Honestly, hashtags are stupid, whatever they are. It only produces sheep mentality and polarization. Don't think about the complexity of the issues of the world, just post a hashtag with the "right" opinion, whatever you think it is, and there you go, you've done the right thing and you can feel good about yourself for the day. Anyway. Let's not make this thread about something other than its topic though. PWO.

No shit.

And how would anyone dare to make fun of guys in their underwears ans shiny costumes pretending to have an actual fight in a ring doing totally illogical movements ? Like, you can make fun of everything, horror movies, folk music, contemporary art, russian litterature, pop culture as a whole really, but not pro-fucking-wrestling, this is serious business.

Agree about the timing. But that's the trick about being in a double-bind situation though, you're fucked either way. But in trying to explain why she hasn't spoke up earlier, she comes off pretty cringy just because of the timing, indeed. Can't wait to have someone twist that into "Another proof AEW is awful"...

Yeah, it may come off really tone death in this context (making the thing about her and all), but the point she makes about being put in a double-bind situation by her "own community" all the time I totally get. This is totally real, especially for women who date/marry "out of their community", sadly...

Thunder Rosa talking about Hana Kimura at the beginning of this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i24MUpbXvd4

From what you say, it's almost to the point of Last exploiting Corny for monetary issue. Because Brian "whoever the fuck he is" Last would not draw jack shit by himself. Life is too short to spend your time hate-watching stuff and get angry because of it. Corny could be happy talking about stuff he still loves, but nooooo. At this point, Corny is basically like this guy stalking his ex on social media and hatin' on it, while kinda wishing she would get back with him. And his crowd of sycophants are basically incels.

Because it is. NJPW has been running it since 89, tons of iconic moments and cards have happened in this building.

Highlight to me was the opener (although Private Party absolutely aren't ready on the big stage at this point, Isaac in particular as a tendency to do some real sloppy stuff) and Cody's promo. Shida's competitive squash against That Brazilian Girl was pretty fun too. Wasn't crazy about Britt's segment this week, really lacked the dynamic of her and Tony, who was out there to do nothing. Wasn't crazy about the Tyson angle either. I see what they try to do, but it kinda get a feel of WCW-Hoganesque stuff where they refer a WWF angle of the past (actually, two of them, one of which I don't even know about). Jericho has made everything work thus far, so maybe it'll catch on, but tonight it didn't feel like anything interesting to me. The Battle Royal on the other hand had plenty good little things, like Cutler & Avalon eliminating themselves, their feud has to peak with a match ending in a double-KO or something. That's pretty fun. I'm all for a Wardlow face turn, as really I have no interest in this guy as he is now. Like, zero interest. They already have too many big monsters (think about that, they had none when Wardlow was signed) on the heel side anyway. Cody vs Jungle Boy should be terrific. Omega & Hangman working their magic with Havoc & Sabian (fun team, but that match today wasn't that great, I feel like SCU is at the end of the road and they should try and push Scorpio Sky as a single) should be really good too. Jericho vs Orange should be gold. Interesting stuff with Allie (who was referred as such on Dark, as opposed to The Bunny) getting all the attention from QT and Cabana getting a Dark Order flyer. Of course, FTR showing up would have been much more awesome in front of the crowd. So many big debuts for AEW during the worst time possible. So much for them working The North and those NJ teams, but oh well, they will rule against the Bucks and it was all expected anyway.

Yes. Heels are called "méchant", which means "mean". Same as in movies, like I said.

The issue with Cornette is that he's got the emotional balance of a 3 years old.

Holy shit. BTW, can we talk about that Blue Lives Matter T-shirt thingy again ? yeah... maybe not the best timing... ok another time then... Anyway. Looking closely on his arm to see if there's no svastika or SS symbol hidden somewhere...

IMPACT is confident enough to put a vignette on their TV. And considering they are gonna tape weeks of TV again I would guess, if she's part of these sessions she'll be on IMPACT TV for several weeks anyway.

She was on IMPACT yesterday already. And IMPACT does not have the track record of putting people who aren't secured on TV (*cough* MLW *cough*). So, who knows about contracts and whatever, but yeah, she's been on IMPACT already.

Honestly the whole Drew Gulak thing reeks of him just playing around to get a much better deal from WWE than he would if he had just resigned. Glad IMPACT is keeping things moving and lively. They have been killing it with the women's division for a long time now, although they have struggled a bit with Dashwood's character, who hasn't quite caught up despite being quite the good worker. I hope Taya doesn't end up in WWE wasteland when her deal ends and either resigns or goes to AEW (she's a friend of the guys there since she was on those BTE regularly).

Considering their match at Mania was pretty much universally panned, isn't this supposed to be some kind of elaborate joke ?... probably not.

Per Meltz, Hiromu is pushing for the G1 and BOSJ happening at the same time. Which would make for insane cards. Do it ! No one cares about the tag leagues anyway.

Why is Nia still employed (I know, big girl from the samoan family) ? At this point she's an injury machine.

And samoan.

Yeah, I dunno the stuff I've seen from him in the 90's really wasn't anything to write home about and looked dated as hell. Plus I will never, EVER be able to unsee this episode of the cult show TV show Strip-tease (the show has nothing to do with actual strip-tease of course, it's because it presents characters in the most naked, unfiltered way possible). Don't be sad you don't speak French, it is cringe as fuck (the stuff he says about women and sex makes you want to crawl under a rock, and I'm not easily offended). He looks like Keiji Mutoh now if you wonder...

To me the saddest thing is JR trying to sell Gail Kim, who's a fantastic worker, by mentioning Asian porn sites... That's appaling (that would be appaling about anyone, but it's not like her role was to be eye candy anyway like say, a Kelly Kelly).

Tons of idiots makes money out of the Internet 2.0.. The most followed Youtube channels are completely idiotic. I'm not that surprised.

Well, if you're going into Flesh Gordon territory, that last sentence is gonna come up more often than not. The name itself reeks of bad 80's porn actor.

This is insane to even think about Asuka and Sane having nothing to do. Who are these fucking guys in creative, seriously ?

BTE this week had quite the cameo by Marty Scurll. I have a hard time believing this guy is not gonna end up in AEW eventually.
