TBF, the explosion being a dud could've happened anywhere and is more of an uncontrollable f-up. What IS inexcusable, IMO, is that they had no back-up plan if the explosion was a dud; Omega could've jumped back in the ring and been like "haha! jokes on you!" like Austin with the "bang" flag coming out of the gun. I dunno, pretty bad to not have a "what if this doesn't work" plan set-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternallDarkness Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 haven't watched wrestling since before the pandemic but then the other day I saw the news that WWE network was joining peacock network in the states. Sounds like Vince got P A I D big time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaysWho? Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I just caught Bryan vs Brock and what a match this was! Brock has a talent for making a squash entertaining because he has such great ring presence, but he plays off Daniel Bryan's quickness, and Bryan's working of his leg led to a great moment later in the match. The comeback seemed believable given how it happened and despite being a heel, the crowd really turned in favor of him. Good shit. Loved the match. Is it true Bryan REALLY wanted to face Brock and this was a dream match for him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoberChef Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Hey @elbobo looks like the Rochester show was rescheduled for September 29th now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbobo Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Yep, hopefully really happens this time. Will be 18 months after the original date Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoberChef Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 You just HAD to slap a metric on it didn't you!? In all seriousness though, I'm fairly certain that it will be well worth the wait & they'll put on a hell of a show. Also, 2CW is having a huge event paced over 2 nights that coming weekend in Syracuse which is pretty cool. Wouldn't be entirely shocked if we see numerous AEW talents show up there!

69los Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Don't be shocked if they do something extra special since, IIRC, that was originally supposed to be Brodie's debut. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spork3245 Posted April 12, 2021 Author Share Posted April 12, 2021 Spoilers, I'm not tagging, so if you didn't watch yet, just stop reading. Night 1 was great minus the women's tag gauntlet - that was just boring. Drew v Bobby was a fantastic hard-hitting style match - Drew not winning was lol. Good for Bobby, though. Women's tag thing had no build and was boring. Cesaro v Rollins was a lot of fun. New Day v Styles/Omas... eh. I just don't buy Omas as the monster they're presenting him as. His whole thing seems to be "I'm tall" Shane v Strowman was what I expected; basically a comedy match. Shane gets a lot of shit, and I never understood why; he's always entertaining in his matches and puts his body through hell to do it. Bad Bunny, holy fuck, match of WM, hands-down and best WM-Celeb match ever. Absolutely fantastic. He took it seriously and must've trained his ass off. Sasha v Belair. Good match, wasn't all that invested in it and didn't care who won, tbh. I would've rather Belair vs Asuka and Sasha vs Ripley Night 2... meh. Boring as fuck mostly. Fiend v Orton.. wtf. Seriously? Bliss distracts Wyatt and he loses via an RKO. This was his big return match - he needed this win. Fuck you, WWE. Women's tag championship match, glad Tamina finally got some WM moments, but... meh. Owens v Zayn, fun match, not enough build to the match, but Owens and Zayn are just so good to watch together. Riddle v Sheamus Big E v Apollo... Big E 9, Apollo 1, but now Apollo has the belt. Another screwy finish for no reason. Apollo looks weak. Asuka v Ripley was a good match, but fuck WWE for their Asuka booking. Reigns v Edge v Bryan, match was fine, I guess, but WWE seriously decided to not have either "main" title change hands at WM? FFS. Night 1 = 9/10 Night 2 = 5/10 (and I'm being generous) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
69los Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Tone-deaf WWE releasing superstars on literally the same day as Black Wednesday of last year all for the sake of (likely) more record profits. Samoa Joe Peyton Royce Billie Kay Mickie James Chelsea Green Tucker Kalisto Wesley Blake Bo Dallas Samoa Joe, Billie Kay, Mickie James and other Superstars released WWW.WWE.COM WWE has come to terms on a release of Billie Kay, Mickie James and more Superstars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IdeaOfEvil Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 As long as Joe doesn't end up with those clowns at AEW, this could be good for him. Let him go Impact, or even better, New Japan. His matches with Shinsuke in NXT really showed how great his style would mix with those kind of wrestlers IF he wants to wrestle anymore. Otherwise, let him do commentary for ROH, even though they're probably the best commentating team right now. He'd still make a good third wheel.

SaysWho? Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Finally watching this. The fact that we've gotten interviews in 15 minutes with Mick Foley and Undertaker, and it looks like HHH and Paul Heyman are two of the others, probably among way more, is really cool. Good stuff so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaysWho? Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Pretty impressed they got Vince McMahon or this doc as well. And of course his right-hand man's there, Bruce Prichard. Good ol' JR is there and has to be. There's a funny sequence where they're talking about a three page list of new names he was given after Ringmaster, and Taker, Foley, Austin, and Bruce are reciting the names one after another, and they're so bad. Mr. Freeze was a pitch. Didn't know his wife at the time was the one who thought up his name, Stone Cold Steve Austin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaysWho? Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 I know all about Austin 3:16 and King of the Ring 1996, but I didn't know that was the first time he said "That's the bottom line because Stone Cold said so." HHH was interviewed about that since he was supposed to win at first. His comments were, "Halfway through, I knew he was getting made and I thought, 'Holy shit, that should have been me," but then another part of me said, 'Well, I wouldn't have cut that promo.'" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elbobo Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Great AEW PPV last night. Every match was at least solid except for the Cody match which had a weird feud/build to begin with. They booked around Sting honestly as best as could possibly be done and he looked fine especially considering his age and condition. The 3 way was fantastic. Stadium Stampede 2 was fun. Best part of the whole show though was having a full house live crowd back and they came to cheer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoberChef Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Top to bottom, a most excellent PPV for sure! A few thoughts about it ... Britt v Shida: If we're being honest, we all knew Britt was going over before the bout began, but it's the how & when of it all that was the question. Truthfully, about midway through, you could see the girls were gassed a bit and it was there I was starting to fret. Then all of a sudden they both found this determination to just go above & beyond and really attempt to own the PPV (in their own right, they really were a spectacular highlight of the night!) By the end, it was inevitable that Shida would get put into submission but there were SO many near falls & the ebbs & flows of the match ... I was exhausted but excitedly so when all was said & done. Bravo ladies! Kenny v. Pac v. Cassidy: I really just don't have words other than THIS IS HOW YOU BOOK A TRIPLE THREAT MATCH! So much story telling going on, amazing moves, false finishes, & the pure athleticism of these 3 men were just astonishing to witness. They all shined bright and I do hope that the contenders get their time with a title down the road for sure. (We all know that Omega's reign will end when it is the right time to crown Adam Page!) Stadium Stampede had SO many "IN" jokes & references and I was marking out so hard for it, definitely made it a lot of fun. What I loved the most however was how this was more or less set up to really serve Sammy & push him into another stratosphere for the next year & it totally worked. One thing I do have to say, that aside from getting to see Konnan (SO happy he's still alive!), I feel like Santana & Ortiz were a bit side lined unfortunately.
