Oh man I’ve been slacking on this thread! Trying to remember what I’ve had recently. I know I had a Beer Farm Irish Red (local MD beer) that was disappointing and bland. Troeg’s Nugget Nectar limited release is out now, but only in 12 packs near me, so that sorted my beer for last weekend and this as well. It’s delicious! I actually had one from a frosted glass first, and switched to a room temperature glass after that. Some beers just do not work in frosted glasses, as I find the cold numbs my taste buds sometimes and kills the flavor. I could definitely taste the difference between that a a regular glass. My British pals might be on to with their room temperature beer.

I remember a rumor like 10+ years ago that they were going to do a remake of The Six Million Dollar Man, starting Jim Carrey. The idea was going to be that $6M now doesn't go as far as it did in 1975, and thus hijinx would ensue.
They should do this with the Million Dollar Man gimmick. Re-do all the classic promos, except this time everyone has a way higher price than before, and he just don't have that much cash on him.
A “rich” guy showing up to brag about having millions, only for a good chunk of the locker room to be like “yeah, we’re paid well and we have that, too” would be amazing.

I would have liked it if MJF misunderstood the mission and then spent like 10 minutes insulting Top Flight until they cried. Then he could say, "see? I hurt people too!"

"Should AEW feature more meaningless 5 or less minute matches, which will surely be bad matches, instead of fewer meaningless matches that are long and good?" is a real zen koan. I mean I know I'd rather see actual good wrestling than the 2025 equivalent of 5 minutes of Ciclope vs Mike Enos just to get them on the card. (I know I'll get a few people hopefully unironically saying this match sounds rad) I understand this board skews "old school" but please take off the nostalgia goggles, friends.
I actually feel like @NoFistsJustFlips is sort of making a fake argument here. AEW does have some short matches and squashes already. Nick Wayne just beat RHINO in like 3 minutes ffs.

They were also known as WWFe as a corporate entity at one point, I want to say in the early 2000s.

If the champion is just going to win anyway most of the time, maybe make some of these eliminator matches straight up title matches instead in order to hype up the show.
Eliminator/non title matches really only work if you have a semblance of a ranking system, and then your non-title matches feature the champion vs someone who normally wouldn't get a title shot. Then there's the intrigue of, "what if the #15 ranked (or whatever) person actually wins?" And then, once in a while, you do that. As it stands now, nobody would bat an eye if Thunder Rosa were granted a title match today.

I loved the main, but aside from that, none of those matches went longer than six minutes, and at least two were fuck finishes. The main was less than 14. So it was like 45 minutes of wrestling on a two hour wrestling show. You can't just say "look at these big stars all wrestling each other!" The truth is "look at all these big stars wrestling each other in shit matches that end before they start!" I'd rather have AEW exactly as it is now than an optical illusion of a card like this.

Depending on how you count Jimmy Hopkins (Bully), who can be seen in the background of GTA IV.
Though supposedly his great grandfather is a kid in RDR2, his grandfather is in LA Noire, and he is in Manhunt.
Well now you're getting into that Rockstar Games Shared Universe thing!
Also, I forgot that Laszlo, Love Fist, and Fernando are in the old and new GTA universes.
Checking out the site that @RIPPA linked, holy fuck this game is going to be huge. Just scrolling and checking out the map areas, I'm like "okay Vice City, Keys, Everglades..." then I kept scrolling and saw like 3-4 more areas I didn't expect. God damn.

Credit where credit is due, Max Caster's "Best Wrestler Alive" schtick is hilarious, and it's weirdly getting over. I hope they go somewhere with it. I was dying when Max was corpsing as fans started chanting along with him. He picked the most obnoxious, hardest phrase to chant along with, and fans actually started doing it.
It's wild that Caster is getting this nothing gimmick over, while Bowens is getting boring already, still tied to that albatross Billy Gunn and just screaming catchphrases.

Nitro 12/22/97:
- Fit Finlay vs. Eddie Guerrero
- Meng (w/Jimmy Hart) vs. Steve McMichael
- Hector Garza, Juventud Guerrera & Rey Misterio Jr. vs. La Parka, Psychosis & Silver King
- Hammer vs. Chris Benoit
- Rick Steiner (w/Ted DiBiase) vs. Scott Norton
- WCW United States Heavyweight Title Match: Curt Hennig (c) vs. Disco Inferno
- Lodi & Riggs vs. Harlem Heat (Booker T & Stevie Ray)
- Buff Bagwell vs. Chris Jericho
- Randy Savage (w/Miss Elizabeth) vs. Lex Luger
Thank you for posting this. When I read "it needs to be more like Nitro" my first thought was, "outside the cruiserweights, Nitro kinda sucked. I should go look up a random Nitro to see if that's true."
- Fit Finlay vs. Eddie Guerrero -- might be okay, sounds like a real styles clash
- Meng (w/Jimmy Hart) vs. Steve McMichael - shit
- Hector Garza, Juventud Guerrera & Rey Misterio Jr. vs. La Parka, Psychosis & Silver King - probably decent
- Hammer vs. Chris Benoit - Benoit probably did his best
- Rick Steiner (w/Ted DiBiase) vs. Scott Norton - shit
- WCW United States Heavyweight Title Match: Curt Hennig (c) vs. Disco Inferno - shit
- Lodi & Riggs vs. Harlem Heat (Booker T & Stevie Ray) - shit
- Buff Bagwell vs. Chris Jericho - Jericho probably did his best
- Randy Savage (w/Miss Elizabeth) vs. Lex Luger - probably a fuck finish
Double checking, this was also the episode where the NWO tore down the set. What a shitshow. Yes, please be less like Nitro. The good old days weren't always good.

Was that Phil Cassidy from the original Vice City in the Ammu Nation commercial?
How in the hell did HE survive the last 40 years?
And he somehow has both arms! Unless that's just an Easter egg for the trailer, would that be the first older generation character reincarnated in a new "GTA Universe?" Yes I know some guys who look suspiciously like CJ and they boys make a cameo in GTA 5.

One category @twiztor missed in this excellent breakdown: guys who see AEW as beneath them but want to make some money while they wait for WWE to bring them back. Unfortunately, there’s no telling who belongs in this group until they’re turning down booking ideas, refusing to do jobs, or trying to fight Sammy Guevara.

Ok, anyone got a theory for this?
If I do hammer curls in any format, my arms are even.
Today, I tried doing my hammer curls as concentration curls, and one of my arms is substantially weaker. Like, right arm is doing 30 lbs and the left arm struggles with 20. Any idea what would cause that imbalance to only show up with the concentration hammer curl?
hammer curl in any other format: no imbalance. Concentration curls that aren’t hammer curls? No imbalance.
Maybe it’s a flexibility thing and not a strength thing?
Maybe when you're not doing them as concentration curls, you're unconsciously cheating? I've read that the dominant arm typically has better form in general. Maybe concentration curls are forcing better form and thus exposing how that arm is weaker. Aside from that, I got nothin'.

No Harvey Keitel = Zero Buys.
All I can think of is Harvey Keitel as an unrepentant degenerate gambler, jerking off into the window onto some girls he just pulled over, falling worse into addiction and slowly unraveling in general. Somehow I don't think this will be that. I hope this is a crazy action movie because I love when sequels totally change genres, like First Blood was a story about PTSD and our disregard for vets, while Rambo & Rambo 2 are MURICAAAAA action films.

I thought they might have Ospreay go over Mox because he is so over right now and 'Forbidden Door' is in England so he'd main event that show as champion.
But the more I think about it, I'd rather see Hangman conquer Mox and Ospreay could maybe face someone like ZSJ at FD?
2 hours ago, Kevin Wilson said:That's my hope of what they do but I don't know if that is the plan. I really really like Ospreay *ducks tomatoes* but I don't think right now he needs a title to do what he does. He's the five star match guy, you can put him on the co-main of any PPV against just about anyone and he is going to do this thing. But I don't think currently he has the character/presentation to be the champion or top guy. Doesn't mean he can't down the road, I'm just looking at right now. Page on top doing more storyline/emotion based storytelling with Ospreay/Fletcher/Takeshita/Omega killing it underneath sounds like a winning formula to me and one that can carry them for six to nine months.
Yeah, Ospreay riding in to vanquish the Death Riders makes no sense. He has had no ties to this storyline; he's been mostly in a program with Callis' group. He also has far lesser ties to AEW than Hangman does. Hangman's story of failure, then success, then failure again, then losing his soul, then getting it all back, should end with him winning the belt to defend AEW against the Death Riders. That's a hero's journey. Not "hot act best wrestler in the world that we recently hired from someplace else strolls in for the win."
I said it before, but this is like Tony Stark being the one to end Phase One and defeat Thanos. Ospreay winning is like someone who wasn't in a single Marvel movie, like Beta Ray Bill, Captain Britain, Alpha Flight, or whoever showing up in the final reel of Endgame and saving the day.

Priscilla has a pretty dark past with Darby Allin, right? I could see that being an issue, but if it isn't I wholeheartedly agree.
2 hours ago, just drew said:Ah, gotcha. I can't always keep this stuff straight. One of the news aggregators implied that Elayna might've no-showed an AEW Dark booking around the time WWE signed her. If true, that could be an issue, but TK seems less petty than some other CEO types...
Speaking of prospective woman wrestlers maybe not getting an AEW shot because of old beef with guys on the show...how much of a grudge is Jericho holding with Shotzi? He was pretty butthurt when she sent that Tweet making fun of his Blood and Guts fall onto cardboard.

It feels like such a risk to keep him around with little reward.
44 minutes ago, Craig H said:All of this on the heels of Cora Jade revealing she was body shamed in WWE by her bosses and co-workers. I honestly couldn’t see HHH or HBK doing that now, but I could see some dumb fuck like Road Dogg or PS Hayes doing that.
Everything from a week prior to WM to now has been nearly a dumpster fire. Like, Vince’s business failings stemmed from his insanity and just being out of touch to an unbelievable degree. This is all just typical corporate bullshit and cutting your nose off to spite your face. Someone, anyone there needs to grow a fucking brain to stop the train before it wrecks.
There's no risk here and they don't see it as a trainwreck. This is just how TKO is. They are proudly shameless when it comes to associating with awful people. They'll trot out all manner of garbage and dare you to stop watching.

Didn't they also sign La Heidra, who Vaquer has a restraining order against, as well as maybe some other people who are pals with the guy who tried to kill her?

AEW - MAY 2025
in ALL ELITE WRESTLING

Right, but AEW already does a good deal of the stuff you swear they’re not doing. They have squashes. They have shorter matches. They have different kinds of wrestlers. I can’t speak for everyone, but I argued with you because you’re making a statement that just isn’t true (AEW is stagnant, it’s all 15 minute 50/50 workrate matches).
