    If this Mofo debuts tonight at Sacrifice I’ll pop.

    Yeah, their relationship fractured when they disagreed about what to do unfortunately. I think reconciliation is off the table at this point. You can tell an attempt was made because Santana agreed to do that one multi man match with Ortiz (was it blood and guts)? There was a point in time...

    I mean, just look at what the fuck they were able to do last night? Is mind-boggling how loaded both companies can be with stars. This is also why I think more tag teams should be created. Because the great thing is look at the blackpool combat club. They have plenty of singles matches, but...

    Yeah, I was alluding to that at the end there.

    It’s probably easier for some people to try to create a villain so to speak of Santana as the one who sabotaged everything versus it just being a complicated situation with a lot of different people that want different things.

    Sometimes people hear what they want to hear.

    Someone is going to snap up Santana quick though.

    Mike Santana no longer part of AEW

    I respect his response. He’s trying to navigate answering completely honestly while also not disparaging the company that he works for and I think he means everything that he says. The only thing I would disagree with is I think when he was in the inner circle would’ve been the perfect time to...

    That would be the opposite of everything I’ve ever heard. The thing Chris was saying, Ortiz said was they were penciled to win the titles twice according to him.

    And to be fair, even AEW technically has put swerve first in Mogul, and then in the embassy. He gonna be the breakout star of that group though for sure.

    Makes sense. I’ll be honest sometimes being part of a larger act is what draws me to a superstar and see their potential.

    I think the thing that a lot of people forget is different bookers have different booking philosophies and because of those different philosophies they’re also looking for different things in talent. There’s a lot of superstars that didn’t make it elsewhere, but became big stars in WWE and then...

    Seems a bit confusing then if Hunter called him to come back but it’s also possible he got proven wrong. That’s the story WWE always told McIntyre is sometimes they want you to go out and you’ll prove themselves and then they come back.

    Swerve and MJF cut their teeth in MLW so I do think they came into AEW as relative unknowns to the AEW fans, but I would say that hangman was quite well established by the time AEW opened up by the types of people that were watching the show because he was very prominent in Ring of Honor with...

    Mike Santana no longer part of AEW

    I can’t disagree with that statement. Like I’ll be honest, I’ll put my hand on the Bible and say that revolution was one of the best things I’ve seen in a while. I love what AEW does present most of the time but I think the worst thing about Tony’s booking is the tag team titles. I think...

    And yeah, I take the penciled to win part with a grain of salt, but I absolutely believe them when they say the just general not winning them part is what led to him wanting to leave. Didn’t even need to be promised them. Just saw he wasn’t gonna.

    Mike Santana no longer part of AEW

    And the paycheck which is why i don’t vilify Ortiz either.
  18. Kross Rhodes

    Mike Santana no longer part of AEW

    To be fair this is in Line with what I was also thinking. It’s like I’ve I’ve said a couple of times but I don’t think Miro would’ve been your five time world champion having 9 month runs but he would’ve been your big show. That’s your giant monster, that every once in a blue moon, you put the...

    Mike Santana no longer part of AEW

    That makes me feel for Santana, even more than because if you were told twice, you were gonna win the belts and both times you had the rug pulled out from under you. I would probably say yeah Ortiz let’s go somewhere else.

    I mean it’s possible, but that would add to the issue if they were going to and then it just didn’t happen.
