I really hope it wasn't Rosa egging him on but she can keep her spot in NWA forever if it was.

They didn’t tell that story on TV well, I dont watch the youtube shows or read Meltzer or reddit

EMF having a racist impression of Shida on live tv is a pretty different level of disrespect (a fireable one, hopefully) than not being pushed the way you want her to be.

Playin the beta of Elite GM and goddamn this game loves Kris Statlander and Miro. Justifiably so, but both are running through people like Goldberg in my game.

Legitimately one of the best times I’ve ever had watching a PPV. Aside from the Cody match, every single match was a loving banger. And even that Cody match showed that Ogogo can loving go and has a ton of potential.

They never would have because of Memorial Day but they really should've called an audible and put Ogogo over in hindsight. They could make that man in one minute if the crowd had reacted like they did to Kenny winning.

Even though this had less content on the field and no horse, I actually liked this version of the stampede better. It felt like the perfect bridge between the cinematic era and the return to crowds both symbolically and practically and generally felt more focused on its aim to make Sammy the hero.

The worst thing was the prop pigs, which I will never understand AEW's insistence on putting a hat on a hat, but that's pretty minor.

A LOT of young talent on display last night, it was good to see. I'm wondering what angle Team Taz is gonna take. I'm feeling like maybe a face turn for Cage?

I think a face turn is coming for him and possibly a program with Miro.

I do wonder what happens with Archer and Christian though - both seem a little directionless at this point.

BigBallChunkyTime posted:

Yeah I think Archer was the wrong guy to feed to Miro at this time. I think it hurt his character. He's lost every feud hes been in and can't win the big one.

Same, they need to do something with him - either ditching Jake or inserting him into another story or something like that. It feels like he should be part of the storyline with Sting somehow since he was the catalyst for Archer's face turn.

Forceholy posted:

Aside from a rematch, who the hell does Britt feud with? Do they build up Swole or Kris or something?

They can go back to Rosa, Kris like you say, Tay, and work on building Leyla, Swole, even Kilynn. It might be time to consider a turn for Nyla too. Lots of options there.

e: you could even have her do a short program with Deonna, who's the Impact champ.

If they're fixing to end the Pinnacle/Inner Circle feud, the IC would be a great group to feud with the Elite, because they've got the numbers to compete, plus, they're also practised in the art of the numbers game. Imagine Proud and Powerful taking the titles off the Bucks.

Agreed, I think this is the way to go and PnP absolutely need to be the next champs. I am ok with having FTR in there, maybe run a triple threat at some point, but it's long past time to strap up Santana and Ortiz.

Oh, my entire house died laughing for a solid 3 minutes when Jericho used a megaphone as a “weapon “ by yelling in to it vs MJF. I’m sure that’d been done many times before blah blah but it was hilarious

I don't actually think I've ever seen the megaphone used that way. Even Jimmy Hart used to just hit people with it IIRC.

Just looked this up and it makes me like Leyla even more. She really cranked that poo poo in and wasn't taking any nonsense from Shanna at all.

Yeah that's the vibe I get too, which again makes perfect sense and is fine, I just don't know where to slot in Mox when he comes back!

Unlike WWE the AEW landscape is constantly changing so rankings and even the roster could be completely different by the time Mox returns, assuming he's taking at least a month or two. The last crop of WWE releases are able to compete around mid July so there's lots of potential opponents there like the handicap match against the Iconics we've all been hoping they can make happen.

the draw for Dark is the funny commentary and the odd banger of a match.

Elevation is Thunder-level angles and Taul Paul getting fed lines by an exhausted Excalibur.

For me the draw of Dark is going back to old ones and seeing how many of the wrestlers have done well on the main roster in the intervening months/year. It's a little like going to an indie show and seeing a guy that you know will be a star in a few years, or seeing a musical act in a small club and then seeing them in a stadium years later.

It's basically the appeal that early NXT had for me, but somewhat more organic. But also the commentary is delightful and the matches are good like you say.

She has her own practice and practices there. She is very passionate about it. (At least in an interview it sounded like she had her own practice now, but she's definitely active, it's not just something she does for passive income.)

Didn't she say, possibly in that same interview, that she provides dental services to a number of people in the PC?
