The King Of Swing

NOAH was also involved in some sort of Yakuza scandal. Think it actually cost the promotion it's TV deal.

Professional Wrestling, the thinking man’s sport.

A game of human chess. 

Watched the show Thursday. Was enjoying Willow Vs. Sky until the show suddenly cut off. 

Happen to anyone else? Just assumed Willow won, so didn't bother checking elsewhere.

Perfectly acceptable episode.

Not feeling the upcoming PPV at the moment, though.

I'm sure Storm/Deeb and Swerve/Christian will be good but it feels very B-PPV, to me. 

Still early days of course. 

Let's be honest Mogg loves shit like that. Remember him smugly walking around the Cunts Conference while getting pelted with abuse 

He'll be on TV banging on about "extreme lefty mobs" attacking him and his audience will lap it up. 

I really need to play both Nier's again.

Dammit Tony. You had one job.

Yeah same. Little Tone is one of the biggest, if not THE biggest baby face in AEW history. To a lot of fans, he saved wrestling and is easy to get behind as he leads his lads to get back what’s his. 

Plus it would be the first actual authority figure storyline they've ever done, so I can cut them some slack.

Fantasy booker wanker warning. 

A few months of Big Shaddy Daddy and his cronies fucking AEW originals over (complete with storyline sackings of people that TK was too nice to let go) and a big gimmick blowoff.

I'd probably have the heels take Blood & Guts, with the faces winning an Anarchy in The Arena or Stadium Stampede to blow off the fued.

There’s mileage in a bad guy authority figure there. Big Shaddy Cool cuts off his sons allowance and they have to fight against his wrath to save their jobs and the company. 

I'm being dead serious when I say that I'm hoping that this is what they do. Big Shaddy and The New Elite running the show like a bunch of ruthless pricks, could be a fun program.

Anyway really enjoyable show for the most part.

%100 agree that Swerve being immediately booked in a competitive match against a midcard guy, was a daft decision. Hopefully just filler until deranged Hangman gets back. 

Happy that Mina is already back. Was worried that she'd vanish until a week before Forbidden Door.

As pointed out a lot of stuff being built around the women's division. If signing Mercedes was responsible for TK getting his shit together, then I can forgive the shit few weeks. 

I'm hoping it's Jamie Hayter who is responsible for the attacks. Yeah I know, not happening 😭

Gauntlet was a lot of fun. 

Poor Big Bill looked dead in the eyes. I honestly thought that this Jericho had potential but nope, I was dead fucking wrong. Fuck off Jericho. 

Good closing angle. Sure you could see it coming a mile away but predictable isn't always bad.

Kind of funny that only the midcard guys bothered to come out. Main guys are all like fuck that mark, we've got our big money contracts. 

Steller Blade Demo. 

Looks pretty but didn't even need to finish it, to know that I'd get bored of the full game quickly. 

Naming the main character Eve is about as creatively bankrupt as it gets. Petty complaint, I know. 

Unless the full game is mind blowing, looks like a 'wait for a sale' title, to me.

Out of interest did people on the forum hate jericho before the allegations were made? I wasn't on it then. 

Nah. People were definitely growing tired of Jeticho, well before then.

Anyway great show. Okada teasing the Rainmaker pose, only to flip off the crowd. 

Thank fuck that Yuka was working with Emi.

I hear that RVD likes a smoke, once in a while. 

About £16 on the Triller/FITE website which charges in dollars, for some reason.

Yeah as fun as MJF's stuff with Cole was at points, looking back it definitely hurt his reign, imo. 

Odds on Undisputed Kingdom being dead before MJF even returns? The faction is already ice cold and I don't think Cole has even been on TV recently. Feels like everyone involved already sees the writing on the wall.

State of Max Caster. Chucking his belt on the floor gave off real I'm fucked and I know it vibes. Gone by the end of the year I reckon and %100 convinced that The Acclaimed are doing the job on Sunday.

Where did it all go wrong? 

Strong episode.

I find myself agreeing that now is the time to pull the trigger on Swerve.

Adam Page becoming even more unhinged as Swerve's first challenger, could be a blast.

Okada is a glorious dick head.

Cracking main event and a strong closing segment. 

Final Fantasy XIV (PS5) 

Has pretty much become my go to game when I can't be arsed with anything else.

Finally started Shadowbringers, after at a guess almost 3 years, lol. 

Really good effort from Athena and Red Velvet at BoTB. 

Pretty pointless show in the grand scheme of things (couldn't even be arsed to put the international title on the line) but still a solid enough hour or wrestling. 

Not surprised that AZM gave Storm her best match in ages. She's great.

Finally got around to watching Dynamite, expecting the worst. 

Wasn't great but nowhere near as bad as people are making out. That'll teach me for coming into this thread before actually watching the show, like an idiot. 

Wembley footage was obviously the low point and I really hope that's the end of the whole, sorry affair.

To their credit, I think FTR did their best to salvage the situation. Dax is a solid promo. 

Okada being visibly bored in his squash match was fun. 

A Storm/May/Mina triangle could be a good laugh. But I'm worried that Mina will vanish into the void until we get closer to Forbidden Door. Hopefully she can stick around a little longer. 

Fuck it, I'll say it. Delusional mentor Jericho has legs, imo. At least it seems like he's finally fucked off Judas. 

Could have done without the Triple H dig but Osprey's promo was fine outside of that.

Mercedes is much more suited to pre-taped promos.

Fucking hell, I genuinely thought that he was finally getting his holiday.

Pretty boring episode, tbh. 

Yuka Vs. Deeb could be a lot of fun and enjoyed the post HOB match brawl. But not much else.

STP another example of AEW expecting people to take complete scrubs as some sort of threat.

Oh and Ogogo finally returns just to be sucked into the Jericho blackhole. Fucking hell.

I'm so sick of this shit. I just want to enjoy a weekly wrestling show.

Undisputed Kingdom are absolutely dead in the water. Outside of Strong, of all people, they are complete losers. 

Never mind MJF Vs. Cole, when both are healthy. Subvert the whole thing and have MJF actually forgive Cole on his return, and spend a few months trying to bring him back into the light.

Then have them both send the rest of the scrubs packing.

Fuck logic, anything would be better than a prolonged MJF/Undisputed Kingdom feud.

A vertical suplex between the two and Trevor from Eastenders

And that’s the only positives I have. Woeful.

I gave up on King of Monsters around halfway through. Just soulless slop.

Skull Island was fun, though.
