Unnatural

Soo at this point, given the landscape backstage, should SRS just name his source(s)? Is there some SRS agenda we don't know about? Just saying all roads seem to point back to this guy, don't they? If the seeds for all the backstage chaos are being planted by this fuck, I'd hope he's held accountable for his reporting and made to explain all his actions Like it basically seems to originate with SRS, is he the same guy saying MJF had a flight booked outta town the same weekend MJF no showed the fanfest? All I'm saying, right, two things can both be absolutely true 1) Punk is a jerk in real life 2) Sapp is just looking to add subs so he takes the click bait shit to a distasteful level

So ok.. Punk got into a fight with the Bucks after the scrum and knocked out one of em? For real!? I know TheNatural posted an audio clip mentioning some confrontation but apologies bud, Meltzer rambles for way too long for me to try and sit there to figure out at what point he discusses any altercation. Having to see this on Twitter discussed without audio clips has me guessing if that actually happened ? Rovert says Nick got ktfo

Yeah, uhm, to better find the wrestler when searching for Ruby Soho (wanting to see how she got the nose broke) be sure to throw AEW or something specific into the search bar too because uhhh. W?W!

Didn't they just say he finished filming for Twisted Metal and could be returning soon Him, and Miro I think is the other guy, just wrapped filming some tv/streaming stuff like in the last 3 months as best as my shitty memory might recall? Who's got the updated injury list? Wasn't Mercedes out with the UE guys and couple others. I thinking that's why the ROH Women's champ has also been offscreen? Forgive my shitty memory, just clocked out 1/2 hour ago

Okay wait. Did Saraya finally pop up for AEW? I remember that big deal made about her contract expiring months ago and she had big plans for a wrestling return after getting cleared to wrestle (or something) I'm still catching up on the media scrum clips but FUCK! Saraya/Paige coming back is big time shit! /s Lmao

Fucking JR lmao, he's reaching Cornette levels for me personally in terms of "mute anything that he has to say and just move on"

A) How much of that profit was them cutting performers with big money contracts? Braun, Wyatt and I'm almost sure a bunch others released last year would like to say hi, I'm sure B) Financial security? The Good Brothers and Allison Danger say hi. Along with how many roster cuts from 2021 there were. Not to mention that NXT 2.0 iirc was doing that 90 day trial wasn't it? Isn't that why parker lesnar jr. got released (can't remember the guy's name for shit beyond folks think he looks like Lesnar facially*) Ok side rant because Greggulator is a great guy and I don't wanna make this post come off like I'm wholly disagreeing, just partially. *Is Will Ospreay the son of Xpac? For real! Between Adam Cole looking like a shorter HBK and Ospreay looking like a more muscled Xpac, I'm wondering if the partying days of the 90s is giving us the offspring of some of those guys (lunch rambling so excuse the shitty train of thought/shitty grammar)

Reminds me of the one dude that bitched about AEW not having intro video packages for the wrestlers walking through the forbidden door months back ? Like YouTube doesn't have highlights clips and montages of just about every wrestler on the indie/international scene ? Because sure, tiktok and Twitter won't have those clips for you either so how dare AEW foil someone's introduction to the product Just saying, remember that time Nexus popped up? The Shield? Any number of invading factions/wrestlers out for revenge or just looking to put their stamp on the territory. Now imagine the same "boohoo! Who are these guys and why should I care about them?" Wrestling used to be awesome with someone walking through the curtain being unknown to the viewers but being treated with respect and sometimes reverence by the announcers. Instead we got "who's this Suzuki dude? Why should I be awed by Ishii?" And etc with this Ace Steele shit lmao This is a pretty good thread about the whininess

Do we know which event was the first to have a "BORING" chant bust out during a match? Or what city it would have been in? Was just talking with my cousins about wrestlemania crowds hijacking Raws with stupid ass chants or that one beach ball that Claudio ripped apart with his bare hands Which got me thinking, can that behavior be traced back to one event/city/promotion And I don't mean shit like fans trying to attack wrestlers or getting riots going, I mean if your character drives the fans to that level of investment that they feel like they gotta go for you to avenge their favorites, yknow that's just another day at the office maybe? But I'm more curious about when fans got it in their heads to make the event about getting themselves or their shitty ass chants over

Catching recaps for now, won't get to see til the weekend maybe but by far this shit has me hooked to catch a replay now! Just needs Rollins adding that "and we allllll know why" imho to take this even more next level

Fucking rich

How is ordering off Ringside Collectibles? Say like aew unrivaled wave xx is in stock or whatever, from ordering to delivery how long do they normally take (assuming I go with the free shipping for orders over $60)? Just got the Best Friends wave off ebay, and since I'm stuck out in the boonies I almost never see anything in store locally and was looking to get the Dark Order wave and whichever wave it was that had Team Taz and Kingston in it. Figured I'd ask about your experiences with RC recently, see if I should try someone else or go with them

So.... mox vs hangman at all out with punk/mjf teaming as a nu faction? https://twitter.com/jessithebuckeye/status/1562611753921310721?t=GWvixP7dpFfv92EJLf7vrw&s=19 /s

Who's the one came out saying MJF had booked his flight out before the PPV with Wardlow? And then MJF showed up anyway and lost Can't remember the dude but this has that same feel to it, drumming up intrigue backstage to work the marks into tuning in dying to see how everything plays out only for things to seemingly go down about the way they were supposed to Some kinda wannabe reverse psychology to draw in the smarks, but for a new era? Need to read up and go back through the threads but I feel like I've been here seen this already with AEW Is Cody leaving? Is punk coming in? Did max caster get fired? Oh caster is following wwe accounts now! Is mjf working everyone? I dunno, all my opinion ?

It's a work, imo, in that it's getting the online fans, the ones who follow their faves on social media and engage in online discussions, to talk this up and hype up the intrigue of next week's outcome So, working the fans with reports of backstage drama a week in advance to possibly hype up a title match even more than it would be hyped on its own two feet Aka the Charlotte/Becky drama with the belts before the BIG TITLE MATCH where on their media interviews they kept saying they weren't sure if the other would be unprofessional in the ring and if things might end up getting out of hand, but hey be sure to tune in and watch us settle it, in the ring! *may not have been Becky and Charlotte exactly but it was two of the women,albeit before summerslam last year? Fuck my memory, I barely watch anymore since the backstage stuff is usually more intriguing, so I could be off on the timeline and which two women it involved

So I'm watching The Offer from HBO, and the dude they cast for Al Pacino had this lisp that was bugging me forever because I couldn't remember who he sounded like. Then I stumbled into a Danhausen promo with the Ass Boys in the AEW section, and it hit me! Young Pacino sounded like Danhausen! Which had me fantasy casting Danhausen in the Michael Corleone role in place of Pacino, and now I wish deepfake technology was up to the highest standards so I could recast Danhausen with all his tics and mannerisms in the Michael role! Danhausen Corleone cursing the crooked cop at the hospital, cursing Fredo and everyone out to backstab him! Fuck! I need this about as bad as I need OC vs Yano NHB match in Zona 23

Banshee was the one sleeper hit I kept telling everyone about in my local group of friends/family for the longest time. I described it as that one fight scene from They Live but with modern MMA fighting techniques that was more mob fights than T&A fan service. Where Spartacus leaned more towards T&A than actual fights, imho, Banshee was the opposite. There's no damsels in distress. There's no white knights in shiny armor showing up to save the day. Its all anti heroes getting torn the fuck up episode after episode. The one dude reminded me of Goro from Mortal Kombat with his height and voice. Fuck just needed two more arms and he'd have been a living breathing Goro if you ask me. Banshee and maybe The Wire are tied for my desert island guilty pleasures for what I'd watch if I'm stranded there for some time, or however that shit goes.

So this is what, 6 years old already? Still cracks me the fuck up every fucking time!

I'd guess you're not the only one, I mean WWE hasn't been the only option on TV for a while now Between the tubes and subscription streaming services, there's sooo much good stuff out there to watch nowadays that hoping one brand or product improves is almost not even on my radar, speaking for myself When Walking Dead fell off a cliff, I just found something else to replace it. Years later I don't give one fuck I'd the show or its spinoffs pick up the writing and the story, I've already moved on Ditto just about any other media like your GoT or Star Wars or MCU tie ins. Something loses its way, writers suck etc, fuck it I go on and find something else to get absorbed it and don't really hope for whatever I lost interest in to pick up. Cause if it gets better and I wanna dive back in, I'll probably have to refresh myself with hours of waste just to catch up and then it'll simply remind me why I tuned out in the 1st place But that's just me. Stopped giving a fuck about the Spurs damn near 10 years back and while lots of diehard Spurs fans buddies keep hoping that this season they'll climb back up, im more "bleh" about getting reinvested in them and any playoffs hopes

"nobody cares about Naomi"

Do you have a bucket list of wrestling venues/arenas you'd love to visit? Or just your favorites that you've already been to? Freeman Coliseum holds a special place in my heart for sentimental reasons. Saw lots of wwf events there in the 80s, last one was when Sherri was managing HBK, around that time frame Would love to make it to Japan and Mexico, see some of the historic arenas one day. Ecw fan in me would like to see the "ecw arena" just to say I'd been there once. Ditto MSG for my inner early 80s wwf fan

Damn, another one. RIP

Priceless

Damn

Just sitting down to watch Phantasm for the 1st time, and I've got a genuine question The guy who plays thr best friend of thr older brother, Reggie i think is the best friend.. Is that Hank from Breaking Bad? Maybe not the right name, but I'm thinking of Walts brother-in-law that was a cop? no fucking way same guy from Phantasm, the ice cream dude, is the cop brother in law, is it?
