This is very random, but has anyone else here gotten a Twitter DM from Konnan? My phone went off at 2:30 this morning, and it's fucking K-Dawg asking "Do u listen to my podcast"

The modern day I.R.S. we never knew we wanted! Speaking of which: I thoroughly enjoyed Kenny's white pants, along with the anchor he drew on his arm in sharpie. "My daddy was a sea captain."

I get the whole "referred to gun violence" aspect, but it's a hot button issue so i'm not gonna be a dickhead and litigate it here - all I intended to point out with my comment was how much I enjoyed the intensity he brought

I feel like Arn really hit a gear on that one that he hasn't touched in a long, long time. Like, that wasn't sweater vest Arn, that was the fucking Enforcer. Loved it.

I didn't love it, tbh. It's got that "Miro likes video games" feel, like they're really grasping for some kind of tenuous connection to his actual personality

For a U.S. based fan, who watches live, I think it's a huge difference personally. I'm not sure if it's because of the automatic fight comparison, but Saturdays made Takeovers special, its what makes most AEW shows special (I hope they never do a non-holiday weekend Sunday). By 8 PM Sunday night, I am already well into licking my wounds from the NFL day, and dreading the absolute nightmare that is the work week ahead. 8 PM Saturday is still positive vibes all around. And it makes the show better in that way: I'm probably way more forgiving about a shitty finish or some bad creative on a Saturday. Everyone's different, naturally, but that's my experience.

I had it really, really early on. Maybe I'll give it another shot this afternoon. I was under the mistaken impression the changes were just all cosmetic/animation based.

Tbh, if youve tried playing that thing, you probably wouldn't wanna read all that copy either. I had high hopes, but it's very weird and very buggy. I know Kenny Omega said in the past that the console game probably wouldn't have a GM-style mode, but I'm really hoping they reconsider that position now that Elite GM has been out for a while.

I didn't get to watch this week yet, but a few times on Dark they've done these rapid-fire promos to end the show and I'm heavy into it. It's got just a hint of that ECW Pulp Fiction type flavor Edit: @Peck within seconds my man!

Semi-related, I think that was Dolph's voice on BTE this week behind the camera for that segment. Maybe just a a fun thing, not necessarily a tease. Could just be a simple negotiation tactic for Ziggler. Who knows.

Thinking back to my comments earlier on the Matt Jackson double suplex: I think for me, it's not a strength thing, nor is it a size thing (like I said, I love the Bucks) it's more that I think it's one of those "Powerbombing Kidman" kind of setups, or for more contemporary examples, the draping on the ropes for the Orton DDT or the 619. I know it's a real weird, minor nitpick given I have no problem with anything else they do.

You're setting yourself up for a nice Ultimo/Ultimate Dragon situation where the chyron changes nearly every week

This is so stupid but I can't stop laughing https://www.reddit.com/r/Wrasslin/comments/pw71fj/from_mrprofessor318/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

I'm a huge Bucks fan, but I've gotta agree that particular spot, especially on a regular basis, has to go. I know it makes zero sense given the rest of their repretoire, but for some unknown reason, that's where my line is.

Oh shit, I forgot this happened. It was sort of cool because as you all know, I'm a WCW guy, so it was great to see The Giant, Sting, Jericho, and Arn all in one night

My NXT name in the video game is Dr. Kenneth Thorndyke. I stole it from a guy I saw on a Match Game '76 rerun.

Anyone know if Dalvin Cook is playing?

NYC was bruuuuutal to Cody. I've been there for your mixed Cena reactions and so forth, but it was so bad Wednesday, someone behind us yelled "Cody, tell us your whereabouts on January 6th!" Another small group was chanting "Fuck you, Arn!" It was really something.

Sign me up immediately. That would be a really great match to run whenever they eventually make it to Canada (I'm sure COVID is preventing them from going there currently). A show that had that match, along with like the Owen tournament semis and finals as the undercard would probably do well with Canadian fans.

I just picked up Fire Pro from the PS5 store today for $10. My first foray into the series coming from mainly 2K19 and it's insanely difficult so far. It feels like myself and player 2 are just hitting each other and doing nothing. Trying to get thru the tutorials currently. Where can I download these edits etc? I was excited for the creation suites but I'm underwhelmed so far

I'd like to thank AEW for Tweeting everyone to take mass transit, resulting in absolutely zero traffic. We made it home an hour after the main event, while the estimated train ride was FIVE hours. My voice is gone. I have never experienced live wrestling on that level. I have a ton of scattered thoughts so do bear with me Firstly: Sting. I have been waiting to see Sting since 1996, man. I cannot emphasize how happy I am to have gotten to see him. And not only was the match tremendous, but FTR wearing the NWO parody trunks for this was the icing on the cake. Everything you heard about insane lines for merch and food/drinks is true. It was crazy. At one point the stand near me ran out of beer, and they had to send a guy to another place to get it, but I dipped back to my seat because Punk was coming out. Kyle in sec 127, if you are on this board, my bad dude. Flip side of the coin: my girlfriend said twice she was alone in the ladies room... Something dope is gonna happen on Rampage but I can't figure out the tags right now. I have a lot more thoughts on the show but I absolutely cannot gather them, I'm still fired up. I'm just so incredibly happy AEW exists. Everyone there cared, everyone loves this. Like, I never went to a Raw where I made line friends who wanted to talk about how cool the mechanical doors on WCW SN sounded. And this crowd was again, just on another level. I mean the roar even being in the building was legit near- overwhelming at times. Truly blown away by this evening.

Silk Stalkings! Barb Wire was later on Spike, it was a cartoon based on the Pam Anderson movie. Side note: we haven't left yet. Someone's decided they need to replicate DMD's glitter eyeshadow for the show

I couldn't sleep, so we're leaving for the stadium early. I saw a reddit thread where some guy listed a bunch of good Chinese joints in the neighborhood so maybe we'll hit up one of those if there's time. Train home looked like trouble, so we're braving the traffic and driving in. Everyone seems to think it's going to be a nightmare, but I mean, how much worse than the average Met game can it be?

Slightly off topic, but I was a little disappointed by how the setup looked. The hanging banners for the other shows remind me too much of FCW

It's the best of both worlds, because they still have the timekeepers table to put each other through
