As long as they're not homophobic.

Nevermind.

Yeah, that's fair.

Exactly this. No amount of public arse licking of Triple H should make people forget that the majority of people in positions of power who enabled a culture where someone can be raped in the office ARE STILL AT THE COMPANY. Including that cunt Triple H himself. As for Tony Khan's comments, yeah they're incredibly stupid but I don't really feel like they're anything really major or earth shattering in the grand scheme of things. Everyone laps it up when CM Punk talks shit but gets weirdly upset when Tony Khan does it.

...what was he going for here? A World Champion shouldn't be doing stuff this dumb and this badly.

Painmaker will always be the worst Jericho. Always.

As should be the case with any annoying little bastard heel. If you're a little guy and you're a heel no one should believe you are genuinely tough, it's all about them being sneaky, cheating, being cowardly, hiding behind bigger mates and using every corner cutting dastardly trick in the book to get the advantage on their opponents.

No way, I love reading your show reviews!

Thinking about that class Casino Gauntlet match still, with some tweaks, new name and more hoopla around it it could really be there Royal Rumble equivalent if they wanted. Do it annually. Bonkers and mad fun.

The handling of Swerve on this show was pretty fucking disgraceful. A 3 minute promo would have been better than an ice cold pointless 15 minute match. I'm fine with the Tony Khan stuff as I'm fairly certain he's not going to be a regular character. Gauntlet match was absolutely loads of fun, highlighting how exciting, great and deep this roster is. Ospreay as International Champion works for me. It's too soon for him to go straight to the main event scene. The pacing of this show overall was really weird and made it hard to get into and a fair amount of it felt flat or weirdly booked.

Not discounting or arguing your perfectly reasponable opinion but it's interesting how different people can view the same match. I absolutely loved this match, and my only criticism would be there wasn't enough Eddie Kingston. Though Mark Briscoe did an excellent job carrying the majority of the match - he's just so fucking great. What I really loved about this match is that the key part of the story they told was actually about holding back on the thing the fans wanted the most - Adam Copeland vs Malakai Black. They spent the whole match teasing it then backing away from it and withholding it from the audience then at the matches conclusion they finally face off Black immediately cheats to cut it short and get the victory. Proper good old school stuff. You put on an exciting match while simultaneously building up the next big match.

Yeah I don't see how having one of the most entertaining, engaging and original characters on your show being the Champion can ever be a bad thing. There's a vast difference between a character being funny and a "comedy character". Toni is very funny but the difference is she's not actively trying to make the audience laugh. She plays it completely straight, which is what makes her funny and most importantly believable, and is still presented as a capable physical threat in the ring and that's what makes it work. She's quite often the best bit of any show she's on and the best acts should be in top positions with Championships. Simple as that.

The main thing to me is I want to see an epic and classic Bryan Danielson singles match. Whether that's a rematch with Ospreay, Kenny Omega or a new match with Pac or Samoa Joe or Orange Cassidy or Darby Allin...to me that's the thing of most importance on this show.

I think that in the history books probably the best thing AEW will be remembered for is that it's a place where top guys can finish off their careers with one last hurrah, showing total creative freedom and a wide range of opponents from all over the world. Sting, Danielson, Christian and now Copeland who seems to be on the cusp of putting out some really special stuff. I'd like this to be a usual thing, guys winding down their careers in the most fun way possible in AEW.

Not sure what "seen my own arse" means but I'm totally fine with it though and was unaffected by your original post. I'd rather just keep to discussing Dynasty or AEW related things in here if that's ok?
