  1. Wardlow has also been undercut by aimless booking for over a year now, it's hard to get over that way
  2. I thought it was just some Gen Z hairstyle that goes with dressing like a schlub which seems to be in fashion these days
  3. No arguments about Punk but Cole was out with the same number of injuries and for a similar amount of time. Pretty sure two were in ring injuries and I think the "freak" ankle injury is just him not having strong ankles
  4. I watched a couple of recaps on YouTube and I remember now, I do think that was Cole's best work in AEW even if it seemed like he forgot how to sell. The Revolution match is when he came out in the Halo cosplay and that was my "Oh he has bad instincts" moment
  5. Nick Hausmann has been replaced on Rumor and Innuendo by Dominic DeAngelo from SEScoops. The other host has his own podcast and inferred it was over the Jericho speculation
  6. He's one of those wrestlers, if he works for you he works. I have zero memory of his feud with Page though so if he was doing good stuff there then I may have missed it
  7. I think his matches with OC and Jericho are some of the worst in the company's history. I was already not a fan but I could buy Cole in NXT, everything since he came to AEW seems like a pale imitation. Kind of like Keith Lee, in fact Edit to add: To expand further, his move set was reigned in on NXT and without those limits it's truly random and poorly executed moves for moves sake. His promos are okay but the SNL skits were a terrible idea imo. And I'm a size queen so yes, he's too small now
  8. That's interesting. One of the reasons I stopped watching New Japan is the endless counter and counter-counter sequences that seem to make up the majority of their high spots, they always seem more like a dance than wrestling to me
  9. If you're bringing in Okada and Ospreay and adding them to Joe, Page, Swerve, Copeland, Christian, Danielson, Mox, Jay White, and eventually MJF at the top of the card not to mention your tag scene and rising stars like Takeshita, Starks, and Hobbs, is there even room for Adam Cole anymore? Putting aesthetics aside for the moment, he's been underperforming and injury prone since he debuted. I can't imagine trying to heat him up as a singles wrestler again
  10. I only tweeted at a celebrity once when I was on that app and it was to tell the Rock that the movie Southland Tales was awesome. Also I love bad movies
  11. Conrad Thompson has floated the theory that HHH wanted to undercut Rock’s politicking by booking Cody to win the Rumble to generate fan backlash. Big if true!
  12. There's still a lot of goodwill invested in Sami, he got one of the louder pops when Pearce was running through the possible Chamber participants and his promos lately seem to be leading somewhere. But he hasn't been kept viable enough that people thought he'd beat Orton, and going face/face with a foregone conclusion didn't help that match. Sami's best when fighting from underneath, maybe they're giving him a bit of a losing streak to set up a comeback. Sami/Gunther would be rad if they built it properly
  13. I know they're both knocked off from Succession but someone is going to think they ripped of Roman Reign's theme
  14. Really good episode. Styles/McIntyre is a match I'll always watch, I'm into Bayley's face run, and DIY/British Strong Style should do a best of 7. Orton/Zayn was a little heatless, I hope their going somewhere with Sami
  15. Liver King's real gimmick is being a terrible father so most wrestlers could slot into the role
  16. If they run with Seth/Cody vs Rock/Roman, maybe Rollins can pin Rocky to make up for getting buried throughout this angle
  17. Seth has given the first “That’s not the Vince I knew” of the current roster, while also saying it’s disgusting and he should be punished if the allegations are true. Whether that flies as a defence is up to you, I have the feeling we’ll hear more of that kind of statement in the next few months. Personally, while acknowledging I may be being naive or too generous, I would like to hold space for the idea that a lot of these folks were as shocked as we were and are having just as hard a time processing it if not far worse
  18. I believe Hayes started in 99 replacing someone named Dok Hendrix
  19. I forgot Gary Albright was in there by marriage Edit: A video of Gary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtYNnpNZ_xw&ab_channel=yeelord
  20. As per the press conference, Cody vs Roman is back on plus Hollywood Rock has returned
  21. Good point, rumor is he's there for a while still but we don't really know
  22. I still have the gif of Schiavone mouthing "What the fuck?" during one of Baker's promos on him, it has a million uses. I remember it being a bad promo and they cut away mid-sentence but right after that was Covid and during the Daily's Place matches she really started to improve in and out of the ring. The whole thing with Saraya was weirdly executed though, no idea why Baker kept babyfacing herself in that angle and turning it into the Outcasts thing https://x.com/ehsteveG/status/1220159805689683968?s=20 Looks like AEW is putting together an impressive women's division, we'll see if it gets the time and attention to develop with these new faces or if they will just push the current crop aside for the one timeslot (I know they have more matches during the week but Dynamite is the A-show). Deeb, Statlander, Purazzo, and Storm are all great, add in Mone for star power and all their developing talents and undercard vets and there's a lot of potential there
