Lmao when anyone gets as mad about wrestling and getting off topic and people rather shooting the shit about something actually enjoyable. It's lol on literally any board as it's almost universally men in their 30s and up raging and not realizing how stupid of a thing it is to get upset about.

Every Bryan/Roman match is great. Tremendous chemistry. Doesn't matter if it was singles or tags during the Shield/Hell No period, the 2015 Fastlane match, or the matches this year.

Corny being an omega tier (lol) nerd just raging at anyone thinking he's protecting his spot actually kind of makes sense. He'd no doubt be a reddit demon troll if he were 15 years younger.

How does Cornette himself reconcile all the ridiculous and/or terrible shit he's been involved with or booked over the years with criticizing other things he just doesn't get so intensely? Or does he just ignore that conundrum all together?

Dude is obsessed with wrestling and comics and has the nerve to talk about people liking/doing stupid shit? lmao

Does Cornette have any singular interest beyond pro wrestling?

Of course I know why they take bumps in the middle of the ring due to the most give, but also think of how many apron bumps you'll see on any given show all over the world and these dudes can't just bump a little off center so as to not have to awkwardly scoot like idiots for the next spot?

Oh. Well maybe not then. But I still don't think it's a big deal for MJF to say what he said. That's some real basic ass heel 101 shit.

1. Cornette/Russo are far more similar than they are different and I believe that's the main reason they hate each other so much. 2. A heel saying something like that after a fan jump the railing is not something to read the riot act over, imo. Especially as AEW has actually done worked angles with fans throwing shit or trying to attack MJF previously, I wouldn't at all be surprised if it was a plant this time a well.

I can't think of too many examples of that beyond Hogan, Piper, and Bret. I'm sure there are others, but I think we can agree those are pretty unique situations and talents. I also do not at all see how Bobby Heenan fits into Ruthless Aggression era WWE other than some lol cameos or doing Confidential with Mean Gene.

But....Brain did come back for multiple appearances after WCW was bought. Including multiple WM appearances. I'm sure he would have made more appearances if his health had been better.

Yeah Bruno and Larry Z having body builder bodies confused me, too. Those dudes were both just thick ass strong guys with zero cuts or definition. Ricky Steamboat had a body builder look. Warrior had a body builder look. Bruno and Larry looked like guys who lifted heavy and drank beer and ate pasta every day.

Bad Ass Jericho is somehow even lamer than comedian Jericho

I thought it was pretty funny they kept doing close ups of people singing along who clearly didn't actually know the lyrics

Ortiz looking like he's been putting in the work for a summer cut

There's no way Hogan was off the gas by 1988-1989. He had noticeably dropped size and bloat between Rumble 1992 and WM 8 and was way lighter when he came back in 1993 and his WCW, but definitely was still on gear in 1988-1991. He also got pretty big again by the end of his WCW run and was definitely back on something in his WWE return but was working and eating better so he didn't have the huge puffiness to him that he had during his peak Hulkamania run. I personally would really doubt he ever was fully off anything.

Will check it out because the crowd energy was the thing really elevating AEW shows and running the same venue for a year and a half is pretty rough on that aspect. But lol at "going back on the road" and it's still in Florida.

How about just take the bump closer to the corner and then you don't have to have everyone notice you scooting half way across the ring for no reason after you just took a death bump. Seems easier.

Saw some of KOR/Cole last night on NXT and the amount of times both of them got themselves into position for the next move or spot was real egregious. Peak egreg, perhaps. Especially as they were all such simple things where it would only take 2 seconds tops for one of them to just nudge the guy into position. But instead you'd see Cole take a bump and then scoot 1/3rd of the ring away, or KOR would roll through a move so he could get into position for the reverse shining wizard deal but not only would he stop the roll through to properly get into position, but he'd also turn for the camera angle. I'm not all "ARRRG IT'S GOTTA LOOK REAL" but that kind of shit is just lazy. There's no reason KOR couldn't have just grabbed Cole by the wrist and dragged him for ONE second to get a better position for the spot. There's no reason that Cole couldn't sit KOR up instead of KOR having to roll through and then twist around to get into the right spot to get the right camera angle on the spot.

By virtue of longevity, style, and position on the card, Rey has way more high quality TV matches than Bret over the years. It's not really particularly fair, because Rey existed in companies and in a position on the card where he could go out and show out every week for 20 years, and where good matches for the sake of good matches to take up TV time was far more prevalent than in Bret's run. There are multiple years where Rey has as many or more TV matches in a single year than Bret had in total of 1993-1996 (and even that is skewed to a number of Euro only shows). Not only is this unfair in a style sense, but unfair comparison just based on their positions on the card and roles they played.

I don't really have an issue with Peacock. It is weird that it clearly wasn't built for sports despite NBC Sports being a big part of the platform, but ultimately they're not going to redo their whole formatting for one section of the platform. It is much, much easier and faster to search through the Xfinity menus than Peacock itself. However ultimately it's free for me and I end up watching a lot of shit on it I otherwise wouldn't just because it's conveniently available to me.

To be fair, the spinning toehold is a pretty stupid move, especially when done for multiple reps around

From the little I've seen of both, George couldn't have held Buddy's jockstrap, jack.

He shouldn't be indy Brock, but American WALTER. Fat Chris Hero knocking the shit out of everyone and sticking his gut in fans' faces >>>> all other versions of Hero combined

Roman is most definitely a better in ring guy than Cena ever was. And he has been his whole singles run since 2014. Some real dogshit booking, though, which is pretty common to....well, all top WWE babyfaces in all eras.
