    God bless Ric Flair and his Starrcade 95 title win, but how in the world do you not transition this finish into a Hogan/Savage face(?) vs face(?) main event the next month? It seems like a no-brainer.

    Duggan's grandma bears a remarkable resemblance to Dick Slater. And yes, I suspect the pub was in the far away land of County Fulton.

    Automatic watch. I can't wait to skip through the other 2:xx.

    Or if you really think it should have ended the match, cover them again, as though you are participating in a wrestling match and not an acting class.

    Perfectly good way to spend 15 minutes, especially the car horn as distraction spot. I wish they would have found a limited commercial sponsor for, say, the Styles/Bryan match.
  6. PhilTLL
    Oh, right on. Well then hand a few out to the talent!

    Oh for goodness sakes. There are already hockey boards everywhere! We all know something is out of the ordinary. And it's not like the trainee audience is making really convincing faces anyway. Every sports league is making branded masks and giving the profits to covid charities, it's a PR slam dunk. But no, not Vince...

    I know everyone uses star ratings in different ways, but I just have to ask, are you saying there were two 5-star WWE matches in one weekend? How many do you go that high on in say, a year?

    This was excellent and worth seeking out if you are a lapsed fan, but four commercial breaks was production malpractice. I'm pretty sure the extra-long TV matches they used to do in the 2000s didn't have four commercial breaks.

    That main event was a solid way to spend 20 minutes. Heel Bayley is already fun before the added ego boost of a 2nd belt, and she really hams it up after the win ("They're so heavy! So much gold!"). Nikki was much better (i.e. more competent) in the ring than last time I saw her. It did suffer from the "counting time/ballroom dancing" problem so inherent to modern WWE, especially tag team matches, but the build was still there and the end felt exciting.

    Okay how do I insert the "stop it, get some help" gif here?
  12. PhilTLL
    I don't actually know if they did or not.

    Their contention is that AEW and a lot of other modern wrestling is too silly, goofy, self-effacing, farcical, etc, not that wrestling "isn't meant to be fun." With AEW specifically, Brian hates that they originally promised to be more serious, but have become goofier than WWE.

    "You're not gonna have the Nature Boy on your side this time, and that means you can't call me on the phone, you can't ride in the limo! That means you're gonna go head up and have to wrestle a man who wrestled the world 11 times. And you know what else that means? It means we're no longer friends, and I'm ashamed to call you family." Spine-tingling, as good a Flair promo as ever.

    Of course that's gross in any objective sense, but in 2002 WWE, women were used foremost as objects for men to ogle.
  16. PhilTLL
    Yeah, the whole thing was way too difficult and took about four times as long as it should have. Nia oh so carefully let go of the rope like a preschooler on a jungle gym. They tiptoed her over like they were trying to move a sleeping preschooler from the carseat to the bed. And then, worst of all, Natalya very clearly yelled "drop!"

    That was atrocious, worse than anything on the last two pay-per-views that I watched, and by far the worst possible matchup for Asuka. If you're not good at those convoluted powerbomb and suplex combos and other three-person spots, JUST DON'T DO THEM. That's not like a meat-and-potatoes part of anybody's arsenal.

    Greg Valentine theory of working: if I sell your weak shit, it makes us both look bad.
  19. PhilTLL
    That was ridiculous bullshit too. She barely even looks like herself. She looks like she's doing some kind of a Rachel Dolezal gimmick.
  20. PhilTLL
    I actually started paying attention to this, and that so-called double power bomb before the break just now should have been edited out. That was one of the worst things I've ever seen in wrestling. I just hit record on the DVR so I can make a clip out of that bullshit.
  21. PhilTLL
    They should be wearing masks, if only because it would be funny, but that would involve acknowledging the whole covid thing.
  22. PhilTLL
    Oh thank God, finally. Even 20 people making noise is better than zero. Never thought about that other stuff.
  23. PhilTLL
    I was mostly being excessive to be facetious, but I'm sure it's not a 100% reflection of his personal beliefs. Just a buck or two to make. I rarely begrudge a wrestler making a buck by knowing their audience.
  24. PhilTLL
    There's only one "thin blue line" shirt and I'm too lazy to look at all of the other categories, although there are some very charming ones like "Kill 'em all" and "Socialism sucks". But THIS... this is just disappointing. https://www.ninelineapparel.com/collections/mens-t-shirts/products/mens-t-shirt-dustin-rhodes-mwga

    It's vichyssoise, the cold leek and potato cream soup. The sound effects are absolutely terrible, although I did get a kick out of Dave selling the terrifying mere thought of losing poor Ralph like he was having an actual heart attack. Maybe it was the vichyssoise.
