We've been bingeing it lately. It's a fun show. I don't think I've seen too much of Selena Gomez, but she seems like a poor actor here, all unexpressive and monotone. That might just be how she's playing the character, because I assume coming from the Disney TV sitcom world (I think?) she'd have to have been bouncy and peppy before.
I found the episode in question a bit too gimmicky tbh. I'm glad someone is trying something different, but I guess I found it a bit too goofy to have silence in scenes where the deaf character wasn't present at all.

Thank god. I don't want her hopping around the ring and pooping everywhere. Though that may get over in some circles.
Now that Plane Ride From Hell has aired and we're all understanding all things misogynistic and whatnot, hey, maybe we can go after gendered insults next. Unless he's complimenting Cage for being flexible, able to take a pounding, and good at giving life to the world.
Maybe Cage has taken over Allie Kat's gimmick and Buddy is just breaking the news to us?

Actually, in terms of awful name paired with even worse gimmick, it's hard to overlook Kerwin White.

Oney Lorcan is definitely a crap name. If you've got a gimmick name that's not immediately obvious how to pronounce, you've come up with a bad name. I can't be the only one who referred to him and fellow black trunks, slaphead Burch as Oney and Twoey, right?

Having MJF do a heel promo in the ring, being cut off by Pillman who just brawls, and then cutting to an 'Earlier in the day' backstage sitdown with Pillman was a smart move. Like it was nice that he got to talk in front of the people in Cincy, but he's not really ready to be doing that regularly. He needs a catchphrase to lean on, or something.
Pillman had a line in there like (paraphrasing) "Don't be fooled by my nice clothes and how I clean up well, I'm still feral" I'm totally out of the loop if an obscene mullet and tiger print clothes are an example of "spruced up". Maybe in Cincinnati?

3. Weird rope dreadlocks.
When we were kids, my brother dressed as Ruud Gullit for a fancy dress party with coal used to blacken his face and my ma's tights cut up and twisted to resemble dreadlocks. Finn's headdress always reminds me of that and looks just slightly less cheap.

Someone mentioned it earlier but their Disney Channel high school bully level fake laughter is awful. Definitely needs to be a better fitting team in that spot.

I don't think there are any heels better on the mic than MJF right now.
Dan Lambert, not kidding. He could maybe slow his delivery down a bit but like all good heel promos there's a kernel of truth in what he says and he gets the crowd so riled up, it's great.
MJF... I don't know if it's the Rosie O'Donnell thing or the song and dance with Jericho thing clouding my feelings, but he comes across to me as a musical theatre kinda guy trying desperately to be tough. Does he have a background in theatre, I've no idea.

This was on the inaugural WWA PPV, "Inception", from October 2001. You may be surprised to learn that WWA held 5 (FIVE!) PPV events.
And that PPV included a dark women's match called "Skin to Win"
Anyway, the entirety of WWA's run - https://www.cagematch.net/?id=8&nr=37&page=8

If we were in different times, I think we'd quite likely see some of touring promotion emerge to do Europe and Australia etc, especially given that AEW doesn't seem that interested in running much of a house show schedule. Obv. we will have to see what happens....
Now that you mention it, that's a good idea. After WCW died, there was a group calling themselves World Wrestling Allstars doing that kind of thing. You don't need to have TV or do storylines for that. Just put on shows as an attraction. Hire Strowman to headline, have some other TV names underneath and then get local guys to work the undercard.
Out of curiosity, I looked up the WWA show I went to. I don't think I remember a single thing about this show apart from Midajah
If you'd asked me if I'd ever seen Sting or Luger or Sabu wrestle in person I would've answered "no" five minutes ago.
(28.11.2002) WWA - Event @ RDS Arena in Dublin, Ireland
Shark Boy defeats Nate Webb
Konnan defeats Norman Smiley
Frankie Kazarian & Nathan Jones defeat Disco Inferno & Johnny Swinger
Hardcore Match (Special Referee: Midajah): Teo defeats Puppet
Mike Sanders defeats Joe E. Legend
Triple Threat: Sabu defeats Perry Saturn and Simon Diamond
Lex Luger & Sting defeat Buff Bagwell & Malice

That's Devitt in the background of the Tanahashi/HBK pic right?

On the one hand, I'm excited to see him back in the Premier League. But on the other hand... it's Man U. I guess there was always a high probability of him landing back there given the history.

Adventureland - The hardest thing to buy about this movie is the notion of Jesse Eisenberg's character being a virgin
I've never actually thought about this before but I could totally buy his character being a virgin in literally every thing I've seen him in.

I caught about 10 minutes of this (the Miz/Morrison stuff) and immediately remembered why I can't stand WWE's presentation anymore AEW has spoiled me in its simplicity.
Check out the amount of zoom/cut/zoom/zoom/cut/cut/cut/zoom nonsense when Miz attacks him at 2:05 in the video. IK know we all know they do this all the time, but seeing it with refreshed eyes brought home again how mind numbing I find it all.

In regards to the talk about needle movers... hmmm, I wonder if we have another lurker...
Nah, it was only brought up on the forum because Roman Reigns said it about Punk, which is presumably what Chavo is talking about.

If Daniel Bryan uses "Ride of the Valkyries" by Robert Wagner in his eventual AEW debut, that technically would be the same as his last WWE theme.
If Daniel Bryan uses a musical composition by Robert Wagner then the pop may not be quite as big as expected.

They've been playing up the Darby Allin line about being best in the world, but I don't think he's publicly booked for this show right? Everyone assumed that would be where Punk comes in, but have they now moved Moxley to that spot? Or is Moxley referencing someone else and we get two debuts tonight? Open with Allin coming out to be interrupted by Punk, the crowd settles down thinking they've got their surprise comeback, then Danielson shows up later to face down Moxley when nobody's expecting it.

Please enjoy this thread of the Irish absolutely roasting peoples' clothes.
Yeah Ireland can be unforgiving sometimes.
Back in my schooldays, we had a young teacher who wore a poncho once and was met with Morricone whistling in the hallways.

It's interesting how Vince/WWE always immediately get the blame for everything.
"The Kabuki Warriors? Good old racist Vince/WWE" "Oh, the wrestlers chose it themselves? Nevermind"
"Breaking up the Iiconics? Idiotic Vince/WWE" "Oh, Peyton Royce requested it? Nevermind"
There's probably a ton more instances, but I haven't been paying much attention to wrestling for a few years. This isn't a defence of them either. I haven't watched WWE in years. It's incredibly dull to me, and one of the many breath of fresh airs that AEW provides is not having Vince's brand of puerile humour all over it. They do deserve a lot of flack, but I also think they get a bad rap sometimes when not always deserved.
