I really, truly do not know how people can defend Punk at this point. Guy sits down and UNPROMPTED just starts going on a rant about every little thing, while throwing three of the top stars in the company under the bus completely. Then dares someone to do something about it basically. And then peop...

If it's not a work, overwhelmed is not the word I would use. Feckless? Coward? Those might be better. Again, if it's not a work, him just sitting there while Punk trashed key people in the locker room is just incomprehensible.

Who would have called the tag title match as stealing the show?

I agree, but I'll add lost respect for TK. If this isn't a work, then this company must be horrendous to work for. Legit.

It's gotta be a work though. I just think it's a really dumb work.

The Fiend didn't get over because his matches were horrendous and there wasn't much you could do with him. Malakai is definitely over -- and he has great matches to boot. Wardlow's booking is so bad. Three title defenses since July 6th. Couple that with Jade as TBS champ and the TV titles have been ...

Yeah, they've burned through their goodwill like crazy. Part of me is happy about the Fish contract expiring... because it will force them to do something new and different with Cole and KOR. BUT why did we spend the majority of the year building up UE vs The Elite if you wouldn't even keep Fish lon...

I think you're right about SBG v Golden Era holding different events in higher regard. Final Battle seems to be the only that was consistently placed above everything else. Supercard Of Honor after that just because it was their biggest shows of the year.

The five star scale is broken. I'll believe that most of his matches are 5 stars. Not all, but again, that's opinion. But there is something to say about not remembering a five star match months later. But this is also not anything new. It was the same with AJPW and AJW in the 90s. And it was the sa...

One, that's not a real answer. Two, when was STP ever the most talked about thing in ROH?

I think Shane Taylor is a great character, but in-ring, he's not really up to snuff.

I like that show a lot, but it's not better than Final Battle and Manhattan Mayhem to me. I also like Glory By Honor a lot too.

That's fair. I do think Survival Of The Fittest has "some" prestige, but not as much as you think it would. The first is a legendary one. Roderick Strong won the second one and entered into a great program with Danielson. Delirious won the third one and had a fun mini-feud with Danielson t...

Kind of with you there, except Ospreay is 10x the worker Davey is. Davey never felt organic to me as a singles -- he always felt like he was copying someone else, whether it be KENTA, Kawada, Benoit, or even Danielson at times. Ospreay, for better or worse, is a unique worker. Doesn't mean he's the ...

There is beauty and storytelling in old school wrestling, but there's also beauty and storytelling in old movies that we don't see done today either. At a certain point, you've explored all aspects of it and it's time to move on. Doesn't mean there isn't room for it here and there, but everything mo...

Yeah, I agree with you. If we're ranking prestige ROH events PERIOD, it goes:

Final Battle
Glory By Honor
Supercard Of Honor
Death Before Dishonor
Anniversary Show
Best In The World
Survival Of The Fittest
Manhattan Mayhem

One would hope that Tony understands that a tiny, tiny minority of fans read the dirtsheets and understand some of the comments on the show. I don't buy this. People say it constantly so I'm not trying to shut you down personally, but AEW's fanbase itself is largely based on people who consume wres...

I don't know if he's just playing a character or genuinely believes what he says. It's both. He's definitely amplifying himself on the podcast, but he also legit hates Kenny and others. Part of that comes from the business lapping him and the other part of it is sour grapes from his time with ROH w...

Yup, totally agree. Cornette is one of maybe 6 people with perfect factual knowledge and business understanding of wrestling up until about 2005. It was around like 2006/2007 when he started completely losing touch. If you want to hear Cornette talk about wrestling in the '80s or '90s, it's going to...

Thank you for not starting this with "this is the moment I've been waiting for." I was originally on Sammy's side of the story. Eddie has been called fat in plenty of promos before so it's unfair for him to take umbrage this time, unless there's a lot more to the story. BUT, Sammy went out...

This is just a lot of words for you to just say "I'm a Cornette fan no matter what and he should be on my TV screen." It's just been this constant devolving into that sentence through everything. "Well, he has a point some times, but is crude." "Well, I actually started list...

So we're going to reward people for being deranged and psychopathic in real life? It's not being narrow and close-minded. You can totally have highly-polarizing characters -- the fact that you're so quick to go "this is the moment I've been waiting for" shows that. But we don't need to dre...
