    Taz has been killing it lately. He’s sort of turned into the Tony Romo of their commentary giving some really interesting insight into moves and execution and things like that. He’s always been good, but I feel like he’s hit another level lately.

    God, I hope my boss doesn't ask me why I've been less productive this week at work. "Well, you see, there was a pro wrestling show on Sunday and afterwards, they held a press conference..."

    No, I agree with you on all of that. That's why I think it's a balancing act. You have to forge your own identity, but there's always a point where you need a little extra something, and I'm sure there are plenty of vets backstage at AEW that could help in finding that something. I 100% agree that Hangman has plateaued, if not even done some backsliding. Now, I have no exposure to him pre-AEW, so I can't compare that. He was a guy who I didn't understand why they were pushing him. Then, I came around on him, but he's never hit that next gear, IMO.

    NFL 2022 - WEEK ONE

    Log replied to RIPPA's topic in FOOTBALL

    This gave me the thought of a stage show with Eminem's songs being done Hamilton-style theatrical hip hop and that's hilarious.

    Honestly, other than Punk, and that's just based on things being bad now, I think they've generally made good/great signings. Now, that's not saying they've used everyone to their fullest, but they've been good signings. Like, I don't care for Adam Cole, but I can't say he's a bad signing. He's over as all hell and has a large support. Malakai Black didn't really pan out, but I think that's extenuating circumstances.

    You're right. I'm just suddenly seeing a lot of takes along the lines of "why'd they even sign him?" I think it's being downplayed how big a deal that was last year. I mean, at this point I think the only signings that would move the needle for AEW would be The Rock or Stone Cold in a return to the ring full-time (or somewhat full-time). Maybe Cena, but I don't think he brings all that many wrestling fans with him.

    I think Regal clarified his statement a little later. He just meant that he didn't have a history with Page. I took it to mean that they'd never crossed paths in like NXT or anything like a lot of the guys on the roster.

    I'm really excited for that movie. It's still crazy that, while Dwayne is the bigger star, Batista has the better filmography. He's been in some great flicks.

    And I really do get why maybe the Bucks or Omega wouldn't feel the need to listen to him. Like their style or not, they've all been very successful in pro wrestling doing what they're doing. And they've been able to do it all on their own terms. I think a lot of their appeal to the majority of their fans (and this probably goes for a lot of the AEW roster) is that they don't do things in an old-school way.

    I think really I just prefer having Kahn as the only authority, but having his decisions read by the commentators. Just like when someone challenges someone and they come back from the break and say "Tony Kahn has made it official!"

    I can't think of anyone right off hand, but I was thinking about Jack Tunney recently. I think the reason he worked in the world of 80's WWF was that he was so incredibly bland. You had this world filled with all of these colorful characters, and here's this boring-ass old guy handing down decisions. I think it worked because he never took the focus off the wrestlers. So, I'm not sure who, but they should be boring. Lol.

    That's kind of my opinion on this whole situation. I don't fault Punk for feeling the way he did/does and I don't fault the Bucks and Omega for being pissed. I do fault them all in how they handled it. I actually had to deal with this sort of thing with my daughter all through elementary school. Something would happen to her or a friend that maybe wasn't fair, and she'd lose her shit over it. She wasn't necessarily wrong in how she felt, but she handled it very poorly. Of course, she's 11 now and has learned to control herself. These are grown men we're talking about here.

    I was thinking about the "dismissing criticism" thing. I go back and forth on it. On the one hand, why not take advantage of the minds of people who've been successful in the past when you have them right there? On the other, to really blaze your own trail, sometimes you have to ignore what came before and do your own thing. The answer is probably somewhere in the middle. I don't think it's a great idea to outright dismiss the vets giving you advice, but sometimes you need to say, "Thanks, but I want to do this my way." Will that always work out? No. But if everyone just did what the guys before them did, nothing would ever evolve.

    You know I’ve got nothing but love for you, Natural, but we’re getting into a bit of revisionist history here. Yes, Punk has turned out to be a jerk (or always was, that’s besides my point), but his signing was one of the biggest things to happen in pro wrestling in the last decade, maybe 20 years. The only other thing to generate that much buzz was Vince being ousted. Maybe it’s not working out so great right now, but you can’t deny it was a huge deal for AEW. And I’m not knocking Mox’s signing at all. He’s probably meant more for that company as far as being their heart and soul for sure.

    MJF’s promo wasn’t a shoot. It was on live tv in a planned segment.

    If you're not someone who follows American football, do yourself a favor and Google some images of Raiders' owner Mark Davis. You won't be disappointed.

    They’ve got a ton of guys/gals on the roster that are over. When you’re not trotting out the latest guy you’re trying to shove down the crowd’s throat against their will, they’ll play ball with you. Great show. They handled everything about as well as you could hope. And I’m actually looking forward to see where all the stuff they set up tonight goes.

    There’s a kayfabe issue with Danielson losing to Jericho this past week. No doubt, he will hold the title at some point, but they’ve got to get there a different way.

    I must admit that I've been glued to the gossip all week. I want to look away, but can't. I find it all so fascinating. That said, I'm oddly not worried about AEW. What is it that people always say about their bloated roster? Yeah, I understand Punk would be a big loss from a marketing perspective. But, from my own personal perspective as a fan, he's one guy. He's a guy I liked to see wrestle, but they have a lot of those guys. They are short on guys who bring his star presence or whatever you want to call it, but they've got guys who could get there. My point is (if I have one) that I'm going to keep watching. If AEW suddenly becomes a mess on tv and they're doing run-in finishes to every match and Big Cass is chokeslamming the whole tag division and the whole vibe of the show changes, I might tune out. I don't think that's going to happen. I think this is definitely a "make or break" situation for TK, but I hope he handles it as well as he can.

    I was hoping House of Black would transition into just badass guys who love hard music instead of spooky magic guys. Maybe Brodie can do that now.

    As far as having two of your biggest stars fight for the title, Danielson/Mox would be awesome. Sure, they're teammates, but their team's whole thing is loving to fight. They're not going to let that get between them. Problem is, Danielson just lost to Jericho Sunday. Dear god, please don't do Jericho/Mox again. I just personally don't want Jericho in the title picture. I think TK would see awarding the title as "devaluing" it. I do, personally. There needs to be at least a match for it. But I think we'd all agree, no more interim. Just say Punk is stripped of it or something. Immediately fill it, and then there's no vacancy really. I'd like a mini-tourney. Four guys. Do it all tonight. Two matches lead off the show and the winners face at the end.

    "Oh no, Ms. Parekh, that was all just part of the show!" "But that man BIT one of the other men! I saw it." "They are SO good at making it look real, aren't they? Ha ha, let's just go over here away from the...oh, mind the flying chair! Oh, these guys!"

    I feel like he and Yuta will be SUPER motivated to go out and make people forget all that shit. I have very high expectations for this match. The only downside is that it's a Pure Title match, right? Hopefully the rules don't hamstring them too much.
