  1. There's an alternative universe where Philo didn't fall out with Gary Moore, Thin Lizzy continue to write and record bangers and Bono never gets the opportunity to push himself as the face of Irish music. Whenever Mastodon play Dublin, their cover of Emerald gets a huge reception.
  2. Goldberg looking like he's been dressed by Willow Pill from this season of Drag Race
  3. Vegan stretch battle between Danielson and ZSJ is the big one for me. Hiromu vs Darby Allin. GoD vs FTR That would be lovely.
  4. I assumed the promo was directed at Fuego with multiple references to fire and the sun, and I'd be happy to see Fuego die for our sins again. As much as I value JB higher than KOR, I think this was the first time they announced Kyle from Vancouver (first time I realised he was Canadian anyway) and that made me think Jack was taking the loss here. Was momentarily confused at the start when Punk walked out the "heel" tunnel before I realised it was just one of the arenas they flip presentation in. As long as I get ZSJ against one of Danielson, Moriarty or Angelico then Forbidden Door will be a massive win for me (would especially love it if Tony could give IDLES a few quid to use "Mother" for Zack).
  5. Two episodes in a row now where Steven has lines specifically referring to how his name should be spelled. I've lived nearly 40 years with people spelling my name Stephen so I finally have a superhero fighting the truly good fight, "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee, my name is Steven with a V"!
  6. Had some spare time yesterday so went to see this. I was entertained. There was a conspicuous lack of "billionaire playboy, Bruce Wayne" which was a nice change, and there wasn't such a reliance on outrageous gadgets either, felt very much like a DIY Batman. There was a link to some YouTuber complaining about lack of jokes a few pages back, but there were certainly a few lines that raised a chuckle and a wry smile from me, particularly Selena asking Batman if he lived in a cave when she mentioned the Riddler going after Bruce Wayne. I was loving the Irish takeover on the villainy side, with Colin Farrell as Penguin, Barry Keoghan (who I have a real soft spot for) as Joker and Peter McDonald (aka Moone Boy's gormless da) as Kenzie. As you'll see from the tweet attached, Irish Joker is canon so maybe the correct answer to how the movie title is pronounced should be De Batman?
  7. Some good stuff in tonight's show, but the standout moment for me was big Butcher strolling out chomping down on a chicken leg.
  8. If you ever find yourself in Estonia, I can recommend the Depeche Mode Bar in Tallin where I spent a night back in 2003 drinking vodka Red bulls listening to non stop Depeche Mode and wondering why what seemed to be the entire Baltic leather scene were all out for a boogie on a Tuesday night.
  9. I always misheard that as Cop County, Georgia so as a kid I automatically assumed Bossman was some form of police officer rather than a prison officer.
  10. Nothing quite shatters the illusion that you're a glamorous cocaine user quite like the feeling of using rolled up Dublin Bus tickets at 4 in the morning because you don't even have a €5 note left
  11. I think a lot of those signs were from some guys from an Arsenal podcast,so I got a chuckle out of them the first time but grew old quickly. Was fun seeing Arsenal twitter talking AEW Dynamite this morning though. Loved seeing Mox look so good, I'm a recovering gambling addict (19 months sober) so have nothing but respect and love for people handling addiction issues and it's genuinely heartwarming to see it acknowledged and not swept under the rug. As much as Pillman does nothing for me,it was good to see his multiple flubs from previous Black match called back. Kings of the Black Throne look great to me, just an incredibly interesting aesthetic. AEW continue to run multiple stories and weave them together in interesting ways (sting & Darby vs acclaimed with Andrade & now Hardy in the wings as an example). It may not always work flawlessly but I appreciate you depth it brings to the product. Everything happening in a vacuum is no fun.
  12. Got to appreciate Caster's instincts for mischief. Between his goofy grin when Mark Henry started "it's time for the main event" to his glee at seeing a sign on the floor outside, knowing he wanted to use it but having no idea how to so settling for putting it on Kingston's head. The opening tag was just what I want at 7am on Saturday morning with my coffee and stollen (it is Christmas week after all). Can't tell what Trent is going for as his face seems to be telling me, "look out! I've snapped! I'm a moody boy now!" but yet he was happy to be in the middle of the hug and didn't swat Yuta away or anything. Jungle Boy has developed some real presence, the boy looked like an absolute star hitting the ring tonight.
  13. My ignorance of the finer points of local US politics showing, but I assumed that guy was just as enamoured with Master Cutler's wonderful stooging and spray work as I am
  14. You're not the only one. Took me out of 5je match a bit as I'm trying to figure out if they want the crowd cheering Lio or not. Enjoyed, "cleaner, I got this" during the first Elite promo. Big smile plastered across my face for the opening segment and match. Danielson so effortlessly turned that crowd on him and Page is just so easy to cheer! Lots of effective promo work (both in ring and backstage) and I think this show really needed it following such a meaty chunk of wrestling that we were served over the weekend. Some intriguing threads laid out now, can't wait to see what comes next.
  15. Just back from seeing this. My main thought was I wanted Barry Keoghan and Lauren Ridloff to have gotten the screen time that Madden and Chan did. I've got a real soft spot for Keoghan, and loved hearing a Dublin accent in a MCU movie. Ridloff's silent scream when Ikaris blasted Druig was heartbreaking.
  16. That was great fun! Was I hearing things, or was "I ain't afraid of no ghosts" changed to "I ain't afraid of no Budge" in the Elite entrance song? If I'm wrong, I don't wanna hear it because I laughed too much at that. They seemed to be planting some seeds for dissension between Omega and Cole in the main between Kenny not tagging Cole and then Cole distracting Kenny to take his place for the camel clutch kisses. PAC dropping into Black's pose was beautiful as was Black's sell of it. Mox is really selling his pissed off state while through the crowd, he shoved a few fans outta his way on the way down then just kicked the guardrail right at another on his way out.
  17. Was I the only one distracted by JDS looking like he was hanging by the pool in his gear? Every time I saw his boots I could only see blue flip flops worn over white sports socks like a German holidaymaker or something.
  18. Ditto for arse. Heard JR drop an "arse" instead of ass on Dynamite this week and couldn't help but smile.
  19. My absolute favourite band of the last 10 years, love them dearly! My username is a riff on one of their songs. Saw Zack come out to Mother in Rev Pro (I think, certainly a UK indie) and the place came unglued as he went absolutely bonkers kicking the ropes and corners along to it. With a fan base like AEW that loves a sing along, I want this to happen so much! PS, how is that Metallica covers project? I've only heard the Idles one so far.
  20. I'd sign him and pay all the money to IDLES so that he can come out to "Mother". Give me all the promos about the calibre of vegan food in a given city and how he is fuelled by tofu and a hatred of the British Conservative party as he goes full bendy boi against Angelico and Garcia and Danielson.
  21. Well that was wonderful! The only downside was that I had to get up at 5:30 to watch it (on replay) before work. Looking forward to Ful Gear being a Sunday morning treat with a Full Irish Breakfast! Ooof! Miro's chest! Hell of match to kick it off, leaves it open for a second round too which I'm well up for. I'm not well versed in Japanese wrestling, but the crowd certainly made Suzuki seem a massive deal. Statlander is a beast in the best possible way. Loved the OC fire. Britt has improved so much in 2 years. Tony calling Callis a piece of shit, then Ex apologising on his behalf and then Tony doubling down was delightful! That match slapped so hard! Kudos to Brandon on the throw, the crowd would have eaten him alive if that went wrong. Punk match was more a moment than a great match, but what a moment it was! I'm maybe of the minority that would have preferred Darby to win (purely down to always wanting the young up and comer to triumph over the vet) but Darby still looks a star anyway, so all good! Skipped Jericho and QT matches to watch later with the 10 man from the pre-show. Woof! That ending! I'm still smiling and just disappointed there was only 23 pages in this thread. I want more! All the opinions, all the content, all the predictions and fantasy booking!
  22. Welcome to the Cutler Cult! He has consistently gotten genuine laughter from me for weeks now without detracting from the main action. I can't believe how much better he is in this role (and I liked his feud with Avalon but this is so much better). Was worried that we were gonna start the show with an in-ring promo which AEW has avoided so far so was happy to see that subverted. Fair play to 2.0 taking their shot and running with it. I get the nostalgia of Sting wrestling on TNT but if they are priming us for Darby v Punk, why not have him seal the win rather than the old dude?? Having said that, they seemed to be steering towards Mox being Punks first interaction, what with him in the main event Friday as well as his promo at the end. Nothing is very obvious at the moment and I'm loving it.
  23. I now want a Jason Mantzoukas Howard the Duck Disney+ series thank you very much
  24. I liked Kenny's Mr Burns line as Christian and JX were leaving "were you singing woahh oh oh oh oh or nooo no no noo?". His deranged heel shtick is great. I had a feeling MJF would ban the Judas Effect so that when he loses to a surreptitious Judas Effect he can still call himself undefeated as he did after losing to Mox. They continue to plant seeds of Max pushing Wardlow too far with his line about losing to Cody (lovely call back) and this is one of the best long term stories they have going. Please please no more of the "oh the adversity I have faced!!!" promos between FTR and PnP, just tell me why they hate each other instead. There has to come a point where someone, anyone doesn't look terrified of 60 year old Sting, doesn't there? That Andrade Chavo promo was messy, Chavo cutting across Andrade all the time followed by Andrade, "I'm the boss", line but then Chavo ignores that ? looking forward to him against PAC though, should be a hell of a match. Maybe AEW aren't a PVP focused company, because the build to All Out is overshadowed by TV shows, which might make sense if the TNT contract is good enough. Good for me because I enjoy my 2 (soon to be 3)hours of AEW on the Fite app.
