Anybody else watching? I'm really feeling what AEW has going on. WWE still has some decent stuff, but I haven't made it through a full episode of RAW in months. The first hour last night was real solid, but quickly went downhill. I was busy on Saturday, but the AEW PPV looked sick as fuck. Any pals going to be in Tampa for WrestleMania?
-
I watch both. I went to NXT Takeover Portland last month. It was super fun.
-
I don't watch wrestling, but AEW has Jenn Sterger, so that makes it better.
-
I watch WWE religiously, keep up with AEW through Whatculture/Cultaholic. I like what AEW is doing, and I like that there's finally an alternative since TNA wet the bed years ago.
I know this is gonna sound ridiculous but I think Fiend/Cena is the right call vs Fiend/Roman. They shouldnt have given him the title yet anyway, and the backlash is from them not thinking things through yet again
-
NWA....
-
Totally agree with how they booked The Fiend. Vince just can't let something grow organically. He knew the Fiend was hot, and blew his load three strokes in. Force fed him the title which he didn't need to make his character work, and lost all momentum against a part timer. That match was a joke. Goldberg went for the Jackhammer and ended up with a weak ass suplex.
Fiend v. Cena will be decent just because they have history and Bray likes to reference old shit in his promos. The promo he cut on Hogan was awesome. But they should have had the Fiend attack Cena instead of showing up and pointing at the fucking WrestleMania sign.
Orange Cassidy is a fuckin G.
-
I'm not watching closely, but I like AEW. I don't know how anyone can sit through 3 hours of RAW.
-
Dont watch either consistently, but I back AEW when I'm in a pro wrestling mood.
-
Anyone watch AEW last night? Darby Allin is the absolute shit badass son of a gun

YES!!!!! He is in that gray area where wins and losses don't really matter for him. He is over as fuck and looked better in that loss than any other win he has had on the show. His match vs. Jericho where he got handcuffed was badass as well. His losses are still wins because he is that fucking good.

FUCK! WWE just announced that Wrestlemania will happen in a sound studio with no audience. RAW and Smackdown have been super awkward. I appreciate the effort, but this is fucking Wrestlemania. But on the other hand, they just can't suspend all Wrestlemania storylines until they can be in front of an audience again. This was going to be my first time attending since I live in Tampa, had tickets to a few indie shows through the week. All cancelled. FUCK!

AWKWARD ? Yes! Good tv? Absolutely. Am I enjoying triple h commentary? Surprisingly fuck yeah! Also raw was hilariously. Asuka doing commentary for the Andrade match, is fukn gold.

Yeah, Triple H was great, they should have had him on RAW. I fell asleep towards the end there, so I missed Asuka on Commentary. I'm just super bummed, but trying to remember people are dying from this and we need to stop it to make sure there is Wrestlemania next year. Also, this was going to be a huge week for local economy and a lot of my friends in the service industry.
It is just a terrible situation all around.
-
That side of it fukn blows. Shit is no joke
-
Dude, Dynamite fucking killed it last night. Used the empty arena the best they could, which was wayyyyy better than what WWE has done. Having the wrestlers be the audience worked pretty well with the little side gimmicks going on. MJF and Spears gambling on the matches, the Colt Cabana interview, Jake the Snake chilling. And of course, the reveal of The Exalted One and Matt Hardy! I didn't watch one second of NXT, but I heard they just played reruns of old matches.
AEW did a great job of keeping the storylines going and showcasing everyone possible in the 2 hours.
-
Holy shit that promo that Jake cut was so powerful , it’s amazing how much that guy can run his lip! And still be more impactful than any Wwe current promo style. The fatal four way women’s match was so good as well. Penelope vs Riho is gonna be good. And Matt Hardy’s debut was very good. It’s crazy to think the Hardy’s both came back to empty arenas in front of no one.
-
Did you listen to the Jericho podcast with Jake the Snake? Real good shit. He is an amazing storyteller and I always liked him because at the time all the wrestlers promos were super over the top yelling and shit and he could cut a promo with his fuckin eyes man. So soft spoken and so powerful at the same time.

This is good. So fucked.

I highly recommend watching the rest of the first season. The episode on the Von Erich family was amazing, as well as Bruiser Brody. Fabulous Moolah was pretty good and Gino Hernandez didn't do much for me because I had never heard of him. The new season should be really sick, with Benoit, Owen Hart, and Dino Bravo.

Chavos experiences were overlooked. Dude goes through it I’m sure. Such a damn good era.

I have all the episodes you mentioned on demand. The Von Erich and Bruiser Brody sounds good. I think I had Fabulous Moolah on the background after watching those other episodes and it seemed like they had some wild girl shit going on lol

Anybody watch AEW last night??? Lance Archer vs. Marko Stunt was awesome! Darby Allin heel turn? Or a lone wolf that no one fucks with..........
They are destroying WWE in regards to how they are presenting their product to an empty arena. AEW is taking the time to build characters with promos and vignettes and having them ringside to watch the other matches to see if that gets a spark in the ring.
WWE is replaying old matches from previous years Wrestlemanias. Undertaker cut a world class promo on Monday, but everything else was meh, and thats the show before Wrestlemania. This weekend is going to be real disappointing, because I live in Tampa and had real good seats. My birthday is Saturday, Mania is Sunday, and I had tickets to other smaller shows that were supposed to be happening this week. Bummer.

darby Allin turning heel will give him an opening for a lot of possibilities that I can’t even foresee. Marko took some bumps but was super entertaining to see what lance can do.
Takers promo was the best I’ve seen in forever. The shit he says is so good. I can see we getting better with the promos but I’m not intrigued enough to sit and watch raw for 3 hours. And the replaying of old ppvs is good and bad. At first they should recent ppvs now they’re showing old ones. I’m in for the ride of course. Idc I’m getting wrestlemAnia this weekend. Ima a Mark

Watching Wrestlemania without the crowd is odd but alright. I'm kinda half paying attention at work.
-
I really enjoyed the undertakers hunger games match or whatever the hell that was.
Sike. *tk voice

With the circumstances, WrestleMania delivered. Bummed Seth lost, I felt like it wasn't the right call but the match itself was solid. Also the Ladder match was probably match of the night, the hurricana Kofi did, and the SpanishFly were dope.
Ready to see what the Funhouse match has after the way they did the Boneyard Match it makes me feel like WWE should really do more cinematic matches like them.
-
I started watching WWE again 5 years ago, but got more into the 'smart' side of it than actually just watching the product. By the end was questioning whether I actually wrestling or was just kidding myself. As soon as AEW started I've never looked back. They satisfy all the major frustrations with watching WWE, namely not having my intelligence insulted and actually being rewarded for investing in storylines. I think they have just the right amount of variety without being too 'sports entertainy'. And they're making stars so quickly already. Looking forward to seeing it grow
-
The fun house was gold. Anyone talking about the spot that edge and randy Did? Choking him the same way Chris Benoit killed himself. Also glad drew is the champ but not this way.
-
WrestleMania was great. I used to hate AEW because of their fan base. but ever since they’ve been forced to do empty arena shows, it’s been pretty good. they need to let PAC shine more. lived in Orlando my whole life and never gone to an NXT show, need to change that after this is all over with.

PAC just started a faction with the Lucha bro’s. It’ll be sick to see how this pans out.

You should. They are in Tampa a lot as well and I never go. I have been to Evolve Wrestling before, they do stuff in Orlando and Tampa and is pretty sick. They share talent with NXT so sometimes there are well known NXT people on the Evolve cards. Adam Cole did a meet n greet and SAntana Garrett wrestled at the last show I went to.

All the firings today bummed me out so badly. None of them were future WWE champs but Rusev and Zack Ryder deserved better than that, and Drake Maverick crying on Twitter made it so much more real. All this as cost cutting measures (estimated at 4 million monthly) after bribing the governor to deem them as essential.
With Vince part of the committee to restart the economy how are these firings going to look to the country?

Not a good look at all.
Honestly, they fired a lot of dead weight that only performed at house shows and on that weekly show on the network where they air the dark matches from raw and smackdown. The only ones that I will truly miss are Rusev and maybe Lio Rush. They treated Gallows and Anderson like trash, they deserve better anyway. Zack Ryder? He had a better run than most, been with the company a long time and hasn't done much lately.

Fuck.
A few years ago one of my friends in New York was killed in a fight at an art show. A few weeks later, P-Stone died. Since then, death has hit me way harder than it had in the past.
Grosso is still eating away at me because the last things he said to me was the first compliments he ever gave me and the company I work for (The Boardr.)
Since then, two local skaters have died and even though I have never met either of them, I can't help but tear up when I think about how those scenes are handling themselves.
5,000 people would show up to Grosso's funeral, and we can't even have one.
Sorry to ramble,
RIP Howard Finkel, the OG voice of my childhood.

What did people think of the MITB ladder match?
-
The MITB match was actually really fun. The whole cinematic thing they've been doing makes things just different enough from their kind of tired gimmick to make the lack of crowd reaction work.
Not a fan of Otis winning, not a fan of Otis at all tbh, but if the rumors of him cashing it in for a tag team title shot are true then I like that route. They've never specified which WWE championship they can cash in for, makes the tag titles feel more important, and shows that Tucker isn't forgotten.

idk, seeing otis’s fat ass with the universal title would put a smile on my face...😂

They absolutely WILL NOT make Otis a singles champ. He a comedy gimmick. I def would like to see them with the tag titles, but WWE looks like they hate their actual tag teams.
Just throw two random guys together and HEY! You a tag team now. Here's a title shot.
-
WWE has been so bad for so long. I'm not even sure why I still watch. AEW is tight but I suspect it'll suffer the same fate as TNA.

If Otis wins the championship, he'll immediately be squashed by Brock or someone.

I can’t wait for the day WWE and SNL can grow beyond Vince and Lorne’s grasp.
I like the spirit of AEW a lot and how they all seem to like each other and get along, but I’m just so comfortable with WWE that it’s tough to forever ditch them. I got into NXT at the Takeover Andrade took the belt from Drew, so that’s been my main outlet, but I’m starting to grow a little tired with the same batch of guys. Maybe it’s the new time slot and all that...(also very bummed Takeovers aren’t shown free on Hulu anymore)

The AEW pay per view over the weekend was really good! The stadium stampede match blew it out of the water.
Orange Cassidy is my favorite thing about wrestling right now.
Not sure I agree with having BOTH Brodie Lee and Lance Archer lose. One of them should've won. Why build both those dudes like that to have them both lose.
Archer could have won and kicked off a major feud with Cody as a "down and out, last chance, does he still have it, redemption" angle.
I like Evil Uno better than Brodie Lee as leader of the Dark Order. Brodie could have been a silent enforcer that eventually beats the fuck out of Stu Grayson when he underperforms. And Brodie's ring gear is hideous.

The only thing I like about wrestling these days are the podcasts. Arn and What Happened When are true gems.

Edge choked Randy by hanging him off some gym equipment, the same thing Benoit used to hang himself. Pretty big oversight seeing as the match was recorded a week in advance. AEW made a similar mistake by leaving a drowning spot in the Stampede match the day after Shad Gaspard drowned at sea. The correlation wasn't as strong there though

I found it late last night and was reading about it. Supposedly all the Wrestlemania matches were kept tight lipped but considering the Darkside of The Ring episode aired like a week or two before that's pretty fucking stupid. They could have just cut around it.

I just hate his look and the skateboarding gimmick. He looks like a kid dressed up as a juggalo. Not hating on his wrestling or AEW. I think it's the facepaint, I would rather see a fucked up half mask or something.
-
Darby is sick and can go I reckon (Darby vs Sammy G at revolution was a banger) but I can't help but think his gimmick would improve if he learned how to look a bit better on a board. Even people that don't skate have got to notice that shit even unconsciously. If he threw down on the runway like Reynolds instead of plopping his board on the floor and dropping in like a child. The little clip of him in the intro skating down to the ring looking like a dad on a longboard always gets me

I’ll take what I can get, skateboarding in wrestling will broaden our stroke. I love his style of wrestling. Him and Sammy always have good matches

I find it funny how WWE feel the need to counter-program AEW like this. Are they doing anything next week for Fight for the Fallen?
-
Holy shit Extreme Rules was bad.
-
It was bad, but not the worst. I'd say like a C+ simply because of how campy and corny the eye for an eye match was, how Baylee just found an incredibly stupid loophole, Seth's granola pukes, and the Swamp Fight was pretty creative.
The powerbomb through the table on Kofi looked brutal
-
The tag match was definitely the highlight. Kofi is top 3 talents in the company hands down.
AEW was really good last night.

How everyone feel about the "Wednesday Night War" being over with Nxt moving to Tuesday?

I only watched wrestling for like a 2- 3 year period in the early-mid nineties, but recently stumbled upon clips from Jim Cornette’s podcast on YouTube. At first I just listened to the clips that pertained to the wrestlers I liked as a kid (who all seemed to have died by the age of 40), but found him entertaining and started listening to clips of him talking about the wrestling business in general. Kinda reminds me of wrestling version of Slap. Super opinionated and whenever they review modern wrestling he basically just roasts them.
-
OMG Jim Cornette is absolutely the Slap boards of Pro Wrestling.
-
Did you hear about the allegations last year that Jim Cornette grooms wrestlers to have sex with his wife? He went on AT LENGTH about his denial and explanation, but yeah, that dude is WILD.
https://www.wrestlinginc.com/news/2020/06/jim-cornette-discusses-the-sexual-conduct-allegations-made-671829/
Should I watch AEW? I love NXT but I think Smackdown/Raw is pretty bland. Maybe don't tell me, because I'm not sure I need to dig a deeper hole into this habit.
-
Absolutely. I gave up with WWE as I just couldn't handle how they kept fucking everything up and treating the audience like idiots. AEW is more sports entertainy than NXT but it's all done right. Long term booking, storylines that make sense and don't get dropped out of nowhere, wrestlers being used properly, the comedy is actually funny, plus it's got some of the best wrestling in the world. I'd fully recommend it especially as NXT is moving to Tuesdays. There's plenty of faces you'll recognise so it should be easy enough to get in to, and the rest of the roster are amazing too.
There's a PPV on Sunday night, might be a good time to start
-
Yeah WWE is pretty bad these days, but I hope Lashley has a good run with the belt.
I would definitely recommend AEW.
I can't remember the last time I was this excited for a pay per view.
I have heard the Cornette allegations and from what I heard it was less grooming and more of a "if you want to make it in this business, you are gonna fuck my fat wife" kinda thing.

I think Revolution might be the first time I pay for a PPV other than when I paid the monthly WWE Network fee to get an NXT Takeover (which I didn’t realize until the last one that it used to be free on Hulu like all NXT eps were before they moved to USA). I’m a sucker for surprise appearances and there are two this time. I hope they continue to stream their pay per views at movie theaters like they’re trying out this time. For $20-30 it totally sounds worth it post pandemic
I used to love NXT. I started at the takeover with McIntyre vs Andrade Almas and was hooked. By the time it transferred over and Beth Phoenix and then Wade Replaced Nigel and Mauro, it just felt a shell of its former self.
AEW for its flaws at least feels like a promotion run by good people. When you hear AEW was the first promotion to ever give Jake the Snake a birthday cake and stuff like that, I’m willing to look past some goofiness because it’s still a young company and they finish storylines well even if sometimes the journey isn’t the greatest.

Absolutely. I gave up with WWE as I just couldn't handle how they kept fucking everything up and treating the audience like idiots. AEW is more sports entertainy than NXT but it's all done right. Long term booking, storylines that make sense and don't get dropped out of nowhere, wrestlers being used properly, the comedy is actually funny, plus it's got some of the best wrestling in the world. I'd fully recommend it especially as NXT is moving to Tuesdays. There's plenty of faces you'll recognise so it should be easy enough to get in to, and the rest of the roster are amazing too.
There's a PPV on Sunday night, might be a good time to start
pretty much all this. the wrestlers they have at AEW are a good mix of older legends (jericho, dustin runnels, jake the snake..) and newer dudes that are all actually getting used the way they should be. i try to keep up with RAW and AEW but i usually just end up watching the whatculture recaps on youtube. i like orange cassidy. haven't really seen much nxt though. that new jericho book sounds interesting.. https://thescribestore.com/products/the-complete-list-of-jericho-by-chris-jericho

Apart from the final explosion that was a complete dud, I think the rest of that match and the whole PPV was damn good. Sting and Darby's entrance was amazing and that match was pretty good, even though i would have never had the finish to a street fight take place in the ring. PAC and Ray Fenix vs. Young Bucks will be legendary. Women's title match was very good. Christian signing is interesting.

That sucked the energy right out of the room I was in. Horrid flat note to end an otherwise thoroughly enjoyable event.
I do hope Jim Ross is doing alright though. His voice was giving out.

After months of searching, I scored at the local Walmart. Big OC fan, I was fortunate to get one of his shirts before he jumped from the indies and it got redesigned. I’m no collector, but still have about 50 wrestling figures from throughout the years
