Ok I'm not saying you're wrong for repeating what meltzer is saying

The point is you were adamant that it was the case because big Dave said it
Yes Becky probably asked to be turned heel

But everything we've seen from Becky since her returning indicates she isn't a heel but is turning to one
That is the point

And yes short term it won't help bianca because Becky is probably the most popular female wrestler in a long long time if ever
Long term we will not know until it plays out

But Becky being cheered when she comes out doesn't mean it's a failure
Her getting a crowd to turn doesn't mean it's a success, point being let's let it play out
If she is a heel, and the word he used is "definitely" the case - then its obviously not the reaction you want.

Theres been no suggestion that its a slow build from anyone. Thats just your personal opinion and I'm going to believe the people who say they have WWE contacts. Unless you want to tell me you asked them

I don’t know who it was who said she was a heel, just that I’d assumed it was him. So everyone is in agreement that she’s on the turn and the reactions are starting to turn already and therefore, it’s working exactly as intended?
PW Insider confirmed day after her return that WWE sources now confirmed she would be a heel and Brock would be a face vs Roman

Are these the same contacts who say Asuka is off TV for creative reasons when she's pictured with a busted arm?

PWI and Meltzer almost always back up each other's news. If PWI gets something first Meltzer will usually confirm it because he knows they're a good source and vice versa. Sometimes PWI get something first, sometimes Meltzer does, sometimes its someone like Sapp... He doesn't get the same treatment though as far as I'm aware - other news sites and reporters confirming it based on respect.

Probably the same contacts who got him the Gable Steveson signing with WWE news before anyone else
You're easily pleased :lol:.

Meltzer put that out after Steveson tweeted this...


Which was a week or two after this...



That isn't a scoop. The guy was never going anywhere else.

PWinsider usually are very trustworthy and only report the actual facts that they can substantiate whereas Meltzer seems to be National Enquirer / Vince Russo at times in how he does things which deffo harms his credibility

Thats the issue, youre taking every single thing he reports as gospel. Everything.

You can believe them, but he himself has said, 'they are turning her heel'. He said it, today (or yesterday). How are you still double downing on this? He didnt just throw a comment out, but he basically branched out to discuss how they are turning her heel.

Wrestling is what you see on tv, not what somebody backstage wants or requires. The plan on the day might have been, 'thats it beckys a heel' but the smackdown after (and thereafter) has shown, Becky isnt a full on heel, and it looks like they are going towards that direction. If she was a definite heel now, she would not be the way she is or has been for the last two SDs

I reckon youve started to train, just so that you can come to this thread and say 'im in the business, you arent'...

Anyway, yeah, im looking forward to All Out. May end up watching it tomorrow though (or starting today and finishing tomorrow)

Think the tag title match should be amazing.

Hoping Dragon comes after the main event. Would be awesome.

Bryan is practically guaranteed and it'll be cool to see him but I think Ruby debuting would get a bigger cheer from me. Always liked her and the AEW women's division badly needs solid wrestlers like her.

Also, $16 dollars for an ice cream :lol:

Amazing main event and post match angles :drool:

What a super stacked roster. I feel like Rampage needs another hour already :lol:

Other than White and QT, maybe the casino battle royale everything was top draw from All Out

Great ppv.

I don't think WWE realistically have anything in its locker to even respond. Fantastic ending, made sitting through Paul white and QT Marshall worth it.

AEW are a serious rival to WWE. The quicker WWE realised that, the better for everyone

I mean yeah, AEW are the hottest wrestling company on the planet and it isn't even close.

I honestly think within 2/3 years they'll be doing better TV numbers stateside then WWE does (hard to say they'll be a bigger company with the finances WWE has + its global reach)

The only issue they have now is they have too many wrestlers and too many huge stars! Might need Rampage to be 2 hours long sooner rather then later, and they definitely need to add more PPVs to the calendar.

Also, how long can WWE hold onto people like Owens, Zayn, Cesaro, Styles if/when their contracts are up? Maybe even seemingly WWE lifers like Rollins?

Just reading fan reviews for the AEW PPV.
Almost unanimous 10/10’s and a ton of praise from a tough audience.
Well done AEW.

Would absolutely love to see him in AEW. He would be utilised properly. The clock is ticking for him as well.
