So Twitch is people paying to watch other people do good at video games? Is that correct?
To each their own and whatnot, but if this is a thing (and I suspect it very well may be) is it really a wonder that the children born today will probably not have functioning civilization or a planet to live on by the time they would be our age?
I mean there is obviously million times worse stuff going on everywhere and that is hardly malignant in comparison, but I'm obviously well on my way to becoming even more obsolete than I already am, if this is the shit people get around to, in 2020.
It's good that there are still ways to make a living these days, but I'm just amazed that this is a service someone would be willing to pay money for, especially considering all the services people seem very unwilling to pay anything for!
Anyway, sorry for getting sidetracked, show seems like it is moving in the right direction. The roster starts to be really stacked as people have already mentioned. Do carry on.

You can die from alcohol withdrawal. Trust me.
Yeah ALCOHOL was the one everyone agreed on, so far (I think?) There has been confusion over the deadliness of different kinds of (other) drug withdrawals.

I agree with this, but the only downside is that wrestlers need to do a better job improvising when unplanned finishes happen, because they usually come off very awkward and obviously like a botch off some sort. That Emma win that was mentioned, iirc, was a prime example of that.
Yeah, that was super awkward. Emma sort of celebrated and then Charlotte attacked her and put the Natural Selection on her to get her heat back, even though she wasn't even involved in the decision. It came off really weird and botchy.

Anyone know @cwoy2j's favorite delayed Hebner count?
I don't believe this has ever come up in a conversation, even once! ...I could be wrong, of course.

@Bryan there’s literally no one on here who is praising or defending the aew’s women’s division.
No reason to get angry about it though.
Yeah, and it was no more than a few days ago (week, whatever ) that there were more than one heartfelt plea for more civil conduct amongst the posters, since there is more than enough bad behaviour and negativity IRL and outside this board.
I have a hard time believing we have all forgotten about that already, surely we have not?
Now negative things deserve negative or harsh reactions, but let's not let that mean we need to lash out at each other, right?
Not my beef, but just pointing this out, as if it needs more pointing out.

They have loosened up on the tag rope. They usually still do the shoulders completely on the mat. I wouldn't be shocked if accidental wins and losses happened in NXT as well.
Emma won a 4-way match on NXT that Charlotte was supposed to win, because someone didn't kick out for whatever reason.

If WCW really wanted Rude as the Black Scorpion, it could have been possible at least in theory, since Rude left WWFsometime before Survivor Series and Starrcade was in late December. They would have to bring him in the minute he became available, but they could have pulled it off. Really interesting idea. I wonder if Luger never wins the world title in '91, if Rude is already there to step in as the top heel, when Flair is fired? A topic for the What If thread, I guess?

Maybe they were trying to be on the safe side legally, so that the producers of Pringles don't get pissed off at them for showing their product in a negative light and demand compensation? Or, maybe even those shitty Pringles looked like a treasure for young starving Ilja and they were trying underline that notion? He did say that it was the first glimpse of the fact, that there could actually be something better than he was experiencing at that point.
I don't think Pringles is one of their current sponsors, are they? They weren't just promoting the hell out of them because of that? "Pringles, so good that even eaten from a dumpster, they still taste like heaven!"
To be honest, I have no idea why that was, or why it was necessary to show Pringles at that point, as if people didn't know what he was talking about if they didn't? Apparently, someone did think it was a good idea, however.

Yeah Nash could care less what Vince or anyone thinks about now at this point of his life. One of the things that makes him so cool on Twitter unless you are MAGA guy.
The problem with Foley is that he is made strong stances before and they backed off almost immediately when he realizes that it doesn't help him or his family cause. Given that I think his son still works for the WWE in some way I doubt this opinion will last long.
Absolutely true on Foley. Especially, considering Dewey. Nash would probably just laugh straight to their faces so hard he'd tear a quad, but not back down.
You'd think Foley is pretty much as set as Nash is at this point, but he has to think about his son's career, too.

Foley and Nash are gonna find the line where guys start getting booted from the Hall of Fame, aren't they?
Wouldn't surprise me! Foley would probably be really bummed out about that, but Nash I don't see giving a single solitary fuck about losing his HOF status over this.

You missed one hell of a friendship defining hug, that’s for sure.
Fortunately, I scrolled back enough to catch that, but I was away when that, and everything leading up to that happened. Very glad that things worked out and hugs were shared. That's the way to go!

Maybe he'll just up and die one of these days. He's 75 and his dad died at 69, so who knows.
I am aware that there is a thing about not wishing death upon other people, but when I say that in order for things to change even a little bit for the better, Vince needs to die, I really stress the NEED part. Of natural causes and old age, obviously, but it needs to happen.
Just watch this being the first time it doesn't happen, ever. Just because.

I suppose this goes without saying, and I'm being quite the captain obvious here, but I'll say it anyway. If Vince would ever get duly cracked down on his shady practices and forced to do right by his work force, THAT would be the time he'd say "I don't like this anymore" and sell the company ( if there was a company to sell, or any takers for that matter) rather than make the necessary changes.
Kind of like in Bojack Horseman, when the people in power were facing the options of having women carry handguns in order to feel safe, abolish guns altoghther or make legislation that helps women feel more safe without having to carry guns, they chose abolishing guns altogether. Because they just flat out refused to do right by women, so much that they didn't even consider that an option.
Same with Vince, most assuredly.

Someone get Dr Shelbey on the phone!
Great idea! And while you're at it, tell him to make a pitstop at the Garganos' house when Tegan Nox is coming for dinner, because I have a feeling his services are going to be needed badly over there, also! I'd call him myself, but I have no idea how to get in touch with him, so no go.

It’s so close to perfect but the WWE is jarring. The IWGP just tips it as best looking belt in current circulation
IWGP belts have been glorious since that one that got kinda ruined by Brock from the get go. That was another one that I was in awe of since the first pic showed up. They may have only improved since then, but when it first showed up it was so next level that it was hard to imagine anything else living up to that.

The talk about self-doubt and finding his confidence and relearning how to trust his instincts is low key amazing and shows how fucked up working in the machine you can get. We all noticed that increase in Brodie's presence and belief in his presentation over the past two or so months and now we know why.
Damn. Also, yes.
Awesome article and thank you for sharing. It's great to hear that he's found himself and he's unleashed to maximize his potential even at the age of 40.
I felt so bad for him, when all he wanted to do was work and show what he can do and they weren't using him even on house shows. He had that insane match with Dijakovic on World Collide and still, nothing. I'm very selfish in not wanting guys to leave WWE, because I want to keep on seeing them, but I was so happy to see him GTFO and just get a chance to do what he was literally begging to do. Let alone this level of rebirth! Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside (I mean the coffee helps, too, but still)!
Not filing for Dark Order membership just yet, but I can see the are an altruistic bunch, despite the rather misleading name. May I suggest something less gloomy? Then we'll talk.

So, I take it nothing important or interesting happened while I was sleeping?
*looks around*
How long was I out for F's sakes?

I just watched the match and enjoyed the crap out of it! Wonderful stuff! Glad they got the chance to do that before Holland moved over to the States.

The Rock's family first became aware that they were symptomatic around dinner time.
They all suddenly realized that they couldn't smell what the Rock was cookin'. </dadjoke>
For real, though, I hope they all get over it without incident. Nash, too.
Sure, we are all hoping they will have no long-lasting effects from the infection, but that WAS a good joke!

Apparently there is a WALTER vs Ridge Holland match on this weeks NXT UK episode, just a heads up! I'll get around to it in a little bit.

I think I saw that and that description is indeed incredibly accurate.
All the time while watching it you are all like " are you sure it's not still early enough to just hug it out and apologize? Oh, no, they're going at it! Please be careful!"

AEW Dynamite - 9/9/2020
in ALL ELITE WRESTLING
Posted
So this is what it feels like when people think you are someone who was on the board with a different name. I was Midnight Express Fan on Wrestling Classics and some Finnish wrestling board, but that was a decade and a half ago.
As far as DJ's go, radio hasn't been my thing because I like to choose what I listen to, but I do get that the question was rhetorical.
Tying this back to wrestling, I wonder if they still even have room for PAC once he's able to return, with this amount of high end talent on the roster? I'm concerned, since he has been one of my absolute favorites since like 2014.
