  1. They don't really need to split the titles, just like we don't need split world champions. WWE booking has made it clear we know who the real world champion is, and it's not Seth Rollins. Even when they revived the World Heavyweight Title, they at the same time branded Roman Reigns' belt with UNDISPTUED on it. It's the same with the women's division. Rhea Ripley is treated like the true star and face of the division. Iyo Sky is not treated with the same prestige. WWE worked just fine with part-timer Roman Reigns as the undisputed champion for over a year. It proved we didn't need two world champions. And if they wanted split tag titles, they never should've unified the belts in the first place.
  2. The guy doing Cyclops now is the best new actor.
  3. Josh Fine was also an executive producer and writer on Wolverine and the X-men as well. So he has experience working on an X-Men series. The first three episodes were very good. The show's a lot more mature and a bit edgier than the original series. The action and fighting is more detailed, fast-paced, and elaborate. The animation takes a bit of getting used to but at least it's fairly consistent. The movement is relatively smooth and it lacks that kind of weird jankiness that makes it hard for me to get into What If. Quite a few deep cuts with the comics, and they are clearly setting up big multi-episode, multi-season arcs. I like how they recreated the original intro and outro. The new intro is very much like the original series but they sneak in some new character intro moments and new character beats and Easter eggs. The new outro is an updated version of this: https://youtu.be/Xi8gp6SiSBg
  4. If the show continues into Season 3, they should consider Larry Houston or the Lewalds to take over. Either that or give Josh Fine a call. Fine was the co-creator and co-showrunner of Avengers: EMH.
  5. So weird as I'm supposed to be going to the world premiere tomorrow.
  6. I thought the last stretch of the Gauntlet Match was incredible, but once Gable started going crazy and screaming "I NEED THIS" it became obvious he was going to lose. I'm a little disappointed because Zayn vs. Gunther, while I'm sure it will be a fine match, does nothing for me at Mania. WWE did a great job of making me care about Gable and wanting him to be the one to finally take down Gunther, which really could've made Gable's career and cemented his legacy. Sami has already cooled down significantly from his Bloodline feud and challenging Roman. Doing a big schmoz ladder match at Mania for the tag titles makes no sense to me. Judgment Day has been feuding with R-Truth for months now. They've basically turned it into just a big spotfest so everyone gets on the card. Good promo by Cody. But if Cody somehow doesn't win at Mania, all of this is going to be for nothing. Cody can cut a good promo when he's not talking stupid nonsense.
  7. Nick Khan's comments basically cheerleading Vince McMahon coming back to the company early last year look even more embarrassing now.
  8. I think Gunther vs. Sami Zayn is a fine match and all, but it really does nothing for me. That match really could've made and cemented Chad Gable. I think Sami and Gunther will have a good match though. Considering they just forgot about Gable for a while after his loss to Gunther, they actually did a pretty brilliant job building him back up again for the Gauntlet only to have him lose. Like if Sami Zayn wins and ends Gunther's streak, who does that really elevate? Even Sami Zayn has cooled significantly from his days when he turned on The Bloodline. I'm not really enthusiastic about him ending Gunther's streak. Making a six-team tag team title ladder match for this show is stupid. They've been building this R-Truth feud with Judgment Day for months, and it feels like they are throwing it away just so they can shove as many teams on the card as possible. The right outcome here is a win for Awesome Truth, and it should've just been Judgment Day vs. Awesome Truth.
  9. Miro beat him at Worlds End, and CJ turned on Andrade, helping Miro win. Tony announced Andrade was leaving right after that. And then there was this:

  11. Those are very much AEW problems.
  12. Toriyama is probably one of the best and most influential creators of the last 50 years. Returned to Dragon Ball long after it was finished and I think told even better stories for the franchise. And he was still working constantly until the end when he could've easily coasted and rested on his past success.
  13. It didn't feel right because they were struggling to figure out what his niche was post-WWE when he couldn't do Rusev Day anymore and there were no fans in the arena. Then they pivoted to the Redeemer and that worked much better for a while. At first, they tried to make him the Best Man and be a cool big guy who likes anime and video games and stuff.
  14. Same for CM Punk, and look how that turned out. Did the short-term gains with CM Punk outweigh the long-term damage? I think you can make an argument they did. I mean I think with the proper promotion and support Miro could've been a phenomenal asset for AEW, and he does when he was operating on full cylinders as the Redeemer. But he had no idea what to do with Miro after he lost the TNT title. I think a lot of guys have that potential. But they also need that sustained creative push.
