to hear Awesome Kong's view of things. She was hired as a player/coach and sent home early on. In one interview she said she wanted to help, but no she wasn't "let in the room" to make a contribution. If there is no place for a respected veteran in that lockerroom, it says something.
They just did the same freaking thing to Bret Hart!!!
I almost forgot that Kong was there. That would not surprise me in the slightest. And while you can see all of the women who DID respond, you can also see all of the women who did NOT respond. Rosa, Martinez, Hogan, Cargill, Diamante, Deeb (Who we haven't seen since God knows when), and Athena.
Even the guys who are veterans dont get respect at all
They really make WWE look better n better
You have Cornette comparing hostile work place issues to terminal disease patients and global starvation...when hostile work places examples affect many people....warlords prevent feeding the starving...and terminal diseases is often toxic stress related....so you're right people offering their experience matters....some of the sharp ones know something is VERY off though and jump out of fray
Britt Baker is MEAN. I said AEW had a Mean Girls locker room YEARS ago! You can tell how Jade Cargill was virtually on an island by herself and never even interacted with the core women. Also Thunderosa just vanishing off tv and refusing to job to the girls most likely making her life hell backstage. The WWE women,even in a feud,still clearly respect eachother in real life,that has never come across in AEW to me.
The entire women’s division going on X calling LuFisto a liar all at the same timeframe is hilarious. It’s like Tony sent out a memo.
more likely Ms. Baker sent out a memo, cuz Tony is too busy doing the 16th line of cocaine and aderall of Pockets's ass for him to have any time left to be a boss.
And MJF. He did Tony a solid there.
It was mostly jobbers though. Where was Jamie Hayter's tweet? Or Statlander's or Athena's or Thunder Rosa's or Jade's or Toni Storm's?
It really does look that way doesn't it? AEW has all the markings of a toxic working environment. I used to work at a life insurance company for about 3 weeks back in the day, and the people in middle management were all horrendous assholes to the new hires. Everything was based on feelings, and absolutely nothing was based on performance. If they didn't like you, then you weren't allowed into their little club, and they fucked with you till you quit. That's what this reminds me of.
Also, some of these people seem to be some of the biggest assholes walking on this planet. Jungle Boy is probably the best example I can give. They drive off anyone who they don't want to be in their little clique. And they have a weak, idiot, man-child boss who can't stop these idiots from driving not only certain wrestlers out of their company, but they're also driving away all of the fans!
AEW fans are all the devoted fans of guys like the Bucks, Jungle Boy, Kenny, and all the other assholes. That's their audience; they don't have any casual fans! It's assholes who are fans of assholes doing flips and crazy ass spots that will eventually get someone hurt, and hurt BAD! No casual pro wrestling fan would waste their time on whatever the hell AEW and Tony are trying to do.
Arn Anderson and Konnan said the locker room is like "high school." J.R. and Arn said the talent don't listen to the coaches. There have been numerous fist fights backstage. QT said he formats the shows and Tony doesn't tell him what's happening until right before they go on the air. Swole said Tony parties with the talent. And several wrestlers have come out and said that the talent get to basically do whatever they want all the time. AEW divided their fan base over the Punk / Elite drama with fans lashing out at each other over who's side their on. They don't drug test either. They didn't know Jeff was off the wagon until he got the DUI and didn't know Moxley was an alcoholic until he admitted it. They put their talent through week after week of grueling matches and will never know if they are self medicating or not. Anyone who doesn't think this thing is going to implode one day is delusional.
they need to let so people go fire them I dont believe all of that stuff but I do believe people feed these dirt sheets way way too much
@@flyguy7825 Everything I said came straight from the mouths or social media posts of people who work there - not dirt sheets.
To be fair drug tests don't reveal alcohol use only drug use . To detect alcohol you need to do a breathalyzer but if the person isn't drunk they will pass the breathalyzer .and besides as long you are not under the influence of alcohol on the job they can't say anything about drinking..
but man it's going to be a interesting explosion.
They only work one day a week. I don't want to hear that grueling shit.
i believe everything LuFisto says because if it were a lie, these chicks would just blow her off as a liar. not try to bury the story.
most of them didn't bury her. Britt, Saraya, Taya, maybe a few others. the rest from what I seen just seemed to talk about having postive experiences.
Them all springing to action reminds me of my wife's soon to be ex barn. They badmouth, insult, gossip, and backstab each other all the damn time but if someone calls them out on it they all suddenly fall in lockstep in defense about what a wonderful, supportive sisterhood they have.
@tw475 you missed the point of why they did all of that
Exactly. This is how dumb these girls are...
"WhoFisto?"
It was right there and none of them saw it.
CTE checks for everyone please.
@@randomlynamed3353this. They pull each others hair out until someone points out how dumb it all is then they form a huge human shield together for a brief time.
The Rise and Fall of AEW documentaries are about to be fire 🔥
There was no rise though
Why do people want aew to go away?
Gonna be better than any single angle the company's ever produced
@Punkinlunk For the same reason people take out garbage, because it stinks.
@@wilcee238 Lol fair enough.
Victoria said the same thing. She said on her podcast months ago that she was treated badly at AEW. She said she was backstage and pretty much said the exact things LuFisto said. She said she felt so uncomfortable and unwanted there
Lisa Marie Varon, Victoria? She was on aew? If that woman has something to say about the division. You know it’s true.
Interesting how Victoria saying things got minimum if any attention yet LuFisto, who is much less known, saying it became almost the biggest story of the week.....
It's likely timing. I imagine if Victoria/Lisa Marie had made her comments following the recent fan sign that kicked all this off, it would have been MUCH harder to "hand wave" away.
@@9pastnoon680fan sign?
@@xfacta334slow news week in wrassling maybe?
Cody and Brandy leaving created a power vacuum in that lockeroom that never got patched up
More like they left a toxic mess run by assholes.
That’s a good point. I didn’t really consider the shake up from Brandys departure.
I know we like to joke about Cody and Brandy being a little over the top but there was none of this when they were there. They've proven to be the only adults in that locker room.
I feel like Brandi actually deserves some credit for helping out in the women's locker room.
I feel for that matter Cody was clearly the only EVP that was actual a mature adult and took his job seriously.
@karishmasingh4305 I always liked Brandy, she just has no business wrestling.
The backstage drama in AEW is always much more interesting and entertaining than the on screen product.
Definitely! Tony should have hidden cameras in his locker rooms. that'll get some numbers.
To worthless vultures with no drama in their day to day.
He probably already does.
@@tw475 they have a reality show and they do air a LOT of their dirty laundry on that show. Thats how I found out that they all hate Thunder Rosa
Don't Worry Darling in a nutshell:
As a young woman who has been involved in girl drama like this, it was definitely planned they sent out posts all at the same time :/
but women do everything together. Even their periods sync up.
They bout sent the first draft in their group chat.
Honestly the coordinated response from the Women's locker room just reinforces the "Mean Girls Clique" allegations afaic.
Oh interesting
Its a PR management they are trying to safe the company and the women from bad word of mouth
When Jade said that she was “outside of the bubble”…
👀
Yeah, looking back at this, maybe we shouldn't be so mad that Jade decided wrestling wasn't for her. If this is her first experience, can anyone blame her?
What does she mean by that?
@@monkeydluffy983 If you’re on the AEW women’s roster and not in the Plastics (Britt, Toni, Paige/Saraya, and Jamie), then you’re ousted like a male AEW wrestler who publicly supported Punk (Lufisto spoke on something that was already obvious to people paying attention objectively). Plus, don’t you dare get over more than any of them, or else you’ll get treated like Thunder Rosa or Jade, who had a whole title made specifically so that she’s kept away from the Plastics.
Even Jon Moxley said he never has seen as much drama as he has in AEW. The talent that did their little group tweets all at the same time acting like everything is okay is hilarious. Hope they stay away from Collision and that Thunder Rosa has a great comeback.
At this point, I hope Thunder Rosa gets out of that shithole. It sounds like hell for anyone's mental health.
The very worst most toxic well poisoner is already at impunkt wreslting, namely cm junk.
Thunder Rosa could actually beat up everyone on the roster.
Thunder Rosa is part of the problem. She whined about the Brock Lesnar/Eddie mariachi segment on SmackDown almost 20 years ago for "making fun of my culture" - because god forbid a white man dancing around to a mariachi band.
@@quentinkaasa47 That’s her opinion? And it is her culture so she has a right to disagree with it. If you think it was fine then guess what that’s your opinion. Shouldn’t be an issue in understanding this.
In LuFisto's interview, she mentions she asked another AEW wrestler (which she's known for a few years): 'Where is the structure?' and his reply was "Eh, pretty much do what we want. I'm not saying that in a good way." he also says: 'Yeah, they don't really watch our matches here. I've been doing Chris Benoit moves for the past month and no one even knows. They don't care.'. 🤨
WTF omg reading that last part was disturbing gave me chills
Of course they don't. Aew access also said it . they don't know until 10 minutes or 45 minutes before the show.
Ok to be fair "doing Chris Benoit moves" would just be doing a cross face a headbutt and a German suplex. Also known as most normal wrestling matches
@@Delvokianflying headbutts are generally discouraged these days. Before his death even Harley Race who popularized the move went on record as saying that popularizing it is one of his biggest regrets.
Is this fucking Danielson she's talking about?
The women in AEW are so powerful, so talented, so capable, so badass that they need to be constantly supported, constantly hyped, constantly validated and constantly motivated by others.
It's not a matter of one or the other, but every wrestler who came out described a locker room that sounded more like an AA meeting than a place of work.
They came out just stopping short of saying that the rumors are true about their sh*t smelling like roses.
It was absurd.
Sounds like a lot of them need to go to the other brand. Their women's division has been killing it.
I can believe that something is off with Baker. When Punk joined AEW, I recall at a convention she kept pushing the idea of him getting AJ to wrestle her, going on about the money she would make wrestling AJ. She kept interrupting the interviewer. Punk eventually shut her down, saying it won't happen. It was strange.
AJ is way too good to waste her time on someone like Britt Baker. Plus her neck is already injured, Baker would probably kill her.
Baker is horrible in the ring, knows it, but is smart enough to politic to keep Tony Khan in her back pocket, keep her core group of friends at the forefront and then try and get herself programmed with any top women who come in. Which is why Mercedes said no, and why AJ would say no. If AJ comes in, she's going to Collision.
Britt Baker is just a horrible human being with some mental issues and bullied Thunder Rosa for no damn reason.
Not to mention I wouldn't trust AJ Lee's neck and spine in Britt Baker's incapable hands.
It all went downhill between them when she didn't know who Mussolini was. Punk was flabbergasted. 😅
Jim describing the whole AEW women’s locker room as “beating around the bush” before catching himself just a second too late is the funniest thing I’ve heard in a while!
I seriously doubt there is a bush in the women’s locker room landing strips, stubble, and razor bumps maybe but bushes
Given Paige is part of this roster...
@@NHL94Rebelidk Penelope, Anna J and the Bunny are fine .
@@NHL94Rebel I'm sure Nyla Rose is right up your alley.
@@jessewahwah hahaha
Lufisto says the AEW women’s locker room is full of bullies. Then the AEW women’s locker room bullies Lufisto while saying she is lying is hilarious. You have to really be drinking the AEW kool-Aid to not see right through this mess.
I bet all these women do love working in Aew. They can be employed and get paid 6 figures to go out and have terrible matches every week and not have to be good at their jobs.
Say what you want about WWE but I see why they are so strict with their rules. All of these idiots on the independent scene OPENLY shooting on each other. Just puts a bad look for every company.
Also, I hope people aren’t buying this AEW is one big happy family crap anymore
WWE stars have openly complained about all sorts of company stuff online. Balor upset at reports that he was seen as not "over" by Vince and pals. Orton bitching and moaning about talent. Rollins starting fights with Ospreay over how much more money he makes. Braun belittling "smaller" performers and indy guys (because he skipped the line and then got canned...). And now Sheamus belly aching about how much time Roman and his family are getting on TV compared to other talent... such as himself. WWE drama happens at the top of the card - performers secure in their spot who figure they have nothing to lose. The WWE will make lower/midcard talent cower but have long since lost control of the upper midcarders.
Can you imagine social media in the territory days? That would have been a major shitshow with guys airing their grievances over pay and placement on the card.
@@horgh_japanJKeep coping child
Wrestlers have been voicing frustration lately but I do agree TK needs to stop this playing both sides thing and just be a real boss
also lets not forget Saraya only went to AEW because WWE did not clear her to wrestle so she did a I'll take my ball and go elsewhere.
The fact these women all came out with their PR statements was clear indication of a cover up
Given LuFisto cancelled her bookings, I guess the mauling she took from AEW fans online got to her. If you criticize AEW for whatever reason, their fan base will attack you like vicious pit bulls. I'll never forget the love I got from AEW fans on what's now known as X over my criticism of Matt Hardy's "All Out" 2020 bump that got him concussed.
Can you blame them? listen I dont know of any is true or not but this dont look good for AEW
@@flyguy7825 honestly I think the tribalism is fucking *weird* AEW is like the CCP and you Can't criticize the Party.
There are a large section of AEW fans who are the epitome of INCEL jerk offs that behave like a 12 year old boy on Xbox when anything is spoken about their "Heroes" that they don't like.
*Chihuahuas
Their fan base is the indy fanbase sooo they are her audience . never cater to indy fanbase
“Talent with too much power” perfectly sums up AEW in a nutshell. Since the beginning, everyone in this promotion seems to be working within their own bubbles, with only the people they want to work with. The Elite works with their group, Cody worked with his group, nobody worked with FTR, Jericho picks a young talent and leaches of them at will, etc.
It looks like Tony has his “big angles” planned already, and he puts his stuff in and allows the talent to fill in the gaps, however they see fit. It ends up as chaos, not the fun kind either, the disjointed, amateurish nonsense we’ve been getting on Wednesday nights.
Victoria/Tara said similar things about the AEW roster. So clowns like MJF could deflect all they like. This shii isnt coming out of nowhere.
MJF is a stooge.
@@wilcee238 He's just milking the money mark like the rest of them. Sooner Jim realizes this, the better.
Yeah MJF is a bitch for jumping into women problems
Seems that all the problems backstage with AEW always go back to immaturity issues and lack of structure. Punk wasn't wrong; they're all like children
It was quite scary that my generation has many many people who are essentially still 14 years old. It's really scary that we have grown ups from this generation who are essentially still 8. Really scary.
@@JohnKobaRuddytwittwr might have ben the cause of it, it gave a whole lotbof people the chance of being immature
14 yr old children trapped in adult bodies always default to toxic, aggressive behaviours. It's all they know.
But Punk decided to go there anyway, so what does it say about him? And to top it all off, he decided to go BACK there.
@@decepticonxhunter4850 Punk probably disnt know what it would be like and Punk probably came back to finiah off his contract beforw he leaves
Dr Britt Baker M.I.D
DAMN! 😂
Or Dr Britt Baker D.U.MB....
I like Brian and Jim's take on this whole situation. They can all be right from their perspectives. I like the wrestler who mentioned Daffney.
they did kinda missed a key part of the whole thing, which was that the main issue Lu Fisto had was with Ruby Soho. they missed the part when she talked about it on the interview and she explained that she had interacted with Dustin Rhodes early that day and he was cool then he heard him talk to Ruby Soho and she was burying her to him. Then later in the day he said that line about all french canadian being assholes. They missed that part but overall it was great and very down the middle.
Just remember though, according to the AEW hardcore marks. CM Punk is the cause of all of the drama in AEW. He also framed Roger Rabbit, and shot Liberty Valance,
Ate Gilbert Grape. Is on first. CM Punk is to AEW backstage drama as Man-E-Faces is to Eternia. The CM must stand for "certainly multifaceted."
You left out came up with the Katie Vick storyline.
He shot JR, he knew too much, he knew too little, he cheated himself, he was in the gray flannel suit, he had one red shoe, and, of course, he wasn't there.
You left Iout he wrote the final season to game of thrones
put down Old Yeller

AEW needs to fix their issues and get serious about being a professional company
Or just get rid of the women’s division
Thanks guys
And I need to meet Halle Berry and Katy Perry in a hot tub. By the way; That has a better chance of happening.
And get serious about being an actual WRESTLING company.
@@pleaseshutup7053 Bro what the hell are you talking about? That's just dumb on top of stupid
All of those responses seemed very overly coordinated and pretty canned, except for Nyla Rose. And like someone else said, none of them said, "She's a liar." They just denied the problem exists. Something doesn't pass the smell test.
Dustin Rhodes hating French Canadians because of Jacques Rougeau had me dyin 😂
Cause hes the Mountie and he always gets his man.
@@lebawsskior maybe because he was an all-American boy…A-me-ri-can…
@@marcoantoniorivero4898 Dustin should worry if he goes into work and no one has any change
"Women hating women is a real dusty take" Except when we're all hating on Lufisto, then it's perfectly fine!
And anyone whose ever known a blunt honest woman, knows that women generally hate each other. They will tell you themselves.
To be fair, it's apparently enough of a Dusty take that Dustin took it to heart and joined the bitches against LuFisto.
@@jesuszamora6949this! When he joined, it became very clear that all of this was coordinated! This is the mentality that has been created, approved in that company.
that does seem hypocritical
@@tw475 most in AEW are
Forget about the AEW vs WWE, the AEW Civil War is much better. That's something that only AEW can win and lose at the same time.
Well that's part of the problem right there. Everybody is trying to make this into a war when it's not. They so badly want it to be like it was back in the day and the attitude era and it's never going to be that way until fans stop listening to people like Jim cordett and a lot of these f****** idiots on these podcasts who will tell you straight up that therein I'll wrestling war. You guys are never going to enjoy wrestling again. It's always going to be this versus that you'll always going to nitpick every little f****** thing
So so true. The civil war that's been going on behind the scenes on Dynamite/Rampage is pure gold because you know it's like a middle school hallway going to the ring having people mean mugging and whispering behind eachothers backs as they go to the ring
There is no civil war in AEW.
@@callumwebb4927 i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/096/564/2f7.jpg
The coordination and quick reaction of the women’s response along with the similarities of their comments points to narrative control. When a group is threatened they quickly try to control the situation, mitigate the reaction, and slander the threatener.
Yeah, it's like they were following a script. And they came right after another. They followed the game plan of most companies and groups
If LuFisto’s tweets are the first you’re hearing about the low-rent Plastics in AEW, then you had to be Tony-levels of willfully obtuse and/or oblivious.
They released an entire reality show documenting this, which they believed painting them in a good enough light to air.
No, they're just not worth caring about. That's the third, most realistic, option.
Or maybe I have a life of my own outside of showbiz tittle-tattle.
Or possibly, some of us have interests outside of wrestling which means we don't all have time to be researching the issues in the AEW women's locker room
@@herbert9241people with lives get into all sorts. Like show biz tittle tattle. Plenty of rich people who enjoy things they really shouldn't.
@@theonetheonlyjoey you're here listening to AEW highschool drama... so yeah.
If there is smoke then there is fire. So many have criticized their locker rooms, environment, atmosphere. It all comes down to Khan allowing the inmates to run the asylum.
I agree with you because ever since the CM Punk incident at the press conference and even little before that there has been drama backstage. I think it ultimately comes down to Tony Khan as well. I'm not saying that all of what has been reported has happened, but I think he really needs to start thinking about letting people go a mass cut. Instead of letting these people run out their contracts, I mean the one that comes in the mind outside of the CM Punk press conference was the Sammy Guevara Andrade situation. I mean the dude was looking to get fired. I mean the dude literally said that he was going to see him at the next taping and they had an altercation right then and there I would have fired his ass right on the spot. Who gives a damn if they walk into WWE or not or any other company who gives a f*** if you set president, it's all about sending a message to your locker room that if you don't want to be here, we will wave goodbye to you
@@flyguy7825 its funny how tony turned into Vince McMahon in keeping people locked in his company via contracts when they wanna leave. the one thing people disliked Vince for doing.
Mark Kahn
A group of women back stabbing and not getting along????? I never heard of such a thing.
Britt has to go. Her ego is getting so out of control that, as long as she's still there, the women's division will continue to fail. The fact that the AEW Women's Champion (Hayter) was in Britt's stable but Britt was still the center of attention was insane. No booker with even half of a brain would allow that (so Tony shares some of the blame, again). She's also had two of the worst women's matches I've ever seen in the past 6 months. It's baffling that she's still employed there.
Her, Jericho, the EVPs and ALL their miserable cliques need to go, but Tony's too much of a mark to crack the whip.
@@jesuszamora6949EVPs are there
Their champion was off TV while an injured Britt baker got all the segments during covid. That tells you everything
The way Britt carries on arguing with random fans that say she isnt a good wrestler is actually wild to me
@@jesuszamora6949 No cm junk and his vain glorious clique of nobody's need to go.
No one sees the irony of Nyla Rose writing, "One persons personal experience is not the gospel truth" or facts or anything but one person perspective.
This writes itself. Clown community.
I was waiting for someone to point this out! I was like, she really doesn’t understand what she just tweeted does?
🤣💀
I know damn well the transgender woman didn't just say that.... Bruh
He is still wrestling in aew?
This really proves AEW has bullies and clique-like mentality in the locker room. It's funny because what if that girl was telling the truth. Mjf wouldn't know that, I'm sure he wasn't anywhere near a women's meeting. He has no idea what happened..But he basically bullied the girl off the internet from hearsay... that lockerroom just looks so unprofessional. And also isn’t it odd how your top men’s champion calls out this random nobody indie woman’s wrestler that “lied”. People who responded usually don’t respond to this type of stuff but came out the wood works calling her names and destroying her whole career. Why would a top men champion insert himself in little petty women drama? Regardless, if she was telling truth or lie..This as a whole looks a mess & glad WWE has restrictions on what talents tweet. A whole high school mess at AEW
yeah true. you know why he probably did it? hes now working a program with the invisible man Ant-man Smoll and Britt is Ant-mans girlfriend. so he probably did it for his friend. too much of all-friends wrestling for MJF imo. even their whole program rn as double-clothesline bey-bey just reminds me of the Young Bucks and Hangma'am Page arguing over who is really whos friend. it seems like MJF is just hanging out with the Elite clique rn and standing up for his all-friends.
I sorely miss Serena Deeb. Hope she comes back soon!
It's funny how all the responses on TWITTER started coming out just minutes apart. Guess they were thinking over strategy in the group chat 😂. Shame they didn't keep this same energy during the Big Swole fiasco. Respect to Lio Rush for having the guts to call out Tony for what he said to her and defend her publicly. While others stayed radio silent. He's a real one.
MJF is a stooge, and I’ve lost all respect for him for defending AEW.
it's funny how britt started to talk about anti-bullying around the time aew would've been contacted for a response, then she started to do it again the day the interview came out.
I would like to give Lion Rush his due too, but I don't know how he figures into this. This whole thing is hard to follow.
Yeah that was the funniest part it was like he sent out a memo to everyone to respond to it and they all did hahaha
@@wilcee238are we really surprised by MJF’s coming to AEW’s rescue? He’s just another company yes man, and he’s also their world champion. In real life, he’s not this rebel that he portrays himself to be on TV.

he was spot on

@@jv4xn This sounds like reddit-tier armchair psychology.
It ain't that deep, bro. Most aggro/badass people are like that either by nature or because they live in an environment that demands it. Saying the openly fragile are the real badasses sounds like cope ngl.
I think he may have been indirectly taking a shot at Eddie Kingston. "I'm the only person whose brave enough to speak up" was an Eddie catchphrase for a while 😂
MJF has been scaring me lately. I think he’s surrounded by too much of the “all friends wrestling” attitude and it’s infecting him. Why should the top heel champ care about what a 40 year old indie women’s wrestler says about the female locker room of the company he works for? Shaking hands with FTR after the match, cringey segments with cole, it’s been reminding me of when he did that musical with Jericho…
Getting too many bad habits, and too much money to break them.
Eh, I think he’s doing what he needs to make millions from a clear moron. He has to work 1-2 days a week, can’t say pretty much whatever he wants, is the top guy…I’d play along too he can secure a nice bag abs potentially retire early!
He’s a hack. Always been a hack.
It's hard to tell because he tweets in character. I assume he's staying heel with the Cole stuff?

Jellyfish Khan literally let this build up to the point where Rosa considered leaving this earth, but let her have actually fought these miserable women. Tony definitely knows how to properly handle a situation like that, right?🙄
I wonder which comes first; someone killing themselves on live TV with a bullshit, reckless stunt, or someone ACTUALLY killing themselves and blasting all this backstage nonsense in their suicide note?
At this point AEW is an indictment of Shad Khan's parenting 🤣🤣🤣
Remember her literally sobbing on TV? I think after that week of abuse, having her entire career suddenly called into question, having the tables turned on you like that... I think I'd of been crying too tbh.
He’s lost control of his employees. It’s sad to watch.
@@LouieV6 Can’t lose what you never had.
*Edit: I wish Brian actually listened or gotten the cliff's notes version of what Lufista said instead of regurgitating tweets. She talked about how no one knew what they were doing until right before the match and the girls were calling sht that didn't make sense. And it was Lufisto who said she worked with Jaques Rougeau and said he was an ahole.
20 years in working the business is making it, regardless of not being in the wwe. Being apart of a mark company for 4 years is nothing, MJF.
LuFisto not only exposed the politics in this Locker Room AGAIN! But in one point, she confirmed the whisper campaign against Punk and the talents stabbing each others in the back.
This! She all but said, people are already scheming before you get in. Let’s not forget, the rumors about the cabana issue started well before punk’s debut!
so why did she even bother going to AEW if she knew it was a cesspool?
16:39 The way Jim just yells out of nowhere and Brian completely ignores it is hilarious 😂
WTF did Thunder do to Britt? This is the kind of hatred you'd get from someone if you killed their puppy
she allegedly sandbagged marina shafir. marina is married to roddie strong and britt is with adam cole (BAY BAY!!!).
which if you think about it, puts those 4 smack dab in the middle of the cucamonga cult.
She had the nerve to have more talent and get over better
@@greghughes6098She did break Jamie nose and hurt Britt
She's physically and technically more talented than her so its jealousy and envy thunder rosa is miles upon miles better than almost all the females in that promoting
Thunder Rosa came in and got over organically, and wasn't taking any of Britt's BS. That's the gist of it. She played a role in Rosa being accused of sandbagging Shafir, but Cornette watched the match back and detailed how it was all Shafir's fault.
Notice they all tweeted within 20 minutes of each other. Definitely not coerced.....
oh my god this "Mean Girls" movie reference on the preview image😂😂😆
Aew is literally a highschool where grown men and women talk behind each others back like children and instead of trying to draw money or get something people would believe in they’d rather play with their friends while tony khan has no authority or control over these people
Thankyou Travis for drawing saraya with a tan.
There was obviously some truth to what Lufisto said. As Brian and Jim said, they all got way too defensive.
This photo of jim in the middle made my day 😂 great work travis
Travis Heckel never fails with his artwork.
well you haven't seen as many as I have
The Mean Girls reference is gold
Lol Saraya acting like that despite being one of the most toxic females in wrestling is hilarious
The WWE Women's division's top stars, can actually draw numbers. Behind the Bloodline, the Charlotte/Bianca/Asuka segments have been the second highest rated on a number of occasions. Rhea draws. Becky draws. I completely agree with Brian Last that, there is no comparison between WWE and AEW's Women's Division. And while much of that is due to the women, a substantial portion of that is down to Tony Khan, who clearly doesn't care about the division and books it like he doesn't care about it and then blames the division for not getting better ratings when he sets it up to fail.
Bro just sat here and lied Lmao
@@TheDakAttackShow Just two weeks ago, Bianca/Charlotte/Asuka, did a segment that drew about 2.4m viewers.
Tony actually cares a lot about the women's division but he's really really bad at booking 😭
Bro, just because he doesn't book the women’s division how you would like it and others does not mean he doesn't give a s*** he doesn't give a s*** about the woman's division. Didn't he just give Jade Cargill literally the longest run I think I've ever seen from a woman as champion. Do people forget that as he not pushed women like Thunder Rosa Britt Baker, Toni Storm and Jamie Hayter you want to compare this to the WWE you can't sit here and tell me any one of those ladies would have gotten a fair shot at being women's champion or even being able to showcase what they can do on a major stage. They would have all played second fiddle to Charlotte Flair. Becky Lynch and Ronda Rousey
@@TheDakAttackShowbuddy watch something else, for ur mental health sake
Impact has actually had a solid women's division for a few years
Which is why Naomi chose them over AEW. You know darn well Tony wanted her. Instead, he got Taya and has pretty much jobbed her out.
@@segagenesis7708 Naomi knew that was going to happen to her. Good head on her shoulders, that one.
Knockouts Division was legit up until the point they put reality show wash outs in the ring. Then their Women's Division (or is it still called Knockouts?) got hot again after WWE dropped the ball w/ Deonna Purrazzo.
They had a partnership with aew yet no one was used for any feud with shida. Said it all how much tony cared and injured Britt baker got segments.
@@dranzerjetli5126 it feels like he made that partnership solely for Kenny Omegas belt collector gimmick. Because they have gotten nothing from that deal and had ppl taken but not much going the other way.
Welcome to All Drama Wrestling where there's more drama than your mom's favorite tv soap opera!
If only they stopped Tweeting and improved their in ring work..maybe they would stop killing the ratings.
Amen sir
“If they’re kickass women why do they need a safe space” Jim took the words out of my mouth.
All of these safe space advocates dress themselves up like hardcore punks presenting themselves as tough as nails rebels, but get shattered by nasty words.
Kicking someone like Hayter in the back as she's laying on the ground is how you end someone's career! That shit needs to be stopped.
He's absolutely right about that, no doubt. If the want to be wrestlers, they should act like it. For that, you need a real boss like a Vince McMahon to reel the girls in and make sure they toe the line. Unfortunately, I think Corny's view that women's wrestling should have never moved beyond Moolah's traveling show obscures the good points that a lot of these girls SHOULD be listening to, this one included. The girls should look past that part of his territory mentality and seriously take the advice to TOUGHEN THE HELL UP, but they're going to point to his ONE bad take and ignore all the good ones.
Being a dick isn't cool, but if you're going to be in pro-wrestling, or doing anything professional, you shouldn't be a baby when you get criticism. The locker room is soft.
@@jesuszamora6949 I love the soft bigotry of low expectations. Women's wrestling basically doesn't draw very well. And especially now that the fandom has to pretend they don't like that the wrestlers are sexy everyone's just glad they're out there doing their best.
There are some great women who I would pay to see wrestle.
Jim's not wrong, these divisions have been given every opportunity to print money and they have yet to do so. It's not because people are opposed on principle, it's not because they aren't booked well, they're just not that great usually.
That said, I think meiko satamura v rhea could draw, they just have to build meiko for a couple of months.
Wrestlers by and large have massive inferiority complexes, if not more deep seated issues. Look at the progeny of Von Erich, Graham, and Smith.
Pretty sure Nyla Rose is the only guy that cares about what's going on in the women's locker room
I noticed that most of the women that responded are talking about how great the locker room is. I bet anything that all of them are good friends with each other. All of them fit the profile of "All Friends Wrestling" where no outsiders are allowed. If an outsider gets in, then they are put on a Saturday night show, away from the good friends.
I really laughed about Dustin being in the locker room for some reason.
He could have walked in as GoldDust
See: WrestleMania XII.
NXT has a better women’s division than AEW and they’re green. But, you know Tiffany Stratton, Cora Jade, etc are going to be great. The main reason why is the WWE has people coaching them, which no one in AEW wants to do.
Yep. WWE teaches people sternly and suffers no fools.
I've been more impressed with NXT ladies than most women's divisions lately.
Make sure LuFisto is okay. That's the most important thing at the moment.
Yeah her final tweet had me fairly worried I hope some one does a welfare check
Too late sadly, rip
@@B3Band Don't say that unless you have proof.
The same people harassing LuFisto on social media are the same people who hashtag #RIPHana to invoke the name of Hana Kimura who committed suicide after being bullied on social media.
@@therealmaskedheel It's so gross that this guy would say "rip" with no reason to say so.
You notice all the women claimed they were all supportive but not one of them offered support, to the accuser, in their tweets/posts. Evidently, women don't like women accusing them, on social media, either... #Hypocrisy101
Good God most of these women sound like absolute narcissists. _"If you disagree with me, it's because you're wrong and are dishing out premeditated attacks."_
Corny's right too btw; if they're such badasses, why do they need a safe space? You think Harley Race needed a safe space? No, he needed an opponent, a cigar, and a case of beer.
Dave Meltzer will twist the story to make CM Punk the main culprit behind this issue.
"We've heard stories before, but we just never dig into it because it's the women's locker room." lmfao
What’s interesting about the situation, it’s not the women that responded, but the women in AEW that did not respond….🤔
Funny how Nyla Rose had the most well thought out post in the group. It’s almost like she use to be a man or something.
What? A group of women cant get along? Well I'll be damned, thats never happened before.
The funny thing is, it wasn’t a big deal until TK had the womens roster do PR damage control on twitter all at the same damn time lmao, which drew more attention to the original post by LuFisto…
Sometimes the best response is no response.
Some AEW fans are pretty sickening. They sit rhere and blast some of the WWE fans for their bad behaviour and yet rhey exhibit the worst bullying behaviours in wrestling fans going. I can imagine some horrible things were sent Lufisto's way.
Jim's current career is bashing and bullying people online lol. You really can't be "bullied" online, just put the phone down.
Last week on Dynamite, they had Shida and Toni Storm wrestle for the women's championship in the main event. According to Twitter, that's when a good chunk of the crowd started leaving. AEW fans simply don't care about women's division and Tony hasn't given them a reason to. People (apologists) can't blame it on the talent forever.
The talent is part of it, but there's also the lack of reps (no one in that company wrestles all that much, not just the women) and the backstage bullshit. These women would be better off going somewhere like WoW or the like, or going back to the indies where, let's be real, most of them belong to begin with.
They suck, why should anyone care?
Cant wait to hear Jim's take on Kenny's girl winning the title the week Kenny re signed to stay. And how the Bucks get to work FTR at Wembley... Seems like Tony gave them "Creative Control".
The Mark booker never learns.
Yep Bucks are gonna win the Tag Team belts and win the rubber match with FTR. That's why they gonna give FTR the Trios titles with Punk as a consolation prize 😒
London dynamite!
I'll never figure out how Kenny escaped Cancel Culture with his relationship with Riho when she was under age
@@dbeckwith00 I've always had suspicions of him liking underage kids.
That Mean Girls reference artwork 😂
Next do Clueless😂😂
Jimsay Lohan?
Cornhan
It honestly sounds like Jim or whomever it takes should have a conversation with LuFisto to cheer her up. A conversation that none of us ever hear. I hope she's okay. Seriously. This sounds seriously messed up. And it's obvious that the whole thing was coordinated, no matter who was in the right. They weren't in snuggly pajamas; this was a coordinated effort to assassinate LuFisto's character AND her humanity.
She needs to be on podcast and reveal everything
Lufisto is not a good person. She rats on fellow wrestlers on crossing the border illegally.
@Gurziak she calls put people who break the law? That's not a good person? What kinda backassward thinking is this.
@@zombieninjatedsmith1301 tell me your a trumpie without telling me your trumpie
@@Gurziak i'm left leaning and good for her if she reports criminal activity because that is exactly what it is illegal entry do it the right way. you sound like one of those far left indoctrinated doofuses
MJF is so good at playing an old school heel that he has had Jim convinced hes not a silly mark like the rest of the indyriffic AEW roster. Genius if you really think about it. Hes played a victim since the whole Jew thing last year.
Indeed. This is either MJF working Tony, or he's just as much of an idiot as the rest of them, and given his antics with Adam Cole, I'm starting to believe the latter.
On a side note, I think we can discount him trying to get laid. In his interview with Helwani (the one that got Helwani hot with Tony in the first place), he mentioned he was either engaged or married to "a good Jewish woman" or something thereabouts.
@@jesuszamora6949nah she cheated on him. Rn he is single.
let's face it. Max knows he's got the size against him, he's not blowing his aew backup plan.
@@tw475Tbh I’m starting to question if WWE even wants to sign MJF he hasn’t been a ratings draw much for Dynamite or helped with tickets sales and I haven’t once heard WWE put out feelers on MJF or saying anything to the dirt sheets
@@EpsilonsamaHe got cheated on? Vince would kill his push over some shit like that.
I think Thunder Rosa is actually in the intro for Collision, isn’t she? I hope she shows up someday. She is one of my favorites.
WWE trained their female wrestlers but also they know that Vince wont think twice about firing their asses if they don't get better or if they have to much drama
Sunny and Sable were massive sources of drama. He didn’t fire them, he didn’t have to. He had people in places who could handle those problems. That’s what Tony is missing.
Wow, this company really is beyond saving.
These children - and now we can add MJF to that list - all deserve each other .
God forbid MJF defends his coworkers or the company he works for. Go seek a safe space immediately!
@@roadcyclist1 Last time I checked, he’s not a woman. And yet he chose to involve himself and pile onto this campaign against Lufisto. Which by the way, their reaction just proves she is telling the truth.
Btw, an AEW fan has no room to lecture anyone on “safe spaces” when your little Buckeroos were so scared of another man, they forced the boss to create an entirely new show to put him on so they wouldn’t feel unsafe 😂😂😂
@@roadcyclist1
That safe space is already occupied by the teenagers in AEW, and their cultist fans.
@@callumwebb4927 I hate the bucks and hangman page. I also hate all the indie hacks like jungle boy and Darby allen.
That Mean Girls thumbnail is something else 😂 give Travis a raise please
Jacques Rougeau still stirring up people in 2023. 😂
The mountie always gets his man .
I think the most idiotic thing here, is thinking that friends of Britt baker would be able to genuinely comment on this. It screams “on the topic of lions eating gazelle, the lions deny any aggression”
I will constantly remind people what Jon Moxley said. "I have never seen more toxic bullshit in one place"
So basically Britt Baker is 96/97 Shawn Michaels. Got it.
Ok, the Jim-sey Lohan look is just hilarious.
KONNAN!!!
The marks are in the ring
Uncle Dave and cousin alverez will blame this on cm punk
Or Jim's cult followers
The same promotion that refused to sign Tessa Blanchard, because other wrestlers said she would be a toxic presence in the lockerroom
aka "because she would be a bigger star than all of them just by showing up"
There afraid of real talent
To be fair, Tessa has done plenty to ruin her own chances. Has she ever returned Impact's belt to them, or are they still using that Pakistani replacement?
@@B3Bandbingo! Say what you want about her, she would have made them all ( except Rosa and Deeb) look green as hell. There was no way they were letting her in the there.
Tessa blackballed herself.
If AEW could just get rid of the goofy “wrestlers” and actually keep the stars like Bryan Danielson and cm punk they can literally be a good company.
Honestly, Bryan just seems happy to be wrestling at all, and willing to take any amount of crap. CM Punk? He does seem to want to put out a good show, but I think even he is counting the days until that contract is up and he can go back to being an actor and minor-league MMA announcer full-time. The business must seem so irreparable in his eyes now.
In order to be a good company, Tony Khan would have to get rid of himself. His actions and inactions laid the groundwork for the inmates running the asylum.
Just give the girls Rampage. Let them have a hour a week. All their matches and angles.
