aaaaand now they’re copyright striking footage of Brawl In and fan shot footage of inside the arena while it aired.

just to be an asshole here… in like two months he’ll be closer to 30 than 23, because he’ll be 27

My brother in christ, Jack Perry is almost 30 years old.

The fans in attendance were chanting for Punk during that footage.

It was a mistake showing that footage.

EA has put Dead Space back on the shelf. No DS2 remake, or new entry, due to low sales of the DS1 remake. At least I got the remake for $2 thanks to Xbox’s “Offers For You” thing in their storefront. And all three original ones still hold up incredibly well, so I can play the remake and then go right into 2 and 3.

The worst part of all this is that Jack Perry is going to be catapulted into a high profile spot with the Bucks and Okada. Brawl In is the best thing that ever happened to him, clearly.

Yeah I'm not so sure about that. Deadpool & Wolverine will probably make $1b or something absurd, F4 will probably do well for them, and Secret Wars is their big chance to do crazy shit and make tons of money, like Jackman’s Wolverine with Tobey’s Spider-Man, and bringing back RDJ and Evans. Phase 4 made more money than all three Star Wars sequel films combined. You might be onto something if the phases were grossing low amounts, but they aren’t.

I haven’t watched a full AEW show in weeks, and tonight probably won’t be the time I break that streak (but that’s mostly due to all episodes of Fallout dropping on Amazon Prime tonight). I can’t WAIT to see the backpedaling Fightful and the Observer do when the footage has nothing to do with Punk. EDIT: What a huuuuuuge nothingburger. It’s exactly as Punk described, and if that is why Tony feared for his life… holy shit bro

I always created my own, and would push Onyx as a top guy.

The worst thing Punk ever did was choke Jack Perry in London which inadvertently led to him being pushed as some sort of outlaw and the next likely member of the new Elite with fucking Okada of all people. I love ya Punk, but goddamnit. Throw chairs at a Young Buck all you want, let your friend cosplay as a zombie and eat Omega’s arm, but you do NOT put the wrestling world in a position where Jack Perry is a key player.

brb boutta go down an NWA Wildside rabbit hole on YouTube like it’s 2003 and I’m playing EWR at 2am on a school night

Let’s just go ahead and get it out of the way - Sapp says the All In London footage is real, not a troll, and he’s been told that by someone at WBD. ain’t no fuckin’ way, but grifters gonna grift

I feel dirty saying this, but… I enjoyed tonight more than I have recent AEW shows.

I think TK said last night that Gimme Back My Bullets was the most he’s paid for a song so far.

Look, I love AEW, but I think we both know the answer to that one lol. Christopher Daniels is wrestling tonight, and is the Head of Talent Relations. Schiavone is a Senior Producer, a commentator AND a “special advisor” to talent (AEW’s own words). Aubrey is a project coordinator. Shawn Dean books extras/outside talent. Bryce does travel (alongside a travel department obviously). Kenny Omega pushes video game companies to their breaking point. People like Dustin, Deeb, Rayne, Moxley, etc are all coaches and/or agents. Jericho is a producer and “creative advisor” (per Variety). Nothing inherently wrong with any of this, but it does seem like TK relies on talent to run the ship alongside him and that can be a problem sometimes (Punk being the perfect example of this, honestly).

but I’ve been told, on this board, that there’s no AEW without Omega, Hangman and the Bucks! It’s even in the name!

As far as I know, TK didn’t say they’d never cut people. He said they’d never cut people, during the pandemic, in response to WWE firing a slew of talent. It’s not like he said this in 2022 when the world was “done” with COVID and had moved on. Also I wouldn’t want to drive from Knoxville to Nashville either. Fuuuuuck that. Saving a billionaire’s company $800 or whatever on plane tickets? Get the fuck outta here.

I believe there was a tube strike for certain lines or something. Either way, he took the tube and an Uber, so I’m not sure how much the strike affected anything.

Just remember that if a Steam game won’t launch, try different versions of Proton. There are some instances of games just straight up not working though. For example, the two isometric Tomb Raider games didn’t work on the Steam Deck for the longest time, but suddenly do now. Another example: the Prince of Persia games are set up for K&M only, so you have to download community configs for a controller or Steam Deck controls. After that, they work great. I love it, I got the 64GB launch model and haven’t looked back. I don’t play it near as much as I used to, but I still love the thing.

Motionless In White is doing Rhea’s entrance. Bayley said today it’s not happening, but did tweet out an official video package of the Iyo feud set to Hayley William’s Simmer.

I like to think I’ve found little bits of enjoyment in everything you’ve given me, even if ultimately I don’t “like it”. I join these Secret Santo projects to watch stuff I’ve never seen before and you’re giving me that, so I can’t complain. You’re more well versed than me, so I’m just giving you stuff I like to ultimately see what you like about it, don’t like, etc. That’s fun to me. But if you give me those French matches I’m definitely giving you a Seth Rollins epic. You’ve been warned

*flashbacks of Punk’s travel issues in London for All In*

Hey, sorry! It’s been a busy few weeks with packing up my house, and showing the house, etc. I haven't even moved out yet, that’s the worst part. But I got a chance last night to watch this finally. My feelings on this one are really mixed. I liked it in some parts, but others I didn’t. The parts I liked were the obvious ones if you know me: the violence. It felt like a fight, Patterson bleeding at the slightest touch. But the parts I didn’t, it felt like your regular WWF kind of stuff from years later. The overselling in particular got on my nerves (mostly Sgt. Slaughter). And why was Slaughter a heel (and it sounded like the crowd didn’t really care?), but the Canadian was the face (who got a pretty huge pop??). I don’t think this even belongs on the best of an 80s set, but I’m also extremely bias and have admitted I don’t really like 80s stuff. But I’m open to it. Seeing Patterson being a wrestler and not Vince’s stooge is kind of wild for an Attitude Era kid to see, and Slaughter as a variation of what he’d later do is kind of weird and interesting as well. Early 80s WWF always trips me out when I see clips, like Dusty wrestling there or Billy Graham or whoever. In my mind’s eye, that’s not WWF, it should be Hogan or whatever other cartoony bullshit they’d do later. So this was fun, even if I didn’t particularly LIKE it. It’s interesting, is all I can really say.

Dasha is probably being replaced by Arkady Unterleidner, who they hired back in February. She’s already been at a few shows and did some ring announcing.
