Because that's the only thing they can criticize yet, unless they go straight into über-biased opinions about "modern wrestling sux movez croosfit lolz. #Cornettehead". I mean, there's nothing there apart from these little things that they can rip apart for now. So we get pages of bitching about the Librarians and the Dark Order over and over and over again because you can't really say nothing much more negative about what AEW is presenting thus far. 9/10 of early TNA was complete shit (I should know), so obviously, no, it's not the same thing at all.

If there was only one reason not to support WWE, that's the fact they want to destroy every pro-wrestling that isn't them (wait, they aren't pro-wrestling, they are sports-entertainment, but not sports for tax reasons, but yes they are sports to get in FOX). And make pro-wrestling fans basically miserable. Fuck this company so much.

Well, more love for her from me then.

If we're being honest, well yes.

Last year's War Chamber match was mostly considered a failure though (if I remember right, and I don't remember much about it apart from this feeling of it not working). And considering how bad this whole Contra vs Lawlor & Von Erichs has been thus far, I don't have any hopes of it being any better.

Word. He was fun as Tom Lawlor seconds acting like a tough guy. He has totally sucked in the latest Contra matches (and looking worse than Josef Samael takes some will to suck, really), not to mention his now flabby looking body. Poor work, dull look, boring promos. He has become a total waste of time.

You know what would be hilarious in a very self-aware über geeky reference ? Savio Vega. Because HE COULD BE the mystery partner !

Ok, enough innuendo, what has she done wrong ? I sure hope she ends up somewhere where she can showcase her talent.

Ok, thanks ! Still not over that incredible bloodbath and great post match. Would have been awesome. Park is one guy who will probably never lose his mask though.

Sign her ! I want my Lucha Underground people to be taken care of !!! Plus she's good !

In term of pure fun, this show is easy top 5 of the year for me. Because even the bad stuff is at least entertaining usually on a AAA big card. So, finally, Lady Maravilla fucks Nino, although not in the way he probably wanted. Bitch is great. The 6-men title car crash was exactly what it should have been. Poder Del Norte keeps on being the most reliable 6-men rudos team in AAA. Konnan looks fragile. Aerostar doesn't give a fuck ! LA Park and sons showing up to screw Pagano's victory was awesome. What a great look too. Hopefully this leads to a crazy-ass garbage brawl somewhere. The women ladder match was not exactly good, but it was a crazy car crash. Damn, I was scared for Chicka Tormenta, she literaly jumped over the ladder straight to the floor. Tessa winning was cool, and a title match against Fabi should be really really good. With AAA working with both IMPACT and AEW, I wonder if we could get some cool talent exchange at one point, like say, Tessa in AEW... Also : Yeah ! I guess working as a translator did not cut it, fuck Japan and its apologizing culture and let's work Mexico where it's ok to do drugs ! Hopefully she works as a regular. I feel way old though, watching both Ayako & Fabi work as veterans, when I basically saw both of them debut on ARSION VCR tapes 20 years ago... The three last matches were just perfect for what it was. I don't watch MMA, so the fuck if I know who Cain Velasquez is, but understandably he's a big deal and he seems to have quite a bit of potential too. Killer Kross & Scarlett are the perfect match, really hoping AEW grabs them. Fun and successful celebrity match. Cody having his picture taken alongside Velasquez can't hurt AEW in term of PR I guess if he's such a big name. Young Bucks & Omega working straight lucha rudos was terrific. What more to say, just a great match, and the perspective of Omega vs Fenix in a big title match is awesome. That main event... Well, Blue Demon should not do any pro-wrestling spot nor try to kick : only slap, hit his opponent with props and bleed like a freak. Wagner sporting the all white outfit knew. That's Jerry Lawler-like foreshadowing here. Blood & guts pro-wresting you ask ? That visual of Blue Demon, arm and chest all red from his own blood, holding down Wagner in a submission hold, was classic. Hammer shots on the fingers ? Cement block on the head ? Yeah, that shit was great in term of pure organic brutality. Hijo del Tirantes still sucks at his job though, so there was kind of a botch at one point. Great post-match too. I don't speak Spanish but I understand a bit since French is a close language, did I miss something or Wagner said he retired or wanted to retire ? Gotta love Blue Demon pissing on his heart-felt promo afterward. Yeah, one hell of a fun show.

Fuck that. The SummerSlam Gauntlet. For a title match the following week on RAW. Unless we change our minds #RAWvolution

It's ridiculous. Who the hell is on that card ? Baron Corbin ? Shane O Mac ? Dolph Ziggler ? Even if it was broadcasted in French I would not touch it. Well, I'm still interested in watching an AJ Styles vs Ricochet match. And I guess Charlotte vs Trish, for sheer novelty values. But it seems like they tried their best to have the most irrelevant SummerSlam ever. When you think about the insane amount of talents they have under contract, it's just another proportion of ridiculous.

Next WWE Saudi Show should be presented at being broadcasted from Spain or something. I mean, it's sunny.

Hart > Flair Kawada > Okada (not by much, both are GOAT level anyway) Misawa > Kobashi (the same) Not seen enough Danielson, but it's probably closer than I might have thought before. Tanahashi > Taue (with a huge gap)

Actually, the true question is : why the fuck anyone should give a shit about a Goldy squash in 2019. Seriously. His comeback program with Brock Lesnar was something at least, it was a top match against the top star, it was fine for two nostalgia pops and finally see Goldy do what he does in WWE (whatever that was worth, I was tired of Goldberg before the end of 1998). Ok, it's been done. People have seen Goldy come back and beat Brock. So, now it's 2019. And you get a Goldy squash against a JJTS like it's Thunder 1998. Really ? Has the bar in WWE sunk that low that people are actually interested in seeing this ? I'm amazed.

You people are downright mean now ! (he's a fan of Henri Rollins, so there's that at the very least)

Maybe I'm just getting bored with pro-wrestling podcast... I feel Conrad redoing the shows he already did with Brucie does not help, because there's a sense of "I've heard the same stories already" with the Canadian Stampede & SummerSlam 97 shows. Last show I really enjoyed was the GAB 90. Maybe they should only do WCW shows...

Don't disparage the good name of Lacey Evans. Plus, the women division has been carried by the super hot IIconics all this time. Those women tag team championship really needed this...

I wouldn't go that far, but he is a highlight of every A Block day. His best G1 yet ? MVP.... To me it's between Ishii & Takagi for consistency and Tanahashi for the big matches performances.

Yano vs Ishii was priceless. Yano going all workrate on Ishii was something else. Juice vs Taichi was exactly what I thought it would be. Extra points for Miho Abe slapping Juice outside. Extra points for Taichi making a sumo reference, as explained by Chris Charlton. Goto vs Cobb was so *there*. Good match and all, but totally there. Cobb keeps on being the disappointment of this G1, sadly. White vs Mox went exactly I as thought it would. Again, White is working his gimmick like nobody's business. Some of his explosive counters are simply awesome. But it can get somewhat predictable. Still, very good match. But really, let's be honest, Takagi & Naito just stole the show. And they probably stole this two days shows. Yeah, I have it above Tana vs Ibushi. Maybe because I have Takagi & Naito above Ibushi, generally speaking. And say what you want, but Naito still feels like the biggest star in this company. One day may come when Gedo regrets not going all out with Naito when he was still physically in his prime. MOTYC, just awesome awesome match. And there's so much you can do with Takagi...

Some time ago, I guess when it seemed new, people were talking about how great it was and how this was back to kayfabe and stuff... Yeah, it really worked out well. Like Twitter in general, actually.

Too fucking much things to watch this week-end, it's ridiculous. Next week-end will be much easier since apart from G1 at Budokan, there's really nothing else of interest to me...

Oh yeah. It's funny, but actually his partner in MLW Richard Holliday reminds me of Candido quite a bit too. But there's obviously some Candido in MJF in that he apparently can do *anything* and look good at it. The way he handled the stupid "fear of heights" gimmick in the multi-men ladder match in MLW was very reminiscent of Candido I thought.

"not believable", "they are killing wrestling", "they have no ability anymore", "they take these bumps that mean nothing", "when you act like a clown you look like a clown", "goofy outfit" Corny talking about the Young Bucks or the AEW undercard guys ? Nope. Karl Gotch talking about Harley Race and the crew. It's amazing and awesome.
