when RAW goes to Netflix, is anyone even going to give a poo poo about TV ratings? i'd like to know the streaming numbers for AEW internationally each week cause that seems to be way more important

I'd love to know the fite numbers specifically.

Nothing sensational, just a Kenny update:

Meltzer posted:

While no decision has been made, it looks more likely than not that Kenny Omega will be getting surgery on his intestines. He’s had his ups and downs but has largely been dealing with a good amount of pain for months now. He said surgery is becoming more and more likely as two different doctors have told him they think it’s the best option. It’s not 100 percent that he will have surgery but it’s looking more likely, particularly if he wants to get into condition to resume his career that he will probably have to get rid of the perforated sections of his intestine and colon. There is an obvious plan if and when he returns to come back into a feud with Kazuchika Okada, and because of the legendary status of those matches, that becomes a situation where he’s going to want and need to get into top shape. We keep going back to Davey Boy Smith Jr. and Brock Lesnar, who both returned at a high level and both of their situations were very bad as well, but Omega’s situation was legitimately life threatening.

No All In this year, I imagine.

though surgery objectively seems like the best option from the information we have, I can understand why Kenny would be reticent to go that route

the company is at its peak right now in terms of match quality and sheer depth of roster and he likely can't help but feel that he'll be left behind/forgotten about while he recovers

:yeshaha:
Maybe what happened is that during the hospital stay, maybe his inflammation had gone down enough that it wasn't life threatening and they gave him antibiotics to see if his gut responds well and starts healing on its own that surgery could be avoided, he's been streaming and has done stuff for square enix in the past month


That might be it and now they did another check up and saw that it isn't healing and he does need the surgery.
I never had this happened to anyone around me so I can't even try to use anecdotal evidence

All I know for sure is that I want Kenny to be healthy:ohdear:

Meltzer sayin Kenny will need surgery pretty much confirms he will not need surgery.

I will say having Mercedes just do nothing since debuting has been a bad choice, her promos are not great and she’s just been sitting there. I almost wonder if she’s not cleared fully and is biding time because otherwise there’s no reason to not have her wrestle like Red Velvet

Not only does Kenny need surgery but they’re going to take his entire digestive system out of his body and put it back in, per Meltzer

Callis Family is literally a faction of awesome future stars who badly need to be rebranded as the USA wing of United Empire, they all fit into the schema of it anyway so just get Callis to gently caress off and make Ospreay the leader. Hobbs career has unfortunately been a story of being shuttled from faction to faction but being the right hand man for Ospreay would probably be the most beneficial pairing in his career.

Does wrestling CAUSE diverticulitis? I don't know a drat thing about it but it doesn't seem like the kind of thing taking worked shots to the midsection is likely to cause

Bad nutrition, anti-inflammatory meds, and (in Brock's case, at least) steroids, maybe

steroids can absolutely be a cause but the physicality of wrestling itself is not

imagine waking up one day and you have a bunch of blisters on your arm for no discernable reason. it's basically that but in your intestines and the blisters are very angry

You just get it. It's very much a genetic/it just happens problem. As you age weak spots in your colons outer wall can form and the inner wall will push through and from a small pocket. Those pockets are diverticulosis and food and bacteria can then get trapped in those pockets and cause infections which is diverticulitis. Diet can make it worse but doesn't really cause the pockets to form. The wrong food can absolutely kick off diverticulitis, popcorn is a big no no because of the kernels potentially getting trapped.

Her commentary sucked real bad, so far I haven’t seen or heard anything to convince me I’m wrong about her not being this crazy great signing everyone insists that she is.

it was thought of as a great signing because she has one of the top 2 or 3 biggest personal fanbases of all women in wrestling and is one of the better wrestlers in the division. it's a terrible signing if she was brought in to be on commentary but no one could have reasonably expected that

I thought her commentary was basically 90% of wrestlers on commentary except she marked out for the DVD on the apron which was really cool.

Hope she continues to heal and is good after it, friend

I am willing to personally at the very least wait to see a Mercedes match in 2024 to decide whether she is washed or not

In fact, while edge’s early matches were perfectly fine, I don’t think he started really cooking again until the I quit match

Maybe she’s still knocking the rust off, and is still practicing with willow or something backstage

Timeless Toni is not "90% of wrestlers on commentary" and in fact is better than 90% of them.

I really dig how four or five women right now are all in contention for the tbs title and it is being treated like any of them could wind up with the belt at any time but Julia is the best so far

Even sky blue who has developed to the point that while I do not want her to win the belt yet, I want her to get a solid run at vying for it and turning on Julia ghoulia at some point

I would like this to be the state for nearly all the titles, except maybe tags and trios

I want a group of like four or five people to be trying to jockey for the shot at a given champion, and all feel like they are either legit contenders or at least interesting ones who might figure out a way to steal the win

That is my ideal state of title contention booking, a pool of contenders who try to get the shot or get the champ’s attention or force the issue, then sometimes it is a multi man thing or a one on one, and then grudges are typically held aside from title booking until they aren’t

I personally dislike the “one dominant champ/champ team vs so-and-so, they beat so-and-so, next person in contention walks out and poses” method that has been more common
