  1. To a degree. But Wade Keller has said similar things and I heard Moxley say things closer to what Wade has said. I personally assume he's a Torch reader/subscriber or was. Wade broke the story about Moxley leaving and why correctly too: https://www.pwtorch.com/site/2019/01/29/dean-ambrose-leaving-wwe-shortly-after-wrestlemania-when-his-contract-expires-in-april/
  2. Absolutely not. Live at least. They were very proactive on shutting down illegal streams. More than WWE, IMPACT or ROH. Tony Kahn said it was the most bought non-WWE PPV since WCW closed. Meltzer said he got more feedback on Double Or Nothing than anything he's covered in the Observer at least PPV wise. More than any Wrestlemania or ECW One Night Stand.
  3. Yeah, Renee Young is great on anything other than commentary. Meltzer on audio recently said she was Peter Principled to commentary. Nothing Ambrose said was a shock to me outside from it coming from such a high-level guy. Personally thought Moxley was a lifer who would wrestle for WWE until both his shoulders blew out. After listening I genuinely hope he's an agent for change in and outside the company.
  4. If you watched his Starrcast interview Dustin Rhodes's only regret about the match is that he didn't fully take off his boots (teased retirement). Otherwise, he thought it was the sole highlight of his career. Exceptional match obviously that got better as it went along. A one match showcase that blood could/should be part of modern Wrestling if warranted.
  5. Vince has gotten more and more erratic. Creative meetings have gone on later and later - into the early morning. Also, the final scripts typically don't finalized until after show start time - Raw, Smackdown and now even Wrestlemania. Once Vince was a he who moves in mysterious ways type crazy genius 5 or so years ago but even that isn't the case anymore. I legitimately don't see a scenario where WWE doesn't play perfectly in AEW's hands between now and October.
  6. Nice write up TonyPulis'Cap. Yeah, I am waiting for the first bad story about Becky whether it is a new or old, wrestler or fan. Wrestling or "when are you going back to wrestling" or "didn't you used to wrestle" were all her trigger words for her years and years. Dublin is a small city and Ireland is tiny Country by American standards, to say the least everyone knew Becky as that girl who really liked Wrestling. 6-7 years is an insane amount of time to take an absence from Pro Wrestling especially for someone so young and all sorts of foolish and ill-timed "pull it together Becky" sessions one on one and group were put together over that period too but she built this insane wall of guilty and self-confidence that no one could break through. But as she explains in the documentary one day she broke out of it.
  7. I agree personally and as a fan. But watch Becky's WWE 24 WWE Network Special. It simply isn't WWE canon. The documentary editor did a miracle edit on the finish. And Vince's reaction was that of someone who didn't mind. Also, it wasn't mentioned on the Raw episode after Wrestlemania. Wish I knew what the wider perception of the fanbase was on the finish and if they noticed. Becky's reactions on TV in the weeks was good to great while at MITB they were red hot for her.
  8. I am a big supporter of (good/great) Women's Wrestling. A SHIMMER DVD buyer from the start. But yeah the 24/7 title and a grittier third hour seem to be a move against Women's Wrestling. The hour used to be Ronda and the rest of women's division territory to mixed to bad results in the ratings. The time and thought to the division has to me at least has regressed to pre-Ronda levels. With SomethingSavage on his post above but you have to point to history too in terms of Women's Wrestling never being a draw in the US. Similarly the issues with a lot of Women's sport. While ratings are this dire I am not sold on strongly emphasizing serious Women's Wrestling is commercially wise. I honestly wish that was different. Becky's WWE 24 documentary released this week was amazingly great and something every fan should seek out. But even in that Becky and Nattie made mention of Wrestlemania starting 7th April and the main event hitting the ring after midnight and on the 8th April. There are endless nonsense and factors that take away from things not being as over as they should. To the degree is unfair to draw conclusions about serious Women's Wrestling and it's viability on a National level. Hopely AEW's presentation of their Women's division is more thoughtful and just better so we have more to work with.
  9. Park really ended his match on Episode 56 against Pentagon Jr in the most mark out fashion. And I wouldn't be a booster of Park in MLW at all.
  10. There were several hints in the viral video he tweeted out. Also Jack Swagger in a radio interview blurted out that Moxley would be there.
  11. Watch the Visa situation for Double Or Nothing over the next few days is all I'll say.
  12. They do but there are too many people in love with their own opinion here for either to happen, unfortunately. Would settle for people to learn from it and be a bit more civil towards other posters who are just reflecting reality.
  13. I didn't call anyone an idiot or stupid. I referred to people idiotic and engaging in stupidity as they as blinded by bias, nonsense and in the case of Conrad's motivation just a lack of thinking. I actually expect better from posters on here to just turn things into a Conrad vs Satin thing here and totally off base in doing so. If you find me obnoxious that's because I am up against the most bizarre resistance here. I've no idea why people are hung up on the "inside scoop" thing. It is 2019 and everyone is on social media especially when it comes to Pro Wrestling. While at the same time all you guys are looking for the scoop or the latest on Ric. That's bizarre to me. What is actually important is Ric Flair and whether Ric pulls through.
  14. I know right? I don't get the tantrums about me or Satin here at all. I simply pointed out the disbelieving Satin was offbase which time has proven me correct on.
  15. Nice fanfic but no. That's not me at all as much as some people here insist it is. Satin was still accurate.
  16. And just as I posted that. TMZ posts this. Keep being truthers though....
  17. The backdrop Andre took in that match was the most impressive thing in both.
  18. This is idiotic. I am friendly with Conrad. He's just protecting a very close friend and father in law. But indulge in gross stupidity. As things stand things are in complete lockdown in terms of new information coming out. Because things are actually more serious than Conrad stated yesterday. This isn't something I want to be right about either. Have a clue, please.
  19. I've never known Satin to lie and his accuracy rate is extremely high. Sorry to ruin your narratives but you are wrong. Post one example where he provenly lied. I won't hold my breath.
  20. No one is saying anyone is lying. What Conrad is doing is pretty understandable especially after the reporting shitshow during Ric Flair's first major health scare. I get it you guys dislike Satin and TMZ but Conrad was still downplaying things.
  21. Conrad just doesn't want media outside the hospital. Again you would be off base on thinking Satin is wrong here. Trust me. Also there's this
  22. You'd be offbase on that one.
