  1. It would have to be TWA, I’d guess.
  2. I really miss Kawada.
  3. Well this episode of AEW has the handicap of following the show where I got everything I’ve ever wanted in a wrestling match. After a childhood full of syndicated squash show matches. Having a match on regular tv that (for me) is the apex pairing. It doesn’t get any better than that. This episode of Rampage didn’t have a chance to follow that. Yet still, it was a great episode. I’m going to shout whomever pointed out the plot hole of nobody coming out to save Jericho and Jake. Exasperated by the fact they’re all wearing support vests AND there are two segments after the beat down of other Inner Circle members coming out all happy and jovial. Like nothing even happened to their crew. Sammi and Santana and Ortiz come out later and I’m like: “Where the fuck were these dickheads?” Really? Don’t get me wrong. The Sammi segment got more focus on next weeks match. The 8 man tag quietly planted the seed for a P&P vs Lucha Bros tag title match. It got its work done. It’s just a block that doesn’t fit with the other LEGOs. Maybe re-edit the show and put the Jericho match later in the show? Had an eye opening moment seeing Hager do the job. That doesn’t happen every day. TK has a lot of credit to spend when choosing someone to lay down. Punk vs Hobbs and HOOK was all the good. The 6 Man tag revealed that maybe it’s understood. Luchasaurus isn’t going to be protected as much as your typical “big guy/giant” on a typical team or faction. Being that he does the job again here. The double goozle choke slam was fire. I like the idea of the Mark Henry pre-Main Event dual interview. But they aren’t getting any better. Maybe they’ll get it there. I love you AEW.
  4. Milk ain’t vegan bruh! Doesn’t your imaginary Brie Bella care about the planet? ?
  5. I haven’t watched the Pillman episode of DSOTR. So my understanding of this Pillman push isn’t readily apparent. But DSOTR is so into the wrestling cultural zeitgeist that to ignore PJr would seem like a missed opportunity. Maybe a cut off would be appropriate until he develops further. OR… Maybe PJr. could be the one to talk Wardlow into turning face and crushing MJF as a pair?
  6. What a show. Man, I loved everything on this show top to bottom. Bryan is my dude, in your base, killing all your dudes. Yeah, Ruby was gassed. But she held it together just fine.
  7. I’ve smoked my joint. I. Am. Ready!
  8. I was betting that the crowd would kill a solid effort from both. I was thinking the crowd wouldn’t be as up to date in the goings on or forgot about the one highlight of the piledriver shown on Dynamite. (BTW, auto correct tried to replace piledriver with “puked river”) But damn, the crowd was into it. The angle afterward worked well enough to continue the story. Solid undercard material.
  9. I heard the beat and everything.
  10. I had this issue. I remember the bit about the “unruly beard”. Wow.
  11. So what’s the over/under on Hook having a vast array of Tazplexes followed by stoic arm crossing?
  12. Solid enjoyable show that soothes the soul of this old wrestling dork. Bryan/Omega. Fucking bring it. Dan Lambert is an inspiration on the mic. The poise, the confidence. I’ll bet the mirror he has been practicing in front of is a fan too. Little bit of “seen it” for Suzuki and the rest doing the crowd brawl when Cody and Black already did one. This might have been better served as a beat down on Mox and Eddie to set up Suzuki doing something really fucked up only to be interrupted by a flock of refs. I don’t know. I liked that closer. But it never got into 3rd gear. That red suit made Cody easy to spot in those far away shots in the crowd. Smart. Seemed like a lot of strong promos tonight. I really like how they’ll wedge 20/30 second promos in between match announcements. Keeps things straight. I love you AEW.
  13. This looks pretty rough. Plus: Ruckus is still around.
  14. I’m looking for a recommendation. I’m looking to sim a football game. However, since I do not follow the NFL I haven’t got a clue about their video games. It’s kind of hard to look up reviews Ideally, I would need a team and roster creator. Hopefully, a custom stadium creator. Plus, whatever else might be available to customize streaming on YouTube so it’s reflective of my sim wrestling league. Lastly, I’d rather not buy a current generation Madden game. I’m really only doing this football (with my roster of wrestlers) as a one off. So would any of the cheaper football games from the past few years work for me?
  15. I’m just high enough. But I’m going to have to smoke another bowl after seeing this shit. It fucking talks on the show doesn’t it? The muppet is a character that interacts with everyone else? I haven’t watched NXT in a bit.
  16. I’ve never had a problem with the sequels. So you can imagine I’m pretty stoked for this. I never got to play Matrix Online but I did follow as much of the story as it happened. So It’ll be quite the treat if I find a few Easter eggs about the Morpheus deal or The General.
  17. I’m fine with MJF doing what he do. I too am a heel. I just wish he was saying that hateful shit to somebody I care about. Junior Pillman wasn’t up to the task tonight. The show wasn’t a home run. But I’m getting Kenny Omega vs. Bryan Danielson on my tv.
  18. AEW is certainly blessed to have the former WWE talent they have. Because while some like Miro have a lot of miles left to run. Guys like Punk and Bryan do not. So it’ll be really good that when the time comes. Whatever credit they have to pass the torch to the next gen up and comers… they’ll spend it on the legacy of the company. Mid-2000s ROH really could have used a few guys like that. They might not have dead ended like they did.
  19. Loved this show. More please.
  20. You got me.
  21. My feeling on this NXT change is that it’s already snakebit. USA can’t be happy that this is where we are at concerning this weekly show they pay a pretty penny for. It’s really weird that the subtext meta version of backstage WWE now more frequently includes a narrative from the perspective of the network their shows are on. It didn’t used to be that way in the days of syndication and early ppv. I mean Smackdown has bounced around from numerous networks but there never was a real bidding/war pissing contest over it. Now they’re always in Vince’s ear about which show get which stars. I forget what my point was.
  22. Gimme some views! Some muthafuckin views! Well… I brought back the friggin’ SLING app because I’m super geek psyched for All Out III. Here comes the Views. Sammy should just make this his entrance theme.
  23. He’ll be back as soon as he hears the rumors that Anna Jay has returned.
  24. I enjoyed this show a lot. Lots of good table setting for both the show on Friday and Sunday. I loved the tag opener and the Main Event. I’m constantly surprised by how much goodwill this company has and how just about everybody gets a nice pop for their entrance. That’s got to be seen as a good sign for the overall health of the company and its shows. They’ve even got me watching their b-shows at this point (now that they are happening in front of crowds). Bring on the PPV (hopefully I can find a way to watch it since my BR app has gone glitchy).
