I think the solution to people's issues with Sting's last match is to just have him finally put someone over before his last match, sneak in a match against Darby or Starks/Bill, whoever could use said rub. Then you can have said last match be a celebration, a car crash, whatever Sting wants and not have that years long bit of tension hanging over it.

You all are thinking too small re: a time machine and finding opponents for Hulk Hogan. ...I'm snagging Goliath, brother.

I remember as a kid in the early 90s I was at a local roller skating rink and me and my dad kept looking at one guy skating around and asking each other "...is that Undertaker?". I am pretty sure he wasn't as in retrospect I don't believe he'd have been tall enough (also the roller skating part), but to this day I'm still kinda bummed kid me didn't have the courage to go up to this stranger and ask him if he was.

I'm fine with Joe getting a gold watch title reign, but I hope it is a shorter transitional reign as '24 Samoa Joe is not who I'd put in this slot at all. Promos should be good at least.

So... Tony sweeps in and steals the "most delusional wrestling claim of the year" award right before the deadline.

Man after the prior two years where my first choice was a disaster and the one I didn't go with was the clear better option... well let's just say I'm glad I didn't boff this pick too. Glad you are at least better enough to drop by to do this and this has been my worst year for music in ages with virtually every album I looked forward to or tried being a swing and a miss, so not having to figure out how to pick a best out of this bunch just yet is actually a blessing

I feel like if anyone liked Sammy Guevara they'd be complaining about him being the worst booked man in wrestling, but it is happening to him so people mostly shrug their shoulders.

Now people hate to admit this... but we may need to accept that some of the at the time considered baffling WWE releases weren't. We all thought they were nuts for dropping Black and particularly Lee so early into their runs but if it turns out they just had more info and felt that there was only so much time left to get full use out of them and it wasn't worth it with younger people in their system... I could see not agreeing but it is at least a fair conclusion to reach.

I think most would agree that this trios run has just done the Acclaimed no favors, the sooner they drop the belts and return to being just a regular tag team the better it'll be for everyone... well everyone not named Billy Gunn I guess.

This feels very unfair, it's at best a coin flip whether AEW is running a tournament of some sort in any given month or not >_> Also the story with Orange and the international title was the run gradually breaking him down and how long he can possibly keep it up, with Gunther it is who can possibly stop this unstoppable champion.

They thought he was almost done as he was on the shelf for the better part of two years with concussion issues.

They say the best characters are just yourself turned up to 10...

I think a mid-level heel getting himself entered into a beginners tourney to get an easy win kinda works FWIW.

Maxxine had a very "you don't get to wrestle on TV anymore" kinda match, it appears she simply doesn't know how to be slammed and while it is impressive they've avoided that this long she's clearly lacking certain basic skills one needs for this job. I don't know what to do with the fact that Bronson Reed and Ivar are now the two best wrestlers in the world but they are the only ones who realized you can just finish off of something like a massive hurty looking superplex so it is the only conclusion I can come to.

I'm just gonna keep answering Fonzie vs Beulah to this question until someone makes me stop.

I mean I wouldn't be reading the stuff written after he left anyways, kinda curious if that point works as a solid "end" or not.

Quick question I assume someone here would have an opinion on: with Hickman's X-men run I know he left earlier than he originally anticipated, but does his run still work as a self-contained story or is it basically only the first act or two of a larger story that isn't ever gonna be finished?

Samael hasn't been in MLW for at least a couple years now.

Odd to see Jey Uso's "Yeet" shirt blurred out on vids from last week, I assume something has come up.

If you watched the Nakamura/Muta match him being able to do the mist now makes a ton of sense...

They made a huge miscalculation when making this game (besides the dev time likely taking a year-plus longer than intended): they somewhat wisely realized they could only get the base of something worthwhile done for the first game; the issue is that they mistakenly believed they could deal with that as DLC and in truth they never will, the game needs a sequel and any effort spent on DLC for a dying (as a long tail experience) game is reducing the chance that said game ever gets made. Release some character packs but all real development needs to be spent on a full new release built entirely atop of what's been established, it is literally the only path to where everyone wants things to get.

I think we just need to accept that Ibushi's time as a top wrestler has come to an end and he's mostly just around to have fun with his longtime friend. I'm sure he'll still drop himself on his own head because it is hard wired into him, but I think it is better to approach him as a "hey, it's nice to see him" guy as opposed to a "can't wait to see his match" one moving forward. I am this close to writing the same about Malakai Black as a singles, but I still have a shred of hope; I think I wrote the same about Keith Lee earlier this year. Just because some people go deep into their 40s without dropping off doesn't mean that everyone is going to.

I feel this undersells things, Becky may have put up the worst Jeopardy performance of all time as through the first 60 questions (Celebrity Jeopardy has 3 rounds totaling 90 questions, regular Jeopardy is 2 rounds for 60 total) she got zero correct answers, which may not have ever been done before. This is why they will never let a wrestler do this again.

N/m, was just an issue on my end.

I mean Paul Wight's knees were visually shot to hell... five years back now? I recall him coming back at some point on Raw, wincing having to walk up the stairs to the ring and audibly yelping in pain when grabbed for a double powerbomb when he was up on the second rope not because of the impact but because of his legs having to bend more than he likely expected. I likely mentioned it on that weeks' Raw topic on this board, I don't know why multiple promotions now keep putting him out there but they really shouldn't, he's done his time.
