A New Era for the Wrestling Thread

[Dr. Evil]

You know, on these rare occasions like tonight when I’m watching AEW, I truly try to be objective, but they make it so hard.

Edge and Jon Moxley were having a decent Street Fight, then towards the end, they resort to the outlaw mudshow tactics.

Like what the hell is the point of this:

So stupid.

AEW had some good Dynamite episodes as of late and the first half of Revolution was really good.

I view it as imagine the heat Cena will get with a title win than see him at the Raw after WM! Now you could have Cody winning it back at Backlash but that may be too soon. When I do think about it Cena doesn’t need the title but having title matches against a face CM Punk, Orton is money

I think Cena will get the title as Backlash is in St. Louis, so it just makes sense that Cena vs Orton happens there, and I see him holding it for a few months, but I'm saying Cody should win the first encounter as he's the top guy, leading to Cena and Rock digging deeper into the bag of dirty tricks on the Raw after, as that crowd is hotter due to being in a closed arena as opposed to a stadium.

Stephanie Vaquer cut a good 1st promo as double Champion, her English is really coming on, and she's got two title defences next week.

I didn't watch Dynamite, but I saw on FB images of the Moxley spot from last night.

What are we doing here yall? Who is this for? There is legitimately no reason to do something like that. Doesn't even look cool like you a glass spot would with the shatter effect. It's just stupid.

What a stupid company

Dude they had a perfectly good Street Fight going and THEN they do that indie spot.

And people are saying how cool it was.

I can’t.

I am all for street fights and hardcore matches. But come on yall, there is no need to do something like this. Crap like this just shows how right Punk is about this company.

So stupid.

What a moron, and what was the Big Show thinking, leaving his toothbrush lying around.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

I’ll say this though.

I do like that Megan Bayne. I saw her at a GCW show last November here in Brooklyn, and she is really a sight to behold.

Hope her and Toni put on a good match, but just leave out the indie spots.

It's niche stuff for AEW's 'Sickos'.

Stuff like that is why I stopped watching AEW.

And one more question.

After that botch yesterday with the diving crossbody and how winded he was after YEETing through his entrance… does Jey reeeeeeeeeeaaaaaally need to win the WC at Mania?

I have seen Gunther/Walter make gold with his opponent's in matches throughout his career. I think Gunther has his work cut out making a good match with Jey at mania. The previous matches between them were nothing special in my opinion.

Jon Moxley always had his roots in CZW and other indie hardcore promotions, that spot is actually kinda tamed by comparison.

I know. Pretty sure part of the reason he went to AEW is that they let him do crazy CZW spots

Yes that's what he wanted. I don't watch them anymore, but I'm rooting for the company to succeed as I think we all are.

That Mox spot was just dumb

The role that Alba Fyre took was supposed to be for Blair Davenport, but they never pulled the trigger on it.

Shawn debuted the poster for Stand & Deliver, interesting that Giulia is on it.

Also Jaida Parker. Kelani Jordan still likely has beef with her.
