I have asked around a bit and so far I know that people have had it working via chromecast not sure about fire stick. Thanks, that's a good sign.
-
Joe and Lashley seem like reasonable bets early on. You'd think an Ambrose heel turn, if its in the works, would occupy him and Rollins initially before either/both move onto Roman. Plus Braun at some point, as well as AJ or anyone else who potentially moves over from Smackdown.

I'm onto the Evolve shows after Suzuki/Riddle and then perhaps some of the WrestleCon show if I can figure out what to watch there. We'll see what I can squeeze in before dinner & Takeover. Then a couple hours tomorrow before Mania to catch up on other stuff. What a weekend. AJPW's Carnival opener will have to wait till next week, along with undoubtedly some other shows.

I'm very excited about this tourney as the lineup is stacked. Has anyone tried watching AJPW's new site through a Fire Stick?

[2018-04-05-GCW-Matt Riddle's Bloodsport] Tom Lawlor vs WALTER
WingedEagle replied to ShittyLittleBoots's topic in April 2018
You *need* to watch more of him. Especially in settings that don't limit him like this. One of the best in the world right now.- 3 replies

Something to Wrestle with Bruce Prichard
WingedEagle replied to Lust Hogan's topic in Publications and Podcasts
I saw that coming… Yep, it's probably gonna be the end for me. Regardless, Prichard being on the WWE payroll in any shape makes the whole thing completely worthless. Yep, that frees up some podcast time. -
Mark Heny is THE MAN. He seems like such a good guy. Is that Martha Hart there?

Something to Wrestle with Bruce Prichard
WingedEagle replied to Lust Hogan's topic in Publications and Podcasts
Per a commercial during the HOF broadcast, the podcast is coming to the WWE Network. You read that correctly. Ridiculous. -
I'd argue Rollins doesn't belong on that list anymore than Papa Shango or Warrior belong for Mania 8.

Hillbilly Jim promos do not make for good television.

Not sure if anyone's watching, but the Dudleys' speeches are very nice. Nothing remarkable or even any really noteworthy or hilarious stories, but its pretty nice to see how great a relationship they have with each other and how much they appreciate a number of folks in the business who helped them along the way, notably Tommy Dreamer. D-Von in particular seems very genuinely nice.

Comments that don't warrant a thread - Part 4
WingedEagle replied to TravJ1979's topic in Pro Wrestling
For the last 6 months I've been doing 6 days a week : 4 days of roughly 40mn to 1H routines (I'm mixing it up, keeping the hardest for Friday) and twice the abs-only workout, which is 12 mn. I'm thinking about getting the App to get more diversity now. I've heard good things and have been intrigued, but I'm already running 4-6 miles 3-5x a week and hitting the elliptical the other days. Not sure how much I need to mix it up. -

How long is the daily workout? -
Three fights cancelled for Saturday's show in the wake of this. I'm not holding my breath on it, but when do they say enough is enough?
-
You would think they would use tearing his gear apart as part of a particularly brutal match or angle by now, even if just once. I don't buy that its due to concerns about his body, but am not sure why they've avoided going that route at some point.
-
Perhaps there are other ways about it, but yes, it really can be that simple. No bells or whistles attached to Okada's current reign, just a string of excellent main event title matches. Let the work generate the buzz.
-
Anything's possible, but after going to the lengths they have throughout the build to babyface Roman and heel Brock on his way out the door, it would seem awfully surprising to take things in the other direction immediately following Mania.

Has wrestling gone overboard with the various streaming services?
WingedEagle replied to rzombie1988's topic in Pro Wrestling
For those that have a Fire Stick, you can watch Stardom World on it via the Silk browser. The quality is phenomenal and a huge upgrade from watching on the computer. -
I'd agree, and went even higher on Balor/Rollins. But when WWE puts out 7+ of weekly TV (when factoring in NXT and 205) along with relatively easy access to a host of other promotions, I wonder where even the type of hardcore, compulsive fan who makes his or her way here draws the line. I'm current on WWE and NJPW, but quite behind on Stardom and have a list of recent matches from other promotions I hope to get through, and that's before even mentioning older footage. This is indeed a first world wrestling problem, but a problem nonetheless.
-
Standards or volume?
-
Don't lose too much sleep over this one. Rollins/Balor was definitely good and probably the best TV match in some time, but MOTYC is a bit of a stretch. If you had Monday off, you'd be hard pressed to call it match of the weekend. Can certainly check it out in full on YT or the Network when its up. It probably didn't matter much by the end, but it didn't help that they went split screen and muted the match to air a WM hype video before even going to a commercial. I get it, but we've got 2 hours of previews & videos coming on Sunday. But I guess those are the priorities these days.
-
Strongly agree with this. While I was never as high on Riddle as some, there was (and is) no denying his talent and output for someone so early in their career. But I didn't find his 2017 all that impressive except when paired with Walter, who essentially always delivers when in with anyone talented.
-
It was actually pretty decent until the finish, but yeah. Not the most inspired go home show we've seen.

Brexit isn't finalized yet, so yes.
