  1. Preorders for the new made to order CM Punk figure from Mattel go live on Friday (only $25!). It’s based off his Survivor Series return outfit (but also has the black Punk logo shirt too) This will go nicely with my Punk shrine. Still need to get some of the other AEW figures, too…
  2. I’ll get to this sometime this week. I’m at work right now, but this weekend has sucked between me having to put a sick pet down and now I’m moving in a few weeks. I’ll edit this post and tag ya in it when I watch it and find you something.
  3. Hey, it’s me! I’m just here to make @Matt D watch Seth Rollins matches. (I’ve never read any of the road crew reports, or any of the main website stuff. I only found this place when I was a teenager because I followed dev the clown here to troll him back in the eyesore green board days)
  4. @Curt McGirt Mox might be injured or whatever but he also just did a BJJ tournament about a week ago (and lost), so there’s that to consider too.
  5. My coworker has logged around 100 hours and he’s at Chapter 9 I believe. meanwhile I’m slowly playing Remake, at like 10 hours, and I’m halfway through the story already.
  6. Let’s complete the trifecta and talk about how AEW needs to explain who all of these new people are for the casuals watching at home
  7. Ratings talk, an argument for TK to let everyone know about potential injuries and/or why someone isn’t on TV… goddamn, the feeling really is restored.
  8. HEADOFTHETABLE is the locker code for the free agent Roman. I saw it on Reddit.
  9. These free agent cards as rewards in the Tower mode of MyFaction are bullshit. Roman was one, given out as an apology FOR THE GAME DELETING YOUR DATA. Dakota Kai was the reward for Week 1. Karrion Kross is the Week 5 reward. I had enough MFP to buy a Heat pack. What did I get? A bronze card that’s a CAW - which is another thing, for such low ratings those characters are WAY more tough than actual wrestlers. The triple threat in the first part of the Proving Ground? Bullshit. The little cruiserweight Kombucha was picking up OMOS for moves. I used Montez Ford to unlock Omos today and he was knocking me down on running attacks due to weight detection. Insane. I like MyFaction as a replacement of 2K19’s Tower mode, but goddamn it’s pretty skummy sometimes. I’m trying to evolve Bea to a Ruby card right now but there’s not even a lot of women’s matches, which is why I’m doing runs of Faction Wars. Which is much better this year due to the new tag rules. I’m in the middle of a run right now and had enough points saved up to unlock a Ruby card Charlotte which was nice.
  10. I’m fairly sure you’d be buying nothing today.
  11. To be fair, the First Dance kind of proved that they didn’t need to do promotion of big debuts like this. It’s probably not fair to compare Mercedes to Punk, but the situations are similar and that episode of Rampage was insane when it came to ratings, quarter numbers, the demo and even per market breakdowns (especially numbers in Chicago). This is only the second time they’ve done a big wrestler themed debut show in their hometown I’m pretty sure, so let’s wait a minute and see the breakdowns. I’m sure if WBD felt that AEW’s strategy of big time debuts wasn’t working they’d tell Tony and he’d bow to whatever they requested he do from now on.
  12. Willow turned 30 this year, but yeah you’re spot on. Everyone else is in their 20s - Statlander too, even though she wasn’t out there in person. Mercedes is only 32. If she signed a contract for the same amount of years they usually do, she’ll still be in her 30s by the time that ends. Crazy to think about. EDIT: Also Mercedes’ theme isn’t by Mikey Rukus, she did it herself according to him on Twitter.
  13. it’s weird that you’re annoyed by crowd participation when the first part of your post makes it seem like you enjoy it
  14. “basically not using him” usually translating to “I don’t wanna watch ROH”
  15. I mean, it’s always been possible, since it’s only a Triple Crown because Eddie holds three belts. They were never meant to be defended as one unified belt at all times (but is a possibility if the story calls for it). If you take Eddie out of that tournament, then someone else would have that belt anyway. I don’t think Okada holding a New Japan belt would be weird, either. It’s not like he’s never going back there, same with Ospreay. They could sign Mina Shirakawa tomorrow and it wouldn’t be weird if she won the IWGP Women’s Title, or the STRONG. Same with Mercedes. There’s cooperation among these companies, even if the internet wants to believe TK is sucking New Japan dry when in reality it’s more to do with just how bad Japan’s economy is tanking right now (source: I work for a Japanese automotive company).
  16. I didn’t watch most of the show, but I loved the First Dance style opening. No show intro, run down the card, and then boom - big debut. I still feel like babyface Mercedes/Sasha isn’t the best (especially promo wise), but this was perfectly fine. The show ending angle was about what I expected when they announced Riho/Willow last week. It was either Mercedes goes after Toni immediately, or there’s the unfinished business with Willow. There’s still a lot left with Toni, much to the displeasure of some people, so it’s probably a good thing to let Mercedes work with Willow, Stat, Riho, Julia, Skye, etc in the meantime. I’m assuming Britt returns next week to tag with Deonna, since I saw she challenged Toni & Mariah. Or maybe it’s Hayter? That would be dope as fuck. I turned on my PS5 after the Elite match, so I only followed along on Twitter. Ospreay’s “Restore the feeling? I AM the feeling.” line is god tier IMO and pretty much how I feel. Which is wild since a few years ago I really didn’t like him at all.
  17. Which is perfectly fine, because Mercedes excels as a heel and honestly their women’s division doesn’t have that huge heel. Toni is slowly turning face, and with this All About Eve story, will be face anyway before it’s over with. The biggest heel is… Julia & Skye? Saraya? That’s not good.
  18. TK mentioned DVDVR during the panel he, Danielson and Britt Baker did at SXSW a few days ago. It was in reference to Danielson not thinking people thought he was the best wrestler in the world in 2004, and TK said this board did, because he was there. Trevor Dame assumes this is in reference to the DVD 500. Another fun tidbit from that panel was that Vince apparently asked Bryan, when he was doing creative before he left, what AEW was doing that WWE wasn’t. So Bryan went and watched something like 6-8 weeks of TV in one weekend and came back, “they’re doing a lot”.
  19. I personally love that they stealth introduced a new enemy type (flying bugs) with the latest patch. The story moving along already is great too, I love what they’re doing. The tease of mechs a week ago, then the introduction of them, and now the new mission type to eradicate the bugs that’ll almost surely result in them being forever changed somehow. The little bits of lore during the missions that indicate Super Earth raise the bugs like cattle and put them on planets to continue the business of war. I haven’t played too many GAAS, but this is how they should be. Not waiting for a major expansion to continue the story, but doing it weekly through small things in the game helps tremendously with player immersion.
  20. The men’s MyRise isn’t nearly as goofy (yet) compared to what I’ve heard about the women’s version. I might actually finish it this year.
  21. Ospreay retires Billy Gunn at Wembley in 2025, 8 stars
  22. if you mean digitally, it was last on sale at the end of January/beginning of February for $20-$30 (PS4 and PS5 versions).
  23. Last year, I did the “beat Reigns on legend difficulty” as my very first trophy. It wasn’t hard. What the fuck happened?! Is the hardest difficulty actually… hard this year?! What?? Or is it just Reigns being super OP? Or Bruno being terrible in comparison and not being able to use any Payback specials?
  24. Wayward Son was the Elite’s music when they were doing the post Brawl Out sympathy run. They’re heels now, using that Succession rip-off theme. It fits better, IMO. A good way to tell: you’re in for a crummy time when Naito is wearing a tshirt. If he’s not, he’s gonna go until his knees turn to (star)dust.
  25. Big Business/Dynasty spoilers for Collision (taped tonight)
