What would everyone’s thoughts on Cryme Tyme being Jericho’s partners? Or Shad Gaspard & Muhammad Hassan? They’ve just released a comic book together. Shad & JTG did a video claiming they “stole” the AEW World Title. I assume they want in.
They never thrilled me in the ring and they were presented as too much of an OTT gimmick, but there’s no doubt that they were super-charismatic guys, with some size to them too. |

That said, I don't know if AEW is going to add even more teams just yet. Jericho's partners are almost assuredly going to be LAX. |

Lmao "assigned" gender as if the doctor is sitting there trying to decide what declare. Nyla was born wth a penis. She's built like a man. She wasn't assigned her gender by a doctor. She was biologically born a male, with male genitalia. Whether or not she ever felt like a man, or identified as one, is irrelevant. Regardless of how she felt, she was born a man. She wasn't assigned to that gender group as if she was being picked for a team to play dodgeball on.
|
“Assigned Male Status” is one of the weirdest phrases I have ever heard. That said, I’ve not taken the time that Noid has to research/understand the innumerable complexities of the transgender individual.

Noids thought process is amazing, how in the hell he went from trans people to trees I'll never know. At least now we all know that if a painting of a tree is actually a painting of a photo of a tree than it's not scientifically a tree.

From a purely scientific standpoint, if Noid were to transition into a potato, his post quality would dramatically increase.

I don’t know when she started transitioning. I don’t know when she realized “I am a woman.” I don’t know if she ever felt comfortable being called a male, or if it was always something her brain — real fucking scientific synapses — always rejected. I don’t need to. I’m not the one saying she scientifically used to be male. The onus is on the hypothesis to be provable. When in the second grade, XL had an awkward experience with a girl. I don’t know this. I’m guessing based on what I know about growing up. It’s probable that you did at some point that year. I’ve been very unspecific as to what they experience is. It’s not scientific though. And if you came back and said “Actually, nah, it was a great year and nothing like that happened,” should I be completely shocked? And should I be so goddamn mad that you’re not making it so fucking simple for me. You wrote a book called “My Awkward Young Years” for crying out loud. I dunno, it seems simple to me. Biological sex is sometimes, not always, more complicated than a binary. Gender is constructed, but sex is determined. That is determined by genealogical and environmental factors. Those factors are fact, but they don’t mean any assumption built off them is fact. If Nyla weighted 230lbs, that is a fact. Nyla weights 230lbs because she likes cheese sandwiches is an assumption until you know she’s 230lbs because she eats cheese sandwiches. Quote:

Yes Noid. She's an intersex. Just like about .05-.07% of the population.

And I’ve never said that #1-wwf-fan was probably wrong. I’m saying that to say she was categorically, definitively, concretely, authoritatively male is a declarative statement that I wouldn’t make. It is *probably* true. But #fan didn’t say “probably.” He said “scientifically.” It’s just that fucking word. #fan wasn’t doing this, but people use it to justify their bullshit all the time. “Oh, there are only two genders. It’s scientific.” No one here is doing that specific shitty thing (thank fuck), but it fucking pisses me off. They start with their hypothesis as a conclusion and then just say “science” as their methodology. Nah, fuck you. If biological sex were as simple as “penis = male” scientists wouldn’t have to study for eight fucking years or whatever to get the qualifications to ask more questions about these things. I’ll let my friends in the medical field know that Damien Rey 2.0 has made their jobs redundant because intersex people are rare and if you’re transgender it means that you used to definitively be the other thing. Thanks for fixing that. And the thing is, we don’t even know that Nyla was born with a penis. We don’t know the details of her identity or her formative journey. Maybe there’s a doco on her I missed? Even so, there are definite arguments to be made that how she exists now is proof in itself that she was never *scientifically* a he. Trans women are women, and I’d say that doesn’t start at the date of surgery. It goes way back through time, memory, experience and development. |

It’s getting closer. I’m hoping they put on solid TV. I haven’t really stopped to consider that we’re getting a new wrestling TV show. I’ve been thinking more roundly in terms of “product.” But the things like the bumpers, intro music and all those little production things are going to be new, and hopefully fresh.

Can you replay the show as many times as you want? Thinking of getting one BR Live account with some fellow nerds, share the cost of the show, and then just watch it on our own when we can. Can my dreams come true? |

I was looking at full gear tickets on Ticketmaster and there's still a bunch of tickets available directly from Ticketmaster. I also noted there's ringside seats available front row..for $2500. I went to a WWE ppv a couple years ago and got very similar front row ringside tickets off Ticketmaster directly for like $300. I'm gonna buy off a different 3rd party site though since I can avoid the ridiculous Ticketmaster fees.

Finally finished All Out. Pretty disappointing. Ladder Match was awesome. Cracker Barrell Clash was awesome. Cody-Shawn Spears was pretty good. Everything else was way too fucking long.
Also, I'm very sad to admit it as I love him in PWG, but Excalibur has gotta go. He's not very good at mainstream announcing. Golden Boy and Jim Ross were great to listen to though. |
Honestly, I'd do a bit where Ex gets taken off of television in a violent manner, including getting his mask torn off. He takes a few months off, polishes his craft, and then comes back as a completely different and mask-less personality.
|
No Excalibur needs to put his mask up in a match. Have someone defend his mask for him like Cutler.

That said, the one guy who has come off genuine and humble has been Cody. Sure his on screen character has done some goofy things like cosplaying HHH and scaring his dog with pyro, but that is within the confines of the show. As an EVP repping the company, he has been the perfect spokesperson. Can you imagine if the other wrestlers shut up and just let Cody be the mouthpiece for the company? I think everybody would agree there would be a lot less to bitch about, and a lot more goodwill still in the bank. |

Guess ITV handles ad breaks differently than Sky Sports which was WWE's previous network home. Then again ITV also has a pretty bad track record recently when it comes to handling wrestling. Killed World of Sport's revival because of their general incompetence. |
US TV has twice as many ad breaks as UK TV so it's a TV standards regulated issue. When it comes to live shows I'm pretty sure (at least this is what they used to do) Sky Sports gets around it by running less commercials than usual per ad break and just throwing up the WWE logo until they come back on, which is basically dead air.
|
That was something I noticed a lot whenever the RAW/Smackdown stream I was watching came from the UK.
Replace all that dead air with hockey commercials and that pretty much is how its aired in Canada via Sportsnet whenever a stream was from there. |

I question the decision to run Illinois again so quickly. It's 2 and a half hours from Campaign to Chicago.

They’re running Chicago A LOT.

That adds up since by the time Cody and The Elite held All In a few months later, there were already some rumblings of someone being interested in starting a potential new promotion and All In quickly catching Kahn's attention. Kahn was also only interested in Omega, The Young Bucks, and Hangman Page to be the core of his new promotion and help set everything up. Wasn't interested in Cody and only brought him in after Omega and the Bucks managed to convince him it would be a very good idea to do so. |
This is the biggest possible deal that AEW could sign here in Canada.
To think about TSN's reach, they are also part of what was, 9 years ago, an Olympic broadcasting consortium that televised the highest-rated TV program Canada's ever aired....the 2010 Men's Olympic Hockey Championship between the U.S. and Canada, where Sidney Crosby, from Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia, scored the biggest international hockey goal, for a title, that Hockey Canada is responsible for....at 7:40 in OverTime to sink the U.S., 3-2. That game attracted an average audience of 16.6 million viewers, with 26.5 million watching SOME part of that game. Canada had a population of about 33.4 million people, so that pretty well meant that the promotional power of that consortium, mostly led by TSN's owners, Bell Media(also owners of the CTV Television Network, TSN's primary network partner), proved very fruitful at that time. It's something that, sadly, the CBC could never hope to do whether they hold the Olympic broadcast rights or not in this country. And for the record, TSN's main studios are located at 9 Channel Nine Court in Scarborough, Ontario, which is a part of the City of Toronto, and sits on that city's eastern third. Just some backgrounder there for those here who don't know what TSN is =)....and it looks like more ring action just got dumped on me. XD |
