    Seeing the actual footage of a grown man attacking someone over something so stupid was depressing. CM Punk is depressing. If you watched this and still like CM Punk that's depressing. 

    Seeing the actual footage of a grown man attacking someone over something so stupid was depressing. Pro wrestling is depressing. If you watched this and still like Pro wrestling that's depressing. Discussing it on a forum, thats depressing. Wasting even one more second of time on any of it, that's depressing. I think my story is finished chaps. 

  2. Well I can certainly see why Tony was scared for his life. Probably nearly died laughing at how stupid it all was. Adding to the stupidity by showing it 8 months later just made the AEW fans in attendance chant Punk's name. Stupid built upon stupid is obviously going to pay off in the end though. The PPV buy is going to be huge to see the EVP's v FTR off the back of that segment. 

  3. I also like raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens but since WCW went out of business they've stopped having the "Thing on a pole" match quite so much and you don't get any of them anymore.

    Genuine question, Do you actually watch any AEW or you just here for making quips?  

    I know this isn't directed at me but I will answer anyway. I like quips, flips and chips that's why I'm here. AEW provides one of those three, that's why I watch and Tony Khan's booking is neither funny nor potato based, though some of his ideas are only half baked, am I right guys!!!!!????

    I don't give a shit! I want my Monday morning back!

    If you pay up I'm sure Mr Emmanuel will happily arrange everything to suit you. Shouldn't be more than about 12 million dollars. Pocket change for a fellow of your standing.

    I don't mind two nights, but wish it was Friday and Saturday. That's the next hurdle they need to cross. Go on Paul. 

    They aren't giving up a Smackdown to make it Friday and Saturday. That would be giving up a guaranteed sell out of an arena and would breach their TV contract. 

  7. AEW just trying to suck up some clout from WWE's biggest weekend ever. The only real surprise is that it's not The Final Clout Vampire himself doing the commentary. If Jericho thought this was going to be important he'd be doing it.

    "well, Tongan, Samoan, all the same, innit?".

    Geography is not a strong point for Americans. Anywhere in Polynesia will do, in fact scrap that, most Americans think Polynesia is when you can't remember parrots. Anywhere in the Pacific will do.

    So Rock vs Cody is happening then? They certainly teased it. 

    Teased it? They rammed it squarely up everyone's arse with no lube. 

    One thing we definitely saw last night was the TKO effect on ticket sales. The minimalist staging and screens to get more arses on seats is not something you would have seen pre-buyout. Vince loved the Titantron so much it probably has its own NDA.

    That's more reason to have Cody do it, surely?

    Fuck, am I Jim Cornette?

    You will never be Jim Cornette, you are far too nice a person. 

    I haven't explained myself properly. It's not in Roman's character to a straight up one on one wrestling match. Cody overcomes the odds, that's in his character, Roman relies on underlings, that's in his. If anything not having more people coming in to help Roman was the biggest surprise. That match showcased what both men are about perfectly. I understand the desire to see a one on one battle but it wouldn't be appropriate really Tiger_Jim 😁

  11. I don't disagree with you at all Tigger_R but what I would say is, and maybe I'm giving them more credit than they deserve, but over his title reign it has been proven that Roman can't be beaten in a straight battle. The only way to beat Roman was to out shenanigan him, and they did so in such a way that Cody was the only one who really touched Roman, bar the AA from the Boston Baldspot Bandit.

    Drew didn’t even have 100% backing in the UK.

    Of course he didn't. He's a Sweaty and they were in Wales. You aren't comparing like for like. Also had he won then he'd have got cheered by the English, but like Andy Murray he reverts to been Scotch rather than British when he loses. Hence a smattering of boos.

    Ads and product placement all over the place is definitely too much.

    Compared to boxing or UFC it's about the same they are just catching up. It's new for WWE but it's hardly new for sports presentation in general. 

  14. Enjoyable for the most part. Rhea and Becky was enjoyable, loved Sami and Gunther. As has been said the big lad needs to move on to the world title scene. The main was everything I expected except that Rock didn't explode in a shower of muscles after 5 minutes. That was a medical marvel. The only dud as has been commented on was the Uso's. WWE learned nothing from that shite Hardy boys match 15 years ago. As Dev says.

    I really want to like these guys but their matches these days, singles or tags, are always bad. A million superkicks and no selling, what fucking shit.

    Perhaps they need a repackage. Put them in different coloured suits and get the Rock to make them EVPs. Joking aside put them back together away from Rock and Roman. 

    Looking forward to night 2. The main event is going to be an hour of madness.
