  1. Past hour
  2. Gossett is absolutely fantastic in the HBO Watchmen series. I was happy to see him get a showcase at that stage of his career.
  3. I believe there's a clearance issue. Blatant abuse of power to win matches sounds in-line with House of Torture chicanery, and I'm not sure you want that anymore than I do. The logic here is their EVP tags don't carry as much weight as they'd like. I suspect this will be revealed in time.
  4. Fuck, Lou Gossett Jr died at age 87. It's an Iron Eagle weekend, I guess.
  5. Big appetite for wrestling this week led me to a rare viewing of NXT. Kinda blown away by the Dijak v Spears opener. I'd heard good things, and was interested. I've always appreciated Spears as a good hand, but he seemed to transcend that job filing here. The where's my chair bit was silly, but fine. Those overhand chops from Dijak! Spears as good as he was here, should drop the dramatic Chairman entrance. It's corny and doesn't fit him. I skipped to Dragunov v Stacks, and again enjoyed what I saw. Fun seeing Dragunov in a TV match like this. I've only ever seen him in epics. I love his selling and bumping to which this was a great showcase. The Ridge Holland retirement was way better than I'd expected from the little talk I heard. Very natural and Holland completely pulled it off. Ffwd to the Corbin/Bron v Tozawa/Otis Main Event. This Corbin/Bron team is just tremendous. Otis is a fun sports entertainer and good meat man. Fun, fun, fun TV match. Loved the table spot and everything the Wolf Dogs did on offense. Amusing pre-match Corbin/Bron/Good Bros skit. Bron seems better off in a team, but Corbin badly needs a makeover. He always looks so pasty (as discussed) and generic (he routinely sports some of the worst looking ring wear in the game - somebody help him). Perhaps the tattoos look better to others. Lastly, the Prime Target Trick Williams/Carmelo Hayes Videos! This is the future of pro wrestling, and I'm not talking abut the two blue chippers being promoted. All broadcasts should strive for promotional work as good as these. Pleasant surprise from NXT!
  6. I wanna say the last time the briefcase was switched via a match was Mr. Kennedy losing it to Edge, who cashed in on Taker. So, while it's not without precedent, remember, they're in Philadelphia and doing something that dumb would cause a riot.
  7. You definitely aren't wrong, but by the same token, I think there's still something to be said for the conventional wisdom of holding back her first AEW bout for PPV - Id imagine the roadmap looks something like Punk's when he came in (individualized hype for "First Rampage Appearance!!", "First Dynamite Match!!", etc.) ETA: taking the Japan injury into consideration, it's also entirely possible it's a shake off the rust/light duty situation with her for a bit
  8. Harold Perrineau has had a good career, but based on how much he pops off the screen on Oz and his Mercutio being the standout part of Romeo + Juliet, I’d still say it’s been underwhelming.
  9. Today
  10. The first volume of White Sand, a previously unpublished novel by Brandon Sanderson that he's tried to turn into a graphic novel a couple of times, was OK. There's some interesting world building in there, but the art is absolutely doing it no favors.
  11. That's the one thing this heel turn from the Bucks is missing - blatant abuse of power to win matches. I'm definitely not saying they should be heel authority figures and making matches and such, but they should be leveraging their position to their benefit a lot more. They should have a crooked referee calling their matches calling thing right down the middle Fonzie style.
  12. What did he say when Corbin ribbed him about his head hitting the top rope that one time? "It's kinda hard when you're running 35 miles an hour?"
  13. If AEW is the "workrate" company, then why is she not working? All I hear about her is that she was the best in-ring female the WWE had in forever, and TK hasn't put her in the ring once. Show me her work, or get her off my tv.
  14. My enjoyment of the first 3 weeks of Mercedes Mone is on par with most around here, but ex-Superstars often need time to adjust. Miro was shit upon until he found his God. Some might say it took Toni Storm over a year to figure things out. Go back and look at what ppl had to say about Brodie Lee for the first patch. Mone's week 2 with the video throw was the worst. Week 1 was completely fine. Week 3 commentary wasn't great, but also not worthy of the degree of shit. When she's finally cleared(?) and able to lace up the boots for a bout I'm pretty confident this shitflinging will subside.
  15. I feel Moné is being set up to turn heel pretty quickly. The obnoxious business speak and focus on herself and her accomplishments, and fuckin with our beloved Willow? C'mon, that's not good guy vibes at all...

  17. Another 7km run and 1km walking this morning. The roads are not yet in running condition over here, at least not completely, but I take what I can. Even an occasional run before the beginning of May gets me closer to the actual running shape I need to be in for this year's cut. Mentally, I don't feel like I'm ready yet for that madness once again, but it's still a month or so away, so I have time to get adjusted.
  18. The D-Backs dropped 14 on the Rockies in the third inning Most franchise has scored in an inning and the most runs scored in an inning on opening day since 1900

  24. Could the Rock's Bloodline steal Priest's case and cash it in on a newly crowned Cody so we leave WM with the Final Boss as champ? Not that I'm putting that out into the ether or anything, I just wondered if that's a thing that could plausibly happen? I'm not an avid WWE watcher so don't know.
