I don't wanna get doxxed or swatted here but this really didn't need the Punk footage, didn't need it in a literal sense and it didn't need the weeks of wank orbiting around it, it's been great otherwise and the footage nonsense has been the outlier. Literally everything else has been great. Everyone cries about lack of vignettes and everything else. The footage is a very unique take on the idea of vignettes. It established Jack Perry as someone who was physically attacked by a coworker, then suspended by his boss, over words. He was gone from TV for 8 months, and the video perfectly explains why and how unnecessary it was. Matt Jackson even went out of his way to call it nothing more than a schoolyard tussle. It makes no sense to show that footage in a vacuum. With the context of the last few weeks, and especially that Dynamite ending, it makes 100% sense. I get that logic but i'm still not convinced it's been worth it, it's still going to be an asterisk to all the worthwhile stuff theyve been doing any time I see it.

Literally everything else has been great. While I agree the story substantively didn’t need the footage, I think the announcement and actual release of the footage did create much more of a buzz and interest than running the angle without the footage would’ve created. yeah agreed, hopefully it gives them something to think about in the future though that running this the way they have would have got them to the exact same place without any of it. It's been great on it's own merits otherwise.

I loved it and am probably the definition of target audience but announcing a dream match during the intro has to be ditched ASAP

f*** me I forgot Trevor Lee still existed, my mind goes PWG and TNA and hoping for bigger better things and then just nothing because he went to Florida. Love to see him tear it up with people in AEW for a while

ah great, this'll be great, really great reboot, great script, plot, action, codys a good hand and he deserves this chance, works hard, cant fault him, any locker room would be glad to remake naked gun

they need to ditch Boys Stable and the ABQ. ABQ has always been instant skip but i'd take every wobbly, shit, badly placed tattoo ever made and a review of Phantasio with it to not be exposed to V Tubers, Larry Guru and that Muscles prick that yells.

a boycott works if you can organise it to let Oklahoma fans know why it's happening and how they can make noise locally and fight this sort of shit from happening again. Some sort of industry wide solidarity would probably help too. Problem with even imagining this sort of stuff though is it feels like the idea's beyond the capability of literally all pro wrestling organisations. Numbers and pressure, though. That's where you get things working.

dirtbag promoters running dangerous shows with untrained workers slashing oneanother with broken light tubes in a ring made of tetanus, duct tape and dreams but this is EXACTLY my favourite type of wrestling

I know people are going to be mad at the Rock and Cena for still keeping in touch with Vince but they’ve known the man for 30 and 20 years. That relationship isn’t going to end over night and tbh it would be hard for many people to just give up relationships like that. I dunno man, I feel like if "im being federally investigated for literally coercing people into letting me shit on them" came up between me and a friend i'd start questioning what i'd been doing this long and if I needed to know them any deeper

Wasn’t he still active at the time….if so it would have been him with an interminably long NWA style HEEEEEEEEEEEAT title reign it'd be this, easily. Other choices are flights of fancy. If HHH is possible then HHH will happen.

hoping this is good so there's more good wrestling to watch but if WWE get involved I can only hope Rossy and New York both end up crushed by debt and leave the business in shame or under severe duress or something

Cannot imagine having an open goal like that and deciding to deliver two and a bit decade old Livejournal arguments. You'd like to think he'd learn a thing or two but it's Will Ospreay.

wait sorry he QUIT!!! IWA MS for a year or so because Ian brought in Nick Gage who at the time had recently treated Hero and a few others like shit so he missed a lot of 2003 hence the commentary that year not being as good

Isn't this how it is with Punk though? He's on his best behavior then it all falls apart? AEW period definitely but other than that he left WWE because of his health after a 9 year spell and before than was with ROH and IWA MS consistently, never really bought it being some repeat pattern of hostility that's like working with volatile chemicals or something
