STONE COLD 64 posted:i do hope she gets a chance coconono posted:Agreement. She got a raw deal out of ROH and has been doing every odd job out there to try and get back into TV wrestling again. She even has/had a podcast on Russo's podcast network, which was the only thing worth listening to. Also a babe. Thirding. I like her a bunch and she kind of got hosed by ROH. She's written a few children's books, I do kind of wonder if they're any good. They look cute and my niece has a second birthday coming up soon.

Zombie Lemur posted:I guess it shouldn't surprise me due to the general state of the world, but it's funny that they keep harping on "violence is chasing fans away" when it's demonstrably false. At least find something more subjective to be disingenuous about. What's that? Those were the most popular TV shows of the last decade? Well, nevertheless.

If stupid boring Christian gets the match with Kenny at All Out probe me for a month so I can laugh/cry at how lovely the Unprettier looks without posting my month-long disappointment

Nick Jr. Face posted:The question of "who knows how much longer we'll have live crowds this time around" has me concerned that we might end up rolling back to the small crowds at Daily's Place because of a handful of pieces of poo poo who still aren't taking the virus seriously enough to get vaccinated. Yeah I mean outside of my (admittedly maybe too much) umbrage towards anything about this, can you imagine AEW trying to stretch Kenny/Hangman out for 3 more months only to have to go back to Daily's Place before November. I mean, I know what's up with me. This is absolutely true. I can get way too emotionally invested and absorbed in any media I consume which means that sometimes I have difficulty looking at it objectively. If you want primo heeling The Elite is doing an amazing job of it. I just personally don't. Kinda sick of watching bad guys winning you know? Not in wrestling, just in general.

i would suggest watching something other than the one thing where bad guys absolutely must win at least 50% of the time if not more or else the whole system falls apart and becomes uninteresting

I think this is going to be the final coda on Hangman's character growth, and Kenny's going to flip his lid when he sees Hangman tearing poo poo up instead of getting discouraged and sulking away. This could be a misstep, but I think its going to feel like a solid step when the dust settles.

It would be funny and in character if Kenny DEMANDS a rematch with Hangman because this recent loss didn’t send Page into an alcohol-fueled depression spiral.

Seams posted:It would be funny and in character if Kenny DEMANDS a rematch with Hangman because this recent loss didn’t send Page into an alcohol-fueled depression spiral. It would be the actual, very good conclusion. Like Hangman on BTE/Dynamite is taking the loss relatively well (does the, "you've got to get back on that horse" metaphor and everything) and Kenny just loses his loving poo poo.

The quarters seem to indicate more that people tune out during the all-talk-no-wrestling block that Dynamite often has after their openers. The first hour's pacing is usually pretty talk-heavy, which is one of my very few regular complaints about the show overall. Keeping the pace consistent keeps viewers engaged throughout.

What the hell You've got to have a little bit of talking to help promote future matches, and because you have amazing talkers and it'd be a shame if you didn't use them, but if they could spread it out a little better that'd be good.

Totally, just shitposting. That quarter might’ve also gone differently if the PnP/FTR match had gone as planned instead of getting rushed to the end due to the injury. Who knows how long the match would’ve gone on, it felt like it never really got going properly.

I gotta be honest, I was having a hard time paying attention to it even before the injury because of its spot on the card. Following that 10-man tag and directly following the Tanahashi promo....not a great spot. Same thing with the First Dance announcement and the Hikuleo/Archer match. Just couldn't even pretend to actually be watching that match.

Now part of me is wondering if the elite winning was a change of direction because they’re no longer sure that they’re going to have fans at All Out and they absolutely must have that match be at a live show.

If you were given the prompt "Come up with six words Cody Rhodes has to say at the beginning of a promo before he suddenly gets kicked in the face," I think that "So much happening in our world..." might literally be the best possible answer. A beautiful perfect moment
