Add SCU to the group of Marko, Librarian, Dark Order, Sonny Kiss & Spears as acts I would be happy to never see again.

Well I def liked that one more than their other encounters. Hard hitting and shorter.

This is great tv

Um, Mox vs Darby? Yes, please!

Hope this goes less than five minutes and Darby wins clean in the middle with the coffin drop

Here’s to hoping... because they’re following it up with Marko Stunt & Dark Order...

The Superstar Billy Graham statements are even worse when you look at the shape he's currently in & realize he's only alive because a girl died in a car wreck & was a donor for him to get a new liver. He also didn't bump like the guys of today. You can't just talk for two minutes & flex a few times with your shirt off anymore. I'm not saying I wouldn't like to see wrestlers get bigger but I don't think steroids in 2019-2020 & beyond is the answer. Even if I was a fan of Jinder. I also wish WWE would bring back the fat monsters. When I was growing up, you had Kamala, Earthquake, Tugboat, Yokozuna, Big Boss Man, One Man Gang, King Kong Bundy and the ultimate hoss in André the Giant. All of them were larger than life. Some, like Boss Man, deceptively quick. All were also quite tall. Who are the hosses nowadays? Freakin' Ivar & Otis? That's part of the reason I want Braun Strowman to succeed. I just want guys that look different. Gimme an AOP push. Make WALTER a main roster top guy. We need more variety. Which, I mean, that would also work with having a small guy too. But when the whole roster is those small flippy guys, like in AEW... man.

Did someone mention John "Bradshaw" Cena?

I'm going to stay in my fantasy world that someone from NWA is reading PWO. I'm going to get on that intro one day, goddamnit!

"Nobody cosplaying wrestling in this here match." - Jim Cornette That just happened. Just now.

The finish surprised me. I thought they were just getting ready to hit the next stage of the match & it just ended so abruptly. Low Ki didn't even get in a lot of his normal spots, which feels really reigned in for a Low Ki match. I'm shocked he didn't "get all of his shit in" so to speak. He doesn't strike me as the kind of guy that is OK with being underneath for that much & it was part of the appeal for me of that match. I really like Timothy Thatcher. He stands out nowadays because he feels so old school & mat based in a sea of high flyers & big spots.

I can't wait for the modern era version of Seth Rollins on the bearskin rug rumors to start!

I'm about to watch the MLW Fusion episode right now that just premiered five hours ago. The PPV got me hype on the promotion again, so I figured I should return to checking it out. Since I've pretty much abandoned RAW & only watch an hour of NWA Power on Tuesday, my wrestling time is open on non-PPV weeks outside of Wednesday night. So adding in an hour of MLW again won't be too difficult. I'm a big fan of a lot of their roster. More promotions could use an LA Park style wrestler. AEW, in example, would kill for a stout motherfucker that'll just punch a dude in the mouth. They should probably be using Dustin Rhodes more while they still can.

I wouldn't be surprised if, despite the Sinclair backings, ROH is dead in two years.

What's going on with Charles? He's not been around much lately. Hope everything is alright. Never see that dude anymore. Not even on Twitter.

Honestly you could see everything via Twitter gifs.

I feel like we're going to be having this discussion all over again when Marty Scurll leaves ROH for AEW as well.

I actually think giving PAC a valet would help him a lot. Because then he could play off of her as being super paranoid & jealous & raging out at others because of her like Randy Savage did in his early heel WWF days. It would at least give his character some motivation & potentially give another woman on the roster something to do.

I caught some of that today. Jordynne Grace had retweeted it or responded to it & someone on my Timeline had retweeted or replied to her response of it. I clicked on it & saw that woman's page & was immediately like "whoa" so just in case anyone is going to check it out, it's super NSFW. But yeah, pretty crazy accusations with the screenshots of the chats & whatnot. Not a good look for Chasyn whom before this thread, I had honestly never even heard of.

It's all good, Bubba. Keep being yourself. You're allowed to dislike NWA Power & like AEW if that's more your cup of tea. We're just breaking your balls.

He's definitely better than Spears in-ring, I don't think anyone would question that. The issue is that despite being flashier, they're both just super boring. They don't really seem to have a whole lot of character or direction. PAC is "The bastard" but he's basically "a heel that flips." Shawn Spears is "The Chairman" but he's basically undercard heel that hit Cody with a chair once (and still lost the blowoff). They don't have motivations. And if AEW wants people to care about them, we gotta hear from them more. More non-wrestling stuff. More angles or promos or whatever. PAC has done commentary & it didn't resonate. He's cut a promo & it didn't resonate. He's had multiple matches & despite winning most of them, it's not really resonating. So they need to try something different or stop trying. PAC is a good case for having a midcard belt. Shawn Spears is just, I think, a lost cause in his current direction. I don't know if he's miscast or what. But right now, it feels like AEW is wasting Tully with him & the best thing Shawn ever did was marry Peyton. I actually think Spears should be in a tag team. Get him a partner, keep them both with Tully and have them Spike Piledrive people & climb the tag ranks.

I feel like we've already seen this match six fucking times & I've never once given a fuck.

At least he made it through that one without calling wrestlers cosplayers! #Progress

AEW really need a Sid or a Goldberg. It was apparent on this show. And by that I mean, just someone that can go out there & kill somebody. QUICKLY. A squash match or two would go a super long way on cards full of 20-minute spotfests. Even the AEW Dynamite show feels like they have way too much in-ring all the time. The best things they've done have been like the Cody promo, the Jericho vignette & the segment with Cody breaking the glass to get at the Inner Circle. All non-wrestling stuff. Give us a reason to buy into the characters & stories. They also need to establish finishes again. Kicking out of everything doesn't make you look tough, it makes the match look fake. Even worse, a lot of the finishes getting kicked out of that are supposed to be near falls were never established in AEW. So if you don't have knowledge about them from before AEW, it doesn't mean anything to you when it gets kicked out of. I'm not clamoring for a return to the 80's where the finishes are a reverse neckbreaker, fisherman's suplex & DDT... but the WWE epic style main events being the curtain jerk are a real problem in AEW.
