Re: AEW Discussion

Personally, I would've taken five minutes off FTR-Bullet Club Gold (an absolute banger, don't get me wrong) and given it to Punk-Joe for a more epic feel.

Re: Who subscribes to Honor Club?

I'm just not normally a subscriber to streaming services. Whatever I get on my DirecTV package, that's what I watch. Otherwise, I'd probably watch nothing but wrestling.

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

Apologies if this has already been discussed elsewhere but when and/or why did AEW discontinue releasing physical copies of PPV events? I can't believe the reason is holding out for a streaming service down the road when they can make some sort of money now and appease a good portion of the fanbase...

Re: AEW Discussion

I'm hoping they draw a big crowd at Wembley Stadium, but given how many seats remain at the T-Mobile Arena for Double or Nothing, I hope you'll understand if I'm a tad skeptical. But then it's AEW's first trip to England, and the original All In was done on a dare to sell out a 10,000 seat arena, so...

My response to the frequent bickering on what's left of this board is a resounding, Lewis Black-esque "OH WHO GIVES A FUCK!?"

I did. Pretty decent so far. I've been watching Alexander Hammerstone for years, I'm happy for his success.

Congratulations to Prince Nana for finally getting his men a championship after 20 years of shrimp cocktails.

Re: Punk actually disrupting the humdrum locker room harmony?

Yes, easy to forget that Corny has a wealth of knowledge because of the dumb, hateful trolling. I don't know if he's just playing a character or genuinely believes what he says. The thing I could never understand is that he, the Midnight Express, and the RnR Express must have heard the exact critic...

Re: Punk actually disrupting the humdrum locker room harmony?

You severely underestimate the portion of the wrestling consumer base that Cornette tends to represent with his incredibly vocal, arguably pretentious takes against the business becoming less rugged/masculine. I'll direct you to my previous point on Alex Jones. Giving praise to people like Cornette...

Re: AEW Discussion

They taped AEW Dark for the first hour. I'm sure i've said this numerous times about dark; but i just don't get the point, other than content. But like; it's not even good content; it's just quick couple minute squashes. It's not really developing the wrestlers. They had a couple OK/semi-normal mat...

Re: IMPACT Wrestling Official Thread

One thing I've noticed is that Impact has a way of signing people for short term deals, like with the Iinspiration and Jonah. They're hot from being released, Impact has a chance to build on them and... they're gone after six months. I'm not sure how good a strategy that is. Did anyone else see John...

Re: IMPACT Wrestling Official Thread

The sad thing is, Impact is probably the best it's ever been in terms of match quality, but they're doing shows in front of only a few hundred people at most, and on a channel that's not in more homes.

Re: The WWE Thread

The giant hand slapping Sami made me think I was watching the Oscars. Either that, or Mark Henry & Mae Young's son made his WM debut. The celebrities certainly delivered. I would argue that Austin Theory is too young to carry a non-wrestler, but he did well, I read that Pat McAfee was training w...

Re: Supercard Of Honor 2022 - April 1st - Discussion

I'm glad the Pure title is back, it's something that helps ROH stand out from other promotions. But I'd rather see Woods vs. Rhett Titus in a title unification match.

Re: Tony Kahn booking ROH

Tony Khan is spreading himself too thin, I think, by making himself booker. At the very least, he should have someone like a Regal or an ROH vet assisting him.

Re: SBG SELLS ROH TO TONY KHAN

I’ve seen more effort from Michael Vick to be a pit bull advocate (although I’ve seen evidence that it’s just PR) than I’ve seen Jay of being an LGBTQ ally. Kendrick falls into the Hogan category (who Khan has made it clear will never be in AEW) of opting to not fully own the severity his shit and ...

Re: SBG SELLS ROH TO TONY KHAN

Speculation: A substantial chunk of those in AEW don't want the Briscoes (particularly) Jay around. WarnerMedia also isn't as politically conservative as SBG. Although Riccaboni has vouched for the Briscoes, they haven't done enough publicly to atone perhaps. The same can be said in the past month ...

I've only been to the first Double or Nothing, but the audience's enthusiasm is infectious through the TV screen. So imagine being there in person.
