Was cutler trying to not crease his sneakers? That run is so over the top goofy it doesn’t seem “intentional” in the sense of running like a huge dork for laughs.

I think he just knows the role that he plays in the Elite. He’s a gigantic gangly doofus who sprays cold juice at people, of course he’s gonna run like Waluigi.

It's like goldy or bronzy, but made of iron.


There's a bit of WWE poisoning that I think makes people very wary of the stooge role in wrestling. Glad to see Cutler and Nakazawa (and to an extent Rebel) bringing it back.

Knowing what we know about AEW and both of the acclaimed they almost certainly cleared it with her and it's almost certainly leading to her humiliating them for it. This is more WWE brain because thanks to poo poo like Piggie James we all assume that the entire point is to embarrass Julia and she'll end up never getting her heat back, but I don't think that's what's happening.

For those at Austin last week, what time did y'all get out after the Dark Elevation taping? Trying to figure out if we'll be able to stay for the whole taping since we've got a near hour drive home.

I think they taped like 90 minutes after Dynamite went off the air? Or at least it felt like it was that long, it was a long night for sure. We didn't get home until around 11:45 and we're a 20 minute drive from the arena.

OOF that may be a bit much. We can do an hour but anything longer than that might be pushing it. Oh well we'll see how much they tape!

Not quite, you don't book finishes to matches, it's done by the stats of the individual wrestlers you sign and book into matches.

The game rates the cards you put together so presumably it’ll be a head to head “who books a better card according to the inscrutable black box judge that lives inside the game”.

If it’s anything like the beta the trick is to book multi man matches filled with cheap jobbers because it pops huge points, since it’s apparently so basic that you can just stack a ton of low stat people together to make highly rated matches instead of having to wrangle the RNG wins and losses to build up two individual guys over time for a singles match to get the same kind of rating.

I think the idea is each streamer is paired with an AEW talent as like a coach or something. So it's Jawny and Chuckie as a team, not opponents.

quote:

One of the biggest stars of wrestling in this century could be headed back to wrestling, if all goes well. CM Punk has been in ongoing talks for a return, sources tell Fightful.

Fightful Select learned last week that CM Punk has been in talks to make a return to pro wrestling as an in-ring performer, with sources indicating that AEW is the most likely landing point. We have no confirmation of a contract officially being signed, a timetable, a set return date, or any creative plans, only that Punk and a company official have had ongoing conversations about an in-ring return.

As with any negotiations, nothing is ever fully confirmed until the deal is actually done and the subject appears on screen.

We have heard of other companies having interest in Punk coming in to work after fans returned, but have not heard of any specific offers or overtures made towards him.

Fightful has not officially confirmed this report with CM Punk himself or All Elite Wrestling officials. We have been told in recent days that higher ups in WWE believe that Punk is headed to AEW.

Punk last wrestled in January 2014 for WWE, and was released later that year. In the years that followed, he pursued a career in mixed martial arts in the UFC, where he officially has an 0-1 record with 1 no contest.

In addition to MMA, Punk has worked in commentary roles within the sport, and made his way into acting. He also appeared on WWE Backstage for approximately six months. Aside from his appearances on Backstage, he's only made two appearances in wrestling since leaving WWE -- both in very anonymous masked roles on the independent circuit.

If any one of the Deadlock boys wins they're probably gonna book Chuck Taylor vs Stu Grayson in a "Who Does JR Hate the Most" match, which turns into a tag team match when Luther and Colten Gunn do a run-in and ends in a DQ when Sting repels from the rafters to take a poo poo and Anthony Ogogo walks out and punches him in the dick.

Elite GM is alright, but I lost motivation to play with the in-game currency. I'm basically stuck in a cycle of booking shows with folks fighting multiple times a night, not enough money to hire a bigger roster (when i save up enough for someone, someone else's contract expires); i'd basically always be making as much as i'm spending, so very rarely would I get to book an actual gimmick match. Maybe pvp mode is better, but I only care for booking my version of AEW and seeing Luther become the most dominant champ of all time.

It does have fun, though. Like setting up a whole night of trials for Kenny Omega that would end on a title defense 1v1 with Penta... only for Kip to win the very first match and take the belt.
