I won't say the name because it's verboten, but the same person who said the Diamante/Swole match 3 strikes match sucked (when it didn't) is saying the same thing about the Britt/Abadon No-DQ match.

When Fish kicked out at 3.1 after Punk slowly crawled his way over to make the pin. *Verboten* thinks Fish was going into business for himself and of course, is accusing Meltzer of not reporting it.

I didn't think too much of Diamante/Swole but Abadon/Britt was very fun.

The worst thing about Dieno is that when he does other bits in his matches, it's clear that he can be a really funny dude with a great sense of comic timing
Dieno is also a really good mat wrestler and a genuinely funny guy who just leaned way too hard into his gay panic gimmick. I think his best work is as a host of DDT The Night, idk if America has many Japanese style comedians but it'd probably be closest to Penn Jillette

They certainly primed it to be a kickout with the slow cover, just looks like Fish didn't kick out in time

I fantasy book everything as a psychodrama but I think it was intentional, specifically it's building on the idea that Punk has lost a step. He was a sweating mess against Sydal and against Fish he barely won. He's being confronted with the idea that he's aged and he has to come to terms with that and maybe he'll start to take shortcuts to beat these talented young dudes because he needs to stay the Best in the World, rather than actually helping the talent get better.

lmfao what a stupid mark

e: punk wasn’t confused that he won, he was shocked and checking with the ref that he actually got 3 because it was so close, I’m tired of this Bobby Fish insanely tight 3.01 kickout erasure

It never fails to amuse me how people, from Cornette to Bischoff to Mark Madden to just some randos on Twitter, can look at a successful product like AEW and go "well here's how I would run it!" As though they desperately need the advice of guys who either ended up running their promotions into the ground, got booted out of their job booking a promotion, or who never even ran or booked a promotion in the first place.

I guess a promotion that has a two hour show that's all Lucha Underground soap opera stuff and pre-tapes leading up to an hour long show that's just matches before a four hour long quarterly pvp could be cool.

But it's such a convoluted way not to have much wrestling on a wrestling show and relies on the famous acting ability of wrestlers.

It’s more likely that it’s less “we want to see the baby” and more your typical case of “we want to see *whatever* specifically because it seems like the people who control access to *whatever* don’t want us to see it”.

Nobody in recorded human history has ever actually given a single gently caress about seeing pictures of a baby that they weren’t directly related to. Even when they are related it’s not that interesting.

have you ever seen a celebrity gossip site or magazine

grown people with cameras collect in violent swarms and assault each other in public to get pictures of famous peoples babies so they can sell the pictures because people want to see celebrity babies. crazy people are claiming jon and renee are faking their baby and the pictures are all of a prop baby and that they don't post them publicly because people would realize it's all a hoax.

Plus there are people who just target celebs in general too, whether it's because they're an obsessive stalker, or a creepy paparazzi wannabe, or whatever. If you're even moderately famous these days you're going to have some shithead trying to dig up things about you online (and even more so if you're attractive, because they'll also be hoping they can find some spicy nudes).

Remember when one of Hulk Hogan's brilliant ideas for how to make Impact an actual rival to WWE, was to tell that company's legion of obsessive fans "record yourself interacting with Impact wrestlers, no matter where they are, and send it in to us"? I can only imagine that got shut down after the lawyers pointed out just how many lawsuits they'd be facing from fans who got beaten up after accosting tired and grumpy wrestlers at airports, groping the Knockouts, etc.

Yeah and the reason they do that because the parents seemingly would rather not show off their babies (or, more likely, would rather get a fat cheque from some rag for the “exclusive” photo shoot and story). They want to be able to say “you didn’t want me to see that, but I SAW IT, so gently caress you!”

It’s the same poo poo, you can replace ‘baby’ with anything someone might not want the general public to see and it still works. The baby thing just seems to be the latest twist on all those mile long zoom lens photos of topless actresses on vacation or upskirts getting out of cars that were everywhere in the late 90s/early 00s.
