ShallNoiseUpon posted:Beyond Wrestling used to run in a bar with a giant brick wall on one side and I thought that, in addition to the very close and intimate feeling of everyone standing right next to the ring was pretty cool. The wall even came into play at least once: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpBca70LMSI How the gently caress was that not the finish to the match? I mean, seriously, absurd spots like that just scream out "Ya ain't gettin' up from this one."

TriffTshngo posted:Pro Scoopsgal Rarity actually did a big writeup of every NXT callup since the debut of The Shield a few months ago. Despite the early ones being about a 50/50 ratio of Successes to Failures that's mostly going by everything they'd done up to 2019, back in 2014-15 a lot of those "Fails" were either considered successful or undetermined/somewhere in the middle. You can pretty easily spot the exact moment the quality of booking callups dropped off a cliff. Semi-related, that's about when I stopped watching WWE TV for good. Out of that list, how many are actual Performance Center trainees without previous or even extensive wrestling elsewhere? Roman and Corbin? And Roman is of course born to wrestling so he's been steeped in it since birth, so that basically leaves Corbin. Baron Corbin is about the only true, purely WWE PC original with any meaningful main roster success.

He kinda would get looped in with the Roman "scion of a wrestling family" category if we really want to call him a true main roster "success". (I wish I could, but I don't.)

Breitbart Is Rightbart posted:Okay so when do people think NXT become bad? I went to my first NXT show in 2015 where Balor def Sami and Baron Corbin. I didn't start following NXT properly untill Shinsuke debut and Almas/ Ciampa/Black/Gargano/ had their run at the top. Apparently people didn't like NXT from 2018 onwards? NXT has always been good for me until it moved to counter AEW. When Ciampa/Gargano went longer than the first match with Ciampa's flat back splutting onto the bare concrete. And then Adam Cole and the UE, at all. Don't care about any of them.

Custard Undies posted:I haven't really watched any wrestling in several years outside of the Rumble and Mania so I may have missed it if it happened but when was the last time a company did a match in a super market or fun park (think that crash holly hardcore match) or something fun like that. Look up just about any Matt Hardy match from the "Broken Universe" or originating from "the Hardy Compound". He's really responsible for the return of "cinematic" matches over the last decade or so.

Same parent company, TBS is available in slightly more homes (like 1 million more, something like 89 vs 90 so very slight difference) and it was the original broadcast home for WCW. But TBS only has playoff baseball so there will be much less sports preemptions for Dynamite on TBS while TNT has both the NBA and NHL.

Penguin Patrol posted:During AEW's first Stadium Stampede match, a portion of the match with Matt Hardy vs Santana & Ortiz had a pool involved. There was also a pool around during the Jericho Cruise episode of Dynamite when MJF got thrown into it. No full match though. That's not really doing the insanity of the Stadium Stampede match justice. Matt Hardy kept changing gimmicks every time he got dunked, so Total Deletion, Matt Hardy v1, Big Money Matt Hardy, and a few others all showed up at least briefly.

sticklefifer posted:The Acclaimed would come out and spread their first two fingers pointing downward in an A shape. Around the time the raps started getting more controversial, they started pushing the A's together because they're dirty boys. Then their match intro shtick got longer on the ramp so Bowens started calling for Max to "scissor me" instead of just doing it as a signature hand gesture in the ring. Billy Gunn was at one time in WWE known as Badass Billy Gunn and then Mr. rear end Billy Gunn. Danhausen took this as his name literally being Billy rear end, and thus his sons were the rear end Boys.

There's their Dark and Dark: Elevation shows on YouTube, and then the main show is Dynamite at 8 PM Eastern Wednesday nights on TBS, and the 1-hour Rampage is on Friday nights at 10 PM Eastern on TNT. Jade Cargill, their Women's TBS Champion (basically, the midcard belt) has gone through now two male valet/managers, her "lawyer" Smart Mark Sterling now being replaced by her "agent" Stokely Hathaway. Also Kip Sabian and his wife Penelope Ford act as each other's valets... or at least they did before she got injured and he started showing up for every show wearing a box over his head. We still don't know why.

BodyMassageMachine posted:Those first two years or so of NXT Takeovers (2014/15ish) were a breath of fresh air for North American wrestling shows since they were focused, concise, and highlighted some great rising stars (Sami, KO, Neville, the Four Horsewomen, etc.). There were certainly some duds amongst the shows (The Ascension’s big push, Adam Rose, Hideo Itami’s debut, Baron Corbin v. Bull Dempsey), but there was a lot of good there too. NXT TakeOvers went down a tier after Toronto, and then dropped down another tier or two more after New Orleans (the first Gargano-Ciampa match). That first Gargano-Ciampa match was great, and that drat back bump Ciampa took onto the bare concrete will just live in my head forever. But yes, the AEW PPVs are better overall than TakeOvers, and the best AEW PPVs (looking at you, Revolution 2020) are better than the best TakeOvers.

Lurks With Wolves posted:He's currently out due to a back injury. Before that, he was in an odd couple tag team with Matt Riddle. If the rumors are right, that tag team was supposed to break up a year ago but Orton fought to keep them together because he was so happy to be something besides The Viper (he hears voices in his head, they talk to him, he understands, they talk to him) for once. He may be done altogether due to that back injury. Or at the very least the RKO may become a PPV/PLE only finisher for him.

Apparently there is a hard roster split in AEW... but only for folks who are also married to wrestlers in WWE. Since the WWE schedule runs Thursday through Tuesday (with travel days) and AEW ran Tuesday through Thursday before Collision, if someone was in a "mixed marriage" like Malakai Black (married to WWE's Zelina Vega) they would basically never get to be home at the same time as their spouse. Now anyone with a spouse on the Thursday to Tuesday WWE grind can be at home at least three days a week with their significant other.

Cutler has some sort of title which may or may not be "makes BTE" so I didn't count him because it might be a PR position like Uno, Tony, Cole, etc have with various AEW Podcasts/Games/Outreach Alex is also part of the Spanish commentary team, as well as emergency fill-in for podcasts. Note that he's not actually a wrestler for the "Spanish Announce Project" faction, however. That's Serpentico and Angelico, and I guess Luther is still there, too.

Beer_Suitcase posted:This is how lots of wrestling works. It's lil talk beforehand. Some folks like to work out every single move, other times you just work out the opening and the finish n make up the middle. There are also instances where you don't get to talk before hand at all and you have to do it on the fly. One of the best matches of the 2010s, Shinsuke Nakamura's debut in NXT against Sami Zayn, was apparently entirely called in the ring, no rehearsals or pre-planning. They had never even wrestled against one another before, either.

Sami Zayn vs Shinsuke Nakamura, NXT Takeover Dallas. If the non-fan gets into it, then you can talk about how these two guys never wrestled each other before, and didn't even really talk about things beforehand. Just called it all in the ring.
