I think my stream is lagging behind the broadcast, but man I want to see Taz choke out Jericho like he did with Cody.

There's two reasons they aren't in my Horsemen. One, because there aren't good CAWs of them. Two, what do you do with them besides 'Win the Tag Titles'? They can talk about their kids and Bret Hart and about how they would die for this business, and how they have the best tag matches and…..uh… What was that Bob Holly quote again, give 'em the titles and then they beat everybody?

FTR Bald: "I THINK YOU'RE BOTH A COUPLE A... COUPLE A SILLY BOYS AND I DON'T LIKE THAT. MY DAUGHTER WATCHES ME AND MY BUDDY CASH ON COLLISION AND SHE GOES DADDY YOU'RE NOT SILLY YOU'RE A WRESTLER I HAVE A FAMILY EVERYONE LIVE LAUGH LOVE FOR LIFE" Two thoughts... One, someone needs to do a 'shop of that old Sonic meme of the SWATbot with the "NO FUN ALLOWED" sign except with Bald, and two, I never realized how much Dax embodies the dreadfully dull "my hobbies are Pottery Barn and my family" live-laugh-loveitude.

Hang on I'm making an analysis video on why Matt Jackson punking out Schiavone there is a total shoot, lemme call up my body language interpreter to tell me why Schiavone is actually saying AEW is dying Make sure your thumbnail looks like John Madden drew all over it.

I do like how the EVPS dress like 1930s chauffeurs I can't recall if they ever teamed or interacted on-screen in TNA, but it's almost a bizarre throwback reference to the Okato days.

At some point there needs to be a Crazy Eyes supercut between Cope and Gowron. So if Cope is Gowrin, is Christian, Martok? Cope's already dabbled in acting, now I kinda want to see him cameo in Strange New Worlds as a Klingon purely to see how much he looks like Gowron.

I've been out of the loop, are there any other trans indie wrestlers of note that could be brought in, either to be signed or just as guests? I'd love to see the mental hunancanranas that would occur if these idiots had to wrap their heads around, say, Nyla vs. a trans dude as part of a mixed tag match.

Mox feels like he needs juuuuust a slightly longer guard when buzzing his head. But maybe I'm just used to how scruffy he's always looked and this is honestly probably the most spit and polished he's looked in ages. It's by no means a bad look, just different.

There's a part of me that would absolutely love to see TK call their bluff and be like "let's see your punitive action, dipshits", because it's entirely probable that they could respond in a way that would open up the state for their own legal challenge (and I'd almost be willing to bet TK can get better lawyers than OK), and also because there's damn near no straightforward way to deal with these idiots and they'll somehow feel emboldened no matter what you do which is the aggravating part. So I'd almost just advocate doing whatever will piss them off more.

[/div][/quote]Aha. Well by this time, the media seemed to mostly look down on 80s SatAM fare in general, from the condescending pieces I saw on Newspapers.com. [/quote] As a bit of a tangent, it's kind of amazing how downright patronizing a lot of review articles were for stuff that's looked upon fondly these days. Search for reviews of Star Wars circa 1977 and you'll find plenty of utterly dismissive reviews. Yes, ANH is by no means a perfect movie and there's always a nostalgia factor in play nowadays, but some of the reviews read like they were never intending on giving it a chance anyway... though that's relatively par for the level of contempt that "genre" of any kind got in that time period.

I'm not unconvinced that Angel Hernandez isn't doing it on purpose to see how flagrantly bad he can be. Makes me feel for the umpires who are genuinely good at calling like Pat Hoberg because of clowns like this.
Also, the Yankees bore the hell out of me and I hate that they always seem to have Cleveland's number when they come by.

Schiavone has seemed strangely off as of late, which unfortunately is going to be even more fodder for the bad takes when it could be very well just he's getting over an illness or he's got personal shit that he's dealing with.

I think what's been the most exhausting is that 9 times out of 10 it's literally the same arguments over and over and over and over again, both within the same thread and just repeatedly on these boards, like someone took the 2010 Raw approach of feeling like they needed to re-remind everybody after every other commercial break.
It's like how any new debut or even guest appearance gets the "I don't know who this is therefore nobody knows who they are and AEW is losing fans" while completely ignoring any introductory context given during the show itself, along with the inevitable goalpost moving about well what's actually good enough.

Blah, but I'm cautiously optimistic because:
A. I'd rather them know reasonably in advance and get to wrap things up properly, B. Five seasons is still a good run and I think people *still* unfairly hold things up to the standard of TNG/DS9/VOY having 7 seasons when TNG was very obviously running out of steam and VOY probably would've been better served with modern story arc planning vs stretching out to fill a syndication quota. C. Speaking of story arcs, I feel like the individual character arcs have been moving along at a reasonable pace so far, and... D. The main cast is clearly being set up to all graduate from being lower deckers, so to speak, and there's not necessarily anything stopping them from having a continuation show that's just not called "Lower Decks".

Ron Simmons' spinebuster. AA's is much more crisp and technical, but Ron Simmons' just LOOKS like it'd end you from the sheer violence and impact of it alone.

And I don't even think that's really on Abrams so much as it's Rian Johnson throwing out damn near every thread setup in TFA like Michael Scott doing improv, and then Abrams having to somehow salvage things. He still could have tried to salvage it a lot better than he did... I'll be curious what the presumed Filoni Master Plan is to salvage the salvaging so that Star Wars can actually move forward again vs continuing to awkwardly stuff things between ROTJ and TFA.... actually heck that's almost the literal opposite of the Star Trek lost era issue.

Kind of curious if they're still hanging onto the trademarks for the early AEW specials like Fight for the Fallen and Fyter Fest, though the latter I wouldn't be surprised if they let it die since that's an increasingly irrelevant in-joke of a name anyway.
Still loved the incongruity when Beach Blast was a Cleveland show in the wintertime.
