I mean, besides the match being bad, it's three babyfaces, and two of them are acting like assholes. There's no definitive heel.

I really liked this RAW. Gunther covered in Jimmy "Boogie Woogie Man" Uso's blood was awesome.
Kofi looks so evil with no mustache. It's amazing.
The Cena/ Cody segment was great. Usually worked "shoot" promos stink because they almost always cross the line to "All this other shit is fake, but this is real ", which sucks. But they danced right up to the line and didn't cross it. And Cena getting laid out was perfect.The main event was pretty sloppy and contrived. That spot on the floor stunk, it was followed by another flub in the ring, and the ref bump spot was terrible. I did like the double DQ angle with the guest ref. I haven't seen that in awhile.

Bruno vs Zybysko has got to be a lock eventually.

I seem to remember reading that Punk is using that remixed version is because LC get the money for it, and not the record company. Or something similar.

I don't care that they aren't talking about the Rock because he's not needed for the story, to be honest.

My family had just gotten internet during the Oddities run so I hadn't discovered wrestling rumorz yet but 10 year old me knew it was Tenta just based on how he'd plant his hand to lessen the impact on the Earthquake splash he still did as Golga.
I remember in one of the WWF magazines they had a feature called "Fantasy Matchups" or something like that, and they did Golga vs. Earthquake one month as a wink to the "smart" fans.

suspect that's a typo
No, he actually took a dump shaped like a stool. It was a hat on a hat

I wonder if the easy availability of having the ppv on Prime helped. Not having to deal with Triller or BR and the easy impulse of using Prime is why I bought it. And I haven't gotten an AEW PPV in over a year.

I'm loving them doing TV in Europe in front of these super hot crowds. WWE is at a point right now it hasn't been for a long time where American crowds are so hot generally, you can really tell when it's a bad town. It's been decades of everywhere being like Nassau Coliseum and now we're back to going,"What was with this sold out crowd being too quiet?"

Yes, that was the joke. Although, I'm in no way putting down MJF or Hangman, they are my favorites, but I had to get that in there. At least for Tessa Blanchard!
Sorry, bro. Joke didn't connect. I almost never get worked up about shit here at 54 years old, but Magnum/ Tully Starrcade 85 is in my opinion, the greatest match of all time , with one of the greatest builds of all time. So , I totally normally had to say something.
15 years ago, I would have responded with something really mean and funny to me. So, I'm continuing to be in a good space, .....It's why I haven't commented on the AEW PPV I watched on Sunday.

This is like Tully and Magnum TA, if BOTH Tully and Magnum were actually good!
Ok, that's the craziest thing I've read here in years, dude. Tully AND Magnum were awesome and better than 90 percent of everyone wrestling today.

Our local indy is having ID guy Capucina Jones wrestle Timothy Thatcher later this month. I'd be surprised if Thatcher lost.

I can certainly see the appeal of the movie to young girl, especially the determined single vs Big Bad Wolfe storyline.
Actually, they were cheering for her winning matches.
When Mildred is beating men at carnivals was the first cheers. I don't think they gave a shit about anything else, since they got bored and were quietly playing with each other in the side aisle during all the Lifetime TV Movie drama. Well behaved kids at a movie in 2025, who'da thunk it?

Our showing had all of three people; my friend and I and one guy sitting in the front part of the theater. I didn’t see him come in so I can’t give a description.
There were ten people at the showing I was at. There was a guy there with his two like 5 year old girls and they were clapping and cheering for Mildred.

The new Gemstones was a blast. I kinda can't stand Bradley Cooper for some reason, but he's such a fucking great actor.

Sad to say that Queen of the Ring is as bad as I had heard. Bad enough we didn't even want to do a pod about it.
I was out once we heard people using kayfabe terms like face and heel. And it went downhill from there. And all the inaccuracies.
I thought most of the actors were fine, though.
I just got back from it. On the plus side, the performances and costumes were good. The Mae Young character is the best thing in the movie and Kamille was really good as June Byers. I never care about inaccuracies, but I do care about eye rolling cheesy dialogue and the stupid in jokes aimed at wrestling fans. Billy Wolf saying the Razor Ramon HOF line about "bad guys" and the Vince Sr. line about his boy, Vince jr. loving the idea of the promoter being a character, all that shit was awful.

I saw some tweet saying that Jericho must be a political genius because he's aware of the fact that everyone doesn't care anymore and he stinks now BECAUSE he booked himself to be on the pre show bit.
And as I typed that, I'm willing to take odds he says as much eventually. -

We were just talking about the 86 Bash in Philly yesterday. I think Dusty may have painted his face that day, since he teamed with Animal vs the Andersons, since Hawk was wrestling Flair.
I was at that show, as well, and he did. The show I was talking about was 85. The Civic Center Crockett shows were so much fun. Totally wild.
-
I popped during the Cody promo when he mentioned that Dusty was afraid to wrestle in Philly one time so he painted his face like the Road Warriors so the fans would think he was cool. That was at the first Crockett show I went to at the Civic Center. The main event was Dusty and the Warriors vs. Flair and the Andersons.

As far as the Naomi thing goes, I don't want any weird swerves. I like obvious, sensible angles. I knew Naomi attacked Jade when it happened and I enjoyed the slow burn to where we are now. Naomi attacked her, stole her partner and her title, and now it's all come around.

Also, Cena ending his run as a heel is so Pro Wrestling. It's a lot like Mr. Wrestling 2 turning heel in Mid South to make Magnum TA.

Sami is the current day Foley on every level . Including the level that's my top five favorite wrestlers ever. It's currently Jimmy Valiant, Mick Foley, Samoa Joe, Sami Zayn, and Jacob Fatu has leaped onto the list.

I like to wonder if what got Graves sent to NXT was the two weeks in a row where after Gargano turned heel, Graves went nuclear on him in a way that felt real. I remember him saying that the only reason Gargano was popular back in their Indy days, was because he walked over his Dad to let wrestlers crash at his house. And that he was never invited. He dropped some Mid West Indy names that had never been heard on WWE TV before. It felt like there was reality behind it.
Next thing you know he's in NXT. Now, that might also be because Graves was overused forever, and having him on the only show in broadcast is not a bad idea. But I like to think that he actually hates Gargano so much he got in trouble for crossing the line.

True. Unfortunately everyone around here is sick so I was stuck watching by myself and Pat was just bad all night
I caught him bitching about the booing during the show open and it was the cherry on top of the Sundae of me finally hating him on commentary.
It's been a dumb rollercoaster of my feelings about Macafee. I don't follow football so I had no idea who he was when he first showed up on NXT Takeover pre show panels. And he stunk. Totally fucking awful. Then a bit later I checked out that Wargames match he was in and I kinda liked him since he was a heel and that made sense.When they first made him an announcer of the main shows, I loved it. Vince was still there, so the fact that there was someone on commentary who wasn't being produced to death ruled.
All that goodwill is gone. He stinks. Give me Wade Barrett being great and being horny for LA Knight and Pretty Deadly like a "woke" Guy Ritchie character.-

Charlotte got that "Go Away" heat from Chicago that Logan Paul got in Atlanta. And it totally shook her big time. She had no idea how to handle it, while Tiffany was hitting her pre approved "shoot" lines before she got mumble mouthed but the crowd loved her. It was fucking hilarious and awesome.
Unlike most of the folks here, I really like Charlotte Flair and I think she's great. I've seen her live a few times, and she's a star. The Colorado crowds I've been part of always erupted for her.
But this return is the shits. The crowds don't want her. And I'm loath to comment on women athletes bodies, but part of her presentation was that she was tall and jacked. She's still tall.
Its like 1982 Kung Fu Billy Graham, complete with forgetting how to talk.
