I used to feel this way about Roderick Strong

I still do

I have been watching Roderick Strong for like 15 years now, waiting to actually find his personality interesting

I am still waiting, I have never really gotten behind Roddy, I only enjoy him when he is doing sick backbreakers

he does amazing backbreakers. And now he looks like the most fit member of Weezer so I'm 100 percent bought in.

I live in the US and have been buying AEW ppvs from Bleacher Report from the beginning. I can't keep up with the cost anymore with how many shows they do now. I was thinking of trying to VPN and ordering that way.

I know nothing about how to activate a VPN. Which ones are reliable. What additional devices I might need.

Would anyone be able to tell me in the most dumbed down way how to go about participating in that 3 ppv for $50 deal? I see it on Triller but it also might require AEW Plus?

The TV we watch on we have always used the BR app on Xbox. I can hook up a laptop to watch off of too. I don't have a roku or any other similar device, but don't mind getting one if that makes this easier. I dont believe my TV has any built in streaming apps. I've seen people mention casting from their phone and disabling the VPN once it starts? When I've seen people mention pick any address as billing/location in UK do I just go to Google maps and click somewhere and use that?

I use my internet providers router for wifi if that is relevant.

Thank you. I look forward to hooting and hollering at a price that keeps me watching.

here's how I do it. I got Nord VPN. The yearly price was crazy cheap - like $2.85 a month. Then I bought aew+ so I can get ppv discounts on triller and I can watch aew without commercials. And then I set vpn to ireland and that works every time. I was able to download the nord vpn and triller apps on my fire tv and I have to imagine they have apps on all smart televisions. Then I set the app on my tv to ireland and log into triller and watch that way. It's cheaper than buying cable thats for sure.

Why are all of AEW's top wrestlers Heels or Tweeners?

Mr Hootington posted:

Wrong thread

mostly because AEW has been going on so long that characters have had developments that blur the line. Mox used to be pure babyface but then he discovered his love of violence above all other considerations due to his friendship with Danielson. Hangman was pure babyface until he helped ftr beat the young bucks because he was so worried about losing the tag titles because it was all he had to make him think he was worth his peers friendship. Osprey is pretty much pure babyface but he's also in a heel group because he's kinda dumb lol.

I don't know who mox or Hangman are. I don't think they have been on any of the shows I've watched.

Osprey gives me Sting in the 4 horsemen vibes.

From Gavok's stickied thread:

The Blackpool Combat Club (Bryan Danielson, Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta): Put together by William Regal (who then slipped out of the company the moment Triple H was back in power in WWE), the idea was for Danielson and Moxley to work together to mold the future of wrestling. Then Claudio joined. So far, after all this time, they just have one student in Wheeler Yuta.

The team’s alignment changes by the minute, but the main thing to know is that Moxley is the ace of AEW and Danielson is on his way out of wrestling, using his last year to have as many dream matches as possible before he forces himself to hang it up.


and

Hangman Adam Page: On-and-off-again member of the Elite and adorable cowboy man. Was, for a time, the protagonist of AEW. Now he’s crazy and has a mustache. Gets blamed for CM Punk going insane.


Both have had a ton of great matches in aew.

Jon Moxley is the de facto captain of the Blackpool Combat Club. He hasn't been on AEW tv as much because he's the current top reigning champion in New Japan Pro Wrestling and is fulfilling commitments in that company. Hangman Adam Page is a day one AEW main eventer who just had a double turn with Swerve Strickland last year and has been taking time off since losing in a three way match against Samoa Joe and Swerve at the last PPV where his only goal was to ensure Swerve doesn't Win The Big One, to the point people question if he tapped out to Joe in that match just so Swerve wouldn't get a chance to win.

It should be noted that Hangman had never tapped out before this, Swerve had to choke him out with a chain to beat him in a texas death match. Also hangman beat Mox in a texas deathmatch and is the only man to have made Mox tap out by also hanging him with a chain.

Good luck. I thought it would be too complicated at first too but honestly the hardest part is setting up the accounts. Once it's all set up all I have to do is log into the vpn on my tv and then log into triller - and those stay logged in automatically for me. Easy peasy.

Jericho as the Ocho was great. So the idea of Jericho acting like he's bigger than the world champ or something with the loving FTW title would be amazing.

They’ve done this a couple of times now and it’s such a neat way to come back from a break.

They also have a camera on a dolly below the hard cam they use sometimes that gives a really unique shot. It’s level with the ring or so and the shot from behind the crowd makes it look like a movie shot rather than a sports shot.

actually tony khan is jealous of wwe's cinematic universe and is clearly aping its style again.

the elite/inner circle feud also had amazing moments like Hangman running like 50 yards on a football field to do a lariat and when he road into the stadium stampede match on a horse.

I don't give a crap about the ratings. That was a great show. And ratings being good or bad didn't make it suddenly a bad show.

Shard
Jul 30, 2005

people who enjoy aew dont care about the ratings. People who like aew most the time but find things they dont like and want to discuss don't really care about ratings - they wanna talk about their critiques. And those who don't like aew don't really care about the ratings - they'll just talk about how they were bad regardless no matter what they are. Ratings talk is pointless.

Mercedes speaks very clearly and forcefully which is a lot more than some women on the roster who do not do anything close to that. I frankly think a lot of the criticism of Mercedes is just weird at this point especially after her last promo.

I think it became a thing to be critical of her. Frankly I don't think one thing or another right now because she's in a holding pattern.
