That movie is still the single biggest thread left hanging in the MCU, isn't it? Or did S2 of Loki retcon it? I can't remember honestly. I'm gonna find it real hard to swallow if Doomsday/Secret Wars doesn't at least somehow address the fact that there was an entire coliseum filled with Kang variants plotting the destruction of the Avengers.

if TK can make a ROH or AEW crowd give two shits about anyone in Shane Taylor Promotions then he deserves all the Booker of the Year awards.

Yes, that's the exact match that was in the comp I grabbed this morning. But I'm obsessive about my file names, and I need an actual date

Can anyone find me a specific date for Vader/Leon White versus Brian Knobbs on AWA television? Closest I've gotten is sometime in January 1987 (but the file I have just says 1986). If it helps anyone find the date, the match is around 4 minutes long. I also have two other matches, both from AWA. One claims to be his first match in the promotion, from Christmas night in '86. But another has him facing Zbyszko earlier in the year, in March.

Prepare for a screenshot from me of Bull being the holder of every title in the game.

Punk versus Gunther at SummerSlam. Punk wins. Seth cashes in. Drag it out until WrestleMania. Profits. You can strike out the second point and slot in the third if they're doing the WM31 thing. But either way. This pretty much lines up with what Meltzer said about Rollins' injury, that they want the crowd to think he's out so it's a surprise when he cashes in. I like Rollins & Punk both, but, man, I'm so sick of this feud. Hopefully they can wrap it up with a banger like he did with Drew. If it's at WrestleMania and Punk wins the title there, even better. I do find it funny that Roman is back to do a short little program before he goes to Australia in August to film Street Fighter. Same thing with Cody, he's gonna win the title back and then disappear. Unless he's just an insane person and will be traveling back and forth between Australia and the US to appear on Smackdown and/or wrestle. That's crazy, right? No way.

Deadline reported this today, along with Vidyut Jammwal as Dhalism.

......cool. A reskinned Chad Gable with a slightly different moveset.

G. Willow Wilson replied to me on BlueSky about a month or two ago, she's very sweet and appreciated how much Ms. Marvel meant to me (a white guy, in the South).

That post is really weird to me considering I was halfway crying typing out a post in the All In thread Saturday night/Sunday morning about what Hangman's first big arc meant to me - not only as a fan but as a human being - and how I'm incredibly happy with everything turned out for both guys and was a little emotional watching Hangman win his second World title. I don't know if I have the head for it, but I would buy a Punk beret though. That'd go hard as hell.

I'm pretty sure Caster counts for that because he didn't even get into the ring on Saturday and then the match ended.

At first I was wondering what all the fuss was about with the Money Train, because it seemed like that heist wasn't going to be a big deal but as S3 has went on it's just spiraled and grew even bigger. I'm on S3E14 right now, so I'm sure by the time you read and respond to this I'll be well into S4 since I'm on a binge of the show right now lol. It's pretty good! Definitely more of a bingeable watch than something like the Wire, IMO. I'm avoiding even looking up what happen to the Julien actor in an effort to avoid spoilers for the show, because Google sucks now. But that's WILD what you said, holy shit. I was on Team Dutch and then he kinda goes half psycho and kills an animal so now I kind of don't like him. Claudette seems alright but everyone in this show gets their turn at being super shitty so I'm sure it's coming.

Punk's in a gauntlet match? Fuck, I guess I have to watch RAW tonight. Great.

He literally did a podcast with Renee responding to things Punk was saying after he left for WWE.

Oh yeah, I forgot about him. Probably because I never watched the show - seems like a massive time sink for a show that's basically just Clark Kent doing Superman things without ever putting on the suit.

TV has had some pretty weird takes on Lex. Titus Welliver is probably about a weird of a choice for Lex as Jesse Eisenberg was. I haven't seen Cudlitz in the role but sight unseen it strikes me as another weird casting choice. I have nothing about John Shea, I haven't seen that show since I was a little kid. Then if you get into film versions, your choices get slimmed down to really just Hackman & Eisenberg unless you want to acknowledge Kevin Spacey (I don't). I'm sure odessasteps will say Lyle Talbot was great or something

When the OWA is delivered by Omega, nobody besides Ibushi has ever kicked out. When the OWA is delivered by anyone else, everyone kicks out. Kenny is master of that move and is the only one that can put people away with it.

Supposedly all of this fed into the other. His back injury led to him not wanting to do (as many) singles matches and be protected/hidden in tags, which in turn led to the perception (true or not) that he didn't want to take any losses, which led to him being labeled as one of those hard to work with guys and was moved to Collision in the early days when that brand was supposedly viewed as the land of the misfit toys & Punk's friends IE Miro, Starks, Malakai/House of Black, FTR, etc. There's also the idea that guys rather be midcard in WWE instead of a top guy/upper echelon of the card in the #2 US promotion because WWE is the only place that matters. Meltzer has talked about it before. It's why TK hasn't even touched the latest round of WWE firings, because most of the ones from before have used their work in AEW to get back to the promised land, or were just waiting until they got the call to return once their contract was up. Elayna & Shotzi both went on Helwani's show and said they'd love to work with AEW but ultimately want to go back to WWE and that's not what the other guys are looking for, it gives an air of biding time until they get the call.

You will not, because it's not you, it's the board lol

There's gotta be a difference in versions or something, because EWB is an Invision board too and it works perfectly fine.

I've made it to the point in Final Fantasy XIII where they introduce a major combat system change from the first hour of the game you've already played. It's... different, but I don't mind it. What threw me for a loop was that, and then maybe 10 minutes later is a tutorial for the upgrade/leveling system. Sensory overload, man. I can't get over how fucking gorgeous the cutscenes are in this game, especially for a 360/PS3 game. Series X might be doing a lot of legwork, though.

It's what you get if you mix Bo Dallas' face with Juice's body and height and put him in Damien Priest's gear with a dash of Diesel.

This all seems premature as of now, but it's still important to remember that it might be too painful for him to be out in front of the crowd performing but not being able to wrestle. Danielson famously made it known that he hated doing the GM stuff because he wanted to wrestle and it was pretty hard on his mental health. Maybe Adam Cole isn't like that, who knows. I'm not quite sure what Evil Uno & Aubrey Edwards do with AEW Games, but you've gotta think there's a spot for him on that team - especially since he has a podcast with Uno specifically about video games.

According to Alvarez (yeah), Cole was injured on the lariat from Fletcher on Thursday's Collision. If true, it's probably another concussion and we all remember how long it took for him to come back last time. Pure speculation, but he might be considering retirement or been suggested by the AEW medical team to consider it given his history.

It's a cool theme in a vacuum but stuff like that works way better if it's Japan, or combined with one of his existing themes to act as an intro or something.
