Players Bobby Lashley (48), Shelton Benjamin (50) and MVP (51) are allegedly causing issues in AEW.

According to Voices of Wrestling's Joe Lanza, these rumors may have some merit.

>Look I just heard something today a few hours before this show. That it's actually MVP pulling the strings, and getting in their ears and lobbying for them to constantly look strong. And that is has derailed some booking plans that Tony Khan had for the Toronto shows because these guys don't want to do business.

You can hear more starting at 1:43:18

Although Lanza does acknowledge that Shelton Benjamin does jobs.

The black fossils are getting uppity!!

>Paying three ancient niggas millions to hold the tag belts and draw zero dimes

>>18192801 (OP)
Who should they job to? The faggot and the guy no one knew existed until 3 months ago?

>>18192801 (OP)
So tony khan books some strong looking people properly strong once and everyone suddenly hates him for it despite shitting on how he can't book anyone strong. They are building a team to put over the tag division, especially with you faggots hating the bucks idk what you want from tag team wrestling at all

>>18192801 (OP)
Also I fucked up and earned KWABOTY by writing "shows" instead of "show". I think Lanza was specifically referring to All Out later this year.

Takeshita/kyle
Hounds of Hell

I really don’t know any other tag team that should beat HS

>>18192801 (OP)
Truth be told, who else would be better tag champs in AEW right now?

Christian & Yung Bussin?
Outrunners?
FTR?

Hurt business has a new meaning

>>18192801 (OP)
Sad news indeed!

>>18192801 (OP)
They are the champions, they shouldn´t be doing jobs.
The real problem with THS right now is that they are trapped in the MJF vortex.

>>18192801 (OP)
Bro if they wanted me to job to fucking Jetspeed I'd go into business for myself, there's gonna be a right time for them to lose

>>18192963
Outrunners before Tony killed their heat

>>18192820
The 5 foot nothing old cucks need another run. So Bobby and Shelton should definitely do business and put them over. After the 27th super kick, it'll look completely believable

>>18192801 (OP)
Thankfully Christian has more pull than MVP.

>>18192801 (OP)
>And that is has derailed some booking plans that Tony Khan had for the Toronto shows because these guys don't want to do business
Kek so no E&C tag reunion? Definitely not them winning the tag belts as part of it if so

>>18192963
Big Bill seems over with the crowds, but that just might be wishful thinking

>>18192801 (OP)
Good

>>18193355
Kys Peepfag

>>18192801 (OP)
>nooo why don't they job happily to Daniel Garcia and Max Caster
Tony putting out these hit pieces only makes him look more retarded

>>18193053
>The real problem with THS right now is that they are trapped in the MJF vortex.
Bingo. Seriously there's only a couple of ways this plays
>Entire stable holds all the gold
>MJF gets his BBB back
>Somebody is going to get stabbed in the back, which means there's a chance babyface MJF comes back and a 50+ year old Bobbo is in the world title picture
Look, I love Bobbo, but if you put him in that slot and AEW is going to undo everything they've tried to fix over the last year. That is the definition of a WWE program.

SIGH

>>18193369
He's definitely had his moments. The crowd wants to get behind him. I honestly don't know why they didn't pull the trigger with him turning on Jericho before Jericho took the time off. Could've gotten Bill the pop, and while Chris is out he could have a string of wins building him up towards some midcard belt. Title match comes and there's Jericho back to fuck him over and set up a match between them. Instead we just got Jericho awkwardly leaving and the other two left with nothing

>>18193431
They need to get Buddy away from Brody Queen

>>18193437
>hey buddy, would you like to purchase one of my abolish ice shirts?
>the fuck, why the fuck would I get rid of ice? I need that shit to keep my drinks cold, mate.
>im Julia and my husband is a black man.

Surprised? You shouldn’t be. That’s how these motherfucking n***ers act. Tony’s mistake was ever trusting a word that came out of a lying n***ers mouth in the first place. You can’t trust a word that comes out of these monkeys mouth. Bunch of low IQ knuckle dragging apes who can barely speak English. They should be setting up the ring at gunpoint not having a role on TV. Fucking n***ers

>>18192801 (OP)
Shelton just ate the pin a week ago

>>18193375
Dilate, discord tranny

>>18193479
Dead dads dead dead dead’s hehehehe wow.

>>18193490
No wonder you're a tranny. No father.

>>18193497
Hehehe dead dads reddit lol based thanks for the gold guys and remember dead dads peep

>>18192801 (OP)
The Carnival Cruise Crew don't do the J-O-B for NOBODY!

>>18193506
Holy seethe. Health insurance stopped covering the HRT?

they’ll lose to Christian and Edge since they’re ex wwe guys

>>18192801 (OP)
Their whole gimmick is being a dominant group, what business are they not doing?

>>18193537
Weren’t you the guy who spammed the board talking about Christian’s feet

>>18193544
All four are ex-WWE guys. The difference is Lashley and Shelton are nobodies, so yes of course they should lose.

>>18193544
kek this
should really lose to Swerve and Ospreay, they could drop it to Takeshita/Kyle or Hounds. Then Edge and Christian, then they'll drop to FTR.

>>18193335
The Outrunners best window to win the tag titles was last summer. They were over as hell and could have worked the Arlington show as strongly booked over the top baby faces until dropping them at All Out or Wrestledream.

They want their booking to make sense?
What assholes!

>>18193552
No

>>18192801 (OP)
>and lobbying for them to constantly look strong.
Shouldn't they?

>>18193420
>and a 50+ year old Bobbo is in the world title picture
>Look, I love Bobbo, but if you put him in that slot and AEW is going to undo everything they've tried to fix over the last year.
Only a tranny is deranged enough to think that having someone with a build and MMA experience like Bobbo holding the belt will be detrimental instead of actually giving it legitimacy for once.
God forbid AEW have a champion that actually looks like a wrestler instead of generic skinnyfat midget #150.

>>18193762
it’s just not that kind of company. you can hate on it and mock it, but AEW’s whole world title scene is that it’s guys who would have been considered wcw cruiserweights or tna x division presented at the main eventers

They actually make the tag division seem world title level

There is no tag team in the world presently who should beat them. They should be champs for well over a year minimum

>>18193875
>>18193431

>>18193369
he's fine but needs someone better as a partner than the nigga cowboy

>>18192801 (OP)
sound like bullshit first off all shelton loses a lot in singles and bobby should be booked as a monster just look at him
the problem is that there are no decent babyface teams to beat them, ofc they don't wanna job to fucking speedball, if they refused to job to prime acclaimed or ftr or the inevitable edge and christian reunion I'd be one thing but not with speedball and generic flippy nigga n.13214

>>18193875
I's do agree indeed my fellow white wrestling fan, in fact, I believe they should be paid higher and the word 'unc' considered discrimination.

>>18193875
i was surprised how short their reign has been, felt longer

>>18193898
Buddy is injuried indefinitely, you can stop shitposting now

>>18194410
No one knows what you're trying to say.

>>18195218
No you should.

>>18192820
>Who should they job to?
>>18193350
>The 5 foot nothing
they knew what they were getting into when they signed with all midget wrestling. dont go there and not expect to have to job to vanilla midgets

>>18192801 (OP)
Good

>>18192801 (OP)
Are they really 48 and 50?

>>18195810
>they knew what they were getting into when they signed with all midget wrestling. dont go there and not expect to have to job to vanilla midgets
Says who? Tony doesn't force people to do jobs. He lets them do whatever they want and will pay them if they don't want to lol. Gotta be the sweetest gig in the biz.

>>18192801 (OP)
Tony wanted them to lose to JetSpeed, didn't he? KWAB

AT A COMBINED LENGTH OF 42 INCHES

>>18197806
>Tony doesn't force people to do jobs.
no but someone has to lose. cant believe they went there expecting to never lose. since there is nothing but midgets there who else did they expect to eventually lose to?

>>18198078
IT'S HORNSWOGGLE

>>18192801 (OP)
Tonight confirmed they are losing the belts Sunday for sure.
Shelton takes the pin with the bad leg angle they set up tonight

>The Hurt Business
>hurt the business
Wrestling fans are too dumb to get Tony's booking

>>18198247
>no but someone has to lose.
Not them.

>>18193875
Brody is over as fuck so i could easily see him and buddy beating them but idk how long he's out for.

>>18192801 (OP)
They should not be doing meaningless jobs, MVP is correct for this

>>18192801 (OP)
He's playing the race card hard

>>18192801 (OP)
What’s wront with the way they’re booked? They look dominant and they should be booked that way. Genuinrly have no idea why Haitch didn’t want them instead of DIY and New Day shitting up the division.

>>18192801 (OP)
They aren't protesting enough getting beat down by fucking Mike Bailey and Nick Wayne, WTF man retarded bullshit is that???

AEW fans are befuddled by top stars not wanting to look weak against forever midcarders. Shocking.

>>18199124
>Genuinrly have no idea why Haitch didn’t want them
they are all 50+yrs old. none of them draw any viewers. thet cost too much. none of them have any personality

>>18199634
Yeah but if the booker tells you then you gotta do it, this isn't the 70s where you can hold him up and go to Japan

>>18192801 (OP)
Are saying they should be jobbing to Mike Bailey?

>>18192801 (OP)
Lol good, there's nobody over there that ought to be beating them now anyways except maybe Edge and Christian, but I don't think Tony's done their reunion yet.

>>18199887
I think it would be funnier if they just went into business for themselves since Bobbo and Shelton are both shooters. Literally nobody is a real threat to them.

>>18200143
why would they do that, they'd get sued and wouldn't get booked, it'd just be shitty for everyone like when Austin walked away when Vince said to job to Brock on free tv

>>18192801 (OP)
What I'll never understand is Tony seemingly not being able to put his foot down at all. There's constant reports of certain wrestlers refusing to take a pin or look weak. Fucking hell Tony, you're their boss for fuck sake. You TELL them to lose, not ask. And if they refuse? Give them a 20k fine, and that's just for the first offence. Second offence is a month long unpaid suspension.

>>18192801 (OP)
I'm pretty sure the thing is building to Ospreay and Swerve taking the belts. Probably Swerve pinning Bobbo

>>18200199
It's really astounding that after all the stuff that happened with FTR, Punk, Miro, Rosa, Britt and Black - TK is still hiring Exfed shitters like the Hurt Syndicate and Sasha who clearly feels they're better than the rest of the roster and shouldn't have to do jobs. Sasha hasn't been pinned since starting in AEW and if she beats Storm then Tony is full retard

>>18192801 (OP)
If they don't want to job, either just strip them of the titles or do it the Montreal way. If they are being insubordinate and doing harm to the company, send them home, stop paying them. Let them try to sue.

They are not a draw anyway.

>>18200289
reckon they're just playing politics they're gonna lay down for the money if they have to, this aint wcw

Hogs will endure 5 years of Roman Reigns every strong challenger WWE had to offer. Each win by run in or DQ.
The Hurt Syndicate are champions for a few months and dirt sheets and hogs are spewing milk from their bitchtits.
They are giving credibility to the tag team belts. Not just ANY pair of shitters can challenge for it, it gives it prestige back. I'd rather them hold it while the division builds teams into credible threats.
To the Hurt Syndicate, each other and the fans can begin to invest in tag teams, vying for their opportunities to wrestle almost the best of themselves before they challenge the two behemoth veterans.
