Do not look up Moxley v Omega deathmatch. That was... a whole different thing we all would prefer not to remember.

It’s such a shame that had the ending it did bc the match itself beforehand is actually really really good

Counter Argument, also watch the exploding barbed wire match because it's a really good match that ends with a really funny ending because the whole exploding thing didn't really work right. It's some carnie poo poo and is the other great part of wrestling, things can go wildly wrong in funny ways

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

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.

AEW has some great wrestling and you should definitely check it out if you haven't watched for a while. You have nothing to lose. I am going to say maybe don't feel bad if you don't like the stories because they aren't everyone's cup of tea but there is nothing you can say about the quality of work.

There are some things you can say about the work. But a lot of that is a criticism of US TV wrestling in general. Like ad breaks in the middle of matches, I will never not hate that.

When this show was stories of teenage/child Rock it was okayish, but once they got to his WWE career it went to hell. Every screen cap I see looks like it’s from a WWE themed porno movie.

Yes we have!

I was 14 (I think) but I’m still salty decades later about Vince appearing on screen as :smug: personified after Flair and Sting. Then decades of fishing through the early internet for dvds of Japanese wrestling and indie promotions because Vince did his best to kill wrestling in North America. Saudi buying wwe and letting Vince burn it all down is funny but not as wholesomely amusing as cocaine fuelled super goon Tony Khan buying wwe, freeing up the tale library and letting Jeff Jarrett run wwe proper. Also bring back The Bisch for at least that first episode.


Dude spent DECADES kissing rear end, plotting like Littlefinger and marrying into the family just to get demoted TWICE! I wonder if Wal-Mart needs a 3rd shift assistant manager?

*Including his side project losing badly to the new startup competition

If there's really one takeaway to have from this whole years-long saga, it's that HHH is a loving loser who gets humiliated at every real chance he gets at the spotlight, to the point it has to make the people who ever genuinely wanted it question why they did/what they thought they saw in him
