Unpopular Opinion: Vaseline on toast is better than Kenny Omega.

(I don't really mean that. I think Kenny could have been a "star", as big as they can get nowadays anyways by which I mean treated like a big deal for awhile before becoming like anyone else, if he went to WWE instead of sticking around his buddies and being goofy)

You have to admit the one I repped you was funny, though.
Honestly, the reason why I say that is thus: Tim Storm is a breath of fresh air compared to these goofy pizza cutter wrestlers who are all edge and no point. His old ass comes across as sincere, and it's a breath of fresh air. |

I laughed at how sad it was that some nobody in his 50s named Tim Storm was NWA champion. Then NWA Power came along and I actually got invested in him. Fuck, I miss that show.
And yeah. Watching just a couple episodes of NWA Power should leave you more interested in Tim Storm than watching every AEW appearance by Omega. |

PWI released their Top 100 Women list for this year with Bayley taking the top spot for the first time in her career.
Highest spot AEW got was #6 with Shida and highest spot for non-WWE/AEW women was #7 with Tessa Blanchard. Despite missing almost half the year due to pregnancy, Becky Lynch someone managed to be #2. Quote:

Mayu has literally been carrying stardom on her back amidst all the retirements, COVID issues, and the Hana Kimura tragedy. She should be higher.

Maybe if PWI didn't rank their lists very heavily towards the kayfabe side.
Not sure if they even consider any other women's title besides those in WWE, NXT, AEW, and Impact as world tittle tier status. Even PWI's editor admitted Shida would have been ranked higher had they been more fond of AEW's booking for their women's title and division. Booking issues and lack of main event matches for women were their main digs against Shida and AEW's ranking spot. |

Either fan applications for WWE's ThunderDome and Capitol Wrestling Center shows have been declining recently or WWE simply got tired of having to monitor a ton of screens for trouble makers since supposedly NXT's giant video board has been using recorded footage of fan cameras from prior shows.

I'm curious to see how the Masked Wrestler thing goes. It is a different concept, and it holds my interest a bit more than most modern wrestling does for me.

Seems its only for the time being and not outright canned.
Makes sense since the recent coronavirus outbreak WWE had originated from their developmental division and some of those talent were also being used for RAW Underground. |

I haven't seen a full episode of WWE since mania. Just so y'all know where I'm at. Still watching AEW but some of it sucks. I think I'd rather watch 2004 era WWE women than the AEW women, minus Britt Baker who is a gold star. I call for Kenny to get demoted to WRESTLER.

The 3 best women's matches in AEW history featured a woman who wasn't in AEW. And one of them was with someone who thought more of herself than necessary.
Side note: can you picture Harley Race not selling for Ric Flair because "He's the Vet?" Another side note: In a professionally run promotion, Ivellise would have been removed from television. In AEW, she got a contract. |

Watched a couple indie shows lately because we get all the ppvs for free. I noticed something really annoying
What does every match have a shot for shot spot where two guys just stand in front of each other and throw punches. It's so dumb. |

Probably something influenced from Japan considering NJPW and other Japanese promotions do the back-and-forth chop and elbow strike spots regularly during matches as a rest break style spot.

It's just so silly. Why would you just stand there and let your opponent knock the shit out of you. And EVERYBODY does it.

If I had to guess, just a modern version of the classic tough man or test of strength spot to show the crowd how tough both guys are.
Like back in the day when you'd have two muscular guys grapple and each would try to push the other guy back or make their opponent drop to his knee as a show of strength. |

Over the past few months, I’ve been noticing that certain professional wrestlers are spewing misinformation about COVID-19 and related political theories. Which one stands out to you?

Easily Flip Gordon.
The guy might legit be the dumbest wrestler in today's wrestling scene. Even others who work with him have recently called him out for being the dumbest person they know when it comes to his views on the coronavirus and other conspiracy related stuff. |

It’s very much tied to the culture in Japan. Specifically the whole fighting spirit thing.
The problem is that culture doesn’t exist here. Or rather, it’s just represented in a different way here. So when two Indy guys do it here, they just look kinda stupid, like Gertner said. |

By a long shot. TJP's dumbness mostly revolves around his views towards women.
Even AJ Styles dumbess when it comes to being a flat earth supporter doesn't hold a candle to Flip's general dumbness. Chris Jericho might be close although a lot of his dumbness revolves around how he runs his podcast series and him being very open to inviting conspiracy theorists as guests for podcast clicks and views. If you count being an active participant and not just someone who sprouts dumb stuff, then Drake Wuertz is ahead of Flip Gordon by a mile based on some of the serious stuff that's come out against him in recent months. Supposedly he's been a main spreader of conspiracy related stuff that's been going on recently within WWE. Managed to get others to join in either via donating to bogus charity groups or repeating conspiracy style messaging online. |

I don’t have a problem with the late match strike exchange where both guys are exhausted and are just trading slow haymakers because they’ve already hit each other with everything else.
That at least makes sense. |
