As I said during the first show, Terminus really needs to start casually dropping hints that all their matches are on a giant pro wrestling themed space station called The Terminus™. Then when you callously shoot fire people in front of a live audience you can do Among Us jokes about it!

I guess Jordynne's saying he was not shoot fired? I’d hope not. To do that on PPV would be insanely cruel and give them even more of a bad rep. The ref is probably new and shouldn’t have gotten that match, but the blame should lie on the promoter rather than the ref for that one given the high stakes surrounding the main event. Also, this is the same Jordynne that said “that was wild lmao” a when quoting someone saying the ref was fired, which feels… really weird. Definitely lowered my respect for her. EDIT: Tweets are deleted but someone has a screenshot.

Thinking about Jon Gresham running Terminus like Gordon Ramsay going YOU YOU AND YOU f*** OFF to ppl in public is killing me

See, the first tweet I thought "Damn, people thought that was a shoot? Crazy, people can get worked"
The second tweet...so now she's saying it wasn't a work? Or was it a botch? I didn't actually watch so I have no real context but still.

Well, sounds like Terminus is being Terminated after last night.
Shame, was hoping for someplace new and unique for people to work at.

Another one for the “no seriously, unless you have oodles of money and time to piss away, why on EARTH would you want to start a wrestling company???” file.
The shit’s hard and seems like a thankless job

The shit’s hard and seems like a thankless job I don't blame Super Dragon for resisting making PWG bigger than it is. I know he's apparently cited wanting the right atmosphere, but I'd just as quickly assume it was a case of, "I know how to run it like this, and if we get any bigger, this is going to get a lot f***ing harder."

Doesn't sound like Terminus got near the hype or traction as Gresham was hoping. Pity as first show was very enjoyable and the feedback from last night seemed more positive than negative. Of course there's all sorts of speculation but 9 times out of 10 it comes down to the mighty dollar. Production value seemed way down from the first show.

Yeah from the little I've heard he thought he'd get a lot of people following from ROH to watch the show. Unfortunately ROH isn't what it was a couple years ago and they've been running out of Baltimore while TERMINUS was Georgia. And Gresham didn't do a good job of hyping what TERMINUS would be or the different rules/why

Two shows in and they're already firing people?
Unless it was Marty Jannetty, then I'll call that a fail.

I knew Terminus was f***ed when the first show was full of "Unlike THESE people, WE do THIS, cause we're THE BEST" and the show was a f***ing mess. Second show did nothing to address those problems, and only served to make things worse, especially with this sudden Referee controversy
Is there a source on it officially shutting down after two shows? If so, man, everyone involved looks like shit, and Gresham definitely flamed out momentum wise, I guess they found out really f***ing quick that a whole show based around PURE rules but also not really isn't exactly gonna set the world on fire, even in this day and age with the alternative scene booming. Maybe that's why he was backstage at AEW recently, cause I have to imagine a new wrestling company faceplanting out the gate turned into a money sink real fast, especially when Ring of Honor is still up in the air. The production from show one to show two really showed a significant crater...

I made this thread, and I'm tapping out after this show. Uncompelling, soulless and self-indulgent product. Here's the ending for anyone curious: I take back every negative thing I've ever said about WWE and AEW refs. Wow.
