Its mad how more events don't do a comms style thing to allow you to listen along if you want. I don't think there would be a massive market for it, to be honest. Imagine being in a crowd of 80'000 people going batshit for The Acclaimed and thinking 'you know what would make this better? Hearing JR sulk.'

I think it would be good as an option, but yeah I agree. I'd much rather hear the person behind me sulking about how Fenix was better in CMLL or whatever and how they are keeping him down  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRooster Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 13 minutes ago, AndyUK said: Paul Wight teasing a Captain Insano appearance. Only thing he’s done so far with that character was with the Acclaimed, so I’m thinking he might be the one teaming with the Acclaimed to face House of Black. Firstly, what is Captain Insano (I hear it referenced a lot in relation to Wight), and does this character/gimmick have any sort of following? Secondly, if he appears anywhere, is it more likely it's the Stadium Stampede? Not even necessarily as a wrestler, but in a cameo role much as Konnan did previously. Given Anthony Ogogo's involvement in the promotions, implying that he will be performing, I'm wondering if he might be one the BCC mystery team members. He's obviously not without notoriety here, so maybe they think it would go over well; and it's not like he's an odd fit given that he's a former boxer. That said, I hope he's improved dramatically from his last appearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From The Waterboy. Which came out 25 years ago. How relevant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Version1.0 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Rey Fenix is out. Hopefully Vikingo replaces him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 3 hours ago, Bohan said: Standard practice for stadium events now days, all major football stadiums have the exact same bad policy in place. It had been in place in the states at all the NFL stadium for years prior and in recent years the same policy made its way over here. It's ok, I just don't out to stadiums or concert venues much anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoryT Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Ti be fair most of my friends would know Captain Insano and Big Show but wouldn't know the name Paul Wight. What exactly does he normally do at AEW? Agent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WrestleMania 9 vibes. A bloody-eyed CM Punk to valiantly take on MJF at Adam Cole’s request to close the show. I've never been to a pro-wrestling stadium show. For me, one of the big draws is nightfall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its mad how more events don't do a comms style thing to allow you to listen along if you want. Sorry for the double post but did anybody go to Insurrextion in...I want to say something like 2002? At Earl's Court (unrelated but I can't believe Earl's Court is still just sitting there derelict) Anyway, I could swear I remember them handing out headphones that you could plug into the seats and listen to the commentary. Although that was a long time ago, and so it's all a little hazy. Edited August 23, 2023 by 69MeDon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Supremo Posted August 23, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted August 23, 2023 Was it the WWA arena shows over here that had the commentary playing over the PA? Ah, good times. As if referees don’t struggle to retain credibility at the best of times. Those poor bastards had to not only look the other way when heels were cheating, but also pretend they were deaf and couldn’t hear Jeremy Borash’s booming voice, meticulously detailing exactly what was happening.

Oh what an experience those shows were. A strange mix of some really entertaining familiar talent and some right shit. But yes also the live commentary was the most bizarre experience. Fun in a really fucking weird way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
