  1. They're doing it on TV. It's not like Stock was established on WWE TV under that nickname.

    Didn't see anything about the Vaquer/Gulia match not being title for title, the recap on WWE.com still says it. Seems like booking yourself into a corner so I'm not sure why they bothered with it. We're for sure getting a run in or something. I think a double KO or time limit draw would be fun to see.

    It's going to be interesting to see how they figure out the S&D card (I know we're getting a conclusion to Evans/Page and something with Tony D and his crew vs. Spears' crew) and I assume Fraxiom lose the tag titles), no one really comes across as "next up" aside from maybe the NQCC guys? I mean Saint's just got there but he's got some proverbial side quests to work on

    But I really liked last night's show, wrestling was great and the other stuff was fun to watch.

  2. Considering how they edited the Rosa run-in from Wednesday on Collison, there was a screw up somewhere.

    JR popping in on something like Collision is bad since it's mostly secondary stuff that he's not paying attention to so it's like your really old grandad coming in and making weird out of place comments about stuff which just annoys you. IMO of course.

    The locker room backstage set with the random storage lockers reminded me of those old WCW sets from the B shows.

  3. Agree that Solo and Jacob aren't the same wrestler and aren't trying to be. Solo def has some silly energy to himself and I'd like to see that expanded more.

    I really really like the touch in Priest's entrance when it's the flames on the tron and the camera is blurred and he comes out so you just see his figure. That's some cool shit!

    Found this today from a week ago:

    Appearing on "Busted Open Radio" Wednesday to discuss all of Saturday's happenings, Rosa not so shockingly revealed that she didn't love her interactions wth Bayne, especially Bayne's attitude towards Rosa backstage.

    "I'm not a very big fan of her, because...you come into a new locker room, and you're trying to be accommodating, you're trying to be nice, you're trying to make them feel comfortable," Rosa said. "But when somebody feels like they're bigger, better, and maybe they look down upon you...that really bothered me. It really rubbed me the wrong way. And she's in my home state with my peeps, and everything, and she just comes and acts that way. I'm not cool with that. I'm not cool with people that have bad attitudes."

    Are we certain she wasn't in character for this interview? Because that sounds like it could be a description of Bayne and Rosa's initial on-screen interaction.

    That's pretty much her promo after her first interaction with Bayne on Collison which makes me think "work"

    If you made a Top 10 list of the wrestlers who benefitted most from the pandemic, I think Rosa would have to be on it. Came to prominence in NWA (at probably the last possible moment someone could come to prominence by working NWA) and had a nice little run going at the exact moment AEW lost access to all their overseas female talent and were in desperate need of competent workers to fill out the division and willing to feature a non-contracted talent for a full year to do it. The whole Britt feud does not happen outside of those circumstances and she likely has a very different career.

    I think she would have gotten picked up by the PC and whatever would have happened there would have happened.

    Grew up in a family with both grandfathers running shrimp boats and my dad did for about 10 years. I hate bream. Taste great but too much work to eat. 

     

    Now give me a plate of shrimp and I can peel them fast. But that is a skill I grew over decades

    So apparently bluegill are called bream too? Makes sense, I've had and caught plenty of bluegill and crappies over the years. Tasty, but a bit of work. Buffalo fish are probably up there in terms of work to tasty ratio too.

    I have to say, not liking chicken wings is the single most outrageous thing I've ever read on this board and I remember the original sleaze thread.

    I agree. I hear some outrageous things on this board sometimes, but the anti-wing stance is bizzare.

    I can never get why they were called biscuits. Look more like bread rolls or a scone. To me a biscuit is a thin or thick circular item like cookies or digestives. I suck at describing things.

    Natural, your English is showing friend. In 'Murica, a biscuit is a scone more or less but the fat is either lard, shortening or butter and the liquid is buttermilk.

    So wrestling. I saw that Buddy Murphy posed with Rhea with a crutch so maybe the injury is legit?

  6. Same with always wanting more NXT folks but as far as the main weekly players, we're missing most of the D'Angelo family, Hank and Tank, most of the NQCC, Jazmyn Nix, Tyson and Tyriek, Izzy Dame. The creation feature helped bridge the gap, but with the PS5 version being separate from the PC version I'm curious to see how folks do with those models. I know from goofing around with my face it can be a pain to get that image to fit on a model.

  7. I really liked the opener, Jevon/Page and the 3 way. The womens match was ok but I also was shocked at Roxanne taking the pin but I assume she's getting called up. Trick losing like that was also a bit of a shock but that could have been more about pacing and not expecting that to be the move since he's been using that Impaler DDT. With that said, I wonder if Eddie pulled up on the knee since the timing of Trick getting his leg out from under the strap could have thrown it off.

    The Zaria/Sol segment means we're running back the "tag partners with totally different personalities" thing in NXT again. This has to be the 4th or 5th time they've run it (Dunne/Riddle, Iyo/Zoey, Cora/Roxanne, and Fraxiom kinda).

    That mens scene is a little rough for NXT right now, Can we get Andre Chase back to himself soon?

    i agree with you.  Mox isn't even having good matches anymore.  We are so far removed from when he was feuding with O.C. last year.   Everything they are doing is beyond boring and Wheeler Utah is still a dweeb and Marina shouldn't be booked strong if she's never going to wrestle. 

    "Wheeler Utah" is an amazing auto correct and I'm glad you didn't fix it. Ditto on Marina's presentation, hopefully Willow getting jumped by her last week will lead to something because it's lazy to have someone that's essentially unattackable.

    Man to add to my AEW not being hot point, I just saw the current All In ticket sales. You're in a 45k seat baseball stadium and you've sold 11,500 tickets. Sure we're 4 months away. But tickets have been on sale for 3 months now.

    All that TV money to make them profitable doesn't matter if no one wants to come see your shows. (No one is an exaggeration. 11k is still a lot of people. But they're in a damn stadium. Will they have to move this like Grand Slam??)

    There's plenty of time and nothing announced and as we've seen the AEW big event cycle go, it ramps up the closer to the event.

    He gave us Marina with a briefcase instead. 

    "It's for your own growth, bro."

    Again, my god do they make Wheeler look like a dork weekly. No amount of facial hair and mean mugging is going to fix that for a long long time.

    IMO about Mariah, they kept a lot of her stuff on Rampage and Collison I think to bring those viewers there, debatable if it worked or not. I also think she had a really bad, whatever the opposite of rouge's gallery is for a heel. She had Nyla right after she won the title, a few eliminators versus Queen Aminata and Lady Frost, the Yuka Sakazaki mini feud, the really good Anna Jay feud and ended in a pretty nasty hardcore match, the Mina feud which was ok, Thunder Rosa which escalated to a street fight kinda quickly and then back to Toni. Willow never circled back because she had the Statlander thing and Kris had her Mercedes matches and then has been trying to come back to the light I guess and has Bayne coming up. Hayter came back and had some revenge matches and lost in a 4 way for a #1 contender match and hasn't done much, Britt is not in the picture and Shida hasn't been on AEW TV since the week before Thanksgiving.

    Looking at the non-primary ROH players, there's Kamille (what happened), Emi, Julia, Riho, and Tay who just came back last month. Yeah Mercedes needs to move up a division or something.

    That's wild, because Tito's is like $10 more than New Amsterdam where I am.

    I was at the liquor store today getting a gift for a friend and a bottle of this really nice coconut rum (It's the Planterray Coconut Rum, they age actual coconuts in the barrels with the rum so it tastes like an almond joy but not as sweet) for me and I checked the price of Titos and New Amsterdam. Titos is $17 for a 750ml and New Amsterdam is $13 so a $4 difference. But this is Wisconsin.

    As an aside, when I was in Sister Bay, WI last year around this time and checked out the grocery prices I had big sticker shock. Granted it's the tip of the "thumb" of the state so it's a drive to get there and it's a tourist area but everything was way more than here in Milwaukee and the alcohol prices were the big sticker shock. A 750 of Tullamore Dew was almost $40. It's enough to make you stay sober!

  10. So the Saturday Night All Star stuff last year peaked at 5.4 million viewers but that finished with the Steph Curry vs. Sabrina Ionescu 3 point contest which was hyped up. This year they're finishing with the Slam Dunk contest which doesn't have a lot of buzz around it so who knows how big the lead in will be for AEW.

    Was it a playoff game 2 years ago that AEW  got as a lead in? I remember Twitter had a of jokes since AEW opened with Jericho and he was in a not as fit stage.

  11. Sexy's summer tour problems seemed like a label/artist management issue. Like her management thought she was bigger than she is. They had big arenas picked out for the tour which is odd for fairly new artists (she's been a national act for maybe 3 years now). If her tour was a bunch of venues that were in the 1-3K range it would have gone better. 

    And 1000X yes they need to do something with Def Rebel. The fact that it's a punchline during promos isn't a good sign.

    how warm would Miller Park be with the roof closed in January/February?

    considering how they didn't build that place to host football, it would be available for a Survivor Series, which would probably have better weather than Rumble season

    That might have been what nuked it. I know they've had fun runs inside there before during the winter so it might be ok but maybe not? I've only spent time inside the restaurant during the winter so I can't say how it is on the field.

    EVERYONE keeps going to the Superdome in New Orleans. Did I miss something where they made substantial improvements to the stadium, or is it just more affordable to run and the city gives WWE, NCAA, and the NFL a lot of money to run big events there?

    NO gives tons of tax breaks for events there. Plus it's not a bad way to spend a weekend. Can't stick around there too long though because that city can eat you alive. My last trip was a combo work/fun trip where I extended my stay by another 5 days and the pics I have in my phone from the last 2 nights are insane plus we spent our last day there just laying by our hotel pool and getting some fried chicken from the gas station because that's all we had the energy for.

    Stick Mariah with Harley as two mismatched gal pals.

    Like MJF and Adam Cole… only with wrestlers I care about. lol

    Mariah and Harley actually know each other from when they first started wrestling so it wouldn't be that out of the question.

    I see we've reached another cycle of "AEW has bad build to PPV/big event, but it all comes together by the end" again.
