  1. I currently watch less wrestling than at any time in the past twenty years, but that still amounts to a solid few hours a week. Until last year, I was watching all the AEW shows every week, but I burned myself out on it and my interest pretty much fell off a cliff as I felt the direction of the shows pulling further away from my personal tastes. I didn't like MJF as champ, I've never liked Adam Cole, I wasn't bothered about Edge coming in. I'm not really interested in anybody just having long TV matches for the sake of it. So I stopped watching almost all of it and didn't feel I missed it. Just recently I've started to dip my toe back in, but now I'm happy just skim-watching an episode of Dynamite or Collision once every other week or so to keep up to speed. I did the same thing with WWE a few years ago, only returning to watch it when the praise for the Bloodline storyline on this place made it impossible to ignore any longer. So now I am back into WWE moreso than AEW, but I'll just skim-watch SmackDown and catch up on the Cody bits of Raw every week. Across both promotions that's about two or three hours of TV in total each week, which is about as much as I can find the time for.
  2. Could not resist buying this cute scarf for our Lady 😊
  3. In here, I'd assume. It's a discussion forum, after all.
  4. Like @Statto, I absolutely love the Usos, I think they're one of the greatest tag teams of all time. Certainly one of my favourites. Their Mania match-up feels cold to me because it's just hard for me to invest in the idea that these brothers really want to fight each other. I just don't like seeing them apart. They're undeniably a stronger act together than individually, as evidenced by the fact that as a tag team they main evented night one of WrestleMania last year. I want that sort of success for them.
  5. TWC came along just at the point of my wrestling fandom evolution into an insufferable forum-dwelling smart mark. It felt like a dream come true to have a channel dedicated to such a niche interest at that point. It definitely helped broaden my interests and educate me as a fan. I miss having anything like that now.
  6. "Oh, you get money? Well hallelujah, I get money too, mo' power to ya!"
  7. What if Gable isn't 'genuinely your favourite wrestler', but you just feel his story and his in-ring style is a better fit for Gunther at WrestleMania? Don't get yourself all dismayed over it dude.
  8. I think Sami and Gable largely have the same type of fanbase, that appreciate the grafters and want to see them rewarded on the big stage. Sami got that last year, in a big way. So I think a lot of fans just felt like it should have been Chad's turn this year. I think he has the better backstory with Gunther too.
  9. It was so much easier when I was a kid, when it was the fashion for footy shirts to be baggy as fuck. At age 13 I'd have men's L or XL and be guaranteed never to grow out of them. Even better, the ones I kept still fit me now!
  10. "I'm afraid I've got some BAD NEWS!" used to pop me so much. Terrific catchphrase and delivery. Bad News Barrett was a great name too. Bring it all back!
  11. I never saw The Nexus as anything like a missed opportunity, if anything they were sort of the opposite of that, if that makes any sense. They were initially pushed way, way too strong for the level of talent they had in that group, there was no way they could have sustained that much longer than they did. I think they realised this and that's why they were disbanded pretty abruptly. I think Barrett and Bryan would both have been much better off without being introduced separately, the association with the group probably stunted their development. Well, it definitely did for Bryan because he was a sacrificial sacking at the time.
  12. He's been forever over with me just for the name Custom Chucky P.
  13. No, but we're not talking about him being the next coming of The Rock, just that he probably deserves a crack at a main event.
  14. I guess the counter argument to that is that the matches you'd volunteer for best of Rock or Hogan would be their big main events and title matches.
