I thought Jack was really starting to come into his own as a heel before the whole Punk incident happened.

Needed better music, though.

I did too. It’s always funny how many people blame jack for punks actions. Like punks Mr suck it up let’s use this to make money, but can’t ignore a comment on the pre show that no one other than internet fans would understand.

He was over with kids I guess.

i'm not sure that he was tbh. kids like wrestlers that are cool (darby, sting, oc) or funny (danhausen). remember in the 4 pillars feud, his beef with darby was that darby was popular with kids but would the kids like darby if they knew he was surly and quiet back stage???? (answer: i think maybe the kids who like the brooding gothy skeleton boy would like that, yes.)

So I remembered that Hager/jericho promo about Jericho having his life saved in the UAE

I was under the impression that Hager like did something or fought off a guy or put a dude in the ankle lock

But apparently,

quote:

Hager would step in though, saying, “Don't do it man. This is the wild west. They will kill you here. They'll f*cking string you up, they'll hang you.” Jericho took a step back and the situation deescalated.



That’s it?

That was the big saving Jericho’s life moment? Saying “yo chill”?

MJF is great but his last run showed he has a long way to go but he will get there. Darby is a star and has been tremendous since day 1. The other two I think are toast.

I mean he's 26, he's the youngest one, he's going to be even more awesome once he starts getting into the promo groove and right now he's definitely getting better in NJPW.

Darby's 31

Max is 28

Between the lovely releases and hiring Ric Flair it's been a bad time for expecting this company to be any better than WWE. I guess there's no sex trafficking at least.

I think a better way of framing it would be:

AEW is just another company. It does not, however, have a history of systemic abuse and trafficking. We're sorry we even have to add that latter statement, but that's the world we live in.

You must build the Shard Ark, and bring two of every poster.

How long do you think Joe holds the title? Swerve is awesome a top 5 guy for me but also, Joe deserves a monster run on top like a year.

It’s genuinely cool to see Samoan champs on top in both major companies. The Samoan wrestling legacy would make a fantastic book.
