Still very much like AEW. Disappointed in the DoN card but I'm already in Vegas for the Sphere so I might as well. But thinking about how we got from loving to liking AEW, the real downturn started when Tony started running ROH in tandem with AEW. It's just way too much for one man to handle. Add on another two hour show and losing guys to injury/brawls and he feels like he is just winging it lately. But it's kind of hard to gently caress up with all this talent when all you have to do is have them go out and wrestle. Plus it's not like wrestling doesn't ebb and flow naturally.

The WBD/NBA stuff is really giving me pause though. Zaslav is a loving moron and cable is obviously dying. I feel like AEW is gonna come out fine but there is that 5-10% chance poo poo goes south that I can't deny. If they have to spend 3 billion on C level NBA games where does that leave us.

they should have run DoN in the sphere.

The sad decline of AEW is quite similar to Universal just degrading into cart rides with a screen next to them. A boring train bobs up and down as MJF kangaroo kicks you in 3D.

i was at a wedding when news that fat phil had been fired dropped and i spent like 90% of the day on the periphery of the grounds, hunched over, hooting, hollering and posting

The closest comparison I can make to the absolute fever of posting around Phil being Phil would be that I was at a minor league baseball game when people who used to work on the Barkley Shut Up and Jam Gaiden sequel all came out of the woodwork to say definitively that the project had been dead for years and was currently in the hands of a no talent grifter. Just shots flying everywhere, shitposts overtaking even the most stoic of true believers.

That's right, I'm saying CM Punk is the Barkley Shut Up and Jam Gaiden 2 of wrestling.

You can barely tell what’s going on because it’s just a clusterfuck of nonsense, and the AR view in the little headset they make you wear for the gimmick is absolutely tiny so it’s very obvious that you’re in a little buggy moving very slowly around a warehouse.

Extremely glad I wasn’t one of the suckers who queued up for 2 hours for that poo poo I’m one of the suckers who paid a bunch of money for express passes instead, but at least I didn’t have to stand in lines all day

I gotta say something now that I've done Disney and Six Flags.

So Universal if you stay at one of their hotels or pay them a bunch extra money gives you the express pass which is just a priority line that usually but not always means you'll just walk right onto the ride. Cool. Great. Simple. Wonderful.

Six Flags and Disney meanwhile do this poo poo where you gotta go into the app and make a reservation then come back to the ride when it's time for that reservation and also for Disney you can only use it once per ride per day and some rides you can't use Genie+ you have to buy an "Individual Lightning Lane" and what the gently caress, man, I just wanna ride the loving coasters without standing in line not do a loving risk analysis dissertation.

Six Flags wound up being fine although there being three separate tiers of Flash Pass is ridiculous and the highest one is absurdly expensive. But Genie+ is a giant pain in the rear end. It really made me miss the express pass.

I would never ever go to a theme park that didn’t have a skip all the fuckin lines option because gently caress that.

I haven’t been to a Disney park since they monetised the absolute poo poo out of the fast pass system though and I likely never will again because I’m not really in it to get nickel and dimed to death either.

I like the express pass system just being straight-up “pay us this much money and you can have a schedule for X rides from this menu of options” but it’s obviously not as good (by virtue of costing money) as the OG Disney fast pass poo poo where you just went to the little machine for absolutely free and got a little ticket to gently caress off and come back a couple of hours later. Even though you could only have one at a time iirc it meant you could fit a whole extra ride in every couple of hours for nothing, sick.

I just stick to mom and pop regional theme parks these days and have a great time. Disney? No thanks, I'm at Canobie Lake.

Hell the rides at anything bigger than a six flags suck now anyways. Oh wow another 5 mph trackless dark room where I stare at lcd screens.
