We'll see how we all feel in sixth months when Malakai Black vs. His Own Literal Shadow is headlining Revolution 2022 and there are only two other matches on the entire card because Malakai Black needs 80 minutes to read from the Book of Black to explain to everyone that the shape of the ringpost padding is intended to remind us of pre-Christianity Babylonian fertility symbols, which have been linked to satanism in some parts of Europe.

But yeah, right now it owns bones.

gargano ciampa's whole thing very much started the loss of interest for me, which peaked (or cratered) precisely at the moment aleister black said 'i absolve you of your sins' and then I stopped watching takeovers bar the occasional kyle o reilly match

It's more or less the same for me. I thought the first Gargano vs. Ciampa match owned but everything after that was eeeeeh.

Takeovers in general got less and less interesting for me after that. I can't tell you which one the last one I saw was.

It's almost like letting the exceptionally talented scary satanist kickboxer just do his thing instead of dragging him down with dumb bullshit makes everything else he does a lot cooler by association :thunk:

I like the look of this Kaito Kiyomiya crepe, but they used too much raspberry sauce on it. Way too much. It's everywhere!

I still think the lore poo poo sucks tbh but if the on-screen result of it in a non-HHH/Vince company is "cool entrances", "killing scrub Cody", and "bringing in cool friends who also got fired", the pros outweigh the cons for now

Wait, if the Nasty Boys hazed Ken Shamrock then how are they still alive?

Well the first time it was because Sags ambushed Shamrock and nearly killed him and every other time they met when Ken got hot (once because Owen Hart was trying to wind him up, because Owen could honestly be kind of a dick) others separated them. Also Sags seemed to be at least vaguely embarrassed about it and never brought it up on his own and Knobs was black out drunk during the thing so didn't remember.

Gargano/Ciampa was the breaking point for me too. I didn't care for the matches (which everyone else raved about) and the feud went on way too long for my tastes

e: If it was possible for a match to have too much psychology it was that series.

I hadn't watched much WWE in four or five years. I got one of those super-cheap Network subscriptions and my brother recommended the Gargano/Ciampa feud, since a big TakeOver match between them was about to happen. I watched a handful of tag and singles matches with them. Then the TakeOver match happened and it felt like the exact same match as the previous match (not even a combination of several other matches) and I checked out on both of them, and the company as a whole.
I still think they should have given one of them the first CWC. Remember watching that and just thinking "Gosh, I sure hope this guy doesn't win" at TJP over and over, even before I knew his politics.

I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.



TJP is a poo poo person but I admittedly liked his Mega Man knockoff music in WWE

I love TJP existing, because he is the clearest possible example of that abstract thing in wrestling where someone can be exceptionally talented and do all kinds of cool poo poo and you can point at them and go "this dude sucks" and anyone who watches him for five minutes will totally get it.

Yeah okay, but I was at the events which ended up getting them blackballed from pretty much the entire UK and it's not like that was the first instance of them being homophobic as poo poo

I guess hence not giving them the time of day

Back in the early ROH days they didn’t stand out. You had Steve Corino talking about how the Christopher Street Connection had no place on ROH, for example. I’m not even gonna say we didn’t know better, because we did.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
