  1. Either the joke went over my head or I have no idea what you mean Unless the joke is regarding the word "perfect," in which case well done!
  2. A lot of dudes who are meant to be Mr. Perfect think they should actually be Shawn Michaels. I get it, we all are our best advocates and want what we think we deserve, but there's no shame in occupying a lower position and excelling at it.
  3. Collision was chugging along so well until Jericho came out, but aside from that and some Wrestlecrap fodder in the main event (specifically the bit with Sonjay), but all in all it feels like we're on a roll
  4. Still got all that hair - good for him! I've never doubted the man for a minute, not with those punches.
  5. I wasn't trying to come in hot, we're all good. It's just an odd trend on here lately with some people who seem to suggest that AEW are the ones doing a bad job when it's actually the poster who wasn't paying attention. We all view the world through our own lenses, but we shouldn't think that our perception is a blanket fact for the rest of the world.
  6. So you're equating your own personal unfamiliarity with somebody, to a whole company not advertising them correctly? I can assure you, anybody who's been aware of the former Sasha Banks - which is a very large portion of the US wrestling viewing population - can see the extremely obvious branding for what it is.
  7. They didn't hint at Punk nearly as blatantly as they're doing for Moné and that was a smashing success. I just took a look at tickets available for Bos(s)ton and they're very, very limited and quite expensive. I really like the approach of, "we're not gonna say but... well, you know" and it's clearly working well for them. We're leagues past The Butcher & The Blade. Could Okada's debut been hyped more? Sure. Would the kind of people who'd pay money to see Okada NOT be internet dweebs like us? I highly doubt that.
  8. With no knowledge of what either scenario would generate in dollar-bucks, I wonder if the reason they continue with the surprises is to have their monetized YouTube vid of the debut get a bajillion views. I know I've watched AJ showing up at his first Rumble an absurd amount of times...
  9. I'm not usually one to harp on videogame-style matches but like... if you're not gonna suddenly put Fletcher in the main event scene, why the hell is he kicking out of SO much of Ospreay's most dangerous looking shit?! It's one thing with Takeshita because he's got an aura of "could be THE guy" to him, but Kyle, bless his heart, isn't in that category even by the standards of most AEW smart-mark fans. Mutual respect aside, it was a very odd choice, and if HE can endure that much, somebody higher up the ladder should theoretically have a much easier time beating Will.
  10. The whole opening segment told a really solid story, specifically with Swerve showing Joe to his face that maybe he IS better than the champ. Way good. Stat just ragdolling Riho was killer, and Riho looked like she put a little more snap on her offense. I'll take a best of 5 plz. Lots of other stuff. Really all around solid show. Rampage doesn't look thrilling but Collision has some good stuff. Oh yeah fuggin OSPREAY v DANIELSON
  11. Oh fucking hell, here we are talking about Jack and thinking maybe he can get over the suckiness of the heel turn, buuuuuut (NJPW spoilers)...
  12. Oh, totally agreed, he's absolutely a thousand times better as the plucky good guy, but the leather jacket doesn't negate what came before it.
  13. Yeah it seemed like Jack was pretty fucking popular here and elsewhere up until the gimmick change and the unfortunate shit with Punk and Wembley. The way certain people have acted like he's been garbage the entire time is kind of hilarious.
  14. The names I see the most as far as rock/metal bands that seem to be somewhat mainstream popular are Ghost and Sleep Token, both of which do goth-y imagery. Shit, you've got a whole generation of kids who worshipped at the altar of My Chemical Romance. Plus look at Wednesday, they stuck with that goth aesthetic and still had a mega hit. No need to have updated The Addams to be more in line with what's hip and popular. People like dark and spooky and that's like 3/4 of what did the heavy lifting for The Crow.
  15. Sorry, best thing I saw to describe the look and today's winner of the internet: "Posthumous Malone."
  16. Can Hollywood please get a tattoo consultant for movies? You know, somebody who can step in and say "WOAH WOAH WOAH we're not going for SoundCloud rapper, this guy's a gloomy rocker type, so let's think more NIN lyrics and some Poe imagery, and it's gotta look like an actual professional did the work." I'll gladly take the job and a million bucks plz. Edit: just noticed the eyebrow tattoo. Fuckin brutal.
  17. I feel like some of the places I've seen it posted were definitely looking to stir up controversy, but I get what you mean.
  18. That seems to be all over the place, always leaving out the context of why - this Reddit post was pretty wonderful so I'll just c&p:
  19. I actually thought he was very funny in that movie but a few other bits aside (Iggy Pop zombie needing coffee was stupendous!) I absolutely haaaaaaated it. It easily could've just been a quick closeup of Jim Jarmusch saying, "Zombie movies are fucking stupid," and it would've saved me the additional 103 minutes of my life.
  20. Many years ago, my former in-laws brought my ex-wife and the kids to a buddy's house, the kind of guy who has a gigantic property so he gets a few bonfires going and makes a bunch of food and invites a ton of people over and it's just a good old time outside in the early fall in New England. I stayed home because there were shit to do around the house. When everybody got back, they mentioned a couple old-time wrestlers were there, and asked me if I'd ever heard of Mad Dog and The Butcher - turns out my father-in-law's buddy went to an autograph thing the day before and asked both of the elder Vachon's if they were going to be in the area for a little bit and wanted to come by the cookout and they actually said yes and showed up! Apparently they were a big hit and everybody had a good time hanging out with them and my dumb antisocial ass was at home cleaning toilets. Anybody who says they have no regrets in life is full of shit, let me tell you...
  21. Now DVDVR is gonna have ragebait posts?!
  22. Did not know this was a thing, even if we recently got their ice cream out here in the stores and it's fucking stellar. The hunt will begin at dawn.
  23. Helldivers 2 doesn't interest me in the least but I'm still super happy that it's going over so well with a huge chunk of the gaming population. I felt the same with Baldur's Gate 3 - I love seeing people enjoy something, I guess?
  24. Oof, I forgot about Darby's face tattoo. Really, really not a fan
  25. Well that came out of fucking nowhere, even if it does tie directly into the Kingston fued. Holy shit.
