Coffey

About time for Nia Jax to come out and injure some people, yeah?

I legit don't know who half the motherfuckers in this stupid match even are so far.

Oh yeah, they totally blew the fuckin roof off. 40k people went crazy Meanwhile in reality this shit sucks so far. Half of them can't even do a fucking stomp correctly.

Ain't no one gonna have a clue who she is, either. I don't know what all we're building toward for WrestleMania but Rock Vs. Roman, Punk Vs. Seth & Cody Vs. Gunther would be a great card for me. I know Gunther cut that promo on Seth though, and we still have Elimination Chamber before WrestleMania, so who knows? Replace Brock Lesnar with Bron Steiner, imo.

Combine this with other awful stories we've heard, like what happened with Ashley Massaro. Or even just dumb rumors, like the Shawn Michaels bearskin rug & it really starts to paint a picture about Vince McMahon's sexual depravity, for sure. I couldn't even finish reading the goddamn text messages they were so heinous.

Samoa Joe started the show as a badass champion. Hook got some heat back after his loss. Hardy/Swerve, Hangman/Penta & Wardlow/Trent were all entertaining. I liked the Deonna\Toni segment & even the Moxley promo. So yeah, I am quite happy so far.

Honestly this has been a great show so far.. until this Red Velvet//Thunder Rosa match.

I'll say this, Mauro would be an improvement over Excalibur.

Is RAW still going to be live? I didn't know Netflix had live shows. Are there still going to be commercials? I pay for Netflix for commercial free viewing. Is RAW going to go back to 2-hours? Since it will be on Netflix, I assume the advertising is different & they don't have to appease USA anymore, what does this mean for the maturity level of the content? So many questions & we just get a Twitter post from Netflix. Guess I'm waiting for an article with the details. Huge news though. Nick Khan has to be one of the biggest WWE hires ever, right?

As a Green Bay Packers fan, this season felt like a fever dream. I didn't expect to even be in the playoff picture, let alone making the playoffs & winning a game in the playoffs. Our future looks bright. That being said, I'm tired of losing to the 49ers all the damn time in the postseason, so I'm pulling for anyone but them, even the Detroit Lions from the same NFC North division as the Packers. Ravens Vs. Lions is what I'm hoping for. End this dumb Taylor Swift/Travis Kelce Chiefs side story nonsense.

I wouldn't be surprised to see A.J. Lee return, maybe at the Royal Rumble. The Instagram video of her training with Punk, Bayley talking about her in interviews & bringing up the wife in the Seth/Punk promo. All little clues. They could do Lee/Lynch & Punk/Seth then Lee/Punk Vs. Seth/Lynch.

True!

I wonder how many burner accounts Tony Khan has. The shit that he's willing to post on his main, you know he's got a burner account that's even worse. And he should be busy, probably too busy to ever care about Twitter, but he obviously does very much care. Regardless of wrestling, football, soccer & everything on his plate.

I been watching New Japan longer than AEW has even existed. Hell, I've been watching Puro since ordering VHS tapes back in what, the late 90's? What a wild statement. I just want the biggest show of the year for New Japan to feel like a good new fresh show. Instead, it was just long with a lot of the same old stuff we're accustomed to for years now. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm glad that the title is off Sanada, his reign was mega boring but... *points to whole roster of scrubs* I can't get exited for Evil Vs Naito. I don't care about a Tanahashi TV title reign in 2024. Moxley bleeding in Japan is just as shit as him bleeding in the States. Danielson spent the entire match working Okada's arm & then still just got hit with the Rainmaker & lost, so it all felt pointless. I don't know, I don't see how I'm the guy on the outside looking in here.

Well, you weren't wrong. That was a very lackluster, dare I say boring show. Not just because it was five hours long either. New Japan just feels completely ice cold right now. Title reigns of guys like Evil & Sanada didn't help but going back to Naito isn't going to do anything either. Plus having Danielson & Moxley on the show actually made it feel less fresh to me as well. Tanahashi winning was hilarious for all the wrong reasons. A lot of the roster just looks old, slow & fat. Not that guys like Yano were ever in great shape or anything but man... I don't get how they keep trotting out guys like Chase Owens, even for preshow battles royals. Most of the factions in New Japan have felt like nWo b-team for YEARS. A whole roster of Vincent, Brian Addams, Wallstreet & Horace Hogan isn't getting anyone over. Zack Sabre, Jr. felt like a star & then lost which got a chuckle out of me. The ending of Dragon/Okada felt like it came out of nowhere & like the match wasn't over yet. Yota Tsuki Vs. Yuya Uemura was fun for me because I wasn't familiar with either guy & it felt fresh. I liked their finish too & they looked in pretty good shape. I will say, the change in appearance for David Finlay did him a lot of favors too. New Japan needs help. Kind of feel like the rose came off the bloom right around when they started cracking down on Twitter posts of their shows.

Match will probably be better though...

I'll be watching tonight. I haven't watched an AEW show is quite some time. Curious about the Jericho/Kylie Rae rumors I've heard about today too.

PWO in a nutshell.

KawadaSmile the PWO Grand Master!

The 1980's WWF were fucking WILD. Like, yes, EVERYONE was big but they were all SO big that even the huge guys looked... normal when on screen. Warlord was like 6'5", 330lbs. But fucking Hogan was also like 6'5", 300 so he wasn't THAT much bigger. So Warlord instead of being one of the biggest dudes around was just another muscle guy. I was watching an old WWF Saturday Night's Main Event. It was Mr. Wonderful Paul Orndorf (as a babyface, also super jacked) against King Kong Bundy. Bundy made Wonderful look tiny. Then Andre the Giant came out to help Bundy & my god, it really put into perspective how big Andre was.

Also, like Swerve has caught on, so they should strike while the iron is hot. The entrance & Nana dance is over. If anything, they should be giving Moxley some time off. Have to start giving Swerve big wins.

AEW should be making Swerve their top guy. He has more charisma & ability than someone like Hangman Page ever did.

Regardless of what the state of the WWE Network becomes, as it pertains to footage from yesteryear, I will forever be grateful for getting a chance to see The Last Battle of Atlanta. I must have watched that five times.

Man, not just The Bunny but they missed a goldmine, imo, with The Butcher & Blade too. That whole group felt like old school pro wrestling.

Goldberg when he beat Brock at Survivor Series & Brock when he won the title back from Kofi as well. Also, the Wrestlemania where Daniel Bryan was distracted by AJ Lee & immediately ate a finish but I think that's kind of different. I agree though. With anything, really, there's always a point where you're like, this was cool at first but now it's just cliché & boring. Someone should bring back using the drop down as an actual trip again just because it's been so long.
