MoS

LMAO that's rich coming from you. Sorry you cannot handle any kind of criticism of your favourites. And I am sorry your favourites suck

There was plenty of blood and violence when Mox and Kingston were feuding too. It didn't make the female viewers tune out. I think Meltzer is focusing too much on that aspect, because he doesn't want to blame Omega. Ever since the show started revolving around him cutting shitty smug promos and doing putrid nauseating melodramatic angles with his equally terrible Elite buddies, AEW's ratings have declined considerably and the women have given up watching. I WONDER WHY HMM

I despise this. Fuck this shit

Watching all this shitty Elite melodrama, I just feel so so terrible, so bad for Mox. Dude deserves so much better than this

This will mean something to very few people, like @ButchReedMark and @ohtani's jacket and @Dav'oh, but of all things, this reminded me of when Andrew Strauss did not realise he was still on air while doing commentary for a special Lord's cricket match and called Kevin Pietersen a cunt on national TV

Speaking of WWE's booking of their women, given the Wednesday Night Wars end tonight, I think it's fair to say that NXT lost the war when they failed to follow up on Rhea's title win. They should have made the entire show revolve around her after that. 1998 Steve Austin level

Darby Allin is the fucking man

WALTER should honestly squash Ciampa in 2 mins

Yeah and tbf to AEW, this one has more reason to happen than the original one had. That one was out of nowhere. This QT promo was whatever but for some reason I hate the fact that the term "vanilla midgets" was used on TV

Heel Jericho >>> Face Jericho, but as far as face Jericho promos go, that was one of the better ones. I actually don't remember the last face promo he cut as good as this. Low bar to clear cuz again face Jericho has never really worked, but still

I thought the match was very sloppy and went way too long. I like Hangman though. It looks like they might be building to an Omega-Page title match, and imo, they should pull the trigger on the title switch

It cannot be emphasised enough just how terrible these rappers are

He really should have done some iconic ad the way Macho did Slim Jim

Many thanks! Also, not to be too much of a nerd but... The answer is clearly De Niro, right? GOAT peak work, the peak period lasted for a respectable while, embarrassing post-prime with a few decent performances sprinkled here and there

I don't remember this breakdown and I feel so stupid for missing something as good as this. Can a kind soul link this to me? I love Loss breakdowns

I would like to question the wisdom that Brody was this huge money-drawing star. We all know he thought his unprofessionalism made him a bigger draw, but is there any proof of this? Is there proof that he, for instance, drew more money than other gaijins like the Funks, Hansen, Andre, Hogan, etc? I also seem to remember that a lot of dying territories brought him in, hoping his "aura" would lead to them turning around their business and drawing money, but, at least in World Class, that never happened, and he left the territory in worse shape than when he first came in. His smartest move might very well have been to befriend the only historian and custodian of chronicles in wrestling of that time, and therefore get a rep of being this legendary big-draw outlaw, even though actual figures show he doesn't really deserve that rep.

Coach Tony K brings back MIKE TYSON to arrest the ratings slide!!! Will he be able to tear off his t-shirt this time without making all of us laugh at his attempts at doing so?!?!

I mean, the award was named after him cuz he died. Otherwise, I refuse to believe anyone can look at their tag matches and think Brody was a better brawler than Hansen. Like, all the proof is RIGHT there.

I am right now legit debating who the more overrated gaijin is, Brody or Dibiase and Williams

But let us ask the real question, guys: who is better: Ric Flair or Bret Hart? (Please don't ban me)

For me, the thing with Flair always is, no one was as good, as frequently, for as long in as every single aspect of wrestling, despite terrible and consistently counter-productive booking, than Flair was. It's why I think there's a spiritual connection between Flair and Bryan. The ability to be transcendentally great for as long as these two despite dealing with booking that (often intentionally) crippled them, has to count for a lot. Just shows how preternaturally good at wrestling they both are, in my opinion

I mean, JvK spent the entire 2016 ballot being rude, insulting and condescending to anyone and everyone who didn't have Flair in their top 5, so what were we even expecting? (This is coming from someone who definitely as of now has Flair in their top 5.) He is all about healthy debates and discussions...right until someone challenges his core beliefs, at which point they are just stupid rubes who need re-education. Like, just imagine thinking Rick Martel is not a GOAT. Even worse, imagine holding the blasphemous belief that counting the number of and different kinds of suplexes some wrestler does is not a metric by itself for judging how great they were in-ring. However, I have to say that the idea that Daniel Bryan's case will be uplifted due to a bunch of casual rubes in 2026 is so hilariously uninformed, it makes all the bad takes worth it. Yeah, voting for the tiny vegan guy the billion-dollar promotion has tried to bury for the last 10 years, only to fail again and again just cuz he is so amazing at wrestling, to the point he has become their most consistent main-eventer despite standing for everything Vince hates, is just uninformed hipsterism. Hell, Daniel Bryan is literally the spiritual successor to Ric Flair. But fuck all "modern computer-generated video game workers" I guess.

If you had told me a year back that the first wrestling show to have fans back in more than a year would be Wrestlemania this year, that UFC would shortly also bring back the fans for their live events at roughly the same time, and that the first two UFC shows would sell out immediately in 2 minutes while the two-night WM event wouldn't in two weeks, I would have genuinely called you deluded

Some good points raised by Meltzer about how they often do teases and then not follow up on them at all

what utter shit is this
