  1. That’s fair. In Charlotte’s cases, it ls hard for me not to make assumptions about the kind of person she is after seeing her continue to stiff a clearly concussed Kairi Sane, but I shouldn’t assume.
  2. Yeah, wrestlers complain about looking strong all the time. idk. Maybe. I’m working hard at trying not to be dismissive of the opinion of others. If that’s the case, good for her.
  3. Alexa and Charlotte were always reported to be close. I wonder if that promo Charlotte cut in ring with Alexa did some damage. There were some semi-live rounds in there. I wonder if Alexa would be one of the ones who feels like she doesn’t know Charlotte anymore. Fwiw, Sasha and Lex are friends now, or at least did a bang up job of pretending a bunch of times on upupdowndown. I’m just at a loss to think of anything Charlotte could complain about. She is repeatedly allowed to go out and curtail the momentum of other female stars. Just off the top of my head, this year there’s been Asuka, Rhea, Nikki ASH, Nia, and one or two others. Speaking of Nia, a few months ago I was mocked on here for wondering aloud if there was more to the story behind their tense, shooty match from a couple months ago. Nia is one of the few women Charlotte can’t manhandle and there were multiple moments where both women seemed flat out uninterested in cooperating. This has been going on longer than I think most people realize, and I’m not sure why the higher ups in wwe put up with it when they could fire her tomorrow and not only would ratings stay the same, but they could also build some new female stars.
  4. Time to stomp some Asstros. Hide the trash cans, deny til you die, none of that is gonna help you now. #BattleATL
  5. Damn. Lot of wrong decisions on this show. Superklique gets to make Jungle Boy look like a chump again, because them showing any ass at all would be too tall an order. Cody going over on Malakai seems stupid, too, but at least Malakai ate like 3 shotgun blasts first. I liked the women’s match, and both men’s tourney matches were bangers. It’s just sad that the evp’s are allowed to cast such an insane shadow over everything else that happens on a weekly basis.
  6. It’s possible that I let my dissatisfaction with the product carry over into how I perceive the individual performers. Not Sasha, though. She’s awful. Full stop.
  7. Fwiw, I agree with the sentiment that Charlotte and Becky are ruining the division. I just vehemently disagree with how to fix it.
  8. In Muay Thai you’re taught to fake that kick before spinning to throw a fist or elbow. The idea is you displace the hands so you can have a clearer path. It’s like play action passing only being effective if you have some semblance of a running game. You have to set stuff up.
  9. When I was a kid I just thought that when the babyfaces were running out of the back to make the save, the music guy would see them and play their music. Made sense to me.
  10. Rampage closing the show with 3 squandered nXt champions in the ring wasn't lost on me. HHH was throwing things somewhere during that segment.
  11. On what roster? The roster she’s on now? Lolololololololololololol. Thanks. I needed that.
  12. Every second of that ruled ass. Because the Bucks were onscreen for zero seconds. I figure Cassidy went over so Moxley can obliterate him in the semis.
  13. So you’re telling me you didn’t hear her dogshit promo? I should try that….
  14. I know there were rumblingz that the women’s roster were concerned because Johnny was back and he has some influence over the direction of that division. Who really knows, though…
  15. Sasha Banks is such an abysmal promo. I don’t think I’ve ever heard her come off as anything but forced. Ugh. It’s bad when Charlotte isn’t the worst interview in a given segment. The women’s division is so, so bad right now, and there are a dozen fresh faces they could use to rescue it, but they won’t, because Johnny Ace and Podcast Prichard are fucking clueless.
  16. 22 pitchers (so far) in 25 innings.
  17. Fun fact; my mom and Scott were close when both their families were stationed at Fort Riley, Kansas.
  18. Two nights, two walk-off wins. And your boy was there for both. Hallelujah, holy shit.
  19. Lolololol. The Bucks drop a fall? That would require a desire to help get anyone else in the tag division over. Like tonight. It wasn’t enough to go over on the Dark Order. They had to kill off Luchasaurus & Jungle Boy first. Then, when Jungle Boy came out for his shine, he was left only Cutler to get his shit in on. But y’all be sure to take me through the weekly leaps in logic y’all make to convince yourselves that all that no sell Outsider cosplay smarky bullshit is actually great. Really sullied what was otherwise a great show.
  20. I don't understand why TK wouldn't have pushed harder to bring them in.
  21. I don't think a more severe Napoleon complex has ever infected a man than with Mike Graham. That and his dad telling Dusty that Dusty was his "wrestling son."
  22. @zendragoncareful. You're gonna upset a lot of people pointing out that the Bucks aren't perfect.
  23. Careful. I’ve been told repeatedly that if you’re the young bucks, no choice you make is wrong and your lack of size doesn’t matter because it’s 2021. They can carry themselves like the Steiners because “it’s part of their act” and not a devastating, soaked to the bone lack of self awareness.
  24. He’s signed, just with a deal that allows him to do other shit.
  25. I have some thoughts: There were parts of the opener I liked. We all know how I view the Young Bucks, so all I'll say about that is that when they botched the IndyTaker and whichever of them looked in the camera and said "that's what we do," all I could do was nod and say "yep, that's what you do; fuck up spots because you only know how to work one speed." The Punk promo was good. I wonder if we're beginning to see diminishing returns. Dan Lambert is either an idiot or a genius. Or both. TK needs to pay Paige Van Zant whatever it takes to make the move to full time wrestling. She's a natural. Nothing else stood out to me until that reveal at the end. Adam Page is the future of AEW. I wonder if Mox turns heel and feuds with him after Page beats Omega. Seems logical to me.
