I like the argument that Vince and co shouldn't be honest about these firings simply "because they don't have to." Going to bat for corporations is weird.

O...kay... So what's your original point, then? You said it would be "harsh" if the company had to be upfront about why they're firing people, but you are also saying you'd be cool with your employer doing the same to you?

Yes because god forbid a billion dollar company be honest about why and where they are cutting costs while the people at the top and shareholders continue to make good money.

...and this is why AEW isn't competition with WWE. One is a wrestling company, the other is a publicly traded entertainment conglomerate. Jericho was correct, apparently.

Not to be shitty but I have to correct this, Conan has been doing a podcast called "Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend" for a few years and apparently this is an offshoot called "... Needs A Fan." But yeah this is the first episode of that and it's fucking cool as hell that Danhausen is the guest!

I feel bad now for being quick to yuck people's yum, glad y'all enjoyed the Bucks but I realized tonight why I generally skip their stuff. Hard to skip the entire first quarter of the show, though ?

Kris Stat looked great and JR said weird shit about her ?

Tag title match went WAY too long. All y'all who think Kenny Omega is bad at pro-wrestling? He's Lou Fucking Thesz compared to the Bucks. Pac and Fenix are were decent but this ultimately sucked. Bucks matches are AEW's equivalent of the Gargano v Cole/Shawn Michaels NXT trash. Rest of the show was perfectly fine TV wrestling.

Ooooooh and we can hide stuff in our library, means I won't have to scroll through all the demos, random free bullshit, and PS+ games to find stuff that's purchased... Now gimme folders, damnit.

Caillou is legitimately terrible. We lucked out and our younger ones were the perfect age for when Yo Gabba Gabba came out.

Best episode yet. My wife, who follows the MCU but has never read a comic, was cursing Walker out as soon as he went to grab that last serum vial. Then THAT ending. Fuck. Two more episodes - and seemingly 3-4 still unknown characters showing up, if the end credit placeholders can be believed...

True but Sony has been extremely indy/small game friendly for a few generations now and the gist of the current "controversy" seems to be that one studio couldn't make one game, while Days Gone - a game that had a pretty mild reception - isn't getting a sequel as of right now. Sounds like a lot of smoke for very little fire.

For real, Sony only wants mega-blockbusters like Kena, Returnal, Sifu, Stray, Ghostwire Tokyo, Little Devil Inside, etc. ?

I would assume the shield thrower just wouldn't throw it as hard if aiming at a human they didn't want to kill. I mean, I can toss a ball to my son without always whipping it at him full force...

Kingston on commentary makes it a must-watch. I could listen to that dude read a dictionary.

American TV this morning had quite a bit on it. 99 years is a goddamn good run.

I got called for jury duty late last year but put up a fuss about covid so they put it off until this July. I'm not super psyched about it but I'm not going to try to get out of it, because god forbid I'm ever on the other side of things and hope to have a decent human being help decide my fate.

I'm sure if you are well off enough that you could even think about spending that much money on video games, you could probably donate it to a local charity.

Having the Inner Circle come out for a promo and then cutting to a commercial break is a perfect example of throwing away TV time that can go to anything more productive. Baffling decision but I guess we need everybody singing that song, right? Rest of the show was decent, skipped the main frankly because I was tired but also I really don't like the Bucks and reading on here it sounds like I made the right choice! The Drake/Allin match was the highlight for me. The last time I saw Drake he was in Evolve and wearing little red trunks that were incredibly not complimentary, so I'm digging the singlet. Everything else was just kind of there but mostly served a purpose. After watching about 45 minutes of raw this week I'm glad we have a wrestling company that doesn't completely fill the screen with needless bullshit, graphics, lighting, etc because it's just ugliest shit and I'd rather see an arena even if it's half empty.

Fantastic country music podcast Cocaine & Rhinestones FINALLY returns on April 20th.

This would take away 99% of R-Truth's arsenal!

I'm not big on the Inner Circle suddenly being babyfaces because they got their asses kicked and then came back and kicked ass. They were all total dickheads before, with the exception of Sammy walking away from everything. Two heel factions fighting works just fine in AEW, so hopefully it goes that way but I guess we'll wait and see. Show looks pretty fucking great, psyched to see it.

Interesting, because with so many matches going through a break, it feels like it's eating up more time on the show despite technically taking less. Maybe it's a formatting issue, or an often mentioned point in that several matches have similar spots throughout the night with dives, out of the ring battling, etc Either way, you could easily shave off a minute here and there, tighten up the matches and in just an additional five minutes per show you can add several promos, hype segments, or interviews.

Cody's a solid mid/upper-mid card dude who presents and books himself as a main eventer. AEW does not have a bloated roster, it's problem is thinking nearly every match has to go over 10 minutes and through at least one commercial break.

I'd buy the first ppv I've ever bought for this.
