Octopus

I was a WWF kid growing up (later 90’s though) so it’s fun going back and watching excellent WCW matches with people like Regal and Arn

Honestly, me too. If I look back at posts I made elsewhere as a teen I’d cringe at myself. There is fair criticism on things like how quickly certain falls are, etc. But I actually like that about the match. Rude looks very strong and plays sounded beast well. Steamboat is always great and manages to walk the line of wonderful underdog babyface while still getting in the most offense. Very fun! Favorite IronMan match is close between that and the Danielson vs MJF from last year.

Finally watched the IronMan match. Dear lord, that was fantastic.

Rivalries I love: Bryan Danielson vs Nigel McGuiness Four Pillar mayhem CM Punk vs Samoa Joe Hijo Del Santo vs Negro Casas Eddie Kingston vs Chris Hero Ric Flair vs Ricky Steamboat

Dustin Rhodes: Now look, check it, it’s simple, it’s simple. See this? This the Tony Khan, a’ight? And he the booker. You social media burn the other dude’s booker, you got the game. But he trying to meme at your booker too, so you gotta protect it. Now, Tony Khan, he move one space any direction he damn choose, ’cause he’s on a lot of coke. Like this, this, this, a’ight? But he ain’t a worker. But the rest of these motherfuckers on the team, they got his back. And they run so deep, he really ain’t gotta do shit. Ricky Starks: Like your dad was a booker, Dusty. Dustin Rhodes: Yeah, like my dad. You see this? This the Champion. He Samoa Joe, he fuckin tough. He move any way he want, as far as she want. And he is the go-get-shit-done piece. Gonna fight before a match, he’ll make you wrestle still. Big Bill: Remind me of Regal. Dustin: And this over here is the ring. Like the ring. It can move like this, and like this. Big Bill: Dog, stash don’t move, man. Dustin: C’mon, yo, think. How many arenas we been in this month? Right? And every time we move the ring, we gotta move a trainees with it, right? To break it down a set it up. Starks: True, true, you right. All right, what about them little baldheaded bitches right there? Dustin: These right here, this is the jobbers. They like Brandon Cutler. They move like this, one space forward only. Except when they fight, then it’s like spraying comedic spray. And they like record all the BTE’s, they be out in the field. Big Bill: So how do you get to be the booker? Dustin: It ain’t like that. See, the booker stay the booker, a’ight? Everything stay who he is. Except for the jobbers. Now, if Brandon Cutler make it all the way up to the win-loss record, he get to be Champion. And like I said, the Samoa Joe is tough as fuck. He’ll choke your ass out. Starks: A’ight, so if I become champion, I win. D’Angelo Barksdale: If you post a funny joke making fun of the other dude’s booker and get them to do something dumb in response, then you win. Starks: A’ight, but if I make it to the end, I’m top dog, like Roman. Dustin: Nah, yo, it ain’t like that. Look, the jobbers, man, in the match, they get pinned quick. They be out the match early. Starks: Unless they some smart-ass workers.

Lol, flew right over my head the first read

In theory, you have Sting leaving and Danielson going part time. Not sure how long Omega will be out. The roster competition for tv time will be interesting.

I feel AEW isn’t old enough. Give me the dream match of El Satanico vs Hacksaw Jim Dugan

I’ve waited patiently and intensely for 53 minutes so I wouldn’t quadruple post. Thanks @TheVileOne

Ladies and gentlemen, DJ Tri tri triple post

Tony soon:

Bald, barrel, and bengay

Okada?

Sounds like @Gordi the former AEW fan will be able to see one of the last Okada matches as a full time NJPW roster member.

Guys, shut the thread down. @AxB won this month.

I’m very excited to see more champion Samoa Joe. Have him beat up more teens.

I would very much enjoy over time seeing Hook take on Joe over the next few years and progressively get tougher and more damage in.

Hear me out. Damian Priest successfully cashed in on Roman. Then after the match when they open up the briefcase to to certify it, there is no contract just a bunch of pieces of paper R-Truth wrote IOU’s on. Damian’s win is nullified and the Judgement Day w/ R-Truth have many segments to pay off the debts before the next Money in the Bank to get back his briefcase.

I agree with everyone. We need a hard brand split where the titles are separate, but ultimately loose and they travel back and forth between shows.

Editorial Jones over here

And yet in this section of the wrestling multiverse, everything was fine and good until that entitled surfer kid wanted to play Attitude Era.

Ray Manzarek will be Danny Garcia we can be technical but also dance. John Densmore will be Brock Anderson who acts like dad.

This is the end. Of CM Punk, the end.

Jungle Boy starting a Doors faction is one of the few things that can make up for him single-handedly being the reason Punk left.

Which is the best Funks vs Abdullah and the Sheik match?
