Didn't Konnan have some massive liver issues or something like that too?

And I can't believe no one is talking about JB going for a RAINMAKER against Kenny

imo that spot was done the opposite of how it should've been. Jungle Boy going for a ripcord, just for Kenny to nail him with the Raintrigger, a move he doesn't do a ton, but does decently often enough, is a cool spot but nothing ground breaking. If Kenny went for the Raintrigger and then Jungle Boy nailed him with a Rainmaker, that would've been insane.

My daughter said it was inappropriate, but she also wanted "Boom Boom" to win in the Omega/Jungle Boy match, so she's got some questionable opinions.

Can't believe you're quashing your daughter's dreams of Colt Cabana: AEW World Champion. Horrible parenting.

So I stumbled across this.

I wonder how long Christian has known Jungle Boy.

Shotzi's the one with the the little tonka tank playset thing that has horrific botches in every match, right?

Godspeed, Jericho.

lol he hosed up his arm and elbow because of it, i'd be pissed off too if little freaks from the fed were talking poo poo because some cardboard got shown on camera

Yeah I don't think it's being super sensitive to fling yourself off of a twenty foot drop to try and put someone over, suffer a legit injury in the process and then get a little annoyed when somebody who's supposed to be a colleague of yours treats it like a joke because the camera people didn't use a perfect angle.

for the record the Jericho spot was not bad at all and I feel similarly about people making GBS threads on it as I do people making GBS threads on the death match because the post match was bad when the match itself was amazing. I just think trying to blacklist people from the wrestling business for petty reasons is lovely and childish, but i'm not going to stop watching Jericho, who I don't care for, or Will Ospreay, whose work I enjoy for either reason.

Please, keep us up to date on your opinion on all of the spots and who you are and aren't going to watch.

So what's the timetable on Ricky Starks, cause he's obviously not taking bumps, but he's gettin' decently physical out there for a guy with a neck injury.

Who else has done a poison rana on Kenny to escape the OWA? I know it's a fairly common counter spot.

Did Tanahashi do it?

StarkRavingMad posted:

Just from a quick google of "poison rana one winged angel," Swann did, PAC did, Fenix did, Sydal did, and you were right that Tanahashi did

I'm sure there were others. I would have sworn that Naito did at some point, but search results indicate that I may be thinking of Naito doing that to Okada in some match instead

If someone does kick out of the OWA, it better be like, a coronation of that guy going forward. Hangman may be the only one that makes sense for it, and I'm not even sure if he does. As far as I know, Kota is still the only kick out ever on that move (not counting Okada getting his foot on the ropes as a true kick out)

I think you're thinking of the 2017 G1 final. Omega is on the top turnbuckle and he's trying to do a super power bomb to Naito, but Naito counters into this massive loving rana off the top and Omega loving flings himself all the way across the ring. It was incredible.

I can't even conceptualize the series of events it would take to get Charlotte in AEW but I can pretty clearly imagine her getting cut because she decided selling for Red Velvet was beneath her.

it's cool that the Blonds seem like a Pillman joint, he's been getting better in the ring and on the mic, but it's good to know he's got a brain for what works on TV

It is interesting that Pillman seems to be the driving force behind it creatively because you watch their matches and it's clear as day that AEW views Griff as the guy from that team and Pillman as, uh, not.

# ¿ Jun 28, 2021 22:32

MJeff: Jun 2, 2011; THE LIAR

I don't want to make this a big thing, when I watch Varsity Blondes matches, Griff gets all the big spots and Pillman gets the poo poo beaten out of him and eats the pin. I'm just trusting my eyes, here.

If someone is going to turn on Jungle Boy, should it be:

I almost feel like his feud with Mox was a misstep because it totally seems out of character for someone like Eddie to care more about a title belt than his FAMLEE.

That feud literally was about his family. Eddie's mother was a significant part of the undercurrent of that feud and his motivations. And Eddie has said, outright, the title is the one thing in the world that matters most to him, it's the most important thing in the world, he would sell out his friends and do ANYTHING to get it.

He took the belt, his literal family and his wrestling family and tied them all together into an arc that started at All Out and ended at Revolution, it all totally made sense for his character.

I'm probably gonna write an effortpost now about Kingston's arc in AEW because it's so loving great and that promo between him and Mox before Full Gear is one of the greatest things I've ever seen in a wrestling show, ever.

Anyway, this sums things up:

649 and a .21 ain't bad, kinda begs the question why they weren't on Saturdays at 8 this entire time.

It's really surprising to me the legs Eddie's speech has. He was saying "the wrestling we do is better than the wrestling they do." That's what you're supposed to say! Like, Taz calling them sloppy over Covid, I could see getting mad about, but this?

The reality is, Taz calling WWE a sloppy shop completely loving shattered a lot of Vincel brains and they've been stewing over it ever since he said it.

I seriously can't overstate to you how much Taz saying that and being 100% right to say it completely pissed them off.

I looked up the Saturday ratings to see where AEW landed and they were 9th for the night behind a bunch of sports stuff.

Also, My Hero Academia pulled a .15 and 325,000 viewers! And apparently there's a sequel to Inuyasha that did a .16!
