Maybe the problem isn’t modern wrestlers not showing struggle enough. Maybe the problem is WWE style.

Dave and Bryan arguing over how much offense Hangman actually got killed more brain cells than day drinking. I actually enjoyed the fact that Hangman got more of the match and won. It shows AEW is willing to play with their normal formula (guy who gets more offense loses) to throw fans off and make things interesting. Also, it got Hangman over stronger for the final.

Great impression but not nearly enough “uh”s after every other word. Like “Ninersuhhhh.” @Niners Fan in CT my friend, please chill a bit. The joke was you’re the biggest Mercedes fan here, that’s all. No idea where implied misogyny came from. PS I think Mercedes is killing it in AEW after a rough start. She’s awesome.

Last time I drove back to MD from Philly for work (my company’s HQ is there) there was a massive storm and an accident on 95, adding THREE HOURS to the trip. Only taking the train from now on.

Loool I had no idea Cora Jade was Elayna Black. I remember she was pretty decent. No sympathy for Strowmann, fuck that guy. Start a Gofundme, you buffoon.

This would be worlds better than putting it on Ospreay. There's no story there. Hangman is an original and is the heart of AEW.

I was like 14 or 15 at the time and yeah, Muta was the shit. Why WCW elected to go with a stupid ass round robin tournament for Starrcade when a title match between Flair vs undefeated Muta was right there I have no clue.

Not unexpected nor mad at it...Rockstar doing Rockstar things. GTA 4 slipped by a year, GTA5 by a few months, RDR2 about a year and a half. I wouldn't be surprised if "May 2026" became "October 2026."

Can anything be done about this issue? I can't remember when it started, but every time I paste a link into a post, the post disappears and the screen automatically scrolls to the top of the thread.

Minus either a remote control slo mo spot or thumb in the butt train. I miss PWG but I don't know if it'll ever be back, nor if there's really a place for it anymore. I mean I have a place for it and would pay for every show, but how many lunatics like me are out there? PWG revived my love for wrestling in 2010 when, after 25 years, it hit me that I wasn't really digging it anymore. I found PWG at that time and was blown away, and it only got better from there. I'll always have time for PWG.

Excalibur yelling "YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO TO RESEDA FOR A MATCH LIKE THIS" in the opener really got me, man.

I'll say it was Piper and I was probably 11. I started watching in the run-up to Mania 1, but somewhere between that and maybe the run up to Mania 2, I got tired of Hogan's shtick and got into the heels. I blame Eddie Ellner, maybe. On the Crockett side, it was the Horsemen and Midnight Express.

Plus more mustaches and wood paneling

Thanks! I was only asking half seriously because I can't pass up an opportunity to point out what an insane narcissist Dwayne is.

There's a third way but it involves snakes and maybe water hazards I know your joke was "turn it into pro wrestling or MMA" and that was awesome, btw

Is this movie only going to show Kerr's ascent and his wins or did Dwayne suspend his "my character can never lose fights" edict?

I consider the religion scam part of pro wrestling, though.

I just saw the remake, which I didn't even know was a remake until I imdb'd it later that day. I wish I know the date that @Andrew POE! reviewed it. It was okay, but slow-moving -- it took 40 minutes of setup before the revenge plot actually got going. A lot of it was really far-fetched and relied a little too much on certain things going exactly right for the protagonist. Stretched the conceit of confidence porn to its breaking point, really.

Hopefully he's also growing out his hair during his time off. He lost just a massive amount of his aura when he cut it.

So they've fallen so far and burned their names in pro wrestling bad enough that they're running a money mark scheme outside pro wrestling? If you like movies, think of this as Henry Hill sweating and looking for helicopters, Tyrone C. Love getting his arm cut off, or Dirk Diggler getting into prostitution. This is the scene that shows how far your antiheroes have fallen. How long until they're shilling Hulkster Gold on Fox News? "Selling meat off the back of a truck actually doesn't sound so bad, brother!"

(Shhhhh it’s a moment and the whole point is to go viral)

So apparently Sami Zayn, ultra good guy likable underdog babyface, was fucked with by the new heel group all night, given the “leave Raw and we’ll let you live” ultimatum, refused at the end of the show (the babyface move of all babyface moves!), and the heels destroyed him. Oh, and the fans cheered the heels and begged them to keep the beating going. Yeah, this fanbase. They’d cheer Clarence Boddicker and the gang graphically murdering white meat babyface Alex Murphy because iTs A mOmEnT.

That feels more like completely making up a reason for dropping a gimmick that's not working and going with something totally different, but that's just me. Like if Orange Cassidy lost a title match and came back in normal gear, wrestling like Dean Malenko as "The Technician" James Cipperly, is that an "evolution" of the OC character? Warhorse gave up his meme wrestler gimmick. He didn't tweak it to make it better.
