    "And which DVDVR poster thinks Nick Hausman should die? You guessed it.. Frank Stallone."

    And this time, it's almost ironic, since you would have to think that Frank Stallone would more about "Stayin' Alive"!

    God. I mean we all know he loves belts but that is just the nadir. IT'S CALLED A TRIPLE CROWN FOR A REASON DAMMIT.

    Yeah, first defence after the tournament and an exhausted Eddie drops the NJPW Strong OW title to idk, Takeshita? Oops, there goes the prestigeous North American Triple Crown. Maybe, just maybe they meant to say "collectively", instead, but made a mistake? Let's hope.

  3. Due to all the eating done during the holidays, I can barely gaze at my navel at the moment, but I agree AEW is still doing fine, despite not being what it once was.

    Match wise, this year was crazy, the PPV's were mostly insane, many different styles of awesome each time out.

    Continental Classic ruled, so many other good things throughout the year.

    I need to find a way to keep seeing the shows without delay, to keep the enthusiasm up this year too, if DAZN no longer carries AEW. Triller TV to the rescue, please?

    deal ended on Jan 1?
     

    That has to be it, obviously, but there has been no notification or anything. At least FITE/Triller was decent enough to notify of the current 30-day delay on all AEW shows (save for PPV's) more than a month in advance. This once again puts me in a spot where there's no way to watch current AEW on a couple of day delay. Of course, there's enough to watch without it, but not a great start to the year, once again.

    We don't know, that's a brand new feature that was only added this month. The email I got saying "You have access to old PPVs now!" was sent on Decembe 17th.

    Sucks to be me, who has AEW+, but also PURCHASED every one the free PPV:s in the past two years. But for everyone who hasn't seen some of these, there's plenty of awesome stuff in there!

  6. It's New Year over here! Let's hope 2024 doesn't suck as much as this decade has so far. 2023 was not without merit, but holy shit, could we please have a decent one while my last good years are still winding down!?

    Everyone out there, have fun, stay safe and alive, appreciate life and people around you, while they are still there! This is a good, fun place. Let's keep it that way! There is still hope, even for wrestling (fans)!

    The NWO was the only group to figure out how to win with the man advantage in Wargames.

    The secret is making sure one extra guy from the other team abandons them mid-match.

    The Horsemen w/ Larry had the advantage and also won in '91. Pillman who was banged up before the match was also the man who ended up losing due to stoppage. But if you are referring to an actual one man advantage the NWO team had due to Curt turning, then yes absolutely. That was a first.

    Booking idea: You're building up a Wargames match. You do the thing where instead of a coin toss, the man advantage is determined in a match on the penultimate show. 

    In that match, the heel is DQed for weapons use immediately, and the heels beatdown the face until his team make the save yadda yadda.

    Later, the rest of the heel team are freaking out on the guy who got DQed and complaining about not having the man advantage. He responds by saying that if you study wrestling history, the team with the man advantage only goes on to win the match 12% of the time, whilst losing the man advantage means you have an 88% chance of victory. So he's actually the smartest guy in the match for figuring that out, and we already did our damage to that guy we beat up earlier anyway.

    Along with the percentages backing his theory up, the first time heels won a WarGames match, it was by beating the guy they had weakened prior to the match. Incedentally, this also happened to be the first time the team with the advantage actually won the match in the end.

    Winning isn't dependent on the entry advantage, as much as it is dependent on overall strong team and a smart order of entry. These days it also seems to be about what kind of weapons you bring in with you, but it wasn't always like that.

    Watched Dynamite this afternoon and thought it was a pretty solid episode. Really, really enjoyed the Moxley/Swerve/Jay three way match. Tons of action and lots of brawling. Probably one of my favorite matches of the tournament! Danielson and Eddie was a really good match too and the Moxley vs. Eddie final on Saturday should be really, really wild. Interesting to have the ROH Tag Titles switched to the "Devil's Masked Men". I want to think that it could potentially be the Kingdom under the hood based on the piledriver move off the middle rope they used to win the title. I think the Devil could potentially be Adam Cole but honestly, who knows.

    There were people convinced on Reddit that the masked men were The Kingdom. I'm saddened by this, since Taven and Bennet seemed so sincere when backing Roddy.

    One of the most awesome things I have ever hear in wrestling was when Eddie said back in 2020 that he's going to take the AEW World title to his mom and say "This is why you don't have any grandchildren!" NOW he finally gets to do it! I believe it!

    is there a market for a woman's wrestler working in 2000 Meng pants so that they won't have to worry about public wedgies working in shorts (extra points if it's heel who is just tired of all the internet perverts posting shots of her big ass onto the internet)

    Not sure about market, but I'm pretty sure Marina Safir could pull that off with only marginal change in her presentation.

    Go on to see Mum Christmas Day like we always do to find more tire tracks and dog shit on my Mum's final resting place. Inconsiderate twats. Self-harmed as a result. Me, my Dad and my Sister are individually going to put a complaint in. Fucking awful.

    Listen to  @Kang He has the right idea! That was really F'n awful and you have every right to be absolutely upset about that, but you are worth more than harming yourself. You are a wonderful, good person, please stay safe.

    As I said in the other thread, if Cole is still hobbling around on crutches (based on the new Da Party video), I'd think he's still a way away from returning. 

    Sadly, this is probably totally correct. Although that could have been the reason why Cole hired other people to help MJF at the very beginning, because he was hurt and couldn't do it, then someone else took over and he wasn't aware of it.

    Gotta love the honor system of the two CC matches on Wednesday

    ”only you can cheat, no cheating by people not in the match”

    I thought about that and yeah, the weapons kinda cheapened the "may the best man win" code of honor, because anyone can get lucky with a weapon shot! But that didn't come into play, fortunately.
