The main thing is that he's a racist, misogynist old prick,

He's from Kentucky isn't he. Not wishing to tar them all with the same brush like he would so many people but growing up and living your life mainly in that area would definitely have a heavy bearing on the first two. I'm not defending him in the slightest, he is definitely those things. 

Okada looked the business and having him come in as a heel is great. I'm not sure I'm mad keen for his first fued to be the Mad King but I'm sure that he will just be keeping Okada ticking over until Kenny comes back. Nice to see there will be no replication of the Callis Family storyline by getting rid of Kenny from The Elite so we can have a proper heel\face dynamic when he does come back.

I use to love listening to Cornette. But more and more content is dedicated to him just slagging AEW, even when it's good! Sorry I can't agree with a man who thinks Moxley is shit.

It's the name calling that irks me. How can a man who calls Kenny Omega "Kenny Olivia" and the Buck "The Young Fucks" also have such great insight into the history of the business. It's infuriating. 

AEW is far from perfect, but if you can't even give them credit where it's due, then it makes what you say very questionable. 

Then we can't agree. I also think Moxley is pretty shit. He was the worst member of the Shield, which is a tough race to win and he insists on playing this hard man gimmick when he's about as threatening as a Shetland Pony out for a lovely walk on a spring morning. 

Like Dev I listen to the Cornette historical stuff, but I do know that he doesn't call Omega Kenny Olivia. It's Kenny Olivier as in Sir Laurence. I assume its something to do with supposed dramatic performances. Cornette can be a bellend but having names for people to amuse mainly himself is not something I can criticize.

some of the responses now are tiresome

Another of the ever growing list of mottos for this place. 

I think I read that primary turnout for both parties is down, as always come the general election turnout will be key. The Republicans have worked hard over the past 4 years to make it more difficult to vote with the ID requirements, obviously because it affects likely Democrat voters more. One of the crazy results of last night was the Democratic primary on American Samoa. They don't get electoral college votes but they hold a primary. Biden came 4th.

There's cut scenes in the game with real footage in, when you achieve certain points in the match it cuts to real footage and finishes the section off, they blur referees faces and WWF logos so I'm not sure if that's what the image is from. I only know this as eldest got it yesterday and I went to speak to him at an opportune time

The last WWE console game I played was in 2008. I imagine it's changed a bit since then.

Is that from the game? He's fully visible in the showcase match from Wrestlemania X7 so it'll be interesting to see what Vince stuff is edited in the game and what's left. 

That's real isn't it Hazza, it's just that Charlotte has had so much work that she looks like she's from a game in real life.

Up there with filibuster.

If we are playing Bombcars language trivia game then filibuster comes ultimately from the Dutch: vrijbuiter meaning freebooter or pirate. I learned that on The West Wing. 

Is anyone going to do the Darby Allin\Glass ceiling joke or shall we just take it as read and move on with our day?

I don't think she'll withdraw until the Convention, if she can afford to keep going.  She's gambling that Trump falls foul of the law somewhere between now and November leaving her as the only obvious alternate candidate.  So getting votes in all the states leading up to the Convention solidifies that claim.

Turns out she is going to pack it in. So it's going to be Trump v Biden, the rematch that literally no one wants.

AEW could maybe do with a mini WWE-style culling. 

If Tony releases people and instead of saying "We wish them the best in their future endeavours " he just says "Thanks guys" then I'm all for it

Sting's retirement means more than mere trinkets or baubles. Its the biggest thing in his career.  The second biggest thing of old DA's career will be if he actually climbs Everest and comes back alive. Any World Titles would literally be downhill after that. 

That's a face that will haunt my nightmares. He looks like Paul Weller after no sleep for 3 weeks. 

Super Tuesday is a big day. I suppose Nikki Haley will have to withdraw from the race after today. Trump will obviously be buoyed by thst but his problems are more financial in nature at the minute.

We went to hospital after a conker fell from a tree and broke his nose

Sorry I missed this the first time but the inestimable @tiger_rick posting this in paido paradise has jogged a memory of a lad who i went to school with whose nickname was generally Monty, after Field Marshall Montgomery who he was obsessed with but who also known as Brittle Bone Boy. Monty would break bones on such a regular basis that he seemed to be in plaster more often than Bob Orton. For example playing football in PE one day Monty was in goal and at a corner where he along with the ball was headed into the goal, the clash of heads broke his cheekbone and as he fell to the floor he landed awkwardly on his arm breaking his wrist. 

Anyway back to the conkers. A group of us were throwing sticks into a tree to get conkers down. Monty threw a big stick in that nearly hit him on the way down, but what did hit him in the face was the half a brick that someone else had thrown in and had got stuck in the tree until Monty's throw dislodged it. A trip to the hospital to sort out his broken nose obviously followed. In the time we were at secondary school he must have broken at least two bones per year. 

Allin is off to climb Everest at the end of March so everyone should remain glass free. 

I can only echo everyone else's opinions of the show, what a belter. Ospreay and Takeshita was remarkable, Sting is a mentalist, fair play to him going out like that. TK looked pleased in the presser to have given Sting a proper send off, and he probably had a semi on because now he gets to book a tournament to crown new champs. Toni Storm was great in the presser as well. 

Did anyone else catch the Otabek v Ford fight from the weekend? A really good fight with a great finish. If you haven't then I recommend thar you do.

That made me laugh more than it should. 

Is it just my need for everything to be orderly or is 11 years a weird amount to lie about. 5 or 10 years, fair play if you can get away with it, but 11, he must be a psycho. 

What is it with AEW legal that they can't sort visas out properly?

I preferred Chucklevision to Silvervision to be honest.

Depends where you look on the UKFF really. There's always d these weird pockets of fans. The company ones arguing with each other. The ones obsessed with Rhea Ripley and her bum. The ones that do indeed believe everything is cinema, the ones that would sooner have a chippy tea than watch Nia Jax, and then that one account that just puts rings on everything. It's an incredibly odd place. I just mostly use it for news and updates these days.

I think you are unfair to Dominic but the rest is right.

The problem is, nothing but fucking off.

He's such a huge star, that he can't not be the centre of attention at worst or a massive distraction at best.

If he was back fucking around with Logan Paul or something, or if Cody wasn't in the picture, I'd have no beef. But there's a simple, singular story to tell about the Blonde weirdo beating the final level boss.

Instead, we're going to have all these satellite dickheads knocking about, and distractions like 'will seth screw cody?' Or 'will the rock screw Roman?'.

He's just too big a star to naturally slot into a supporting role, which is all that's needed here.

I fully understand that mate, thank you for clarifying it. The trouble is that this isn't finished yet. I've read plenty of reports thst WWE want Sly Stallone involved at Wrestlemania. After Rollins turns on Cody on night one how are you going to feel about the Rock and Rocky slugging it out with Solo and Jimmy during the Bloodline Rules match on night 2?
