If not, then I'll go with 1991. This sent me down another Wikipedia rabbit hole and it turns out that at least half of the participants of every Royal Rumble are still alive! Of the 30-Man rumbles '90 and '91 are the deadliest, with only 17 participants surviving from each. Next is '95 with 19. The oldest Rumble with all 30 participants still alive is 2009. No one tell my boss what I've been doing. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 you got PlayStation, Xbox and Switch numbers too or are you just going by the only player metric that’s readily available and suits your narrative? Yeah I didn’t think so. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Well, I’ll give you this - at least you came with sources when called out. Although that first one is a little flawed, since you have to add an account to your friends list that then tracks games people play, but whatever. Good on you. Not surprised it’s not on any of those lists. It’s REAL barebones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Wilson Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 To be fair, AAA stretchers out wrestlers if they sneeze too hard. He got knocked in the head during the TripleMania match, hopefully just them being cautious if he wasn't feeling 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go2Sleep Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Random thought of the day: How much better would the AEW universe be if Tony Khan was a huge Robert Rodriguez fan and decided to prop up Lucha Underground instead of ROH? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zendragon Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 LU at the beginning or LU at the end when the cupboard was bare? Does this involve getting a LU on a channel people actually get and broadcasts in HD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish they had TV, 'cause I'd totally check that out. Do they still do a streaming show of some sort and is there anything else on there worth checking out? The only semi-recent thing I saw was some kind of War Games-esque thing that someone posted here or got randomly fed to me on YouTube Edit to mention, just because idk that we all check that folder/thread: while I'm a day one AEW guy I cannot overstate my disappointment in that game. Needs some MAJOR DLC because it just does not have any single player replayability at all in it's current incarnation. The good news is, I saw a recent TK interview where he said it sold well, and they're going to continue supporting it. Just wish it had a little more at launch; you only get one chance to make an first impression. But based on the (admittedly little) I know about game development, I think this one was probably troubled in some form or fashion.

Curt McGirt Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 (edited) They're on BeIn Sports every week! Besides that they also show up on Youtube for free every week too. Here's the last episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gX067M0XQN0&ab_channel=MLW I caught the start of it after Collision on Saturday night. Open has the mat cover come completely loose and threaten to ruin the match haha. I'm not sure if they fix it after or not, I was too tired to go on. It's a Tijuana taping so there is a rusty car hood and a plate of glass involved too, of course. Edited August 15, 2023 by Curt McGirt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakk_Sabbath Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Good look, Curt! I'm psyched for this. I came for the LU stuff but it sounds like they're sneaking a little Zona 23 in the recipe too which I'm down for 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
