To be fair, the MIchelle McCool/Layla stuff was usually pretty entertaining but yeah she wasn't a trailblazing pioneer.
-
Not to defend what she did, but Jasmine Nyx is a young person doing young person dumb things. Also as far as the politics talk, I get both points of view. On one hand, yes WWE seems to be getting more comfortable with being more openly MAGA (which they always were but just started hiding it when Trump became more polarizing). On the other, it does come off as beating a dead horse when it seems like its all some folks here want to talk about and I can see how it can be off putting. So while now it's becoming more on-topic to discuss politics because WWE itself is talking about it, there's nothing wrong with being cognizant of those who may be getting tired of hearing about it. Sometimes folks just want to watch a rasslin show and turn their brains off. I just don't want to see fights break out all over the place over it is all.. Perhaps we should have a dedicated MAGAMANIA thread or something so the folks don't want to see it don't have to.

Ugh, just saw the fan footage and he had to be carried to the back. That sucks to see.
-
Knowing the injury happened, I was looking to see what might have caused it. Looking at the way he splatted on the floor when Brutus pulled him out, and seeing him in the wide shot trying to pull himself to his feet by the announce table, it looked like maybe he got the wind knocked out of him when he hit the floor.
-
I didn't realize he wore the headgear because he literally had to have his goddamn ear reattached. Getting cauliflowered so bad you need your ear amputated is the gnarliest shit I've ever heard Also I love Toni Storm's new gimmick of trying to get the announcers to break every week. Her saying that she wouldn't go around calling herself a CEO right now in a post-Luigi world got a pop from me.
-
I don't doubt he can get bookings, but if he left New Japan because they wouldn't pay him what he wanted he sure as hell isn't going to get that kind of money doing random indy shows.
-
AEW announced they are doing a Grand Slam in Arena Mexico, I wouldn't be surprised to see Naito show up there for old time's sake (since his whole gimmick was based over being taunted by the fans in Mexico. I agree though, not sure where Naito goes from here. He's obviously trying to secure the bag at the end of his run, but he's way too old and busted to survive in AEW and no one past the Raw after Mania crowd will know who he is in WWE. Plus does he really want people's last image of him being whatever stereotypical Japanese gimmick he'd surely end up with? Maybe he just wants to spend his twilight years surfing with Nak, either way he deserves the big payday if he gets it.

They 100% are running it back at All In, and it's not like the undefeated streak was lost to some scrub. Also Mercedes doing the German off the apron tease and then hooking the bottom rope with her feet to pull herself back up was one of those things that looks simple but is super impressive to be able to do.
-
I often wonder if the only reason it didn't turn into a full-on shoot was that Foley was handcuffed.
-
I think it also has a lot to do with most wrestling fans not harboring illusions (at least historically to that point) weren't always the best people, but having one become a family annihilator was beyond the pale even by already known scummy wrestler behavior.
-
Normally I'd say yes but considering Jade hasn't been winning many friends in the locker room I wouldn't be surprised if Naomi goes over. Especially since Jade's been beating her ass pretty much the entire build.
-
Not everything is hitting, but Cody/Cena, Gunther/Jey, Roman/Punk/Seth are all matches I'm looking forward to. Charlotte/Tiffany will either be a great match or an entertaining trainwreck, and even Naomi/Jade has been built pretty well. I suppose compared to a typical AEW PPV with MOTY candidates from top to bottom it's kind of bland, but I expect a pretty entertaining show.
-
That was the oddest injury too, it just looked like his ankle rolled on the landing which has gotta be the most unlikely result of a buckle bomb spot.
-
Listening to the Observer Radio from over the weekend, and Dave pretty much states (in his typical Dave way) that Charlotte is in her feels about being programmed with someone who's the younger version of herself which is why she's been going out of her way to steamroll Tiffany at every turn. Also kind of implied that I might have been right and they had Wade Barrett out there in case shit went down. This match has the potential to be a legendary mess at Mania if one or the other decides not to play ball.
-
Yuta's from Philly, so the fans decided to take the opportunity to tell him to GFY because, well Philly.
-
The last time we saw them the Bucks were hauling ass out of the building because the Death Riders were causing havoc everywhere. It makes zero sense for them to return just to help Mox win. If anything they should have cost him the title as a "fuck you' for messing up their company. I was shocked at the finish just because I thought the whole reason they did what they did last time was to set up Swerve winning as the big blow off.
-
Toni Storm going full Rocky for this match is top notch btw.
-
Big Match Bill getting this show kicked off proper.
-
Looks like Anthony Bowens is in line for a push which sounds good to me.
-
All signs point to this being another typically overstuffed AEW PPV that will no doubt have excellent matches but will have everyone saying "dang it didn't need to be THIS long" by the end. I suppose there could be worse problems a promotion could have than having too many great matches on ever show. My big prediction is of course ol' Cope getting Sting'd by FTR, since it seems like the plan is going to be FTR vs Edge & Christian at All In.
-
just tuned in, looks like i made it just in time
-
Also it appears that folks don't want to be programmed with Charlotte since she has a tendency to steamroll everyone she's paired up with which was an interesting development.
-
Meltzer kind of implied they had Wade Barrett be the moderator in that segment in case shit got real, as it seems that Tiffy was out there doing her damndedst trying to keep Charlotte from steamrolling her like in their last segment and Charlotte was getting flustered over it.
-
I figured he'd have already been back in by now, but I suppose he's going to be a day after Mania moment. I just hope whatever he had going on is better now, as it seemed he may have been having some personal issues.
-
Cena and Cody throwing verbal bombs leading to Cena getting laid out is what this angle should have been two weeks ago but we got there eventually. Jey having to watch Gunther murder his brother while not being able to do anything about it is gonna lead to the roof being blown off the stadium when he wins the title. Also I still don't get the booking for the women's world title match. They've had both Bianca and Rhea acting like assholes and in the process they fucked around and turned Iyo into a massive babyface. I don't think that was the plan, so what are we doing here?
