  1. I really enjoyed this week's show. Having bodies in the 'crowd' really adds to the show, and it was definitely lacking last week.


    Kenny and Trent just wanted to do something great, and whilst they did, it highlighted Trent more than Omega.


    Shida getting a win was great, hopefully she's the one to take the title off Rose.
    Great video for Hager/Moxley, but as mentioned above, it's a bit stupid to advertise an empty arena match right now...
    Jake's promo was another winner...
    Lance Archer's debut would have been so much bigger in front of an audience, but we wouldn't have got the throw into the crowd, which I loved. It went a bit long though, imo. The chokeslam was monstrous.
    Brodie Lee is already coming across far too tame. Perhaps that's because of my expectations, but it's just...not working. I'm happy to stick with it because I do believe AEW have long term plans, but for now, it's mostly skippable. I did enjoy the Dark Order gimps being named 8 & 9 though. 
    Jericho is the best. Such silliness, made great by Jericho. No other could do it like he does.
    I was intrigued by the Bucks little video. Nick saying he needs more time was interesting, and I'm curious as to how this will affect Hardy and Blood & Guts. If B&G is delayed, Nick returns, there's no need for Hardy in the match. Maybe that means they'll finish his thing with Jericho and do something interesting with him. Maybe just keep him going until Jeff is out of contract?
    The main event tag was decent. Cody always puts in a shift, but Darby is the star here. Guevara too. It's a shame one of them has to win in the QF match, and we don't get a higher stakes match with them later in the tournament. Good match, nice to see Spears put a win up, even if he wasn't involved in the decision. Hopefully the Sammy/Brandi mini-story doesn't turn into anything bigger.

     



    I really liked the smaller setting. When they get their second show running, I'd like it to be in a similar way, kinda studio wrestling, but on tour. Smaller venues, the smaller version of the stage/set, and like, 1000 or so fans packed around 3 sides of the ring. I think it worked wonderfully.

    Can i just bring you up to date with the rules around here?

    You now have to explain why Stephanie is a "cunt" with actual evidence/rumours/hearsay & gather the same from others.

     

    As you know that's a rule, kindly stick to it. Bring forth the "Triple H is a cunt" evidence.

    I've never met Triple H, so I can't comment on a personal opinion, but by and large, I think he's done far more for the business as a whole than he's taken from it, even in his current high powered position. His career nosedived after the curtain call, and he made his way back, all whilst under the extra scrutiny of being a wrestler dating Stephanie. It might be beneficial to him now, but anyone who thinks it was good for him to start boning the boss's daughter in the 90's is a bit silly.

    He's been a bit selfish occasionally, but he's definitely not a cunt. Hogan? Cunt. Snuka? Cunt. Trips? Nah.

    I can give you a first account that you will still dismiss, here goes (i have previously posted this on here ages ago, somewhere?):

    A guy i know went to a WWE UK event & on his return, bumped into me. After talking about the show, he hinted about Triple H being a cunt, so i pushed him into telling me why.

    Triple H & Flair were sat in a public area, having a chat. My friend said that he patiently waited at a distance, when it was apparent the they were on the move, he approached Triple H for an autograph on his programme. Triple H proceeded to snap his pen & say "Sorry i can't because your pen is broke", Flair just laughed in his face.

    When did this happen? One, I doubt the validity of the story, but two, if he's a heel, and your mate is bugging him out in public, he's gonna be a heel.

    If AEW can find a suitable middle ground for him, it could work. If they indulge him too much, it won't. 

    This is how I feel. I get that AEW want people to explore their own creativity, and say their own words, run their own gimmicks, etc, but it's a weekly episodic TV show, and the Broken Matt stuff doesn't fit at all with what they've been doing, and not in a good way. The teleportation stuff is (hopefully) going to be short lived, as they can't get away with that with a crowd. I get that they wanted to use the lack of crowd, but it was shit and they have to know that.

    AEW management/agents need to be more involved in the direction of gimmicks. Sure, have Broken Matt come in, but does it need to be "I'M MAGIC!" bullshit? Absolutely not.

    Apparently Jericho had them do a second take of the segment because he hated the first one so much. Should have gone for third time lucky, but if that’s the case just how bad was the first one? 

    I don't think it was that the first take was worse, more to do with the levels of sunlight. Apparently they filmed the segment a lot earlier, and Jericho didn't like that it would air and be light outside (being an outdoor venue). So they pre-taped Darby vs Sabian, and filmed the second take during that time, rushed it through editing, and aired it. 

    Doesn't excuse what a shocking moment of shit it was though.

    Did they seriously show this on TV?

    My biggest issue with this is that it's completely impossible to do with a crowd, and I don't think AEW should be doing things in the empty arena that wouldn't be possible in a full/half full arena. 

    My other issue is the shoddy editing. It looks shit. I'm sure some kids think it's great, but is my intelligence being insulted? Am I supposed to believe Hardy is teleporting? With my educated adult brain?

    This is the first time AEW has out and out disappointed me.

    Has WWE explained why this year's is too big for one night? Or were they just copying wrestle kingdom. 

    I don't think it was ever the plan until the COVID-19 stuff happened. 

    Probably just easier on WWE to plan out, build stages for and put together the various gimmick matches they're planning. If they don't have a live audience to please, they can take their time and work around different parts of the PC, or other locations, and put together a polished Wrestlemania.

  7. My mother in law revealed that she'd signed up, so I stole her login, and used my VPN to access it. 

    It's bloody fantastic. There is just so much on there. Definitely worth the £50 that she spent on it. 

    I didn't watch much Disney as a child, and my missus is looking forward to getting me through tons of it whilst we're in isolation.

    The anus has a lip at the front (dunno what the technical term is). If you wipe back to front, you can basically scoop up to it as you wipe.


    This is definitely a thing. I tend to scoop, maybe even pinch a little. I can't fathom the idea of just wiping, flat against your skin. That, more so than how I wipe, is how you get shit where it shouldn't be.

    You must have tiny, shrivelled balls as otherwise, I quite simply don't believe you.

    Whilst I think they are smaller than average, I wouldn't say tiny or shrivelled. But being pretty standard testicles otherwise, they're quite easy to move out of the way to wipe.

    Also, why would I lie? 

  10. I'm also a wipe from back to front, sitting down, hand through the legs kinda person. 

    Just saying, never wiped poo on my balls, my nipples or my nose during any of the wiping process.

    There's no way it'll happen, but I've now got an awesome scenario in my head where the Dark Order finally reveals their Exalted One, and it's Mil Muertes. Not Mesias or Ricky Banderas, just outright Mil Muertes himself.

    I want this. I didn't know it until now but I want this.

    I think it's just his way of trying to explain to the audience why on earth they'd be hugging in the middle of a match when they should be focused on winning.

    Why not just let them hug? They're best friends, after all. Why do wrestlers pose after hitting a big move instead of pinning an opponent? Why do people stand there waiting for someone to dive? Because it's wrestling.

    I first heard it on Celebrity Deathmatch, John Popper says it right before he kills Fiona Apple. 

    Hmm. Well, it doesn't add anything to the show, does it? I don't mind it so much, if Excalibur is talking it means JR isn't, but it's not entirely necessary.

    There’s a meeting tomorrow with the mayor of Tampa re approach to sporting events in the area...

    To further this, the meeting is to discuss whether or not to cancel large events. This could include/affect Wrestlemania.
