If I didn't know better I would think that Sting taking alot of bumps from two younger guys is because they were telling a story about a 64 year old man over coming adversity in order to win one last match for his fans before retirement, then I remembered AEW doesn't tell stories.

thinking really hard about why the heels didn't do any cool moves during the match. probably because they're actually bad people irl

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


If the Bucks had taken spectacular bumps these idiots would be accusing them of showboating.

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.

If you don't care about wrestling you just don't love the business enough. But if you care too much it's fake bullshit and you're a mark.

"I would sue" I guaran-drat-tee that there is some unread fine print on your Ticketmaster™ purchase about how All Elite Wrestling, the Greensboro Coliseum Complex, Ticketmaster and God Almighty Himself are not responsible for anything that happens to you once you enter the arena, up to and including projectiles hitting you after a man jumped 15 feet off of a ladder into a pane of glass.

(I'm guessing the cameras didn't catch it, but from my seat I saw staff rush over to check in with the front row corner audience immediately after the spectacular shower from Sting's glass bump.)

When I've been to AEW shows there's a long diatribe that's read out loud and on the screen about AEW not taking responsibility if you get hit with a flying wrestler or whatever.

The court case is just AEW's lawyer calling in nerd after nerd to prove that the average wrestling fan wants to be sprayed with glass and actually this can be reasonably expected with purchase. You can't sue for enhanced value out of the ticket

At the GCW show I went to, the pop of the night went to someone (I think it was Janela?) slightly overshooting a dive and landing on a popular local fan. Whole crowd chanted his name, it was hilarious.

Komander kicked a dude in the head doing a rana to the outside at a GCW show I was at and he was bleeding furiously from his brow and got escorted out mid-match and never came back

The better the AEW show, the more insane the online takes get. But "HHH carried Sting to a good match at Mania and was right to win" is proof positive that Revolution is one of AEW's best papes ever.

The people two rows in front of us at a CZW show got glass in their laps and it was the coolest thing ever. The match featured SPECIAL REFEREE KEVIN SULLIVAN who would sweep up the ring with a dustpan and broom with his back to the wrestlers while the heel bashed the face with light tubes. Simple and effective and the funniest thing I’ve seen in a match.

Command and control are the same thing, replace one with velocity

I think it’s supposed to be control is throwing in the strike zone and command is locating pitches where you want them. You can have control but if you throw everything down the heart of the plate you don’t have command of the strike zone. Or something.

the entire concept of a pin makes no sense in a combat sport where strikes are legal and you can win by knockout. any time someone hits their move they should immediately start punching their defenseless opponent in the back of the head

its how you justify to yourself watching 20+ years of WWE main events where a guy hits a basic wrestling move and then both guys lay on the mat for several minutes when they're only 5 minutes into the match
