Michin makes a bold prediction for 2025, update on the Penta/Fenix AEW situation

Dec 27, 2024 - by Steve Gerweck

– The Penta and Rey Fenix situation happened because they both felt they had stagnated in AEW and knew WWE was interested.

Tony Khan thought he could keep them by offering more money, which apparently he did, but they’d already made the call to go. When Tony Khan and others wanted to talk about renewing their deal they told the people in AEW to talk to their agent rather than them.

At this point AEW knew they were gone and Khan made the decision not to use them on television.

Michin says nothing will stop her from becoming the WWE US Women’s Champion in 2025

“2025, I am gonna win the US championship. I don’t care what anybody says, that’s going to be my goal for 2025. For WWE to have that trust and put me in those situations, it actually means a lot to me.”

    if rey and penta believe that they will do any better in wwe they are dreaming. I can see a big hype build up but it won’t be long before they are on speed or main event regularly and their ring style neutered until they are like all the others.

    Doing dangerous moves to pop stupid people isn’t a ring style, it’s doing dangerous moves to pop stupid people.

    And yet, you’re the stupid person if you think WWE will give them the spotlight they deserve. Look at what happened with both Sin Caras. WWE doesn’t really care for talent not established by their own “machine”. Booker T is the best example of that.

    @WrestleFan
    “the spotlight they deserve” – How exactly do they deserve anything?
    “Booker T is the best example of that” – Yeah, former multiple times champion, upper midcarder to main eventer, hall of famer twice over, enough clout to get a hall of fame spot for his wife, still employed by the company over 20 years later in an active role even though his wrestling days are long gone, can’t shut him up when he starts praising them. But yeah, they wiped their feet on him, perfect example right there…

    Say what you want about WWE’s version of Booker T, but he’s nowhere near WCW’s version. “Shucky Ducky Quack Quack” That’s not WCW Booker T. But, I suppose Booker’s a bad example.

    Now, what I noticed is none of what you typed rebuked what I said about Sin Cara or Sin Cara Negra. No televised or pay-per-view main events ever in either’s career. Not even a significant singles championship for either. Hell, neither is still with WWE nowadays. And yet, outside of WWE, both have flourished as main event material. Again, if you feel the need to berate & degrade other fans, then thank you for admitting that that means your fandom is pathetic enough that you feel the need to bring down others to your level.

    And yet, I bet you believe that those talent developed from WWE’s machine deserve the spotlight they’ve gotten.

    Honestly, your argument here is just as bad as your politics in all the other articles on this website.

    No one deserves anything.

    Neither Sin Cara did anything for me personally and I still can’t tell them apart, so I really couldn’t care less. But I can understand why you like them, that’s kind of a given…

    When I think of Penta and Fenix, I think of two things. One is the match where the finish saw one of them hold both Bucks for a moonsault from the other, take the exact same bump as them, and pop up like nothing happened. The other is one of them doing a Canadian Destroyer (you know, the contemporary headlock takeover) from a ladder through a table and breaking his leg in the process because he was too dumb to know the basics of physics. Now I’m looking forward to seeing if they can do anything when they’re not allowed to do stupid things like that. My guess is: no. Oh, and I can’t tell them apart either.

    I’m thrilled to see you’re back at your peak. “Booker T is the best example of that” followed by “Booker’s a bad example” is pure brilliance. Then we have “if you feel the need to berate & degrade” in the middle of an attempt to do exactly that. Thank you. You’re helping the old year go out in style.

    Well, thanks for showing you’re very much the ignorant WWE mark in not being able to recognize great talent outside WWE.

    And, at least I’m showing that I might have been wrong about Booker T. But, you’re showing you’re ALWAYS wrong about just about everything.

    So, in a way, you’re preventing the old year from ending in keeping it alive.

    WrestleFan is awesome, smart, handsome, charming, mentally stable, and has a shlong the size of a fire hose. Not to mention the best taste in wrestling around.
    Your turn…

    @Luke
    You seriously think I’ll play your little game? This shows me what I’ve known for the longest time about you since I first found out about you, and that’s that you’re just as bad as DB.

    Honestly, you’re just like all the other WWE marks who refuse to believe there’s wrestling, or even good, quality wrestling (for that matter), outside the WWE bubble world.
    In fact, I’m reminded of WWE fans like you back in the 90s who used to make fun of the blindly-loyal WCW fans. But now, turns out, you’ve become exactly what you used to hate back then; WWE fans like you have today become this era’s blindly-loyal brand fan (in other words, the WWE marks of today, like you, have become the 90s blindly loyal WCW fan). And, the fact that WWE fans like you don’t even realize how much hypocritical you’ve become now only add to the hilarity of irony on your part.
    Hell, I’d even go further & claim that you’re proving AEW could stand to become the next generation’s WWF.

    So, no; I won’t play your stupid little game. But, I thank you for finally exposing just how low the WWE Universe has sunk in terms of appreciating wrestling, because it doesn’t any longer.

    Never heard of these two. Google says they’re two Mexican degenerates who spent their whole life in irrelevant indy promotions like TNA and AEW. No idea why is Triple H interested in them. That’s why we need Mr. McMahon back to stop this inclusion bs. Because at this rate we might see a trans Chinese or Arab holding the WWE title!!!!!

    I forgot about “never foams at the mouth when it’s pointed out that he’s made a moron of himself”…

    What your binary little mind is having trouble comprehending is that just because you’re a fan of companies, it doesn’t mean everyone else thinks in the same primitive way. I care about wrestlers, not who they work for. The key word being “wrestlers”. I don’t care about interchangeable acrobats, especially those who put on masks to make themselves even more interchangeable. But yeah, you know better. I make fun of what you like, so I must root for what you don’t. Only two options. Right? Right???
