Are they really that bad? I don't exactly wander Bungie's boards or reddit outside of matchmaking. Usually if I hear about noise making its seems to be about the high level PvP crowd. Where is Datto in these crowds? I'm kind of curious since I know he has a hatred of Gambit that amuses me. I actually like Osiris and would be disappointed to see him go. Vance's death would be celebrated too much. Its why they never will do it. I assumed Jaime Chung not being the easiest to get is why they haven't used Ana too much. Its disappointing since I like her. She seems like a natural to take over for Cayde seeing that she has a similar brazen attitude to get shit done. Who is Shiro-4? I didn't play near as much D1 so I'm guessing his big moments were in that?

I honestly wish they weren't doing a Strong/Dream rematch in general. The two don't work all that well together and I was ready for Dream to move on to Cole. The cage stip doesn't feel necessary. 1-2 vs. ReDragon should be good. Looking forward to Kai/Nox.

Its my first memory of Truth since I watched very little TNA.

I dug the finale though the big "changes everything" reveal means little to me since I'm super intimate with the background of the Timelords having only watched modern Who. Honestly, it felt like an unnecessary waste of Gallifrey. Dug the end with the Doc in prison. Will be interesting to see if we get new companions next season. I actually like the current crew fine, but I wouldn't mind them being moved on. Feels like it was already starting anyways. I saw New Year's mentioned online. Still a long time to wait with how many episodes we get so I agree that they could/should lessen the standalone episodes to a third or less if they wanna go this big.

I do. Its been fun. Going to miss it.

The best chance of AEW working with any women in Stardom (beyond the gaijin) is actually forming a working agreement with Stardom. I don't see any of them leaving with Bushiroad money backing them. They were already paid decently well by Rossy Ogawa even before the buyout so they either have to feel incredibly unfulfilled or really want to work in America. Hana doesn't have that strong desire (she already mentioned having no WWE aspirations despite being a fan), and Kyona seems like a lifer. If Kairi leaves WWE it will be to go back to Japan so Stardom is more likely then anything assuming she doesn't want to start a family now that she is married. I thought I recall something about Hayter and Bea working AEW this month so they aren't gone yet and have only gotten better the past 6 months in Stardom. They are a particularly nice tag team. Deonna is supposed to be a good-great mat wrestler/grappler type like Madison Eagles. She just happens to also have little personality and charisma. She was only just building her rep in the indies when WWE picked her up. it was a mistake for her to join then because its likely WWE only saw her as a solid hand based off of her previous work with them. She should have stayed on the indies and continued to build her rep up. She just started to get onto US NXT tv this year though so I wouldn't expect her to want to jump quite yet.

I just hope they are actually new areas and not the same old. I still don't get the point of Grandmaster Nightfalls.

Plenty of people post pics with zero context and explanation. Its up to us to ask if we don't know what they are about. Honestly, since Stardom is the promotion I watch the most outside of WWE I actually get around half the pics and gifs he posts since many are from there.

Uhm, more than him were fine with Goldberg winning the belt. Liking that doesn't make him contrarian so not the best example. Not saying you are wrong, but sometimes people just have different tastes.

Mara, Petra...... Alright who is the third?

Or he may actually like the robot spider. Just because you think its dumb doesn't mean he does or can't enjoy it.

The story part of this could be nice.

Barrett was over the top, but that was kind of was how he was in general during the early parts, especially with how he viewed and handled Cloud. Honestly, when he went off into that speech about Shinra I actually thought he was just a bit too toned down.

Moss is perfectly fine. Its just, as you mentioned, stupid to job Ricochet clean to the guy as Moss's ceiling is basically the 24/7 belt and as a tag wrestler. To be jobbed out like that and the recent Lesnar match from my understanding it just seems like something that would only happen if someone like Ricochet was asking for release or not re-signing. Beyond that though I actually disagree about Ricochet being can't miss, especially as face of the company. As much as the main roster hasn't done him many favors Ricochet has kind of sucked bad whenever given the mic, and that seems to have little to do with WWE lines. I think that has hurt him a decent amount. The Spider was dumb, but then again the whole cage thing was dumb. There was no good way out of of that unless they were willing to let Rowan handle a real animal which they were not. As dumb as it was I don't really think its something to get so angry about, especially since it was a minor mid card angle.

This reminds me that Natsu sells shirts with pervert scum on them.

Profits vs. Murphy/Rollins and Rey/Humebrto vs. Almas/Garza were both quite good. After tonight I'm assuming Ricochet is not planning to stick around. Rowan revealing a big ass spider as his pet was ok I guess. Black vs. the OC did nothing for me. Liv/Ruby with Sarah as the ref was a nice idea, but none of those poor women are over enough to make that segment/match work. Kairi/Shayna was decent enough, but the crowd could not be bothered to give a damn. The final segment with Beth and Randy was good though it probably should have ended after the RKO instead of going to the commentary team to reflect and whatnot.

Finished Lost in Space S2 and Altered Carbon S2 this past week. Thought Lost in Space was better than S1 and ended in an interesting enough space. Altered Carbon was good, especially dug Poe's story on the side.

Finally saw Knives Out this past weekend. I thoroughly enjoyed it and am ready for more.

The voice acting felt fine for the most part though it did feel like Cloud was off a bit. Not sure how much that was the acting itself or the script.

Nah, neither women's match felt super organic. Charlotte & Sasha kind of ran a gambit of firsts in just to have them. Becky/Sasha did come close, but the very fact that we knew a ppv called HIAC was coming screwed with the organic feel. That is what makes the whole thing annoying.

Didn't Matt really only return to WWE for Jeff anyways? Kind of figure he would have stayed on the indies otherwise.

The only gimmick ppvs I'm fine with are Royal Rumble, Survivor Series, & MITB. Always hated when they flat out named the ppvs after matches and made it obvious as hell what was coming. With Elimination Chamber I'm semi-mixed. They introduced a decent enough idea of it being a decider for the other brand's no. 1 contender, but it feels like way too brutal and personal a match type to use for that. I'd rather they just use a small tournament or normal multi-person match. Honestly, this is probably where KOTR should be used.

That isn't going to happen and you are being overly paranoid.

Yeah there were promos for Lacey and Sheamus talking about entering the Chamber two weeks ago, but plans clearly changed when they announced the tag titles match.

Eh the Hardys came in as themselves. Their hot gimmick was not available to due to legal battles with TNA. When they finally got back said gimmick WWE used it. It mostly died because Matt needed to heal from inuries.
