Sorry I'm a little late to the VPN talk but I have a Roku TV so it seems like I'm screwed since you can't use a VPN on those. Guess I'm still gonna be paying American dollars for the show?

You can set a VPN up on your router too, usually just by uploading a file with some other credentials in your router’s settings via web browser. Most VPNs have instructions on how to do this, some better than others. But then you can enable it at the router level, open the app on your Roku and start the video, then disable at the router again.

I’ve found on my android tv that sometimes Triller gets cached and doesn’t recognize I’ve changed regions, so I have to force quit it and reopen with the VPN on.

What really? I remember one time I tried that and the show wouldn't show up when I tried to load it on the TV but that was a while back and it may have been on BR Live or the old fite TV.

I never understand the hate. Queen Emi is cool and that Freddy Mercury gimmick was ages ago. Kinda worried about Yuka tho after that match spot. Emi tho has some nice hard moves and is more than reliable to work around whatever happens in the match. Really good veteran and a solid hand that will more than like never demand the title. She just shows up now and then to make other women look good. Again, no idea why some people seem to loudly hate her.

Seriously hope that Yuka is able to walk off that one nasty spot and not a bigger injury. She ate it fairly bad.
emi is fine imo but the "hate" started when people were like "she should have been on the wembley card" and other more rational people were like "what"

I mean… I get it kinda. We were all trolls when we were like 12-16 because it was funny and we were bored as hell. Just don’t see continuing that as an adult. I mean I can get behind trolling nazis or some right wing millionaire grifter because they are terrible and you are punching up at least. Trolling some fan of some wrestler you don’t like just feels… empty. Like I don’t even want to troll people who think Roman or Cody are the best or happens to believe McDonalds is the best food on earth. I disagree and, in wwe’s case, I find the company evil as hell and want it turned to ash but some fanboy? Even the obnoxious guys covering their walls in HHH merch and making podcasts about the fall of AEW all I can muster is a sigh. Even the big “Emi should be at Wembley” gang wasn’t THAT bad. Dunno. Maybe I’m weird.

Erin M. Fiasco posted:

I feel so bad for Yuka, she clearly hurt her leg on the botch but it's amazing that she finished the match and that Emi immediately knew how to work the crowd up and do some simple spots to get the crowd wanting to see Yuka kill her. Abrupt ending due to the injury and yet the last sequence was very very good. I really hope Yuka isn't too badly hurt because even with everything surrounding that match she reminded everyone that she's so good. Next level good in a way many others on the roster wish they could be.

Same. Good on them both for safely working past a bad situation.

Decent Rampage and Collision. Glad RVD gets a payday though he looked a little tired at the end. Still amazed guys in their late 40’s and up can look so good in AEW. Match was a little sloppy but still fun. Bucks and Okada was good as always but still consistently blown away at how effortlessly smooth PAC is. Just shocked and hope he gets some more gold. Dude deserves it as does all Death Triangle.

I’m tired of the Acclaimed. I don’t want to be but I am. I’m a big fan of sending wrestlers on excursions and Acclaimed going to Japan for a year may help everyone involved. I don’t hate them or anything but I want to see some kind of good trios reign for Bullet Club Gold.

Last note: Danielson is a freakin lunatic. Day before the Ospreay pape match and he still goes all out. We are blessed to have AEW and the best roster on the planet
Edit: want to note I’m not calling out any goons with Emi hate. You guys have been fairly kind compared to other places. Still think Goons are among the best peeps on this here interwebs

absolutely incredible promo. toni is at the top of her game right now, that mariah may is there to remind you how bland old toni was in comparison is just great happenstance.

really hate to hear that yuka may be hurt again :( i was mostly just confused and thought it was just a weird work for too long. emi definitely showing why she's on the roster, takes a vet to draw that much attention away just by vamping

also rly loved stat/willow/stokely's promo, womens div is cooking.

The Emi hate starts with Choco Pro which some people think is stupid or creepy. I personally just always thought it was sort of cringe.

The second layer is her fans are often very defensive and easy to rile up in a mildly amusing way.

The third is her fans being adamant she is on the Wembley show doing her Queen gimmick which was awful in my opinion and also Queen is lovely boomer music to many.

I no longer really know how I feel about Emi. I think in ring she’s overrated and has a bad look and gimmick, but I greatly enjoy watching people have extreme reactions to her positively or negatively. I think the best thing that could happen is she takes the AEW Women’s World Title off of Mercedes for maximum stan civil war.

I've never found a party I couldn't poop on so: can I ask why, when we have rules about discussing streams and such, we openly and happily help americans jump the barricades and pay less for the PPVs when we're meant to be all in on supporting the product? It's still a violation of whatever rules that watching a stream would be. I've always assumed the cheaper price of PPVs is to make up for the lack of desirability since the show is live in other countries at undesirable times.

I say Rampage but really that is because I caught it first. Danielson and Claudio vs Soup Boy and Fletcher was drat good should have gone last.

It was great. Stoke, Willow and Stat was good. I enjoyed the HoB promo even if it wasn’t mind blowing but I like spooky. Still hope the rumours about Malakai and Buddy turn out wrong as I like them in AEW and would miss them if they were gone tho the King and Hart are my faves. Brody barking never gets old and Julia is so good at <waves hands at everything wrestling>

Douchey EVPs that couldn’t manage a Target are my favourite Bucks in a long time. Their smug friend Okada needs to start hating on the AEW young talent tho. Can’t wait to see if the Scapegoat joins.

Hopefully I'll be able to watch Zero Hour as I have a Pathfinder game earlier in the day but I don't see it eating into the time. I must see the Bang Bang Gang win all the gold.

I predict we will see Hangman return and he will deliver a buckshot lariat or chain shot to Nana but will not be successful in preventing Swerve from winning the big one.

I loved the reactions to the HoB promo, Adam looking all serious like he’s trying to puzzle out the deeper meaning then they cut to Eddie just rolling his eyes “what is this bullshit”.

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

Yuka is an absolute monster to work through that injury, and Emi’s an absolute pro for working the crowd to give Yuka time to recover. I hope it’s a super minor injury because Yuka’s great and the crowd was going nuts for her by the end.

And echoing that Toni’s promo was amazing. Super fired up, a little bit crazy, and completely badass.
