  1. Who you kidding? Strowman was beloved and the fans were cheering as he smashed in Roman night in / night out. Didn't help that Roman had to get his SHIELD buddies to help him defend the belt against him like a heel. At the time, I honestly thought they dropped the ball not making Roman the heel at that time. Seriously... how is that not the start of heel champ Roman1?!?!
  2. It'll still be a fucking slog to get through. Seriously... worse comes to worse they stream it for free on Youtube? But surely... SURELY... someone will pay something to have Raw for 3 months?!?
  3. Personally I'm hoping they drop Raw to 2 hours.
  4. Sadly we do and BOY are you going to be dissappinted.
  5. It's a shame that the IC belt has been locked around Gunther (rightfully), as the story between Jay and Jimmy is that one chose to walk away as he believed in himself and the other stayed in the abusive relationship with Roman. As such the one who walked and had faith in himself succeeded where his brother did not, building jealousy within Jimmy. BUT Jay's not had anything super material (accept for a flash in the pan tag title reign) to show for it. Jay having a run with the ic belt, with Jimmy constantly coming up short, before eventually screwing his bro over for his ic belt would of made this whole thing better.
  6. Sad fact is they weren't. They had that thread go on for one month.... then it was dropped completely... then brought up recently to give him a bit of background heading into the gauntlet. Big Gable fan, gutted for him.
  7. So i didn't watch the show (just read the results) and just seems a bit "meh" that the top two advertised moments (Mone's debut and the AEW Title match) were put out first. Nothing against Rhio and Willow, but as a main event? Anyway... after this show it appears are top fueds are: Mone vs Julia Hart (TBS) Joe vs Strickland (WORLD) Storm vs Parrazzo (WOMENS) Okada vs Kingston (CONTINENTAL) Ospreay vs Danielson Bang Bang Gang vs The Acclaim (TRIOS) Jericho vs HOOK (Meh......) Copeland vs Cage (TNT) Tag Tournie (BCC vs FTR?) I mean hell.... that's impressive looking. The next PPV has the possibility to deliver one of the best shows in ring in sometime for AEW.
  8. I doubt it would of been much different, as he was back in time for the Nexus ten man tag at Summerslam. Though saying that, maybe if he stayed he would of remained to be on the heel side so would of been robbed of his rise to US champion.
  9. He's trying to distant himself from the shitty little Prime drinker. "You're not my son, you're my daughters brother. GOT IT?"
  10. 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.
  11. I reckon she'll take everything. The manager, the gimmick, the title.... it will be fantastic.
  12. Sadly he was done the minute he was above his tag team. Look at the monster names he's trying to compete with! It was never going to happen anytime soon.
  13. Another thing to consider is that we are in a echo chamber. The average age of people on the UKFF has to be increasing over the years SURELY? So when were all spriteful and in our youth, we all thought anyone who was 35+ was old and over the hill, but now that we're all crusty gits ourselves, we're okay with 50 year old wrestling. I'm still involved in the AUS wrestling scene, and as a result I see a lot of sentiment from the younger generation (18 to 20 ish) who dislike the older wrestlers and think young wrestlers are being held back. So it might be OUR perceptions have changed as we've gotten older, AS WELL as the fact that generally people being healthier for longer.
  14. Actually that episode of Hey EW is what started me thinking this. The character on that was so different from the fawning super fan. Let me be clear, I don't quite like the portrayal for the sake of the story. She's meant to bloom into this self absorbed asshole like Toni. But I can see Mariah May is fucking awesome as is Toni. The minute her contract with AEW comes to a end, WWE will snap her up (or attempt it). She's really good.
  15. I know Im probably the only one who thinks this, and as amazing a talent as Mariah May is (she has a very bright future), I can't help but feel AEW and May herself arn't playing the character right consistently. If it's based on the 1950s movie 'All About Eve', she's suppose to be a over eager fan, but in her matches and AEW social content comes across as this incredibly confident, flirty and powerful woman. The only time she seems to be accurate of the character, i.e. humble / nervous / adoring is when she is on screen with Toni. Id rather we had the slow build towards her becoming these things. Like acting a little more shy, dressed a bit more plainly. Then slowly but surely start growing and changing and Toni noticing these changes, before she gets a opportunity at the number one contendership because Toni is running late to work one day etc etc etc. I just feel like they've missed so many milestones in her evolution. Is it just me? Am I being unreasonable?
  16. I am all in for a Logan Paul world title win. He's been fantastic.
