The Jim Cornette Experience
WingedEagle replied to flyonthewall2983's topic in Publications and Podcasts
Unfortunately no surprise from someone proactively looking to defend Cornette, above and beyond all others, against any recent accusations. Spare no expense, but leave the memories alone! -
You should check out their match from last year's BOSJ.

Generally agree with the thoughts above. At the end of the day this managed to exceed expectations that were tempered by the fact it was a TV match with all of one week's build with a finish setting up subsequent TV. Give these two a PPV platform and time and you've got potential for a legit MOTYC. What stood out to be here was just how terrific a bumper Banks is. She almost perfectly straddles the line of exaggerating her bumps and sells to maximize the damage taken without becoming at all comical. Just incredible timing and knowing when to extend and cut off those pauses and facials while working on defense. Meanwhile every time Shirai is given more than a few minutes on TV she shows why she's one of the best workers in the world. Hoping we see that rematch one day. ***3/4

It wasn't nearly enough to suggest that they've hired Kevin Dunn, but it seemed like there were more camera jumps on TV this week than I recall from AEW. Has this always been the case or am I just noticing it?

Thanks. May consider checking it out at some point then. Always open to paying for big screen rasslin.

Is this service easily accessible via firestick, PS4 or otherwise on a big screen?

Many of us are terrible, awful people who take their cues from terrible, awful people. Its really a lot of fun here. -

Anyone else check this out since the question was posed a few years back? -

When's the last time Low Ki wasn't living on his rep and Hitman gear? I suppose this is one way to get his name out there, but would bet against it working out as he might hope for. -
Did anyone ever find out who these guys were?

Have to think they're pretty significant at this point. He's undoubtedly in close quarters with the agents who've tested positive so his exposure is high and counting on some good fortune to come his way.

Not a trend I'm familiar with in this unfortunate story or in many other cases where accusations are leveled against an individual. I wasn't sure what may have made JC different.

Why does one have to assume this?

Wrestling parallels w/ wider cultural trends
WingedEagle replied to funkdoc's topic in Pro Wrestling
Better late than never. Hopefully the groundwork laid elsewhere in society forces the industry to take these things more seriously. -
Last night and the PPV started giving me WCW feels about the current state of the company. Perhaps that's way off base or perhaps it should've occurred to me earlier, but between the tag title nonsense both nights, main event segments built around multiple performers who can't/won't/shouldn't work and all of the bad comedy/skits its almost as if they're actively trying to run off the audience.

Amen! The fact this thread is at 25 pages because someone has a hate porn podcast about wrestling is just incredible to me. Kudos to him for finding his niche. It works in sports, news and all other aspects of pop culture so why not wrestling? Its just not for me.

From everything I've read/heard he stopped being a fan of professional wrestling quite a long time ago. He may have his fans but I'd contend their interest in him has nothing to do with wrestling. He's undoubtedly relevant to them. But that's the extent of his relevance.

Backlash 2020 - The one with the GREATEST MATCH EVER

Doesn't touch Charlotte/Ripley for me, but I wouldn't argue with someone who viewed it that way. -

Cosign. Not even troubled by the production. That may change when it affects every match on every card, but as a one off, much like AJ/Taker, I'm in. -
Backlash 2020 - The one with the GREATEST MATCH EVER
WingedEagle replied to KawadaSmile's topic in WWE
I'm sure they have no idea, but in theory this is a straight wrestling match. Which presumably means limited dastardliness. -

Edge looks incredibly spry early on here. Impressive to see him show up in this kind of shape and apparently with a chip on his shoulder after the Mania debacle.
