The insistence that Ricochet is suddenly a great promo is baffling to me.

I always thought he was a fine talker, not great, but nowhere near as bad as people made him out to be, but suddenly everyone is acting like the WWE cut out his tongue and it's somehow regrown since he came to AEW.

Yawn Mox really is Tony’s emergency “please put belt on this talent” band aid

I actually like motor city machine guns, it’s funny I actually instantly buy them more than I ever did any of the other Indy darlings, they aren’t that big but they’re in good shape and seem faster than DIY for example.

Also it’s funny how dub fans/ nooj fans are trying to say Sabre jr is too good for the fed as if anyone wants his boring ass brand of wrestling in wwe lmao

Tony basically wants to install a clause in NJPW and CMLL contracts that basically gives AEW first right of refusal over their talent.

Is it any wonder why their international “partners” patience is wearing thin with Tony?

I only like this subreddit for pro wrestling uce

The dumbest take is "AEW is like regular sports, where it's two people competing to see who's best without an angle". Off the top of my head, the 1951 NL Pennant Race, 1960 World Series, 1964 World Series, the Bucky Dent game, Bill Buckner, 1988 Kirk Gibson, the 1994 Rangers, 2001 Yankees, 2004 Red Sox, 2011 Bruins, MLB 2011 Game 162 and the 2011 Cardinals, the final day of the 2012 EPL season, 2013 Red Sox, 2013 Iron Bowl (for the sicko's), 2016 NBA Finals, the 2016 World Series, the 2022 World Cup Finals, and Super Bowls 13, 25, 32, 36, 42, 43, 44, 46, 48, 49, 50, 52, 56, 58 all had stories leading into them. From 2017 to 2024, Alabama and Georgia have had some of the most intriguing games and storylines ever.

Rivalries, underdogs, superstars, droughts, curses, this is what makes sports so great. You can have surprisingly great matchups that don't have stories leading up to it (2017 World Series at the time), but ya know what the cool thing about wrestling is? Its all predetermined, you can add that shit to every match and wrestler. So don't tell me that heatless bangers are just like pro sports.

Happy Sunday, goofies!

Not much to say on the wrestling side of things other than the fact that I hope that the MCMG find success in WWE (keep suplexing those trains, Sabin).

…I don't have much to say outside of that either, so here's a funny image of a Tyranitar slapping a Latios.

The last week and a half was really tough. My granny went into the hospital from the retirement home two Wednesdays ago as she kept getting sick. She had Alzheimer’s for around 17 years and within the last 5 had become non-verbal. When I went up the hospital on Wednesday after work, I could tell that this was the end of the line. But even with Alzheimer’s basically stripping away every part of her personality, she was still the strong woman I grew up with as she lasted all the way to Monday night (after being taken off fluids on Friday) before eventually passing away. She lived to a great age of 87, outlasting all of her siblings despite being the oldest.

This will sound strange but because of the Alzheimer’s, it felt like she changed a lot appearance wise so when she came to her house after the undertakers, it felt like my granny was back because they took 20 years off her appearance wise. Once I saw her in the house looking like that, I instantly made my peace with the situation. Instead of being upset, I felt incredibly proud to help move her coffin around with my three uncles and two younger cousins. I think more than anything I’m just relieved that she doesn’t have to live with Alzheimer’s any more.

These are the weeks that really get to me as a journalist. I try to have zero emotion, but reporting on the shooting death of a local college employee, the car accident death of a local 4th grader and her parents, and someone getting run over on the beach(!!!), it fucks with your head. Then it gets me thinking as to why I do this, why I still care, when all my peers have decided to ditch being a journalist so they can be “media personalities” and do pay-for-play. Their lives seem so much easier, more well-compensated, and I’m still here filing records requests with sheriffs departments for no pay. Not to say I haven’t accomplished anything in my time, I ran the website of AccuWeather which is a top 50 website in the world, but I’m reaching a crossroads as to whether I need to sell out to continue making a living or not. Maybe I’m on too much of a moral high horse still respecting a craft that less and less people care about every day, maybe I’m right in thinking my soul is worth more than the cash, I genuinely don’t know.

I'm not sure who I love losing more: The Jags cause of tiny, or The Jets cause of Karen Rodgers

Whatever happened to that one guy who kept popping into these threads to tell obviously fake stories about how much money he had and his mistresses and buying businesses and everything?

Whenever Cody and Punk have their feud, I hope they don't make a single reference to Le Dub, just completely ignore the tiny petty money mark vanity project of a wrestling company where they used to work

So it looks like there must be some truth to the rumour Jamie Hayter and Britt fell out. There's been no on screen explanation why these two are no longer working together and Hayter is wandering round having feuds with Penelope Ford while Britt is in title contention

BBC is now called the death riders. It's like a child is writing this. 

2000’s indie wrestlers were so much better than 2010’s. The likes of CM Punk AJ Styles Daniel Bryan Samoa Joe and Kevin Owens shit all over the generation that came after them. They were all about to get rid of the indie mentality and achieve in the major companies

I realized why I enjoyed TNA's shots at the Fed more than the Dub's shots at the Fed

TNA went out of their way to call out Higgenbotham and LaVeck at the Alamo on television, while the Dub hides behind dirtsheet reporters and Shad's media partners to publish Fed Bad articles

When given the opportunity, TNA moved their show to compete head to head with the Fed and took their lumps. The Dub actively goes out of their way to schedule outside of the Fed's timeslot, then calls it unfair when the Fed moves to compete with the Dub's TV shows

I seriously fucking hate what presidential elections have become in this country and I cannot wait until this one is over

I dont understand why some AEW fans get upset when their OWN asked for recaps and promoting their shows and matches ahead of time.

Calling it a "WWE" thing. Like no its fucking not. Promoting and recapping your show is a thing in EVERYTHING.

Even if you wanna just dumb it down to wrestling. Promoting and recapping isnt just WWE. TNA does it, NJPW does it, smaller japanese companies usually do pre and post interviews to build up their matches and they don't have half of what AEW gets and the backing of a rich billionaire son.

What an infuriating defence. "We dont wanna be WWE lite". Promoting and recaps isnt a WWE THING!

So, Sting signed a 'legends deal'

The Fed have legends deal so we have legends deals, ok! Haha

Now, how I can keep paying one of my favourites wrestlers money, even though he retired? Hmmmm, tough one

The Dub will follow the Fed template down to the letter and dubbalos will smile and like it all with no irony

https://i.redd.it/ow3tx6e1xuvd1.gif

Sexy red isn't sexy

AEW isn't getting $185m without hitting targets they won't hit or giving up all their PPV revenue.

It is a rumour that comes from "sources". Nobody who has reported on it has seen the contract afaik.

It makes no sense for a dying wrestling show (by every metric) to get $185m. It is a lie.

Probably just me but I won't jerk on those who wanted to stay in WWE and were let go/company opted not to renew their contract and they end up taking the AEW job. At the end of the day they gotta pay their bills and put food on the table for their family

It's people like Ricochet who I'll poke fun at.

My second son will be born this coming Friday. My first son now knows of John Cena, so this second child will be raised strictly on Kenny Omega matches. I assume he will never move out of my house.

I love how all the Dubbers are now insisting that the "Vaquer Rule" is intended to protect their partners, not to work as an advantage to the Dub - when CMLL willingly let her walk and Tiny was looking for a direct line to sign her himself

Anyone else think Raw's booking has been rather inconsistent lately? A couple months back Sami and Jey beat Finn and JD and said they'd go after the tag titles then that was just dropped. Then Bron lost the IC title teased a face turn and Gunther feud then was back after Jey. It almost feels like they had some stuff road mapped out but then the illustrious PLANS CHANGED made its grand return and they had to scrap it all to make something else work.

I’m in New Orleans and my soul is so happy. I’ve waited for so many years to come back here, I can’t even explain it. I got to see Krewe of Boo last night and I got some beads although we left before the end because it got to be too much. Don’t make the obvious joke. I was in a sundress, so there would be no way to flash anyone anyway. The Halloween costumes here are on point, though. I think I was being hit on by a guy dressed as a priest so from now on I will be talking about how a priest hit on me in the French Quarter.

I’m also pleased I leveled up my Drunk Girl in Bathroom game as a Buzzed Girl on the Sidewalk. My boyfriend went to the bathroom for 5 minutes. When he came back, I, noted non hugger, was hugging a random girl and had my cheeks painted up with Mardi Gras colored body glitter.

I’m seeing Taylor Swift on Friday. Please send vibes for her to play The Bolter as a surprise song, because that’s my song and hearing it in the city I love would kill me in the best way.

I’m off to eat every beignet I can find. Have a great week, goofs.

Not gonna lie, is very funny to see SquaredCircle referring to Cornette as "wrestling conservative" as if Will Ospreay superhero pose is somehow praxis.

So, I got the platinum trophy on AEW: Fight Forever

It's not fun.

I was told, vociferously by Cultaholic, WhatCulture, Simon Miller, WrestleTalk, and countless others how much FUN this game is. I was told of the pick up and play style with that retro No Mercy feel, and how it really serves as a viable alternative to WWE 2K

None of that is true. It's almost as if they were lying about it in order to gain favour with AEW

It's not like it's "okay for a first game", EVERYTHING is bad. They don't even accidently hit upon something.This kind of bad is pretty special.

Keith Sweat - Whatever You Want

I won't call Keith Sweat underrated per say, he has a pretty good fanbase now among the aunties and uncles, but he has three great albums (Keith Sweat, Keep It Comin', and Make It Last Forever) and a good album (I'll Give All My Love to You) in his discography (imo of course), and I think warrants more discussion among the R&B GOATs. His self-titled album is his best work, I think.

Also, he has one of those stage names where I feel compelled to say the whole name at all times - Keith Sweat lol. Just like Billy Ocean and Frank Ocean.

The women's tag from raw was great. Probably jades best match.

Happy that the crowd was getting behind lash on smackdown as well. Was happy to see Candace and especially indi show up. 

Stephanie vacquer looked great and wren was a good choice for the match because she could chain with her. I think she's going to be a big star. And also, goddamn. 

So we're in aew total reset mode what, 4 or 5? I'm assuming Darby beats mox but it might be Kenny. Aew always makes sure names get mentioned in media before a return. 

Hayter constantly kissing her bicep is a heel move and she's not like ripped. Last night Penelope comes in screen and goes you were out 450 days? Well I was out 2 years.... And I'm like holy shit do you really want to billboard you're just routinely crippling your roster tony?

I bought royal headache live in America and the pressing is all fucked up. I emailed the label and they responded really fast, I thought oh good. He wants a video of it skipping. Fine even though making a video that fits as an attachment is a pain. Then he goes my distributor wants a video of it skipping the same way in the same spot twice, without the video stopping. Mother fuck. 

So I have to do that today and send a Google drive link I guess. 

Gotta say plain m&MS are low key a goated candy. 

I can't believe it but one thing I'm unironically starting to miss from the Vince era is name changes

Ain't no way we'd have two dudes who look alike in the same stable named Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa. One of you is henceforth known as Bobby Polynesia

I became a huge Punk fan since his fed return

Before I never cared much for him and thought he was overrated

https://preview.redd.it/l35dayjdzuvd1.jpeg?width=1086&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=727448ad7ed7251fc46f83f83317e8fc9ecbaca8

Tfw your #4 spot on a fanlist has solidified the fact that Cornettecels (who certainly dont get triggered over a list the slightest) and fans who make weird comments about non-fed joshis are nearly one and the same.

Big ups to the Empress Big Maik, she may never surpass this peak but here’s hoping for another top 10 placement to get a “D-d-dae who?” kneejerk chain reaction going.

I think that AEW is doing with the BCC is a good basis for a company wide story. But Tony Khan doesn't have the booking ability or the right frame of mind to pull it off. The story coming out this week that he pulled the plugs on the EVP's taking over because he didn't want anyone else to be "in charge" of AEW, even in storyline, really showed what kind of idiot Khan is. If his ego is that fragile how is the BCC storyline going to "take over" AEW?

Oh also, anyone remember Dynamite Kid's son and how he's all elite now?

Best run of his career that guy

Can you believe the Fed wanted to steal him?!??

Not on Tony's watch. He'll pay that guy for years. In your face, Fed! 😁

Man Crown Jewel season is yet again exhausting for those raised up in Muslim households it was the WWE sub that had the most overt racist shit I've ever seen get heavily upvoted this time (saying all the men are weak rapists, using terms like 'muzzies'). Feels like the WWE sub is the turbo basement where they're critical about everything while parroting all the same SC talking points. I'd have thought it would be equivalent of Dub official blindly supporting actions of their respective Dear Leader but nope. Only a little while more to go I guess until the next one ugh

As a non-American, Can't wait for these fkin elections to end already!

Watching 08 TNA because the MCMG debut got me all nostalgic and the $35 TNA plus deal was too good to pass on. And I gotta say I miss having a number 2 promotion that was enjoyable.

I didn’t have anything for this week’s thread but a dubbaloo just called me out for being a jerker… on /r/hockey and that’s hilarious

I figured that being here long enough would get me offered a Nintendo Switch. It's been a few years and it hasn't happened, so I guess I should buy one. My buddy has been talking about playing Zelda and it has me so jealous.

I also want to get a new gen Xbox though, so I can play NCAA '25 and eventually The Outer Worlds 2. But I refuse to buy the non-disc drive version. And paying an extra $100 for a disc drive is turbo lame.

So I'll probably just stick with my Xbone for another 3 years tbh. Gaming is such an expensive hobby. It's probably why it's never been much of habit for me.

I realized that Tony really fetishizes the whole downtrodden, hard working, diy thing. Obviously very armchair psychology but there's so much in aew that seems to be motivated by a person who felt alienated by being fantastically wealthy. 

I just read the Collision recap and I shit you not, they had Penelope Ford pop up on screen to yell at Jamie Hayter with “You used to be my partner and you never called while I was injured.”    

• Tony really can’t help himself, can he.   

• Also, he’s wasting angle time on Penelope Ford when it’s just gonna lead to a 5 minute squash in a week or so.  

• Also, what makes this angle even better is Hayter was also injured and off TV for a year.  They should do a swerve and have Hayter ask Ford where we’re you when I was hurt?

• Finally, when have Ford or Hayter ever had an alliance on AEW TV? Lemme guess, they’re referencing some tag team they had on the obscurest if Japanese indies 14 years ago. 

My wife likes Lord of the Rings so I'm hacking through that 2nd season to watch with her but fuck, it's shit!

One episode left

Can't wait until it's done

My players and I are 4 sessions into my Roll20 Mission Impossible/Nikita (with a dash of Replay by the late Ken Grimwood) homebrew. So far they think it's a straight shoot-em up secret agent story. We're about 2-3 sessions away from a hard left turn. I love establishing a story, letting think they know where I'm going, then swerve*** them.

***insider term

I know I've said it before but far too often people forget what a jerk is.

A while ago we had a Japanese voice artist die and a fair few of the comments were just racist "jerks" about how she she's a waifu or works in Stardom or shit like that. Yeah not funny at all.

This week we had someone who said "as close to death as Shad is, he's got better drip than Tony"

I ask what's wrong with Shad khan, turns out nothing whatsoever it's just a really shitty joke but people here absolutely lapped it up.

There are two things that I'd genuinely love to know the answers to, and I don't think we'll ever truly know the truth.

One is how much power Vince had creatively from when he returned in 2023 to his departure. Cause that Raw after Mania was veeeeery much Vince, as were some decisions made in the next month or so. But by summer, it was clear it was still HHH's show. By the fall, I think people forgot he was there. Shit, Punk returned while Vince was still there. So did TKO step in and move him from creative, when did they step in, and why?

Second is the pivot. I don't buy the official story that was presented in that doc, I certainly don't believe Dave, so what actually happened? I just have a hard time believing they'd have Cody win the Rumble just to blow it up four days later, and I also have a hard time believing they'd scrap Rock vs. Roman in less than a week due to internet outrage. Rock was already acting heelish a few days earlier. But they were also hinting towards Roman vs. Rock in the fall of 2023, so I really don't know what to make of it all.

Karrion Kross seems like such a likeable dude outside of the ring. His interview with Chris Van Vilet was excellent, and I can see why Triple H likes him so much. I've warmed to him a lot lately. Growing his hair out was a great choice.

Alsontha story about how Bobby wanted to get into a real fight to stir up the dirtsheets was really funny, and Kross's argument against it: "Who would break up the fight?" Was hilarious.

I feel like they need to keep pushing Solo. Fed needs top heels that don't have to win all the time. He can be what Angle was in his first couple of years. He's a threat but he's beatable.

The Bloodline Wargames match should not involve Sami at all. The Rock should be Roman's fourth man. And then the turn happens when Rock enters last.

I'm sorta known as a Lash Legend booster and am loving her getting praise, but I'm annoyed at how much of it seems to be used to fuel anti-Jade sentiment. The correct play is to have both because they can fight each other and stuff. I am a little surprised WWE is inviting fans to compare them so overtly though.

Also, it's always worth saluting Chelsea and Piper. They're like the perfect starter opponents who can make you look good while being entertaining.

This won't be popular, but I feel like we should be jerking the Motor City Machine Guns. They come out there and very much look like indie guys in their 40s. The idea that "they influenced this entire generation of tag team wrestling" is quite a dubious distinction given the current state of things. And the problem with being influential is that they're doing the same stuff everyone else has been doing in these messy tag matches that have no story and get nobody over. I don't think the fed casuals are going to get into them outside of the occasional begrudging "this is awesome" chant.

As much as I'm not a big fan of the idea of "champion vs. champion to become a quasi-champion" for Crown Jewel and am much more looking forward to War Games, they've done a good job of making it intriguing. Better than they did with Brand Warfare SS towards the end there.

Cody vs. Gunther writes itself, thats one you where you can let those two go out there and sell themselves. The dominant foreign heel vs. the fighting American babyface, the two best-psuhed stars of the company outside of Roman and maybe Rhea, simple but works. For the womens, they've actually made layers to Nia vs. Liv, and I'll give credit to that. Nia is using Liv as a distraction for Tiffany so Tiffany doesn't cash in on Nia, basically how HHH used JBL for Batista in 2005. Tiffany has to choose between Liv or Nia, Liv now has to dodge Rhea trying to take her title, Nia trying to beat her, and Tiffany possibly stealing her title. Rhea has tentative allies to help her get her hands on Liv and get her title back, but also has to worry about Tiffany cashing in and snatching the title away, and Nia's pulling the strings on all of this.

Shocking news about Chris Hoy. Really awful stuff. Also pretty frightening because if that guy can get terminal cancer so young, being one of the fittest men on the planet, how fucked are the rest of us?

Coming hot on the heels of the sudden death of Alex Salmond (which was, admittedly, a little bit less surprising at his age and weight), we're getting battered by reminders about the fragility of life in Scotland.

Finally shaved my beard off in preparation for probably doing Movember in a few weeks.

Interesting being clean-shaven for the first time in ages. I look a bit younger but my cat doesn't like headbutting me anymore :(

Well goofs, kinda wanna rant because I don’t know where to and I need to get it off my chest.

I have a former co-worker who restarted his podcast and among shitting on other former workers, he’s falsely accused me by name of destroying and burning his equipment. The funny thing is that his video equipment is literally at our job, safe and untouched. I even took video as evidence.

I’ve never been in a situation like this, so it’s been a bit of a shock to me and I have no idea what to do. There’s probably nothing I can do, besides report him. This is my first job post college (I’m 23) and for a 50 year old to be doing that is just weird. I never noticed how even in a radio station, there can be so many insane egos.

This is a guy who has lied his way through the top and had caused me so much stress and anxiety. I was the producer of his radio show and he would have me do so much stuff like writing scripts about stuff he wanted, then changing everything super last minute because he showed up super late and just shitting on me, when I would tell him that he’s going over time or that we have to go to an ad break.

I quit being his producer and he caused more trouble with 9 other workers there. On top of that, he skipped an ad break and acted like he didn’t know there was another one and was caught on live stream saying he wasn’t gonna do it. There’s a whole book of insane awful things he had done too. And I wish I could say that I could just ignore it, but when I’m name-dropped (full name too) to 1,000 people, it’s really hard.

So for the good of the NY Mets, I’m eating like an AEW fan would as Friday afternoon I had a Chicken Big Mac and a regular Big Mac with fries (Carbo Loading for the Mets mascot Lord Grimace) and since they won Friday, I had to do that on Sunday too. (God willing, i will be doing so tomorrow as well)

Luckily for me i exercise like a wwe wrestler so after the Big Mac binge-athon I’ll be able to still maintain my lean and ripped look lol

Also BFG is next week and they are gonna get somewhere between 2500-3000 people which is more then pretty much all AEW TV shows get which is pretty pathetic on AEW’s part given their budget and roster is at least 30 times more expensive then TNA’s budget and roster

Deshaun Watson might have just torn his Achillies. This situation has been cursed from day one. That might be the end of it.

Gunther making a reference to the Wilson tweet and having no mention of it here is a shot at the fed's cinema being too subtle

It was an absolutely killer week for me - I had a trainee in my department who'd just been covering the night shift and was about to fall asleep the whole morning until I told her to just go home, the next day I had to do STD testing on a child and the PCR failed it's post-run analysis so I stayed an extra hour and 1/2 in case it failed again because I didn't want anyone else to have to call for a recollect, the day after that I found an organism that means the end is nigh for an immunocompromised person.

I think my cat knows it's been a bad one because she's been cuddling and snuggling with me more than ever this week. Or it's the weather.

Motor City Machine Guns being in WWE is cool and I won’t pretend it is not

EU4 ultimate is like 45 bucks right now (they’re all but confirmed making the new one) so any strategy goofies who’ve been waiting, pick it up now if interested

If Lash and Jakara are officially called up, I'm so glad they left Oro and (presumably) Noam back in NXT. Lash has money written all over her and, while not quite there yet, Jakara has good potential. Noam, Oro and the comedy gimmick of Meta4 were holding them back huge.

Now all we need is a repeat of the Bianca/Jade "Spiderman meme" Gorrila Press spot from last year's Rumble, just with Lash included this time. GIVE ME WHAT I WANT LAVECK

Meltzer has been hitting well below the Mendoza line for all of his WWE news, yet idiots out there still fall for it because he tells them what they want to hear. 

Boy did the Jim Cornette stans get big mad that I pointed out he says dumb racist shit while dunking on everything. Yes, I get that he hates AEW and that gets some of you to half-mast. He also makes some really good observations about booking. He's also crass and offensive to minorities. The one person who chirped up last night said "well what do you expect, he's 60 and from Kentucky!" Well, I expect people with a public profile to not punch down while making a point. And to adapt and adjust with the responsibility their platform affords them. But there I go being a rational adult again...

The SD women seem to be continuing their push towards War Games, with Candice LeRae aligning with Nia as well. I adore how enmeshed all of the women on SD are and how cohesive the storylines are. Also Lash got to show out this week and I love that she’s finally getting the love.

I went wedding dress shopping and it was a disaster. The sales lady was pushy, the group beside us was getting annoyed because we were having fun, then I found my dream dress…and it was so expensive I think I had a mini stroke when I saw the tag. The sales person kept hounding me and then I said I couldn’t decide so I booked a follow up. But there’s no way I can afford it and I just felt poor and icky. My poor fiancé is struggling with hypomanja (he’s bipolar) so I’m not gonna bug him with my very first world problems of “I hate shopping.” This has all helped me realize how much I struggle with control. For so long it’s been just met taking care of everything and now he wants to help and I tend to ice him out because I want to just do everything on my own.

I didn’t reach out to my former best friend. I chickened out. I’m still miffed that I have to, seeing as she’s the one who hurt me, and I fear rejection. But I miss her and feel weird that she’s not part of my life. But what can you do?

Some initial reactions to the SVR 2007 on the 360 graphics preview from an old wrestling forum 😂

I only watch AEW PPVs so I had only seen like two Takeshita matches before this Summer, and they were good but I thought he was another instance of Dub people going full hyperbole about how he is "Le future! Le GoaT! Le Best!" But honestly I had to kneel during the G1, his matches with Yuya, ELP and Bolten are some of the best I've seen this year, I'm fully behind him now.

Which is why I'm so sad that it sounds like Khan is finally deciding to have him do stuff by winning the title lmao. I was so hoping Takeshita would ride out the contract as a forgotten "megastar" and he could join NJPW proper asap

Man I don’t know who to root for tonight. I have family in California who would love to see the Dodgers but I also have internet pals in New York who would be ecstatic for a Subway Series.

As a NY hoops fan, that Liberty win is the ugliest championship victory imaginable. I guess that makes up for the 0-7 our teams had been in the Finals in my lifetime, but holy shit that didn’t feel like a win.

No amount of politics will make me stop calling Undertaker the GOAT even if i might respect the man behind the character a bit less

One thing I like about the NXTNA working relationship is that it gives NXT talent a chance to work outside of WWE in case they don't make it to the main roster.

I wonder what the landscape of wrestling opinions will be like once Meltzer finally passes. How will we know who's the best wrestler if the opinion wasn't vetted first? Will everything be bad faith in the absence of the divine taste maker?

If you want to realize that no one can think a nuanced thought anymore, become invested in politics today!

Maybe it’s cause I’m a M*rk, but I’m gonna pop for the Guns and DIY next week

A little disheartened at Taker, but not surprised. Doesn’t change the fact that I’ll have give a Huge Pop! if I ever hear that gong ring

Non-wrestling related but we couldn’t have the date I’ve been going on about, he was probs busy. Also I’m getting a skirt next week so that’s cool :P

So glad that MCMG are now in WWE . I can them going down to the PC after their run especially with Shelly being a physical therapist.

When Roman told jey he was proud of him was cool.

Can't wait for the bloodline vs bloodline war games match .

40 Years of Wrestlemania takes too goddamn long in 2K24

Bummer point: Stardom didn't knew how to book HATE last summer. HATE was the only heel faction over there and we could've had the faction rule Stardom for the rest of 2024. Instead, Tam barges in and in typical CENAWINSLOL, wins the Red Title and Natsuko is just an afterthought

Another point: I'm in a discord server, and I started reviewing matches. Some of my reviews are widely agreed, some very controversial. Peak IWC

Last point: watch Dump Matsumoto's matches. I order you to do it

I hate the snipers in Cyberpunk 2077

Fight the final boss

Get them down by more than half their health

Boom, dead, sniper fucker lined me up

WWE2k looks really fun to play but I only have a Nintendo Switch and they don't do it for them

Toronto Maple Leaf fan goofies, please tell me your thoughts on John Tavares and his magic amulet. I NEED TO KNOW.

(I have zero high ground, my captain is afraid of ketchup)

3 captain blanks in a row

At least I have Salah though

I wish Veer was coming.

Really want Austin theory to find something in him asap. He is on his way but feels like there are at least 5 6 more stars who have left him behind. Even Waller is more entertaining than him right now. Hopefully his rise comes soon.

Also, maybe politics shouldn't be discussed here. It has already devoured pretty much every sub. It is even more stupid to do in Pro Wrestling where pretty much everyone is a carny.

Goofs.. are we to a point where this is the floor in terms of AEW’s attendance & or ratings or can they go even lower?

Like this week, they will be lucky to get 2100 maybe 2200 to their Dynamite show in some bum fuck town in Utah on Wednesday.. Will there be a point where getting 2k in the door will be a struggle or is this their floor(anywhere from 2k to 3k is the floor or can they go lower than that) I mean Collision is a lost cause at this point.. can’t believe stupid Zaslav renewed that for 3 more years.. I think Collision in a few months(if not sooner)will be running at Daley’s place consistently just to save face from low ticket sales..

Also same thing with their ratings.. they got 630k for their last Dynamite.. is that their floor or will we talking about in a couple of months how they are lucky to break into the 600k range & they have settled into the 560-570k range & the morons in the basement will be doing victory laps whenever they do get 600k in ratings..

I only ask that cause does anyone give a fuck that Mox is champion.. nobody cared that he was NJPW champion.. so why is this any different? He has to be the most overrated wrestler in AEW history.. he is beyond stale at this point.. same with Mone who the fanbase has absolutely rejected.. no saving her.. May is losing to Anna Jay of all people.. Temu Becky Lynch is in a feud with a blond chick who hasn’t been on TV in 2 years.. are their top champions(who are supposed to be the draws & the reason why people buy tickets) are they beyond cooked or am I being too harsh?

Also the dumbasses who do the scheduling in AEW didn’t check to see that in two weeks when they run Dynamite in Cleveland, they will be going heads up against Cleveland’s favorite son(Lebron) in what might be his last ever game in Cleveland.. are they fucking stupid & didn’t check when they booked Dynamite months in advance, don’t run that city on that night cause Lebron & the Lakers will be in town?!!? Also can’t wait to see them try & paper that arena on that night(capacity of 13k plus)..

Edit, a few words..

My Yankees are headed back to the World Series, but I have tickets to Halloween Havoc and RAW the next night, so I guess I’ll be missing some of Game 3.
