  1. I was in the building when Private Party pulled off the major upset against the Young Bucks in the first round of that tournament. Let's hope we get another major upset this time around.
  2. There was a time where Sasha had Becky, Bayley, Charlotte, Ronda, Nia, Bianca and others' best matches... she was THE common denominator. Since then they've all had so many great matches that it's hard to rank them in any particular order. I'm excited to see her work all of the AEW women.
  3. My favorite moments on the show aside from Mercedes involved Samoa Joe, Will Ospreay and Okada. - Samoa Joe nudging the dead security guard off the stage was hilarious. - Okada saying "No...sing it.." was hilarious as is everything he's doing. - Ospreay's entire promo was fucking A+ and has me hyped for Dynasty. I saw Meltzer today say something about how Triple H was unfamiliar with Ospreay's game and to that I say... I think most of us were? I don't know. We knew he was one of the best wrestlers in the world but did we know he's one of the better promos in the business as well? Not to pick on Seth Rollins because I like him sometimes but imagine Ospreay in Rollins role. But we don't have to imagine that because instead he'll be putting on a dozen MOTYC's in AEW... What a signing.
  4. I like both Willow and Riho but you're asking some fans who don't normally watch AEW to sit around for two hours on the chance that Mercedes will show up again. Her segment did 1 million. The main event did 632K or something like that. I'm not blaming Tony, I liked having those women be the focal point of the show and the booking lately has been good in the company overall. Ratings should improve with time.
  5. Well the company was hotter then and Punk had been gone from wrestling for ten years so it's quite different. Mercedes segment at the top did 1 million in the quarter but the rest of the show fell off. It's fine because honestly they have had some decent booking since the build up to 'Revolution' and I think if they stay consistent the ratings will improve over time.
  6. It was great to see her back in a ring, Thank You. It was a pretty good show. Great crowd. I didn't go tonight, I actually haven't been to a wrestling show in a while now. But I watched with my cousins. They don't watch AEW but they were intrigued by Mercedes debut. Is it me or does AEW feel fresh as fuck right now? I guess adding Will Ospreay, Okada and now Mercedes will do that but even so you have the double turn of Hangman and Swerve which is really refreshing for both as well.. AEW Dynasty is looking like a can't miss show.
  7. Thank you, Sting. I grew up a little Stinger like a lot of you here. I think him and Warrior were probably my two favorite wrestlers when I was like 4-years old or whatever and had started watching. I liked tough dudes in face paint. That match was a great send off. What a spectacle. I didn't think Sting and Darby would go over either but I am glad they did. What a night. Takeshita vs. Ospreay was a MOTYC for sure! Incredible stuff. The World Title match was really good too. Very good show. For the love of everything though PLEASE get the fuck off the B/R app. It took me about 30 minutes to get the fucking thing to work tonight.
  8. Also, these past few months is Drew McIntyre's best work in WWE. It's reminding me of Bret Hart's heel run. He needs to win that title and add some prestige to it.
  9. This is what I think is going to happen. Cody has Roman beat. Solo comes out. Jimmy comes out. Here we go again. The Rock comes out. What the fuck. And then The Rock beats up Solo and Jimmy allowing Cody to take out Roman once and for all.
  10. They've sold close to 5000 tickets already. There's still people claiming that Mercedes isn't a draw. I can tell you one thing... there's no other women's wrestler moving tickets like that on their name alone.
  11. That press conference was both amazing and a fucking mess Lol. It was incredible. I'm glad they really turned up the TV-14 stuff, it made it feel more authentic. Seth looked like a fool for the most part. He got torn to shreds and got very little out of it. The Rock got a good ovation but it went down from there. The boos got heavier and heavier.... Cody was great. I didn't have The Rock joins Roman and then threatens Triple H backstage on my BINGO card but all of that was good stuff. The Rock as a heel is infinitely more interesting. I'm guessing that maybe this leads to Rock helping Cody at some point. They could also do The Rock and Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes on Night 1. Cody Rhodes vs. Roman Reigns on Night 2 That would make everyone happy I think.
  12. Well he did say he wanted 2024 to be like 2021. Didn't Bryan and Cole debut on the same night?
  13. Speaking of Money or Mone' rather... looks like "Big Business" is the official debut at TD Garden. Happy to see her back.
  14. This was a fantastic show. Swerve vs. Hangman tore the house down again. Glad they protected Swerve. Looks like we had a double turn there too? Blackpool Combat Club vs. CMLL All-Stars was great stuff. Deonna and Toni Storm's staredown was awesome. Sting and Darby winning the titles in a crazy match and then the Young Bucks busting them and Sting's sons open during the celebration! Best thing the Bucks have done in a very long time... Money angle.
  15. The U.S. women's wrestling GOAT is coming to AEW on March 13th. Let's fucking go.
  16. It's different than The Attitude Era. The women on the roster are either making their own gear or come up with the ideas for their own gear.
  17. I've seen Bayley a bunch of times live. Her stomach is completely flat and even if it wasn't.... who cares.... but again I think most wrestling fans on Twitter and Reddit are probably people who never leave the house.
  18. This is the same argument from when they landed the FOX deal. There's a live TV/sports media rights bubble that was on it's way to bursting until FAANG started getting involved in streaming. WWE didn't get the Netflix deal because of ratings or live gates, it's what Netflix needed to break into live streaming. Promotions can get hot and then get very cold, very quickly. Triple H had some goodwill built up by 1. Simply not being Vince. Meaning the booking would be better because they had nowhere to go but up. 2. The Bloodline Saga. That's why attendance has been up for 2 years. But decisions like this are the type of shit like the Fingerpoke of Doom that start a downward turn.
  19. That's not the story they've been telling for two years or even the story that was told at Royal Rumble where Cody was pointing at Roman.
  20. They could have also easily had Roman vs. Rock on Night 1 and Roman vs. Cody on Night 2. Roman only wrestles 5x a year, surely he could do a 10-minute spectacle with Dwayne and come back the next night for Cody/Roman II. But anyway, Cody winning the Rumble and NOT challenging Roman is one of the dumbest stories ever told.
  21. Yeah Cody beating Seth Rollins does nothing. That's not the "story" they have been telling. Triple H isn't the masterful booker that some people made him out to be is he?
  22. None of what Cody just said made any sense. Did I miss something? Obviously they want The Rock vs. Roman but why have Cody win the Rumble then?
  23. Vince is getting all the headlines and rightly so but the story also confirms what we long suspected that Johnny Ace is one of the most useless and vile human beings walking the face of the earth as well. Sheds some light on why Vince had him around for so long. They are both disgusting freaks.
