  1. No, I'm sure AEW will be around as long as there will be people watching...in general. I'm pretty sure there WILL be next 5 years, 10 might be pushing it, unfortunately.
  2. If there would BE a 5-10 years form now, in general, then absolutely.
  3. And here's the actual update. Well-rested after last week's single workout, I decided to go full blast, since after this week, I get two whole weeks off from work. Monday started with a light but intense upperbody assault. I was able to do a few sets of ten pull-ups with bodyweight only. The right arm held up nicely, but I could feel it getting sore by the third set. Did reverse shrugs with bodyweight only between pull-up sets, then chest flies, lat pulldowns and push-downs with the resistance band. Other stuff included curls, shrugs and side and rear delts and abs Tuesday was the actual Trapbar workout. I did 8×224, 7x335, 6x434, 5x455, 3x478, 2x478, 4x455 and then a bunch of shrugs and abs. Wednesday was bench day, but I did the 2x490 and 2x501 on the trapbar since we found a new way to load the bar a few pounds more. Bench was as follows 3x132, 5x220, 5x242, 3x264, 1x275, 3x286, 3x264, 2x264, 7x242, 8x220, 10x198 and a 4 set 10 second rest-pause combo with 132: 25, 7, 5, 5 (so 42 in total). Shoulder work, curls and abs completes this day. Thursday. Since I didn't use extra weights on Monday, so I did dips and reverse shrugs here. 4 sets with 66 lbs, then one set each with 44 lbs, 22 lbs and bodyweight. I did dumbell rows with the 70 lb kettlebell, 3 sets of ten with each arm. After this, more shoulder work and curls, pushdowns and curls, then abs and that was that. Today was leg day 9 sets of squat machine in total. On top of the rack itself and two short resistance bands, I loaded the machine like so: 110, 220, 286, 330. I did 1 set with each weight until 330, did 3 sets with that and then one set each going back down. I did set of calf raises between each set once I hit 286 on the way up. On top of the usual ab stuff I did 3 sets with the power wheel for the first time in a good while. So, yeah. That was my workout year 2021, as it is very unlikely I'll be going to a gym for the next couple of weeks. Home workouts are not out of question, but I need to rest my body now and gain some mass for next year. If something happens, I'll tell you about it, as usual. Oh, and the entire week's soundtrack was Synthwave, Midnight Danger in particular, for most of it.
  4. Yeah, who ever is the champ when Ivy gets her first crack at it, they are going down! Bron is making this wrestling stuff look pretty simple. Look bad-ass, do bad-ass things, say bad-ass stuff and back it up. They have already given him a loss, so there's no "what then?". He's not really squashing anybody. He's having competitive matches and for the most part, coming out on top convincingly. Him being a star in NXT like this is a given, but if something similar would happen with him on the main roster, he might actually get over there, too. Then they will probably fire him, but he's got everything to make it!
  5. If you think HHH is miserable now, just wait when THIS happens. I fear for his heart if that ever comes to pass.
  6. I'll put out a more detailed recap of my week, but I just wanted to inform that yesterday I cleared 500 lbs for the first time in a few years on Trapbar. I did 2x490 and 2x501 just because the other dude was doing it as well. My actual trapbar workout was the day before, so I just casually did that before I started my bench workout. Two more to go, today and Friday. These will most likely be my last two workouts this year. ...Dammit! I just figured out that was a calculation mistake and I actually did 2×479 and 2×491! We need to figure out how to actually get 10 more pounds onto the bar so I can correct this properly.
  7. Just finished watching the one episode that ran for a few weeks on EuroSport. Some of the promotional stuff was edited out of that one and they squeezed in two more short matches that weren't on this version. Those were Jeff Jarrett vs Scott Taylor and Bob Holly vs George South (this wasn't the same match that I saw on an earlier episode on the previous batch). I wonder where those two matches came from? It is possible that the Holly match had JR on commentary, but I'm not sure.
  8. You can definitely see more definition around the bicep, delt, shoulder and trap area, as compared to the previous, similar photo! Way to go!
  9. Does it have something to do with the fact that IF ROH comes back in 6 months, it has still been "dead" for a shorter time that IMPACT that has walked as a zombie/ in a vegetative state for several years now? Now, if ROH doesn't come back at all, then he's making no sense and is obviously talking out of his ass.
  10. That would be like a reverse Von Wagner, who got god knows what from his mom's side! A few folks also wondered how come Rick Steiner's kid can end up being so handsome, when he debuted.
  11. It's funny, because in the 80's and very early 90's, the "more money from merchandising" was one of the biggest reasons to join WWF! Of course, future stars probably won't come from other wrestling companies, so that wouldn't really apply anymore, anyway.
  12. Yeah, that was due to still insisting on cutting his own hair despite smashing all the mirrors in his house, after seeing what Hybrid Wrestling had done to his ears and face, so you know, it still had something to do with it.
  13. And what MLW's intro suggests today (or at least in 2019). Not quite the same thing, but the same phrase, nonetheless!
  14. "Hybrid wrestling, eh? That sounds like a thing that might mess up your pretty face , ears and hair, but I'm sure you'll be fine. Let me know how that turns out for you in, I don't know, 20-ish years!"
  15. Which would be a huge win for everyone involved, aside from the networks that end up airing WWE. Also, referring to Flip's "70% audience at 15% price", sometimes, although not very often, that one meme goes: - Mom, can we have WWE? - We have WWE at home. - The WWE at home: AEW
  16. Well, yeah. I have evidence of that. Not enough to break any patterns, anyway.
  17. What are the "evidence based treatments" that Waltman is talking about? Does that involve someone showing you the stupid shit you did while intoxicated and go "See, You did this! Are you happy now? This was all you!"? That sounds pretty effective.
  18. This is also the PPV that was supposed to have Vader vs Rude for the International World title. I'm sad we never got to witness that! After this PPV, the magic of 1994 starts to slowly fade away.
  19. So, a rest and recovery week, as I only got around to the gym on Thursday night. Trying to get the entire upperbody at least somewhat worked over, I did dips and reverse shrugs with 77 lbs 4 sets and 66 and 44 lbs one set both. Then chest flies, lat pull downs and push downs with resistance bands, some light curls and a set of shrugs with the two 70 lb kettlebells. Then abs and some foam rolling and stretching. Last two weeks have been freezing over here and that led me to feeling like not getting out of the door a single moment before I have to. So at least on one evening I did a bunch of stretching and massage on my neck, which was so stiff it was giving me a headache. Found the problem areas and made the pain subside. Work week was surprisingly good, with most of the problems being technical and not really physically demanding. The freezing weather meant that there was no snow storms so that helped the logistical issues at work. Last night, I discovered another great Syntwave band, called Midnight Danger and made sure to put a bunch of their stuff on my gym playlist. Listened through their latest release while biking home. I'm sure it went faster than my usual winter pace, especially with roads being in decent condition at the moment. My weight is around 180 lbs at the moment, which is ridiculously low for December. I planned being around 195 at this point. There's an actual chance that I won't Jericho myself this year, but after December 17, I won't be back to work until January 3, so there will be plenty of time to bloat.
  20. And then he gets/has a wonderful crop of talented, charismatic big guys who can really go and proceeds to piss away each and every one of them, unless by some miracle they refuse to let it bother them for a decade, like Cena and Roman. And both of those were products of years of "push down the throat"-method, whether the fans wanted it, or not!
  21. THAT takes talent! Yikes! Yeah, you never want to be thinking "I hope I'm not leaving a trail behind me!", either!
  22. Yeah, this is SO next level! Also, I sometimes have a hard time deciding which of my favorite clothes I'd like to wear and this method would solve THAT problem, as well! Just superb!
  23. There sure is a reason why I prefer to run on an empty stomach, you know! Hey, 7 lbs is 7lbs, you have to shed the water weight at some point, so way to go!
