Respect. I think Ali did the same last time as well.

I think about this a lot and how it flies in the face of how WWE does things. A generational talent could get signed tomorrow and he/she would spend the next 6 months to a year sitting in developmental waiting to debut on NXT. Then the next 1-2 years in NXT waiting to get the call. If the fans take to him/her add a year so NXT has someone to headline Takeovers. When they do move up to the main roster, unless the office sees you as a top talent you're lucky to get stuck in 50/50 midcard hell. It's a process that is pointless and actually hurts the chances that the generational talent will ever become anything. Meanwhile, AEW comes out of the gate with a Darby Allin type and with a simple message; he's young, he's exciting, and you should care about him. He jumped through 3 years of b.s. and if by unlikely chance he is that generational talent he has the opportunity to get noticed as one.

Well I guess all he could do is laugh

The just did the pilot and then forgot about it because that’s what happens with their good ideas

Nobody. Circles. The. Wagons.

I can’t stand when they slap their thighs to create sound.

One of WWE's greatest ever shows.

Jomboy's salt is real. Still better muted than listening to Joe Buck. Fuck Joe Buck.

I literally love Jose Altuve

holy shit

Gauntlet was decent fun, good win for Eddie and I'm glad Sabu still made the card. Taya/Tenille was pretty good though maybe not hitting the great I hoped for. I've loved Taya's reign so I'm glad for it to continue. I believe Tenille was only signed through this show but I hope she sticks around. RVD's turn was shocking, definitely never saw that coming but certainly something different to perhaps freshen him up, could be interesting. Though I liked RVD & Rhino a lot as a team. Elgin/Marufuji was pretty awesome, fitting super finish. Absolutely shocked that Tessa didn't win the X title, thought she was a lock to win it. Great spotfest ladder match there. Moose/Shamrock was a fun brawl, Shamrock looked awesome but the finish wasn't the best. Main event was a war. Kind of surprised Cage retained as I thought it was gonna be Sami's time but at the same time, Cage's reign feels like it barely got going because of the injury time so looking forward to where it goes. Gonna have to kill Cage to beat him after popping up from the Piledriver on tacks. I dig "Hard to Kill" as the next PPV. Eddie had that on his shirt tonight so thought maybe it'd be him and Sami again but I guess Eddie/Ace continues over the X title now. Good show overall. Full results:

So the card this Wednesday is currently... Jon Moxley Vs. PAC Private Party Vs. Lucha Bros - Tournament Semi Final SCU Vs. The Dark Order - Tournament Semi Final Best Friends Vs. Young Bucks And maybe a Britt Baker enhancement match.

That means shit when a moose knocks down your power lines

If you had quoted my whole post you would see a convenience that clearly stated lol

Not like Joe and Roode will be doing anything better on Mania weekend.

The finish is where I usually lose interest. It's all about the workrate in the middle.

Yup, definitely not a kicker's day in Washington

I want a He-Man style cartoon starring Roman Reigns. So many villains from today and yesteryear in the WWE Universe he can battle. Also, a show like Ed, Edd, and Eddy starring The New Day. All the funny characters that appear on UUDD could be kid versions of themselves. Alexa Bliss, Samoa Joe, Sasha, Ember Moon, etc.

So, Kenny....OMEGAAA?

Hey, the WWE did have Katie Vick.

Good on him. While I totally get why guys like Bryan would refuse to go based on their personal beliefs (and I have no argument with that either), this seems a more productive way to do it.

Shorty G and Big E could bring go things to life. If they put Otis and E together: The Nation of Gyration.

How to get back to 1998 or 1985: find a Steve Austin or Hulk Hogan. That's it, that's the whole game. When you have the guy at the top that draws new viewers, and is red hot, everything gets hot. The longer time goes, the more convinced I get that you can't book a company to a boom, you just need that guy. And WWE is specifically set up to not let anyone become bigger than the company ever again. 1999 might be the single worst booked year in WWF history, and it didn't matter because Austin and then The Rock drew people. This year is giving it a serious run for worst booked, and it matters because, I mean, Seth Rollins is no major star whether or not you like him.

Disney needs to buy the company and let Kevin Feige book it.

Something tells me that "Shorty G" is going to become a thing much like "Fetch" did.

He really wants to be my favourite wrestler. Well done.

OOOH Yeah, hold that cup of coffee for the Macho Man, there ya go Mea-[CATHY KELLY] just like that yeah, UNJUSTIFIABLY IN A POSITION THAT I'D RATHER NOT BE IN! THAT BEING THE GRAVE! OOOH YEAH, DIG IT, call up The Undertaker, yeah, BUT LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING [Seth Rollins] COMPARATIVELY SPEAKING TO THE MACHO MAN RANDY SAVAGE YOU ARE NOTHING BUT GARBAGE that's what you are, yeah, and I'm gonna do the thing in the ring, TOO HOT TO HANDLE, TOO COLD TO HOLD, TOO DEAD TO BEHEAD, CADAVEROUS MADNESS, the best thing going in the [WWE UNIVERSE] and you just can't measure up [Seth Rollins], if you want to brawl the Macho Man can brawl, if you want to fly of the ropes the Macho Man can do that too, yeah, and if you want get on the mat and [SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT] the Macho Man can out-[SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT] you too, ooh yeah, the Macho Man Randy Savage is going to make the most of his [Title Opportunity] in front of all these peop-[WWE UNIVERSE] and ONCE AGAIIIIIN, dig it, be the World Wrestling [ENTERTAINMENT] [TITLE HOLDER] OOOOOOH YEAH FREAKOUT, YEAH

He's an idiot with four great creative/business ideas that he rode to a billion dollars and the opportunity to become too big to fail. I'm not trying to underrate the stuff he's done that's been creatively great, but for the most part, he's extremely lucky. He was lucky that most of his competitors were run by people who just weren't business-savvy. He's lucky that any competitors that might have become a threat were felled by outside forces (like Mid-South trying to expand right at the time the oil market exploded). He's lucky that the U.S. Attorney's Office that tried him made a number of mistakes in arguing its case and that he was able to avoid prison. Most of all, he's lucky that he's got a poor product with steadily falling ratings that has value precisely because it is a live product and the networks really want live products that can't be DVR'ed and that have built-in audiences, no matter how dwindling. But make no mistake; he's a stubborn moron. See trying to launch the XFL after it had already failed once and been branded a joke because he thought there was a market in Colin Kaepernick-hating football fans who would watch third-rate football talent play mediocre games instead of the NFL. Or see anything he's had direct control over since about 2005. This dude actually kinda sucks; it's just that putting major shows on PPV, Hogan, The Rock, and Austin vs. McMahon were really fucking genius. If he'd retired in 2002, he'd be basically the Harper Lee of pro wrestling: remembered as great for a very low number of actual great ideas/works.

Whoooaaaaa, this is great. I need to watch more pre-Hulk WWF.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TjEFdHTKI4g Sorry, can't seem to embed from my cellphone. Paul Robinson vs Cara Noir from Riptide's Pride of Brighton.

I clearly stated that based on my own personal experience, having the Network as a channel is a convenience that I don't mind paying a few dollars extra. I also stated earlier that having it as a channel avoids buffering issues. And I think you still bitching about my opinion that having the Network as a channel does kinda sorta make you an asshole lol. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday, pal.

Pat Shurmer is an idiot

Miami get a 1st down on a fake field goal with the holder running from receiving the snap. Fitzmagic then throws an INT. Should have kicked it.

They overhauled their training staff in the offseason and hired away the guy that kept Steve Nash's back from falling apart in Phoenix.

Do recall that the Bills LOST that game. But at least they remain at the forefront of alcohol consumption technology.

Man, the singer from Ghost looks like shit.

It's disgraceful how much promos have completely just devolved over time to where we are now. I don't just mean WWE either, across the board no one has this type of conviction or intensity

I would try to throw salt in its face like Mr. Fuji as a distraction tactic. Otherwise, pray I didn't encounter it first so it was already busy gnawing on the face of someone else. That would allow for ample escape time. Fighting is a last resort whether it's a human being or just happens to be a pissed off, tormented, possibly chemically enhanced and strengthened space baboon that decided it didn't want to be a test subject anymore.

I have to admit, not having Tony Stark be the focus of Spider-Man movies doesn't sound all bad.
