tbh luring cody back under the guise of making him into a main event babyface champion so as to lure other AEW guys away in the future only to totally own and humiliate him on consecutive nights at the height of his popularity is a good bit
forget dunking on the kid who doesn't know better in the replies, dunk on this fucking dork instead, acting like Sami Zayn bringing back the move that made him famous *20 years ago* is some kind of major fuck up. again, not knowing ball is the most pressing issue in the world.
watching the WWE getting hotter while another promotion makes a year plus of unforced errors, in so many different ways, to destroy the good will that got them so far to begin with
[babyface in an eyepatch saves his friends from the mean technical heels who injured him, reuniting with them to a huge pop, setting up a bloody 4v4 street fight]
fuck JCP style booking!!!
happy to be told that a Bloodline segment went 40 minutes. i have to imagine if you are super into the WWE right now, your dream is to have a show with no matches and a full two hours of Bloodline Cinema, so this is the furthest step towards that yet. rooting for you guys.

ah man idk. we got a bunch of awesome moments, matches, promos, angles, and feuds, it was also incredibly funny, made the world's most annoying people really mad, and a day after it was over, the company still had one of its best shows ever. hard to know for sure.
me, 5 minutes ago: everyone's dream matches are shit, who caress, shut up
me, this very moment: joe/iiconic duo vs. low ki/laycool is the only match i want to see
it absolutely rocks that like 50% of the people who went to the first night of Wrestle Kingdom saw that Will Ospreay would main event the next show and collectively decided that they were good actually
Since October 7, Sami Zayn's followers on social media have been exposed to the fact that he has 'liked' some controversial tweets about the war, the worst of which is a horrifying article whose the title is "Israel's final solution for the Palestinians" …
torn between admiring the grift of every WWE TV deal in the last decade feeling like they are swindling a new town by promising to build a monorail but also hating them on a spiritual level and wanting them to die
Adam Cole is an obvious get but for the greater good he should be locked in a room for six months to detox and get the the Shawn Michaels instruction out of his system. play him a loop of his old 2013 era heel work and some ECW Shane Douglas until his brain works right again.
Punk potentially leaving AEW stuck with what would be, without him, a totally unnecessary third show is also incredibly good. nobody in wrestling has a better nose for a good bit.
the WWE making a documentary series about a period of time where they drove half their audience or more away and which ended with one of their wrestlers murdering his family and then himself is a v bold choice, but i am absolutely going to watch all of it
Fuck it,
American pro wrestling ruined professional wrestling as a whole focusing it more on theatrics and showman than pure sport and skill like Puroresu and Lucha Libre.
In the process, brainwashing every American wrestling fan in the process thinking it only has 1 style.
1. this would be dogshit. hunter trying to work babyface against a power guy is maybe the thing he is worst at (outside of staying married, running a developmental, the funny stuff, etc.).
2. no match has ever been a banger
3. if your dream WALTER match is HHH, get help please.
that's right, Jay and Mark Briscoe driving like ten minutes away from their house in 2005 to an outdoor indie show in a parking lot to shoot punch each other and hit each other with a chair as hard as possible
Raj, if I was in the crowd and i saw someone take a gunshot to the face and fire back up, i would chant that for the first time in my life. that would absolutely rule.
Eddie Kingston is so great that I'm not sure if a sell this great is even in his top ten or twenty five ever
(CZW Out With The Old, In With The New, 4/7/2007)
one of the attitude era tentpoles came back in the early 2010s to get eaten alive, finding out just how short his arms were. the other sat down for ten plus minutes to film a video game ad and produced one of the best pretape promos of all time.
you commented this in response to a video explaining who he is, you water brained dullard. you are willfully stupid and flaunt your refusal to learn even as a simple lesson is right in front of your eyes. you should not be allowed to operate motor vehicles.
Punk potentially leaving AEW stuck with what would be, without him, a totally unnecessary third show is also incredibly good. nobody in wrestling has a better nose for a good bit.
i am an insane person, granted, but there is something real weird to me about mostly just chanting "WOMENS WRESTLING" during a bloody bully vs. underdog slugfest blowoff match and not, like, for either of them
genuinely: free exit for anyone who wants it, some forced realization that this is the Hanger/Darby/Swerve/Mox/Joe/Eddie show
personally: more blood, more CMLL guys, fire Jericho/Callis/Bucks, either cancel the women's division or give it an entire show
one of the best ever but who peaked a decade ago and have had a horrible time adjusting to lost athleticism until very recently. Ruined or at least significantly sped up the ruin of something beautiful. Somehow most of their critics are still mad at them for the wrong stuff.
everyone knows Eddie Kingston is a big AJPW nerd, wanting to be Kobashi and actually being closer to Kawada, but in a tournament about him overcoming the odds and his own history, he's something so much more interesting finally, the American Hiroyoshi Tenzan.
gave it my best shot. some might be borderline, and realistically it hovers around 50, but that's the point and people who like some of the canon ROH classics more than me might go even further
in which Mitch Page tries a flaming diving headbutt (!), but the towel (!!) slips off his head after he slaps it to try and not also catch himself on fire (!!!), and winds up doing a shoot Hadouken (!!!!)
when i get bummed out i like to fill time with busy work and list making (shocker), so i wanted to maybe help some newer eyes out and so here is a list of some essential and/or just really great/fun Jay Briscoe work
company founded by the Bucks, a billionaire sports team owner, and a man with a U.S. flag skull tattoo on his neck, famously the bastion of progressive ideology in professional wrestling
one of the ten or so best ever, one of the great ace figures of all time, an all-time great babyface whose selling issues are often far overblown, with a real mother fucker of a lariat on him too.
also pictured: Kenta Kobashi
Triple threat of Dusty dying, being unable to come up with babyface anchors as great as Sami and Bayley, and the influence of Shawn Michaels on the way big matches (and eventually most matches) were wrestled. Last one being probably the most guilty.
Cena really only got 2 years out of a 10-12 year top guy run where he was allowed to let it flow like this. if this was not the case, he might be the actual best wrestler of all time instead of "only" in the top ten.
Very admirable of Punk to get an even worse injury than Rollins to not only avoid a terrible match, but also to never dirty himself by touching the Can't Beat Roman Reigns Openweight Title, and far more comically, realistically just stealing millions of dollars from the company.
dear tony khan,
everybody is interested in seeing Jeff Jarrett on TV. Literally everybody. He is not on TV anywhere nea enough. Give him the belt.
Sincerely,
The fans (yes i can speak for everyone, i have that power)
Triple H and Cody Rhodes are perfect for each other, as guys who sort of like old WCW/JCP things, but don't actually get them and always add a WWE sheen on top that makes it worse (HHH as Flair, early AEW presentation being like 45% Nitro/55% modern WWE, War Games)
