  1. This was a top 3 AEW PPV in my book. 3 legit MOTYCs and other great matches as well. It was long but the crowd stayed red hot most of the night and I think the couple cool down matches they had were probably necessary given everything else that was packed into the event.
  2. I remember Brock vs. Big Show being entertaining, yes.
  3. I have a Crumbl about 15 minutes from me so I've been there a few times now. I don't hate it but the flavors often tell me they are appealing to kids under 12 who think mixing all this sugary stuff on top of one cookie would be awesome.
  4. WrestleMania under the TKO banner is soulless, overly corporate junk catering to Casino owners and people with money to blow who are still Hulk Hogan fans and remember Stone Cold being a thing 30 years ago. It's not for us.
  5. Wonder if they'll use the same set/staging/banners like they did in Atlantic City.
  6. Thought this was a good show. They did everything they needed to do to sell 'Double or Nothing' which is looking to be a fantastic show.
  7. Can you order it on Amazon or YouTube? I've been ordering PPVs on YouTube mostly
  8. I don't think wrestling fans are any weirder/crazier than hmm... I don't want to get too political here so I'll just say there are other groups online who are really weird and obsessed with conspiracy theories who I find to be a lot stranger.
  9. Isn't it well documented that Bret was drawing houses overseas as champion? This narrative of them needing Hogan always seemed off to me
  10. From what I saw of it Tiffany/Nia did seem like a solid match. I liked the nearfalls towards the end. I can't say much more than that. I fast-forwarded through a lot of SD! and it was the definition of mid. WWE is becoming extremely boring right now.
  11. The women's division is on fire. What was once thought to be a "weak spot" for AEW is currently a huge strength.
  12. I can see both sides of it. Hayter/Toni would be great but it's also 'ALL IN' which is AEW's biggest show of the year and Tony Khan might be thinking a Toni Storm vs. Mercedes feud will move more tickets and PPV buys. Right now they are at about 14,000 sold. Not a terrible number but for that stadium to look good they are going to need to get up around 30,000 in attendance. I'm not saying people should care about the business aspects and I'm not saying Hayter can't sell tickets, I'm just saying what Tony might be thinking and I don't think it's "Wrong" to think that.
  13. Yeah, I'm not going to bother about DoN because whenever I see someone call Mercedes "Hogan" I know they aren't a serious poster. Her and Harley Cameron are real life friends and Mercedes trained with her. That's likely the reason why they were in a small program together and Harley said herself on Jericho's pod that Mercedes is the one who came up with the idea for "Mini Mone'" and asked Harley if she could do it. Mercedes never had a title reign in WWE longer than like 30 days. Maybe the SD! one during the Covid Era but that's about it. She ALWAYS put everyone over... all the time. It was also her idea to work with Bianca Belair at WrestleMania and Bianca just had an interview the other day raving about Mercedes and how Mercedes wanted to make her look great in that match and led the way. Mercedes is selfless, sometimes too selfless and almost every woman on AEW's roster and WWE's roster get along fine with her. Willow and Statlander were both in interviews recently raving about how much they like Mercedes and how awesome she's been with all the ladies there. So I'm supposed to ignore all of these interviews and facts from people in the industry but believe random people on the internet that she's some Hogan type trying to bury everyone? Lol.
  14. Sounds like you're the one with the agenda. Hayter has already been a world champion in AEW, the situations wouldn't be comparable at all and AEW is building to their biggest show of the year. I don't know which way it's going to go but I'd need to hear why Hayter should win and not Mercedes before I engage further.
  15. What would make me happier is a clear story arc or clear direction to go along with some depth to her character. What's my "agenda"?
  16. She's been taking random losses all over TV with no buildup, we've seen this story before. They don't book the Rhea's and Charlotte's of the world like that or now Vaquer, you know when HHH wants to protect someone, we know his pattern.
  17. Triple H is salty about AEW destroying NXT in the ratings all those years ago and Nick Khan is probably salty over not being the richest "Khan" in America or some other lame shit.
  18. Triple H is doing a great job of turning Giulia into just another wrestler.
  19. I'm tired. Everyone is gone now, time to relax. As I think about what I just watched, I'm left cold. There wasn't anything "bad" on the show but a lot of it was so uninspired. It all feels half-cooked. Even Cena's heel turn is half-cooked. I quite enjoyed some of what Orton and Cena were doing and the crowd reactions made it feel even better but by the end I was ready for it to be over. I'm so over the overbooked, interference bullshit WWE has been doing now for the last 3-4 years. I think it started with Brock and Roman and them even before The Bloodline Saga. Then Bloodline turned it into high gear and it was cool for a while. But now it's every fucking show, now Cena is doing it. Who is going to show up at Saturday Night's Main Event to help him? Vigilante? Guy Gardner? Vin Diesel? I'm over it.
  20. This was a fantastic crowd reaction.
  21. That was.... a show. A great show! There wasn't one thing that blew me away but there were a lot of several things that added up to being great entertainment. Whether it was MJF and The Hurt Syndicate or the women's fatal 4 way or Okada/Knight or the Mercedes and Hayter brawl. Good TV.
  22. I guess they didn't put the Logan Paul match on here officially after it was rumored and they had that segment. So maybe it doesn't happen.
  23. I thought they might have Ospreay go over Mox because he is so over right now and 'Forbidden Door' is in England so he'd main event that show as champion. But the more I think about it, I'd rather see Hangman conquer Mox and Ospreay could maybe face someone like ZSJ at FD?
  24. Is Alberto popular in Mexico? It feels like such a risk to keep him around with little reward. But maybe I'm wrong and he's a big deal down there.
  25. There's still a lot of crossover obviously, myself included, who watch WWE and AEW but I do feel AEW fans are more appreciative of the details in the ring and less caring about some "moment" The Bloodline Saga had every WWE fan conditioned to have one eye on the entrance ramp. It was cool for the Roman story but now it's all anyone wants and it's not for me.
