MoS

Not advocating for Omega either way, but I think the best argument for that would be his first match with Jericho which sent NJ World subscriptions skyrocketing worldwide, and also led to more foreigners attending the Tokyo Dome shows, which meant NJ started selling them out for the first time in almost decades, although this was with fewer tickets being put up for sale.

Bron wants his own Last Dance documentary, brother

I checked it out and I liked it a lot. Although - and I know this is tangential, but still - the Teddy Long story and Taker's reaction to him "making a profit" made me laugh at how all these conservative GOP wrestlers are against the evils of communism and socialism and all for freedom of enterprise, except when someone not as powerful as they engages in it, at which point they are all about redistribution of resources haha

Not getting all the praise for Roman-Drew. Thought it was a solid match with a good finishing stretch, nothing more.

How is the new Austin Taker interview? Are there any new stories/tidbits/discussion worth checking out? The first one was great but that was also because Taker had not done a proper out-of-kayfabe interview for the longest time. Now he is everywhere, doing more interviews than the fucking Rock. I dunno if this new interview will tread any new ground.

I swear Taker has had more farewells than Terry Funk has had retirements

Apparently he was also a dick to Jake when his rehab was ongoing which he supposedly admitted on Reddit. Also apparently would send pics in his undies to women on Twitter and then later laugh it off This does not maae the bullying or the gaslighting right; as I mentioned above, there should still be an investigation about this, and everyone involved should be held accountable. But because he went from mega-face to super-heel so quickly, I don't think people are going to push the powers-that-be to do something about it. He just lost all sympathy and did so very quickly. It's unfortunate, but it is what it is

Fwiw, he made his account private. To go from having 4k likes on a tweet, with everyone expressing sympathy, to getting dragged over the coals for the many many shitty things he said, enough to lock his account, within 12 hours is a spectacularly steep fall from grace. Imo the DDP company should still be investigated because pieces of shit can also be bullied and treated unfairly. But unfortunately, nothing will come out of this because his past actions cooked his goose and people stopped sympathising with him.

Beginning to see why people didn't want this guy around

LMAO I forgot this is wrestling and there are absolutely zero good people here I get the "edgy Twitter comedian" thing, but the Cody tweet is just from 2 years ago, and that is a pretty good reason for disliking someone

If true, it is really petty and terrible. Also, is the 6'5" guy DDP?

The women's match was really good, but Dr. Baker is the biggest, more over wrestler in AEW women's division. At this point, the women's world championship needs her more than she needs the title, so I hope Britt gets the world title soon. She is THE women's star

Why couldn't they have just done this Jade angle last week instead of making her cut a long, terrible promo?

I say this every week, but it really is incredible how good Kingston is. Whether doing promos, interviews, or doing commentary, he is the absolute best. Also the 2nd best thing about BTE after John Silver. What an extraordinary talent.

You're going to watch Glow or some shit, aren't you I would have rather Cassidy squash Superdork

Hey our opinions have always differed on a lot of wrestling. I know how much wrestling you have watched though (sometimes almost like a masochist ritual lmao) so I would never insult that, no disrespect intended!! .....now Omega and the Bucks, all the disrespect in the world intended, they are fucking dorks

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA JR just fucked up like he always does and this time he called PWI PWO, so looking forward to a bunch of newbies googling PWO and signing up here and telling us Omega is the GOAT and the YB are the GOAT tag team.

The balance of power continues to shift or something

Thanksgiving dinner with Rock will be awkward this year

I know I argued with @El-P about imposing a bullshit moral inquisition on those who still watch WWE, but it's really becoming increasingly morally untenable to watch this promotion in good conscience

IIRC, it was originally 35 because the Joshi girls used to mandatorily retire at 25. That hasn't been the case for decades now, and thus the age limit is so obviously silly, I dunno why Meltzer doesn't change it beyond the fact that he is stubborn and obstinate.

You laugh, but Trish Stratus got more votes than Roman Reigns, so I am looking forward to Nikki-sawa doing better than Roman Reigns as well. Akiyama getting in but poor Taue still being out hurts my soul.

I am firmly convinced that if this had not happened, Becky would have lost to Ronda at Survivor Series and this would have been the end of her run. The organization had to be dragged kicking and screaming into pushing her anyway, this forced their hand even more.

When has Brandi been prim and proper as a face?

Hardy beating Sammy and the useless Shawn Spears beating Scorpio Sky are two terrible booking decisions done by AEW on back to back episodes.
