Hannibal Scorch

They have had TV matches before which were pretty good actually. I definitely think having Julia wrestle people like Statlander and Nightingale are why she’s improved

It’s a shame you didn’t enjoy the EVP Bucks @Devon Malcolm, I think this has been one of the better runs tbh. I also understand that Julia/Willow was so short because Julia’s been injured for a while now so it wasn’t what it was supposed to be.

I am not sure why this came into my head after clicking the link?

I finally saw Ospreay Danielson last night.it lived up to expectations. I don’t think we’ll see a better wrestling match this year. The post match antics were a bit much, but I guess it builds to the next stage of the story. Will also had another blinding press conference appearance. He’s really won me over the last 12 months.

Was there any back ups to the Adam Cole being Keith Lee's manager rumours which were circling before their releases from WWE? That seemed unlikely to me.

Toni Storm is such a gift at this press conferences (time stamped hopefully at 40:02)

If only. As to Jericho’s attire, a few times during his run his reverted to a different gimmick (like the Painmaker), Lionheart Chris Jericho is one such gimmick and he’s be doing it for the last few months, even coming out to different music and Tron. Why? Because it’s Jericho.

Tbf that sounds delightful, miss those days

"Here you go kid, watch this Ipad, Daddy's using the big screen today". I did my usual try and watch some live then watch the rest tomorrow, but fell asleep about 90 minutes in, so will catch up with the rest tonight/commute home if the wifi isn't awful.

@RedRooster How did you get to watch Wrestlemania night 2 so quickly? Although I agree I would rather more PPV's on a Saturday I guess having a weekly TV show scheduled makes it more difficult to do so. Only watched a few matches before I fell asleep and got woken by Ospreay's pop as he made his entrance. I am saving that match until later tonight. But I m so glad Willow won. Julia has come on leaps and bounds in the last 18 months, but Willow has such great energy that I am glad she has won it. Bucks/FTR I thought was really good. Loved the little call backs to previous matches (like when Cash was reckless diving into an empty table, similar to when he went for a 450 and missed which lost them the titles before). But I especially enjoyed the returning Jack Perry. The way security came rushing into the ring gave it a sense of realism you don't get in these angles normally. A small but important touch. Swerve's Black Panther inspired entrance was great. Joe has been a great champion, and I have really enjoyed his reign, but Swerve has made his own ascension in the last 6-12 months and it's been great to see. I am really looking forward to what they do with him going forward. Only the 8th world champion in almost 5 years of exsistance.

Abigail was pretty fun. A little long I thought pacing wise, but Dan Stevens chewing up scenery, Kathryn Newton and Kevin Durand bringing some laughs and Melissa Barrera having fun. Alisha Weir is fantastic, that's three great film performances she's had now, a right little star. Reminded me of Ready or Not at times, no surprise as it's the same directors.

@garynysmon If I'm not mistaken you watch as much AEW as I watch TNA (social Media clips, you Tube bits). If so I can see your stance on Matt Hardy. But he has been a drain on AEW for a while, briefly refreshed when Jeff jumped over. But when he first joined in 2020 he was given plenty of freedom, firstly being broken, then having/funding his own stable. Both got stale rather quickly. Personally without Jeff and doing the Hardy reunion, I don't know what he adds to any promotion. I hope he is entertaining enough for you in TNA, especially if they are going to give him a big push.

I don’t think I ever paid less than £16.99 on Fite TV going back to double or nothing 2020. Just checked and every ppv other than Wrestledream and All In were $19.99. Those two were $15.99.

I hope Chris Jericho is good friends with Vince

You may have spoken to soon, that’s not good. I hope they get a lot of walk ups.

Monkey Man here too @LaGoosh although both were high 8 films for me, Monkey Man edges it

My god The Rock 😂

The Mogul Embassy?

I’m not even sure that was the case. All In was on ITV4 and repeated again on ITV 1. WrestleDream only got the ITV4 treatment which I assume would be down to views. But ITV Box Office was built around Boxing. AEW was just more content, but the boxing bombed to the point they felt it wasn’t worth keeping it open, AEW be damned. And it wasn’t a bad thing for us, because ITV Box Office only got you the PPV for the week. Fire/Triller you can go back and watch them whenever you want, much better value.

I should have known that I’d find Immaculate disappointing after I heard Kermode rave about it. Typical nun based horror with plot points which seem to be mentioned but soon forgotten about. Not Sydney Sweeney’s finest hour (and 30 minutes).

So glad to see the outpouring of love for Nyla. One of the great tweeters. I thought that was a cracking go home show*. Great Mox promo, an unexpected bait and switch for the opener (I believe Julia is working hurt), great story progressions for Dynasty and a fantastic main event with Ospreay and Castagnoli, topped with a great go home spot with Swerve stomping an army to get to Joe. Great stuff! *other than Piss Jericho, can’t believe he’s worked on to the main show and not zero hour.

It’s a beautiful thing

As I said in another thread, same thing happened with Hangman, the thrill was in the chase. I agree it’s too soon to write him off though, it’s only been a week and change since he won

It was the Ogogo bit that really did it for me. That and the more Brandi got involved the less I cared. Both of them seem lovely in real life, but she was prototype Jericho.

Not sure where else it fits, but I thought this thread was interesting. It was in response to a very pro WWE twitter account saying Cody’s promos since winning have been dull and someone asking if this was how his downfall started in AEW. I think it’s still far to early to say Cody’s a bust but still
