C.S.

20 minutes to lock up. Sick of boring, slow Bloodline matches

I feel mostly the same, but I got into Rhea vs. Liv. Enough sports-entertainment shenanigans there to keep me entertained.

Wasn't their beef over Kimberly? Probably not an issue after she and DDP got a divorce.

The Crown Jewel belt is butt ugly and a bigger eyesore than the AEW World Title.

Bret turns heel and helps GUNTHER retain?

I expected a Bret/Owen SummerSlam '94 cage match tribute because of the heart on Punk's tights. Great match. Nia vs Bayley was heatless. Bayley hasn't been over at all since her face turn. I commented to my friend that I wish Triple H could trade Bayley to AEW for Serena Deeb. Priest vs. Balor isn't as intense as I expected. Balor's hairstyle is a crime against humanity, and WTF was that sex shop shit Balor had over his face for the entrance?!

No one at PWO, or lifelong wrestling fans in general, are going to learn anything new from this documentary. It has the same talking heads saying pretty much the same things they always do. Great footage though, and Tony Atlas has zero filter. Bruce Prichard's dentist has to wear a gas mask because Bruce's teeth and gums smell like Vince's asshole. With that said, I'll give Bruce the smallest bit of leeway here. His wife had a cancer diagnosis with a prognosis of four years. Because of Vince getting her the best medical care, she's still alive 20-something years later. So, for that reason, I can see why Bruce is blindly loyal. Granted, you can argue that it Vince did it for cynical business reasons to keep one of his valued lieutenants worry-free and working, and while there might be something to that, a woman's life was still saved in the process.

Surprised they didn't go the WB Discovery-David Zaslav route and shitcan this as a tax write-off.

And they'll sound spectacular too!

Yuck!

As in the GOP doing the attacking or the ones being attacked? The latter would be a feature, not a bug. I have a Honey Nut Cheerios ad right now, lol.

I don't care about this match at all. Foregone conclusion. Methodical style, which is great against other opponents but not necessarily each other. TBH, though, I blanked out and barely watched it. Glad it's over and they can both move on to more exciting programs.

This feels like a feud-ender. I don't know how they get to Hell in a Cell at Bad Blood from here, but I'm sure they'll find a way.

Bumping this because I just added a sweet-ass image to the OP.

It seems like everyone - including me - is fondly remembering this as his career highlight, because it probably was. Great match, awesome atmosphere - and it wasn't all Shawn Michaels.

This one hurts. https://www.facebook.com/gunnar.eudy/posts/pfbid021MBVJD3wGyLCjacvecHu4nNsUbuEgdJZS7hWD8PcDb7rYGzAY8i4qKb6UjdTL6Jwl

There were rumors this week, which were premature, but it looks like Afa is really gone now. From Afa's Facebook page: Afa the Wild Samoan 8m · This afternoon, just a very short time ago, I received the phone call from my mom that my beloved father, the center of my universe, passed away. My heart is so full of his presence and strength. I got to spend the vast majority of my life right there by his side, through the best of times and the hardest of times. Thank you, Dad, for every priceless life lesson you taught me. Thank you for being someone who cared, always. I've been preparing to say goodbye to my Dad since January, when he had those two heart attacks. I was prepared to say goodbye to him in March when he fell and broke his back in two places and had to have major surgery. I was prepared to say goodbye to my Dad when he had his heart valve replacement surgery. I was prepared to say goodbye to him when he was having the second back surgery. I was prepared to say goodbye to my Dad when we had to tell him the news of Uncle Sika's passing. For the last month, I've been preparing to say goodbye to my Dad, as his health declined, as he was put on hospice care, as he grew weaker and more fragile. I've been preparing to say goodbye to my Dad. Now I realize I'll never have to say goodbye, because a very strong part of him will always be part of me. I love you, Dad. This is not goodbye, because I'll never lose you. This is just the end of your lifetime on Earth. I will always love you. You will be remembered, honored, missed, and respected forever. The strongest man I've ever known. The 3-count comes for us all, eventually, but you fought it all the way to the end. You kicked out more times than anyone else ever has. You are forever our undisputed champion. I love you so much. I will never have to know what it is to live without you, because I know you're always with me. ❤️ Thank you all so much for your love, respect, stories, and memories that you've been sharing over the last few days.

Sorry for not seeing this sooner, but yeah, it's Heyman.

Fair enough on this starting in a German fed, but we both know I'm not saying all Germans are evil and Nazis by default - come on now!
