  1. How this era of Hollywood hasn’t made a spinoff of The Other Guys simply called The Guys with Rock and SLJ beats me. Would the gag hold up for 90 minutes? No. Would it make a truck ton of money? Yes. Aim for the bushes
  2. Dude lucked into DD, in my opinion. I present as evidence the Director’s Cut, wherein Kelly removes all mystery about what’s going on by introducing the book cut-ins or whatever and boy howdy the movie suffers. Anyway, Ken Kennedy was wrestling’s Richard Kelly. Came out strong. Revealed as a mirage. Hurt a lot of people’s careers.
  3. Pain and Gain is a good time, if only because Mark Wahlberg is the most underrated comedic actor of his generation.
  4. Vince never had Moana. Everything else on the Rock’s end of that comparison is gravy.
  5. Julia Hart just straight up shoot stabbing dudes in the head on national television
  6. Oh also, I think I’ve been the low man on Punk on here for 20 years, but color commentator Punk RULES. Best use of him. He’s got some Ventura in him in the role.
  7. I’m not a big fan of critiquing wrestling writing because, I mean, it’s wrestling. But man, this is kind of egregious. Why, exactly, did Cody bring Rock out last Friday in the first place? Like, his character did that. Not The Rock himself, not HHH, not Roman. I mean, what? Unless they covered this somehow at the presser and I missed it, it’s the biggest WTF I’ve seen in a show storyline since Jack’s tattoo.
  8. I need one of those Coach Tony 3am Collision announcement specials to make my AEW week complete after that banger of a show Like announce Vikingo vs Switchblade you coward
  9. If the announcement is what I think, we need Jeff Hardy vs Darby in a “winner gets the rights to jump off the green monster” match
  10. CBS still has the NFL and its share of the NCAA Tournament, right? And CBSSN if you’re into Tuesday Night MACtion (and let’s be honest, who isn’t). I’m not hip on my corporate hierarchies but I think Paramount is free and clear of Disney/Fox/WBD? Wow, if WWE wasn’t aware of this development when negotiating their deal, they have to be pissed. Given timing and UFC’s relationship with ESPN they surely were, but winding up on Netflix while basically the entire sports world goes a difference direction, can’t make them feel great.
  11. The press release doesn’t include AEW under “combat sports”, but I don’t know why you’d enter into this JV and not include it? https://espnpressroom.com/us/press-releases/2024/02/espn-fox-and-warner-bros-discovery-forming-joint-venture-to-launch-streaming-sports-service-in-the-u-s/?fbclid=PAAaZB9m8TN32bMbk_KKbbqRmMvVPVNsBwD74nGQ5Uk9f9A4w22-duxZfA4bc_aem_Ac1sLHwsZtAGvOjReOD7A2kB_OcuVHjXrVc6RB4I1FCpuAKk5SUC0FDASp7KzK5EP5E&utm_source=hoobe&utm_medium=social This could be a very big deal for AEW if this app becomes the center of the sports universe while WWE is over on Netflix Thought 2: how would this pass anti-trust laws? I love the concept of “sports only cable” but seems a little monopoly-y
  12. It would be a fun piece of booking if Sting starts the match as AEW/Crow Sting, gets “taken out in the back” by the Bucks halfway through, then re-emerges as Man Called Sting for the sprint to the finish. This also works vice-versa. Seems only right.
  13. Drew is on the run of a lifetime. He’s one of the best things in wrestling TV so far this year. It’s great because he has yet to tell a lie this entire time.
  14. I’ve never seen a run of “matches I didn’t even know I wanted to see” like this. 2024 Coach Tony is an absolute madman!
  15. Man this is like Chet Stedman pulling Rowengartner for himself in that last game when Hedo comes up to bat
  16. Yeah I agree with this. Cody fans are like…Astros fans. Lots of recent success, good turnout, it’s a good time. Bryan fans were Phillies fans. It’s just a different deal.
  17. My man Trips over here subverting expectations~ like he’s Rian Johnson Night 1 is going to have a whole subplot with Shotzi and Chad Gable traveling to a casino with racing camels or whatever the fuck looking for Keymaker Barry Darsow
  18. Cody’s about to win every young ball players dream the NIT
  19. “Have the most good matches” is such a stupid thing to say.
  20. Drew’s promo was so good, made even better by Punk using every trope imaginable beforehand - pointing at the sign, cutting the most Great Value Hard Times promo imaginable, mentioning the local sports team… Then just “I prayed for this…and it happened.” So good. Punk’s was cheeks.
  21. I don’t at all say this to demean him in any way, but at some point I believe reality has to set in that Punk’s body just isn’t built to be a pro wrestler, not anymore at least. “Skinny fat” jokes aside, I think it’s pretty clear that there’s a physiological thing where his muscles just can’t do the thing his mind is asking them to do. And that sucks. Aging sucks. It reminds me Stephen Strasburg, who while taller had a similar build and had to work really hard to stay thin and muscular. Eventually his body just caved.
