All he had to do was keep his head down and mouth shut publicly. Instead, he took every single piece of bait, hung Tony and the company out to dry, and now this. It's essentially Bret and Shawn in 1997 with no actual person to really root for and 100% more Ace Steel. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, wrestling, KISS and the Rocky films are three of my favorite things in life. Thanks, everyone. Co-signed on that! On the topic of the Rocky 3 build and all that, that was my immediate first thought back during it with Ace as Apollo during that promo where Punk was wanting to give up but Ace had to come out and yell at him to basically find the Eye of the Tiger again. Personally loved it and thought it was great hype for that PPV match. Catching up on the last few pages with stuff like the Fabulous Ones beat it, one thing's for sure and that is wrestling will always need more music videos like back then. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenalysis Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 12 hours ago, Elsalvajeloco said: I totally agree with that sentiment, but for a world title match? You need to go off the air with that. They did it and then rolled on with rest of the show. I honestly totally forgot about it by the end of the show. You can't really go off the air with it, as you gotta start them in the expectation you go long. If you start it 5 mins before end of show, folks know something screwy about to happen. Sometimes your pacing has to be a bit awkward to keep things fresh. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you start it 5 mins before end of show, folks know something screwy about to happen. That's why you don't do the MNW thing of going off the air like that. As a Mid South fan, I am surprised Tony Khan hasn't done the standby match yet. At the very least, do the Memphis expiration of time match. That second women's match you guys been waiting for the last 3 and 1/2 years? WE FOUND ONE! Give Miyu Yamashita someone she can kick for like 5 or 6 minutes or have a great TV match with. There are probably folks that haven't been on or had a match on Dynamite in multiple years now. They would probably love to be in that spot. 5 hours ago, Jenalysis said: Sometimes your pacing has to be a bit awkward to keep things fresh. When you're dealing with a world title though and apparently what's suppose to be a major angle, you gotta throw your full weight behind it. Doing it in the middle of the show has the risk of potentially coming off flat, which is how it came off to me. 28 minutes ago, HarryArchieGus said: Also, this, tremendous news day... https://twitter.com/The_MJF/status/1639696508000796673?cxt=HHwWgoCwravSr8EtAAAA MJF needs to slowly turn into Michael Stuhlbarg's Arnold Rothstein on Boardwalk Empire or Michael Lerner's version of Rothstein in Eight Men Out.

John E. Dynamite Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 (edited) I don't know if I'm relieved that the roster's response to the drama is irony and absurdity - Dada didn't stop Hitler (I hope this comparison is also viewed as ironic and absurd). But goofin' on the 'gram is preferable to punches. Edited March 26, 2023 by John E. Dynamite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheVileOne Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 If anyone here personally knows Dave Meltzer, can someone please request he try to stop couching every statement with "whatever" when he's about to say something? Instead of saying whatever, he needs to try and articulate what he actually means because I can't understand half of what he's saying. Observer Radio is borderline un-listenable at this point. It's beyond frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch the press conference scene from Rocky III and it comes across immediately. Morrison never even displayed that in boxing. Granted, they (HBO and his real life promoter Tony Holden) tried their best to downplay his partying (which was his undoing in more ways than one) in favor of this good old, down home Okie boy who just loves having fun. No one was like....movie star. Gina Carano (pre antisemitic scandal) starring in a Steven Soderbergh film is wild too seeing as she has/had the acting chops of a wet cardboard box, but she was a bombshell from a visual aesthetic point of view. Crazy, but you still could see it. Stallone wanted real boxers, Holyfield was offered the Part of Union Cane but didn’t want to lose. Union Cane was played by Micheal Williams who was a real life boxer, also Anthony Tarver is in Rocky Balboa personally I think it’s interesting to watch the series morph from 70s character study to 80 action film with 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
