Re: All Elite Wrestling Thread

To be fair, I'm not sure the plan was to have Jericho vs. Page for the belt judging by the timeline of events. I'd say they were going for PAC vs. Omega for the title, Jericho vs. Moxley because they have history and could have done an actual grudge match without potted plants or whatever the hell t...

Re: 2019 Top Prospect Tournament Thread

Dijak and Rush did jack shit for a year after winning the tournament and then left, and Woods pops up at random to be this weird part-time JTTS no one cares about. They keep bringing those obscure northeast clowns (oh yeah, no one outside of that area will go to the stupid seminars) that never amoun...

Re: All Elite Wrestling Thread

They are being very ambitious/optimistic booking Page like they have. I think he's really risen to the occasion since two years ago when he saved his career by making a balcony moonsault, but he's for the most part unproven as a main event star. I haven't seen him since like 2015-16 and he comes ac...

Re: All Elite Wrestling Thread

Bea Priestley is bad, she gave britt baker a concussion with a kick. Yeah, I've seen the spot now after a second viewing. The weird thing is that the part of the match that I liked (the heat segment on Riho) probably wasn't meant to happen in the first place since they were basically stalling until...

Re: All Elite Wrestling Thread

For whatever reason, wrestling in bigger arenas in the States tends to have this bad problem in losing the crowd's attention and it was bound to happen to AEW as well. I only watched the interminable main event and Omega/CIMA, but the show from all I've seen was a definite miss. Hopefully I listen ...

Re: All Elite Wrestling Thread

It's a botch, that happens. It doesn't change the fact that Priestley looked like an ass kicker out here while Baker comes off as a budget version of Tessa Blanchard without anything that makes Tessa stand out.

It won't matter anyway because it'll be the Stephanie Rhodes show and it's all about her.

Re: All Elite Wrestling Thread

Liked the Women's tag on the pre-show that was my favorite match. Really? That started out ok with Riho eating heat for a while and Priestley looking like a star, then turned into a complete mess when they stopped. Britt Yankem desperately needs an actual gimmick and the Japanese girls just aren't ...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

the elite have all the control in roh..maybe they want more and thats why they go to aew...also money. Yeah, like signing all of their friends (and for those who can't come, their friends and girlfriend) using someone else's money even though 95% of them are bush league, and do their garbage "...

Re: Best In The World 2019 OFFICIAL THREAD

I don't know about FF and FftF, but I can see DON and All Out (the G1 Supercard also to a lesser extent) hurting the Dallas show. There is a lot of overlap (right now anyway) between the NJPW and AEW fans and they can't go to every show, so choices have to be made at some point. Right now, AEW sure ...

Re: Ring of Honor Events Schedule Thread

Look, AEW is the most overrated shit in pro wrestling in quite a long time, but the last thing any ROH fan can do right now is go "look at all those empty seats" when ROH is struggling to sell 500 tickets in NEW YORK CITY.

Re: Ring of Honor Events Schedule Thread

sooooooo RIP ROH 2002-2019. Add a year or two and you're much closer to reality that you're willing to admit. in a serious note...G1 Supercard booking was the worst thing roh do in all history. That we can all agree on. ROH basically had the equivalent of the Radicalz leaving for the WWF and Starrc...

Re: Ring of Honor Events Schedule Thread

I think that we shouldn't jump to conclusions. It really isn't. It's been a slow, but consistent thread of New Japan backing out of this partnership by sending lesser and lesser stars for WOTW/Global Wars as time went by. I mean, the biggest stars they sent this year were Kojima and Nagata who are ...

Re: Best In The World 2019 OFFICIAL THREAD

Well every promotion has super fans that think that their favourite promotion can do no wrong. What? Nooo! What makes you think that? I have seen plenty of rationalizations for why Fyter Fest was one of the best wrestling shows this year, while some conceded by saying that it is minor show and it d...

Well it took them longer than I thought it would (the Elite catching fire like it did was a good reason to keep up the charade), but here we are. The leech got whatever it wanted from the dying body of ROH and at the first oportunity, are like "yeah, we're done, have a nice death". Meanwhi...

Re: Best In The World 2019 OFFICIAL THREAD

Hopefully people wake up eventually to aew because even though Fyter fest was a ok show people are saying it's the greatest show of the year and when people do they will run back to Roh or find something newer to get into for a while Really? It does feel like quite the opposite actually. People are...

Re: ALL PURPOSE NEW TALENT/SPECIAL ATTRACTION THREAD

I don't understand what kind of math should I do here. Shelley hasn't gotten much of reaction from crowds for a while now and based on the video uploaded they didn't really react much to his return either. Is he suddenly going to start drawing the crowds? Shhh, don't say Shelley is a has-been/never...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

Crazy how far decent storytelling and taking things rather seriously can get you despite lacking star power and great in-ring. Speaking of veiled shots at ROH, you should check out Aries' promo on this week's show.

Re: Best In The World 2019 OFFICIAL THREAD

Via WON: None of the angles are hitting. ROH’s problem is that it was built as a high level match quality promotion as its calling card, and now, with the top workers that didn’t fit the WWE mold now having options like NXT and AEW and Sinclair going with the idea they weren’t going to try to be bi...

Re: Best In The World 2019 OFFICIAL THREAD

Taven really might be the most underappreciated talent in the business right now. Most people critical of him haven't been watching recently. The love that MJF is getting is largely built on an act that Taven has mastered over the last few years. Taven's issue was that he wasn't very good a few yea...

Re: AEW Discussion

Haven't watched the whole show yet : SCU vs. PP vs. BF - ***1/2 Perfect way to introduce PP as a team to keep an eye on in the future. The match was also a good mix of old school and modern action. Bates vs. Allie - * Allie should be a heel and basically turns back into "Cherry Bomb, the alpha ...
