CHEESEBURGER
The man deserves to be quoted in large font again. Loved his match, including the full Johnny Saint leapfrog spot. Anyone who watches World of Sport for inspiration is good with me.

I know this should probably go in the indie thread, but if you can find a copy of the DEFY show that aired on Pluto TV live tonight watch it. Moxley vs Tom Lawlor was a beautiful blood soaked brawl.
JFC you weren't kidding. Everytime Mox put the bulldog choke on I saw ARTERIAL SPURTING. Lawlor saw how Yuta bladed and said hold my beer.

Got my tickets for opening night Thursday next week here in the UK. Imax 3D so I may need new eyeballs and will suffer ptsd from the surround sound. But Wanda in 3D I won't mind so much.

Agreed with whoever said Deeb could do with her very own Paul Heyman. To me, she is the best WRESTLER in the women's division, thus she should go over Thunder. But that is unlikely to happen because unfortunately it's mostly appreciative crickets when she's out there. With the right mouthpiece though she could be the female Bret.

Oh my God, we're going to get FTR+Punk vs BCC at some point aren't we? Maybe I wasn't so evil in a past life after all.

Just working my way through Dark and I need to have a gripe for once.
Why is Statlander's entire presentation different without any reference to it? Her music, where she hails from, her finisher name all different and for seemingly no reason. This is the sort of thing that should set AEW apart from WWE, taking the time to show the development of the character changes. Otherwise you may as well just call her Gunther and never mention it again.
Same goes for Julia Hart, shit or get off the pot Tony, hurry up already at least do something. All we've had is her bruise is getting bigger.
Why are Red Velvet and to a lesser degree Kiera Hogan now baddies? Velvet had some hard fought babyface battles against her and now that's it, again no explanation? I know there's a lot to fit in, but a 30 second promo would suffice.

So you know how CM Punk is doing a whole Bret Hart tribute thing nowadays? Well, remember how the Hart Foundation started in 1997? Bret came to the ring and interrupted a match between Owen and Davey, which had gotten out of hand and turned into more of a brawl. You don't think there's any chance that that's where we're going, do you?
And Punk did have his Bret colours on against Dustin...

Adam Cole had an interesting line in his promo on Dynamite. "A member of the undisputed elite is going to take the whole damn thing." If Kenny could get back in time for an early squash match for the Owen Hart...

I know I like Cash, and I know I like Dax, I just still don't know which one is which.

The Northman
Think I'm going to break my cinema drought for this. Only seen Spiderman at the cinema since 2019, so it's a big deal. Love Robert Eggers, the VVitch was so good.

If I don't break my streak for Northman then I definitely would for this if it gets a proper release. Body horror is my favourite sub-genre of horror and Cronenberg is the master. Looks like he's made it fresh again somehow in this one. He's one of the only few directors I've seen every single film of. Very excited he's come out of retirement for this and has Viggo back with him too.

I thought the season was going to be Q-centric, but it's teasing something I never knew I wanted: A borg zombie apocalypse story in modern times. Don't know if we'll get it either with only 3 episodes left unless they get a move on. The plot has slowed down a lot in the last 3 episodes. Hopefully they can stick the landing.

WE HAVE A HEEL TURN!

I said this on January 12th:
QuoteI'm quoting this for no other reason than my personal prediction is that she will be a heel before the end of 2022. New boyfriend, middle fingers to the camera, extra feistyness in matches. Something in my gut tells me it's organically going to head that way.
I don't get it right much, so let me have this one, I told you so!
Didn't think it would be so quick, but I am looking forward to seeing what Heel Tay can do. Wonder what they'll do with her team with Anna Jay? She's been tagging with Ruby as of late, hopefully they don't just ignore it, it could be interesting. Heel Tay vs Ruby would be fun too.

100% Jamie Hayter. Leyla Hirsch still needs to join Team Taz. Deeb can rejoin CM Punk's new Cult of Straight Edge Personalities or whatever he'll call it when he eventually turns heel again.
Add Moriarty and Garcia turning on Jericho and we have the full gauntlet.

This got me thinking...
Who else is worthy of being in Lord Regal's infinity brass knucks?

I can't remember a piece of heel chicanery I've enjoyed in recent history more than Lethal's lowblow. Gresham-Bandido and Woods-Yuta were also excellent and forgotten by the Briscoes-FTR classic.
100% agree, Lethal's facial expression selling that he had to resort to such chicanery to beat his much younger opponent was perfect. As was Moriarty countering many of Lethal's well known moves which was emphasised by the commentary team who said he had watched a lot of tape beforehand.

Blackpool is one of many towns in England that can be compared this way. Skegness, Southend, Brighton, Great Yarmouth... The list goes on. All really nice places to visit near the seafront in the warmer months during the day. Just don't venture too far inland in the colder months at night.

Even Regal was born 100km away in the midlands of England. He used to venture up to Blackpool as a teen on the weekends to visit the carnival which had the wrestling in it.

Can anyone help me work out the cheapest / easiest way to watch GCW's back-catalogue? Fite.TV is not an intuitive site. I see you can pay monthly for it, but don't know what would be included. The GCW ppvs are expensive on their own. Is there any other way? In the UK if that makes a difference. Thank you.

Oh, man. It was only, like, Friday when @The Natural got us making lists of anticipated matches.
And suddenly the list is just so much bigger!
It's likely we'll eventually get Joe vs Punk and vs Bryan in AEW or ROH.
Samoa Joe facing off with Tully's gang of Kaun, Toa Liona, and then Cage (or even Kaun, Cage, then Liona!) could be a pretty epic ROH feud.
Or a similar run vs the House of Black guys in AEW!
Also Joe vs Mox, Joe vs Kingston, Joe vs Garcia, Joe vs Darby, Joe vs Miro, Joe vs Butcher!
vs Keith Lee, Powerhouse, Kenny, Jungle Boy, Silver, Page...
Or tagging with literally any of the above!
Or in a competitive squash with Serpentico or Fuego or JD Drake or Bear Boulder (there you go, @Octopus) or Pretty Peter or Comoroto...
Hell, gimme Joe vs Hager! Make it a "choke out or tap out" match!
Unreal.
YES
I just hope with a reduced schedule Joe can stay fit and healthy so we get all these matches and more. Give me Bryan v Punk v Joe triple threat, why the hell not.

She's slimmed down so much as well. Must be tough to find enough brains to keep the weight on.

I have literally never been more confused about people's reaction to something like this. I was fully prepared to flood this thread with jokes about this, because I thought the entire situation was a hilarious example of how the world works sometimes. It's not OK to slap someone, I get it, but it's also not OK to ridicule someone over a medical condition. One thing lead to the other, and that's how life goes sometimes. I don't think it says anything about either man's character, or has any societal implication, Chris Rock said something about Will Smith's wife and Will Smith smacked him for it. That's kind of how situations like this work. People get to define their boundaries.
Going by your other comments, it's clear you were brought up differently than a lot of us. I think the smart thing for Will to have done is raise the issue in the after-party, either verbally or yeah slap him there in private if he still feels he deserves that. But not on global television. That was a stupid move.

Nicole Kidman's range severely limited by her botox. Such a shame.
The Rock knows what's up. Man knows a shoot slap when he sees one. "Oh brother Chris is gonna give him a receipt for that one."

AEW - MAY 2022
in ALL ELITE WRESTLING

Definitely. I love that he's entirely soft spoken during the whole thing. So many promos are stereotypical shouty wrestler promos, and here we have Mr. Regal being quiet and scaring the shit out of people 100x more powerfully because of it. This is how Cesaro should have been given promo time back in the day, instead of just here's a mic kid go fail in front of everyone.
