I'm just curious, what's wrong with a goatee?

Keith Lee has been one of my favorite guys to watch for the last 5 or 6 years, and I am all for people doing whatever makes them happy. But man, this new look is not doing him any favors. Maybe if he shaved his head and was just rocking the beard it'd be okay, but as it stands he has gone from looking like a big, handsome, intimidating son of a bitch to looking like a heavy set old man.

I totally understand your rant, and that card absolutely looks terrible, and I too would be pissed if I were paying to watch it. But I just wanted to say that while the "Work Horseman" name is the shits, and I don't think much of Henry... JD Drake is actually a pretty damn good worker and I feel like he is someone they could be doing a hell of a lot more with. If you can find it, his match with Black Taurus at the 2022 Battle of Los Angeles was fantastic.

I think he was joking about the judicial system. Also.... Doesn't Ragemaster have a Kid Rock album he should be listening too?

That's terrible news. RIP Mr. Miller Just recently finished their new book, and came to realize what remarkable careers they really had.

You're not alone. After the debacle that was him in last years Rumble, and the groan I gave when he came out last night. I have to admit I may have chuckled at his misfortune as well.

Brock Lesnar vs Jon Jones to unify the WWE and UFC Titles at Wrestlemania 40 is going to draw giant PPV numbers.

God Damn. Those two killed each other. That German suplex was millimeters away from Charlotte having a broken fuckin neck.

Rollins must have inherited the Triple H ridiculously over the top intro spot, because that costume had my house laughing our asses off like the days of the Conan or Terminator entrances.

Imagine if Cena had attempted to pull on that STF, he might have gotten the submission!

The girls did a great job opening the NXT show today, and holy shit I hope Tiffany Stratton is okay after taking that bump to the floor where everyone pretty much failed to catch her.

I was just coming back to say exactly that. Boo on them for treating Nicole Matthews like a fucking scrub. They could have used anyone in that spot, and didn't need a well respected veteran with her level of talent to do a 2 minute TV job. Put her in there with Julia Hart or somebody where she can use all of that experience to help them get better.

The opening segment was good, albeit a bit too cutesy and shooty, but at least it potentially gets some new blood in the title picture. The Cassidy/Jarrett match was well put together and enjoyable, and I've hated JJ since 1995 so that is quite a compliment coming from me! Toni Storm deserves so much better than this Outcasts shit. The angle sucks, Saraya is an albatross, and Ruby isn't over. This main event should be bat shit crazy!

@The Thread Killer Thank You for summing that up. Doesn't sound like anything particularly egregious on Corny's end, and just a bunch of Twidiots losing their shit about nothing.

So, there is apparently some kind of to do about Riho shutting down her Twitter account, Cornette saying something on his podcast (maybe about Hana Kimura?) and Corny fans/AEW fans blaming each other that I am hoping someone here can explain without me actually having to read peoples tweets or listen to Cornette rant about AEW?

It's too bad they ended that Roxanne/Meiko match with the collapsing/stretcher angle. That was a pretty fantastic match, and it certainly didn't need that bullshit.

It has to be Abrams UWF. @GeneJackson95 and I just attempted a podcast of watching the whole run and after 12 episodes we are switching up the concept because we just can't take it. It is nothing but repetitive squash matches with the same talent over and over again that build to absolutely nothing, because there are no house shows or pay per views to build too. You have Abrams, Albano, and John Tolos screaming on nearly every episode, sometimes in mutiple segments and it's getting absolutely no one over. Then you have the utter garbage like Tony Halme as The Viking using an elbow drop to send guys out on a stretcher. Tolos claiming Dan Spivey is at his villa in Greece to cover the fact that he is in Japan and isn't coming back. Billy Jack Haynes cutting an interview againat Colonel Debeers where he claimed he was "babysat by black people" and was "fighting for the blacks and the orientals." Then you have the really famous stuff like Debeers vs the black referee, an angle which apart from being tasteless, is totally nonsensical, when you see how it's run. You also have the other referee that no sells the chair shots from Dr. Death and is lucky to be alive, footage that they would show multiple times for whatever reason!! Seriously, all of that! and that all happens in the first 12 episodes of the fucking show. It's amateur hour, and it only gets worse. Eventually they do get a PPV to build toward, but it only gets worse. So Yeah, that'd get my vote!

I feel like Strickland would absolutely be fine on his own. But if they insist on him having lackeys, aren't those Bear Country guys still on the roster? They are big and can at least kind of work.

Riho and Emi Sakura had a pretty fun match on Rampage. The Dustin Rhodes/Keith Lee vs Shane Strickland/Parker Boudreaux main event was also pretty good.... despite Parker being an actively terrible wrestler, and him being absolutely dwarfed by both opponents killed any tough guy aura he may have projected.

Glad that Kommander got to hit all of his batshit ridiculous spots in his introduction to a mainstream audience. Now we need to get Arez out of his MLW deal and bring him in for one of these spotfests. Probably the best choice for a winner as well.

Say that again louder for the folks that didn't watch it. That match was fantastic.

I wish I had on my employer whatever Jay Lethal has on Tony Khan. I'd never fucking work again.

So MJF goes from being "ready to take a hand full of pills" to being jealous of Danielsons family to tormenting his children all in less than 5 minutes. This character has jumped the shark at this point and this guy obviously can't be trusted to come up with this own shit. Put the belt on Danielson and send him to WWE where they can reign this shit in.

That was a fire opener between Cassidy and Yuta. Definite shades of their Chikara training coming out in that one.

I am not a fan of MJF and his weekly shooty, shooty, heel, heel promo's but the audible spit take from Taz when he mentioned "Five Star Bangers" was probably the highlight of the show this week.
