John E. Dynamite Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 It was a reference to the album cover of the first Madness record. Maybe they all thought "Night Boat To Cairo" was dope. Also, as a Timerwolves fan, please don't bother thinking about Steph. He was either going to be the most influential player in decades OR needed an exact system to be the dude he is and we don't live in an existence that can answer that question.

Casey Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 It’s already in the joshi thread, but Yuka Sakazaki is leaving/graduating from Tokyo Joshi Pro on December 1st and moving to the US after her final show. I smell an All Elite graphic in her future. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octopus Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 No sleep lost, @John E. Dynamite. One of many silly misfortunes of a Mn Sports fan. Most rambling and a bit to joke on parallels. But to continue on it, Steph stated he didn’t want to come here and didn’t train here during scouting, so it never was going to happen and is way overplayed. Maybe a draft and trade but the team isn’t that savvy. You from Mn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was one of their weird anomalies from the start of the company, that she'd be listed as a roster member but would rarely show up. I guess this is just her finally making the move instead of being in an in-between state. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it’s Yuka, she’s pretty popular, and they’ll probably make it finally “official” (as in the graphic and announcing it on social media) if she’s making AEW her priority come 2024. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Time to bring on the tag titles then. Anna/Tay Toni/Saraya/Ruby Britt/Hayter Penelope/Bunny Madison/Skye or Willow/Skye Yuka/Riho or Yuka/Miyu if she's next. Nyla/Marina And you could do other things like Deeb/Hirsch or Deeb/Martinez again or Julia/Abadon or Velvet/Hogan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punk has been told he can't have contact as of now with The Bucks (their call). It seems to me like maybe Punk finally got a bit of perspective and has started a bury the hatchet tour. Went to Raw to bury the heat with Triple H & Miz. Stopped by Impact. Made up with Jericho. I think when he's allowed to have contact with them he may try to make up with them. Kenny I think is already at the point where he'd accept it. I mean maybe not too. But one can hope. This sounds so much better when you think of it in the same context of the making amends tour that Dewey Cox did in Walk Hard. Also - I'd really have killed to see Prime Hogan vs Orange Cassidy. The Hulk Up into the soft kicks would have gone over huge. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soft kicks as old man Hogan slowly Hulks Up and does the puffed-cheeks YOUUUUU point, then he blocks the Orange Punch, hits three slow-mo soft punches, a big boot to the midsection, and then just sits down on the mat next to OC and gently drops the leg from a seated position. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLowe Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 (edited) Rampage thread is closed but I finally watched and that sure was something! Opening trios was excellent. Vikingo got to hit a lot of his spots, as did Lucha Bros. QT was a very good base. Hobbs was Hobbs, hitting some power moves and nasty lariats and learning to base. Solo is a guy who can take moves. Laying the groundwork to end QTV is a bonus. The Jade squash was short. As others said, that was Preston Vance’s best match. Great back and forth, good heeling, good storytelling, quite stiff, feel good aftermath. Never seen anything like that cinematic match (like literally, only thing that comes close for me is a Santo movie). And similarly, it was goofy as fuck, weird as fuck, and fun as hell. Stoke was the obvious star, alongside the Hardy kids (great second rope senton!) Taiga dressed like Bruce Lee, Isaiah as some weird blaxploitation Hardy character, and every second of Ethan Page stooging were highlights. Now, I don’t need to see anything like that ever again! Dynamite is ridiculously stacked, kind of worried Austin will be a letdown after that. Edit: forgot to say AEW RULES THE F’NG WORLD~!

Hogan's probably 100% immobile now, but around the time he was in TNA, I think they could've gotten a fun 'Hulk Hogan's Last Match' thing out of it, maybe like one bump and he goes over with the ax bomber instead of the legdrop.

While the source is clearly questionable, I don't have any doubt a new deal has been agreed to. We all know about the new Saturday show and AEW wouldn't pull their shows off Youtube unless there was a new deal that said all their content had to be on Warner properties. Plus the rumors related to AEW events being on Max. Way too much smoke for there not to be fire, I assume we'll find out next Wednesday. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
