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

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 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?

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... -
A Sincere and Well-Intended Open Letter to AEW
username replied to Gordi the former AEW fan's topic in ALL ELITE WRESTLING
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. -

I hope now that the payoff happened this MJF/Acclaimed thing can go away as Max Castor basically being a creep/borderline sexual harasser is something I'd rather not be a thing any longer. -

I feel like Danielson felt like showing he could do a worked injury thing and make it work with Okada after the last time was a disastrous ad-lib, and it still just doesn't work and he should accept that. -
So I don't know what has changed but this has gotten dramatically worse over the past week or two, it used to be this happened on some longer threads but now it is happening on virtually all of them.

Apparently multiple people on the undercard were hiding staph infections from the doctors so they wouldn't be pulled from the show, I don't want to argue for people losing their jobs but given neither of them are in any way important it'd be a solid way to nip that shit in the bud.

I feel like this is potentially a very big deal but we won't know for a bit. This is a very aggressive move from Ari/Endeavor right out of the gate and I wonder if it is a one-off or a sign of things to come. I know the old thought repeated often when AEW was starting up was that WWE was basically a sleeping giant with Vince in charge one that has managed to wake up a bit over the last year or so (oddly right when Vince was removed from stuff the first go around), if Endeavor is gonna be heavily involved they seem to generally run a smart shop so... I don't know, it feels like it could definitely end up being something. -

This is genuinely lovely but I have to admit to doing a double take when I saw he put his kayfabe name on it.
