Re: AEW Discussion
Ospreay was spectacular on Wednesday. Amazing he's still as fast and explosive as he is after 10 years and multiple injuries. He also really carries himself like a star now. Seems to be putting together an all-time great body of work somewhat under-the-radar. I suppose NJPW will keep him for the for...

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 critici...

Re: THE DRAMA CONTINUES!!!
- AEW is going too wild with "turning heat into works." It's veering into WCW territory. It will still take a lot for them to get there, but it's definitely inching there with this, the Punk-Hangman shit, the Thunder sandbagging t-shirt, and other shit. Agree w/ this 100%. One would hope ...

Re: THE DRAMA CONTINUES!!!
I'll call BS on this Thunder Rosa stuff. She was in a trios tag on the Dark taping for Quake by the Lake where she never tagged in, which was weird at the time, but would make sense if she's injured. Also, this stuff w/ Hayter isn't plausible. Thunder Rosa, a professional wrestler, is worried about ...

Re: AEW Discussion
I really don't mind giving TV time to Gunn Club and 2.0. What I hate is that Adam Cole was in a match or major segment every single week for months. That's the problem. I get that he was being built up, but it was still overkill. And I enjoy Adam Cole -- I just think AEW has relied too much on him ...

Re: AEW Discussion
And I really struggle with the classification of 2.0 as dead weight when they are getting more and more over and beloved. You can personally not like them, but they've definitely moved themselves up from the jobber role they were in at the start. Now, does AEW follow-up on that? Who knows? But call...

Re: AEW Discussion
Fair point on Sonjay and the Indian market. I think two general issues have soured fans on Tony. First, there's decisions he makes that angers some segment of the fanbase. This sort of thing is probably inevitable - the longer AEW exists, the more likely it is he does something that annoys you. For ...

Re: IMPACT Wrestling Official Thread
Checked out Emergence based on the positive reviews Impact has been getting. Damn, that was a great show. I enjoyed everything, but the Knockouts title and Bandido / Horus were my faves. Great, heated women's match and a some genuinely jaw dropping moments in the lucha match. Bandido's already a sta...

Re: AEW Discussion
Anytime your storyline directions involves Lethal and Dutt beyond a single show, you're basically being pussyfoot around with. They don't make a splash. I have as much "understanding" about the difficulty of overcoming an injury bug here as I did for WWE 7 years ago. You don't have a rost...

Re: AEW Discussion
Perhaps the most important reason to have Dark and Dark Elevation is for AEW's younger wrestlers to gain experience. One used to get those on house shows, but AEW doesn't appear to want to do that. But then, do they really need to be televised at all? My point is that the experience of working Dark...

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: Death Before Dishonor 2022!
Meltzer says 36,000 buys for DBD - an astonishing number. I'd have guessed about 10% of AEW fans would buy it, which would have been about half what the actual number turned out to be. Good news for ROH. Apparently, about 3 / 4 of those buys were via B / R, a Discovery platform, so that bodes well f...

or you know the booking is actually going as planned and is part of presenting the Briscoes is another way than we have seen or giving them a reason to do certain things etc in the coming weeks months. You know like booking is supposed do….. As someone who has been more than sceptical and critical ...

"We had to get fake IDs to wrestle" is such an awesome line - best stuff I've seen from Mark in a long time.

Re: Death Before Dishonor 2022!
The Gresham slander is really sad. I don't get it. Did these people think / say the same things about Banks and Naomi? Punk in 2014? Unlike in those cases, Gresham (1) showed up, (2) did what he was asked to do, and (3) asked to be released. And Tony is faultless in this situation? The little they ...

Re: Death Before Dishonor 2022!
So the best approach is to cut into the World title match? It was the shortest match on the PPV. The womens title match went almost 18 mins. You telling me they couldn’t of went 13 and gave few more mins to world title. It’s a joke. agree 100% Same. Good for Gresham. Guy deserves way more than he's...

More matches added: https://twitter.com/WrestlingCovers/status/1550674205829636097 Rush / Dragon Lee the most intriguing of the bunch. Seems likely Rush takes it, but Dragon Lee in ROH is good news.

Re: Death Before Dishonor 2022!
The countdown to ROH Death Before Dishonor was really good. I'm patiently waiting what else will be announced. I assume Takeshita will be there, as the fans online seem to really be rooting for him to be a big part of the new ROH, which i'm 100% cool with. Imagine with get a mix of Brian Cage, Colt...

Shirt up on the site for Josh Woods too. Assume that means a full-time roster spot for him, which is great.
