Been doing a weekly watch-along of a classic match I've never seen along with a couple of friends these last few weeks. Last week's watch was this masterpiece:

Bam Bam & Owen vs. Dr. Death & Benoit

My new profile picture is a photo I snapped with Hiroshi Tanahashi last year at New Japan Fighting Spirit in Lowell, MA. He's the best.

Is anyone watching AEW still? I'm not.

Eh, sometimes. And if I do I certainly skim through a lot of it. I’ll watch Jericho’s wacky stuff, Baker’s bitchy stuff, or a Tazz/Kingston promo. Dude, seriously though, I’m so desensitized to flips, drives, and super moves people constantly kick out of that the matches are kind of just there to watch. All the more worse for AEW is when I decide to watch an old Nitro episode. No comparison.

I just don't get how they decide what ends a match vs what doesn't when like, a piledriver onto the ramp is a two count but some weird flippy splash thing gets you the pin. Or like why is a schoolboy rollup the most successful of all pins

[godofdeadlydeath]

AEW to me is just "ex WWE guys + PWG = Let's try to make RAW but less shitty!" and it often is not very enjoyable to me. I LOVE their midcard talent but most of the main event angles I just don't give a fuck about. I like Mox, think he's been a fine champion, but I'm not that thrilled at him vs. Omega right now. Just the presentation of the product leaves a lot to be desired. I do, however, love Cody, because he seems to be the only one in the company old school enough to know that you have to protect your spot and present yourself like a star and it's not just about "I'm playing fake fighting with my friends and isn't this great that we're all ELITE?!" And their superfans are annoying as FUCK.

I guess AEW has HUDs turned off for a more immersive presentation and we can’t see the health meter or button mashing prompts to escape small packages. I mean, it must be a video game, because in real life Marco Stunt or Joey Jenella would never actually be hired by anyone to complete in any sort of fight, be it staged or not. Right? That would be like getting Stephen Hawkins to narrate a Clint Eastwood western.

R.I.P. to Pat Patterson. Sure, he might have been a pedo but he created the Royal Rumble so it balances out, right?

Remember when Jake Robert's would lay the DDT on a dude.....it was over.

Nowadays that move will fetch you a 2 count at best.

How a fucking Canadian Destroyer isn’t an instant win and real life trip to the hospital is beyond me.

So I watched this shit, and it ended with watch Impact wrestling, the scum bag show that one tine had a Women as champion. Fuck you , fuck everything. Fuck! Fuck!!!

[kevin hash]

Fuckin figures....2 shitty promotions teaming up to make a run at WWE which sucks just as bad.

3 turd omelette.

That ending annoyed me so much it got me drunk.

[godofdeadlydeath]

Man I actually enjoyed AEW a lot last night. They needed to do something to shake shit up and Impact hasn't been terrible lately so I'm intrigued. It's about time Kenny is an asshole heel. Sting as a mentor to Darby could be interesting too.

I'm looking forward to NXT Wargames this Sunday.

I did watch the clip where sting came out.

The best part was when Tony Schiavone screamed:

IT'S STIIIING!!!

I’ll watch more AEW just because Sting has me curious. I will never watch Impact because of Tessa Blanchard.

Tessa's been gone for months. She's in AAA and WOW now. IMPACT stripped her of the title and fired her back in June.

I have never given a shit about her.
