Just gonna reiterate my point in the gdt that was a really great show that I really enjoyed. I know not everyone liked it but I just can't understand why unless you are already predisposed to not liking aew. It had good matches, fun drama, real life stuff woven into ongoing storyline. And when folks say oh man it was so embarassing all I can think back to is poo poo like Vince having Trish bark like a dog and being like man some folks' baseline is out of wack. It's wrestling, if the worst thing on your show is you think some footage was a little boring, let me tell you it can get a lot worse!

Delusional people on Twitter being like "it shows he told the exact truth!"

Uhh, he said he "only choked him a little" and that's not what happened at all

don't even worry about it - literally the only fans left of Punk are the most cult like. It's just not worth your time. But you know what is worth your time? Being reminded of this:

It’s a shame all this centers, in AEW at least around a weird little guy who can’t promo and looks like a goof, used to be friends with a Dinosaur. I wish Punk had attacked someone cooler!

Why are we pearl clutching about this move again?

a lot of times, as fans get older, the moves that are sick and cool make us worry. It's because as we age, we overly worry about these guys getting hurt.

But I wouldn't worry about Okada. He's the best, I'm sure he's protecting people as much as possible during his stuff while also making it look like murder.

The funniest part about the tape was Hook lurking nearby giving no shits at all, and then finally being like "Better make sure my FTW belt doesn't get hurt"

Jon Moxley posted:

Jon Moxley on his worth in the wrestling business and his critics:

“Even if I win [the IWGP World title], it’s not going to matter. I’ll be the most overlooked, disrespected, forgotten about, taken for granted wrestler in the history of this business. It’s not gonna matter. But it means something to me.

It's been over 10 years now of people trying to put me in a box and tell me who and what I am, and what I can and can't accomplish. Tell me what my limits are. All these years later, I'm still breaking records. I'm still doing the impossible.

5 years ago, I was pronounced DOA.. dead before I even walked through the doors of NJPW. I just keep continuing to subvert expectations.”

so, what was with that weird zooming going on with Mercede's promo? Like, it would zoom on her face, she'd say a line, it would zoom tighter, she'd say a line, etc, until it just zoomed all the way back out to show they were doing the promo in a hotel lobby with mood lighting.

It was weird.

I think it was something new they were trying out because they did it during Jericho's backstage segment too. I didn't like it, hope they cut it out.

Okada vs. PAC is one of those really unbelievable matches AEW likes to toss out every so often, just a match that until the bell rings I won't believe is happening but I couldn't be more excited for. PAC is such a compelling wrestler - he found what works for him (being as From Newcastle as possible) and is living it up. It's gonna be fantastic.

remember that Danielson/Suzuki match that they livestreamed on youtube before a random Rampage? That loving ruled. I remember watching it with my dad.
