  1. I've gone too far down the early '00s rabbit hole: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvETWzme3Z_bjJs3lPoH9M5PCIG9rfWBH&si=vij6GXNLxP7GGLKD
  2. I enjoyed Bray Wyatt for many reasons, but one of them was an early NXT promo I caught somewhere online (or maybe back when I had the Network) that starts with "My daddy was a Captain..." I always thought that was an awesome nod.
  3. Co-MF'ing-signed, I've been calling for that Angelico match for forever. OC I think there's a greater likelihood we'll get to organically, but that Angelico match has to happen
  4. BTW: all this this punk rock talk and no one went with "Shipping Up To Bo$$ton?!?!?"
  5. Oh, duh - thanks dude. I know people are probably tired of me bringing this up all the time, but as great as that match was, PAC's line the following week in his promo is what stuck with me moreso: "KENNEH!! DID YE THINK I FORGOT WHAT YE DID TO MAH NOSE BONE?!?" So I must've switched the teams in my head
  6. Terrible news, and I hope he pulls through - I also feel like a giant, giant ass right now, because this is how I learned I've been confusing Coleman with Ron "H²O" Waterman for 20+ years since catching him wrestle pre-TV Randy Orton at a WWF house show as a teenager
  7. Exactly where I was heading, but kinda uh, forgot to write (it's almost like I have a job I should be doing right now, or something!) Mega-face Willow vs. heel Mercedes is where we gotta end up. I've made the comparison before, but handled right, I think Willow could be a huge "underdog" type star, like Danielson in the lead up to WM XXX.
  8. Excellent point - and that's why I wanted to really emphasize that I didn't intend for it to be a put-down of any kind; everyone here could probably learn a thing or two from them (myself included)
  9. @HarryArchieGusWell put, and I cannot disagree whatsoever. Though, interesting thought experiment: I'm sure it largely would depend on the town, but part of me wonders if the AEW crowd would actually boo the homegrown, fun-loving, super hot (settle me gently) Willow against Mercedes. Obviously that seems kind of nuts on the surface, but in all seriousness, youve got an audience who was already kind of torched by an ex-WWE star or two on the male side, and has already been semi-trained by that Outcasts angle to boo any "invading" women - you're right in that maybe it's not a good idea to chance at this juncture, but I'm not entirely convinced the crowd wouldn't be (let's say) 70 Willow/30 Sasha
  10. In a way/sense, yes - I'm hesitant to say anything that could be misconstrued as xenophobia or a put-down of any sort, but there seems to be a contingent of international fans on those type of forums who treat the proceedings more like pure sport. "JHON CENA WILL KILL ___"-type stuff
  11. Seconded on the card as a whole, but I could go for a Britt return here. I think she's probably one of the most qualified women in terms of being able to go toe to toe with Mercedes on the mic - with that said, I *do* think you kind of have to go Willow as a first bout. Pardon my French but "You broke my ankle, stole my belt, and ruined the Japan run I've dreamed of since I was a little girl" absolutely fucking books itself.
  12. Took the words out of my mouth! Great built in "unfinished business" story there with the Death Triangle/Elite Best of 7 last year, and PAC walking out on em during B&G because of his nose bone (obviously that was more geared toward Omega, but they can pivot it to just being 'the Elite' since they've now split per last week's promo). It would be a lot easier to guess at if we knew Omega's current health status - I'm still not convinced we aren't getting Omega/Hangman vs Bucks III in this tag tourney
  13. Another point on this, that I am going to try and put as delicately as possible: WWE's international reach growing even more over the last decade means that a lot of social media and comment sections are also now teeming with audiences from around the world who may not be entirely familiar with the fictional nature of what they are seeing.
  14. Great point, about that - I do wonder if there was a situation where "executive 1 and 2" knew enough about this to where they thought: give Vince enough rope, and he'll just hang himself, leaving us to both reap the benefits of a sale AND be able to plausibly say "The bad man's gone." I could see a world where someone, without anticipating the Vince suit later, looks at that like a win/win. Someone elsewhere made a great point too: it may behoove the plaintiff to involve current WWE management because they may have access to evidence that's no longer in Vince's possession, and wouldn't come out in discovery against him alone (as opposed to involving the company) - so it may be that there's a bit of legal strategy involved, in order to "widen access"
