AxB Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 5 hours ago, Ziggy said: choking out someone Nobody was choked OUT. If you're choked out, you're unconscious. Attempting to apply a hold that could be a choke is not the same as choking someone out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Eh...it can be applied either way. Choking someone out is more or less slang especially in America whereas knockdown and knockout are official terms. Also, I guarantee if you choke someone enough and they don't go out, they're still going to be a bit disoriented. I don't use it personally but it's liberally applied cause it's not officially a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLowe Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Stardom head: “Coach Tony, a group of our workers will be in the US for Wrestlemania and NJPW in April. We know you love working with Japanese companies and have some of our former gaijin stars. Would you like some of our women to be on your shows?” Tony: “Absolutely, I’ve been wanting to make this happen for a few years!!! Now let me see where we have our shows that week...West Virginia...(deep sigh)...Kentucky...(deeper sigh)...fuck it, our TV fans will care at least” 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 I believe AEW firing CM Punk was the correct decision. He clearly didn't want to be there, and his presence backstage was a problem. And frankly, I think Tony Khan announcing his termination and doing it live in front of the fans in Chicago right before All Out was also a gutsy move. He went in front of a hostile pro-Punk crowd and laid the whole thing out, and I think that was the best way to address it at the time. Otherwise, the fans could've hijacked and ruined the whole show. Khan addressing it right then basically nipped it in the bud and let the fans get out all their aggression and disappointment about Punk right then. That should've been the end of it. Wrestling fans being what they are are never going to let this go. This is going to continue being a story 25 years from now just like the Montreal Screwjob. You will have this side going with this side, this side going with that side. However, AEW dredging this up again when almost everyone wants to move on did not help. Tony Khan is clearly taking Punk going back to WWE personally. He's taking that Helwani interview personally and it shows. Khan letting everyone know he's shaken by all this and letting it affect his product is a waste of time. AEW used to be the shiny new toy and internet darling. That period is over, and Tony Khan can't stand it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Evans theme was pretty good. The Embassy theme kicked ass too. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryArchieGus Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 I'm not sure if it's the early aughts DV consumer grade camera audio or Gabe in a basement blabbing over top, but regardless of any songs I might like, I'd prefer a little cut up video of the entrances with legal music underneath. Then a cut to either before the bell or prior to the introductions. The silent entrances featured on Honorclub are ridiculously bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coletti Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Cage has been a pretty solid utility guy for the last few years so I have no problem with that. There's a lot by the people I would cut before him and he is far from my favorite dude named Brian or Cage. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Meltzer said that was the case, so you get that section on your bingo card. But he’s also saying there were loud Fuck CM Punk chants the moment Perry got shoved in the video, and I’ve watched a few in-arena videos at this point and all I hear are loud chants for Punk. So, like… I dunno. You’d think a guy who has an online only business and has a live YouTube show would be able to use that platform to verify, but… 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 What does it matter if there were loud **** CM Punk chants? That doesn’t make this show less of a dumpster fire. It’s a weak attempt at a defense by Meltzer for something he knows was garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truist Arena is on the campus of Northern Kentucky University, and is maybe a 15min drive down I-471 from the central business dirstrict. Probably actually closer to the airport than downtown. So, it isn't like this show is in the middle of a corn field. It is is the newest and fourth largest arena in the Tri-state area! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
