I do find all of the "well it's in a stadium so it's not going to be as loud" stuff ridiculous when stadiums like the MCG in Melbourne or Optus Stadium in Perth are incredibly loud and rowdy for football matches and you can hear that poo poo from a decent way away. Any modern stadiums are designed to have good acoustics so it always sounds hot.

He must be referring to HHH taking veiled shots at Okada and Osprey for not wanting be tough enough to make it AEW because they don't have that grind mindset. Or maybe Punk asking Miz if he is gonna get attendance numbers tattooed on him in reference to Will Osprey getting the attendance for the most paid wrestling fans attending a show in history tattooed on himself. Couldn't be anything else surely.

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



But... he doesn't remember when wrestling didn't have dirtsheets. The Observer started publication before he was born and the Observer wasn't the first newsletter.

Bullet Club, one of the more successfull factions for New Japan was 100% not created nor never had any controversy at all. And Gedo sure doesn't like to watch any Memphis for booking ideas either!

Ring psychology is a made up term made up by wrestlers who wanna act like they know what real pro wrestling is.

A match has psychology "when I like it" versus not having it and being dumb crap for stupid babies "when I don't."

psychology is when the match makes sense. Like the ref calling rope breaks in a falls count anywhere match or the wrestlers not knowing the rules of the match. If you can pass that bar your match has perfect psychology.

Jack Perry loving owns gently caress haters. He and Luchasaurus were over as gently caress and Jack was great in his feud with Christian. And his cage match against Luchasaurus was fantastic

The heel turn was pure poo poo but at least they tried, and he got Punk fired as a result so it's all good to me

And now he's in NJPW doing awesome poo poo and getting even better so I really hope the Bucks bring him back and add him to the Elite. They'll bury Punk and piss him off and make Jack an even bigger star and we get to see him wrestle in AEW again

It's unclear if he is even a fan club, but definitely is not a wrestler or former wrestler.

I was not expecting to be looking forward to the elite being made up of Okada, the Bucks and Jungle Boy

And yet I am hopeful that will be done well
