  1. Best part of the show was easily this: https://youtu.be/D8M8I2SYEiA?si=ZAjjhl4HXy5nM_1f
  2. The Bucks parodying Tony Khan was spot on. Do any of the ROH title holders ever win on tv? I hope this angle between Eddie and the Bucks continues to evolve with Eddie continuing to pay money in advance for his fines, only for the Bucks to decide they're giving him a makeover and he'll now be referred to as Eddie Money. TK even forking out for the rights to Take Me Home Tonight. That'll be the thing that gets him over the top, daddy. +1 for a 32 team international invitational double elimination brass knuckles battle royale come as you are tournament for the vacant straps held entirely on ROH
  3. Ugh, doing the math on Arn being 65, I'm the same age now as when he gave the My Spot promo. Looking forward to giving that same promo to work when I give my portfolio over to the guy who types one finger at a time and forgets his password three days a week.
  4. Heel authority figure pairs him with the incoming Great Khali, and doesn't understand why this won't work.
  5. If you've just arrived on the main roster as a heel, you're in a six person chamber match where you're the only definitive heel in the match, I suspect it undermines a lot of people in that match when you constantly play to the crowd for face reactions and hitting most of the high spots in the match. Equal blame should go to whoever produced the match to allow it and an inexperienced rookie, but that's some bullshit.
  6. I just landed in Perth. It's raining which is super rare for this part of the world. Should be an interesting out door show if this keeps up (which they're saying is unlikely by bell time, but looking at the forecast probably will stop about four hours before show time)
  7. I can understand why they chose Mabel given the issues lingering of the steroid trial and I suspect he was working cheap. But also it just feels like a rehash of Yokozuna who is still prominently featured on the midcard. I think they massively dropped the ball on a Scott Hall heel turn around here.
  8. Yeah it's a strange one - I can see he worked two more house shows after it, but also they're back and forth with USWA both before and after the knee, so he could have been working shows for them and didn't. Also after the heel turn, he was still on TV despite rarely wrestling.
  9. Mo got injured in a televised match with Owen around that time, landed awkwardly on his knee and they just go straight to the finish. They did run him as a singles guy which went nowhere, but they also had him tagging with....Typhoon of all people too.
  10. There was an IYH in late 95 where Razor and the Kid faced the Gunns for the tag titles. Finish was Razor had one beat, Kid insisted on tagging in, gets nuked, and Razor gets DQd for breaking up the pin too many times. I love that finish. Progressed the story really well and I don't know why they haven't recycled it beyond the requirement of retconning a rule not enforced for thirty years back into existence.
  11. I thought the Bucks still wrestling in the suits from last week made Top Flight look shit. They aren't taking them seriously enough by not wearing their regular gear, and something that looks difficult to wrestle in instead, even though Top Flight beat them last time, and still win relatively easily. Could have easily worn them to the ring with gear underneath and had same result without making Top Flight looking like enhancement talent.
  12. I think Garcia needs to beat Copeland here. I know that the "has plenty of hope spots and should beat him but slips on a banana peel at a crucial point and gets a respect handshake afterwards" trope won't mean anywhere enough as they think it will.
  13. Yeah, it feels like 99 (there were also the rumours of having Chyna in the main event too), but also was Russo in WCW by then? Agreed it was a set main event in 1998, was Russo even booking by mid-1997?
  14. Canadian Stampede - HHH and Foley did it. I think it may have been done recentlyish with Dean Ambrose/Luke Harper?
  15. I think to justify having Seth involved, and put more heat on it, you have Rock/Bloodline either further injure Seth's knee that the title is vacated and up for grabs at Elimination Chamber (Rock best for businessing him and vacating it without doing anything also works), or they cost him the title at Elimination Chamber. Put the title on Drew, makes his match with Sami that much more relevant and you can justify their match on night one or two being a midcard whatever scenario if they choose to have Roman on both nights. Rollins/Cody vs Rock/Reigns seems the best use of limited Rock.
  16. I think the double turn was the right call but the way they went about it didn't really make a ton of sense. Swerve's beaten Hangman twice already. He didn't need the additional five minutes. Hangman was the one that needed to beat Swerve. Additionally the AEW rankings they put out had Swerve at #1 so the logic of him not getting a title shot for failing to beat Hangman wasn't there. Yeah, it gave everyone an excuse to boo Hangman but probably should have been leaned into as his self doubts manifesting that he couldn't beat Swerve and was ducking him, rather than trying to fuck with him or do the smart thing and hang onto a title shot he never had to begin with.
  17. On the negative side, similar reaction from Bischoff probably gets him another gig running a promotion.
  18. I saw a post on social media with 50k likes advocating for Rock/Roman to be Fingerpoke of Doom II. And it's such an absurdly bad idea I almost want to see it now.
  19. I think the most interesting thing they can do is start the show by announcing Sami/Drew and then Rollins accepting the challenge of Gunther instead (maybe in response to Reigns' promo, and perhaps conceding that his title isnt as important, but it would be by beating the title reign that matters most), and leave Cody without too many options. But that would also render the Elimination Chamber highly irrelevant (unless you made it for the IC title).
  20. I dunno, Rocky Johnson's statutory rape charge and multiple similar accusations being glossed over as "took bookings in Saudi Arabia for a rival promoter" is hard to beat.
  21. The true effectiveness of Jerry McDevitt is revealed when a transfer of power document for Jerry Jarrett circa 1994 is revealed to be still legally binding and all further creative meetings are just Dewey Foley working an ouija board.
  22. At least by contrast Hangman being put through a car windshield and deciding "ehh I'll focus on the world title instead" seems to make sense.
  23. If it weren't for Cody talking himself out of a Mania main event, we'd really be focusing a lot more on Adam Cole masterminding a year long plan to take the AEW World Title.....and give it to someone else, so him and his friends can focus on taking the midcard title from Orange Cassidy and feuding with The Best Friends.
  24. Run back WM 9. Roman destroys Rock in under five minutes. Cody comes out, beats Roman. Everyone goes home happy. No Rock having to do a Mania main event length match, Roman has an out, Cody gets his title. Whether you combine the titles again or not, whatever.
  25. So when MJF makes the save for Orange Cassidy after the UK attack him, any guesses for what the tag team name will be? Will MJF take OC for a spray tan to make Orange Jews remotely appropriate?
