Santa is not real. The Easter bunny is not either. I assume you are not 12, so I am not ruining your day.
It is all fake no matter what you want to pretend. They are spectacular athletes and also decent actors. If both sides did not know what the other was going to do then they would be severely hurting each other. So if you do not like your current soap opera then you are changing loyalty for the characters. So, I agree that the characters of today are not as good as the characters of the early years but that is opinion. Some people thought Shawn Micheals, Rick Flair, Goldberg... were good but it made us change the channel and maybe come back later. The others are just wrestlers that want to be in the WWE just like arena or CFL football players want to get to the NFL. The focus on woman's wrestling is a political waste of money. There are a few quality actors and a group of cartoons. It all saves me from watching Bachelor or Dancing with the Stars type crap with my wife. |

I can't see Dustin being out there, just a weird fit, especially if he's got the paint on. Might be the turn of MJF already? It's a way out for Jericho and MJF sort of fits in with the Inner Circle better, although I'm not sure if Jericho/MJF are a good mix as they have a similar promo style and Jericho might overshadow him. We had a turn on Cody not that long ago though with Spears so it's probably unlikely.
Hangman needs more steam or save him for down the road. He doesn't feel important in this company yet. Pac vs Moxley looks the way to go in a no 1 contender but kind of leads to Moxley since he's the good guy, can't really have bad v bad as you inevitably turn one then cause the crowd got to cheer someone. I don't see Cody winning yet as it's a bit too quick. I wonder if Mitch the plant will make a comeback lol. Perhaps bitch the cactus would be better. |

I feel like they should have started the show with the tag team titles, it felt incredibly rushed at the end and took away from the significance of the first ever tag champs. To me it looked like they were very short on time, called an audible to quickly do a finish, so it came out of nowhere and felt flat. Then the celebration was less than that of a Young Bucks entrance. No pyro or anything. They should have put the six man tag at the end. The heat for Santana/Ortiz could have been switched easily to fit in at the start and at the end. The show overall was good though. Wish Moxley could have upped his game. Did we really need him to beat up Libby. His promo was good but felt like he got a little lost at times. That one line when he contradicted himself stands out but I hold him on a higher grade so I can't help but be more nit picky.

The other matches were mostly announced as 15min/1 fall so I was hoping that the tag finals would have more of the 'TV time remaining' than usual. I'm glad SCU won though.

So we also get a Janela/Spears match on Saturday as fallout from last night(and sometime on Dark which I really should be watching). So the card be filled including the women's title match that gets announced before the challenger pins the champion in a tag match and a 3-way tag title match that includes the losing finalists of the tournament just getting in for free. Maybe it's because of time crunch, but I'd have Lucha Bros get the pass into a #1 contenders match not just right back to the top of the line.
A damn good promo video from Jericho's side featuring the youngest AEW champion in history and an even better live cut out of Cody. I think the added stip could be telegraphing a Cody win though, not that it would be bad. To some degree Jericho has served his purpose as the first champion and him becoming just the leader of the Inner Circle isn't that big of a downgrade since that story is easily going until their next PPV whenever it is in 2020(they say they're only doing 4 a year). Plus Jericho is in a match at Wrestle Kingdom and stuff. |

Cody segment was easily the best since the old Bryan retirement. Don't get too many must see promos anymore anywhere but this was one of them. Telegraphed win is the obvious but who knows, maybe he doesn't care if he wins the belt.
The Inner Circle video piece was essentially a comedy skit, while amusing, not sure what purpose it really had considering the serious nature Cody had in his wasn't matched. For me AEW is like a big rock concert, you enjoy the show and have a nice time. NXT is a concert where you're trying to enjoy it but everybody around you is being a fucking arse. It's the mid-week shout your face off stress decompress for that crowd and I don't like being a part of it. It feels like a show for them and not the TV audience. |

I think what they're going for is a variant of the line from Street Fighter; where tomorrow is clearly the most important night of Cody's life but for Jericho it's just another Saturday. So while Jericho is making jokes, Cody is all business. Does it catch up to Jericho, we shall see.

The start of the video was a spoof on what Cody/Brandi did, I didn't connect on that one. I've watched wrestling everyday since Monday of this week so everything is a blur. You're right though, I figured, after I gave more thought about it, that it's Jericho not taking him seriously. Regardless, it was great, and I read that it was unscripted which is refreshing.
Here's a list of what we're on about, if anybody else exists in this thread and wants to expose their eyes to it lol. The unscripted Jericho video from Dynamite The Cody promo segment from Dynamite Gonna check these out before Full Gear. If you wanna see them probably best to use x1.5 to get through them faster, makes it less of a chore. Full Gear Countdown Early AEW Dark |

I played WWE 2K20 and even with the patch, it's still a glitch-filled mess. 2K really shat the bed this year. It sucks because I was very interested in the Four Horsewomen Showcase this year.
I was playing the Last Woman Standing match in Showcase Mode. Charlotte did her instant recovery and became all contorted. A friend of mine said that they really should've just skipped a year. They could have had the Showcase, extra arenas, and extra characters as DLC for 19, but they make more money selling an incomplete game. It's like EA.

They were too busy jerking off to their nude models of the Bayley bunch to concentrate on making the game function properly. Probably a personal hot coffee mode hidden in that code that got patched so don't patch guys!
Changing lanes, Full Gear was good. My half prediction of MJF turning happened. I suspect perhaps the judges will overrule the decision and Cody will be able to go for the title again or something like that. Anyone else think liquid thrower guy was a plant? I was waiting for somebody to hurl something lol. Feels like Cody is gonna run out of opponents soon. Moxley and Omega was essentially ECW revived without E-C-Dub being chanted at every big spot. I personally liked it. Omega is a wrestling whore, meaning he just goes all in on every style, full fucking gear, we know where that name came from now cos I just made it up. I hope they make some signings soon, I feel we're starting to get to rematches galore territory and that can be fucking boring. Scurll and Bandido contracts are up soon, I can see getting signing. Dragon Lee would be awesome but no idea his status. Pepsi man would be nice too. |
