Hall of Famer

Hall of Famer (9/10)

  1. Wish the US title match was a singles with Logan/Orton. Ah well. The other two are decent additions.
  2. Hmm. Gee, I dunno… Gunther, Cody, Punk, LA Knight, Logan Paul, Roman, Rock, Drew, Bron, Ilja, Imperium, Sami Zayn, Orton, Aldis, Pearce, Joe, MJF, FTR — all these guys I constantly rave about. You can easily observe that by going through a few pages of each of the discussion topics. There’s also another dozen or so that I like to some degree beyond the ones I listed.
  3. I thought it was a very weak debut, especially considering the marketing for the event revolved around Mercedes. Her promo was a generic, uninspired babyface return promo that failed to get me excited for what she does next. Her delivery also lacked conviction and flair.
  4. They’re a stale act who seem to be content with where they’re at.
  5. Idk if I would compare AEW to a cult movie. lol They’re not exactly an indie fed with an underground following. They’re a large promotion funded by a billionaire that has multiple shows televised around the whole world. They’re loaded with cash which is probably the main reason why Okada chose go with them anyway. They made the bigger offer. It also helps that he’ll work less too and the environment will be much more familiar to him, so I wouldn’t blame him for choosing AEW. I’d say both Styles and Nakamura have had pretty respectable WWE careers. Neither were “the guy” but that’s ok, you don’t have to be “the guy” to have a nice, fulfilling career.
  6. Yeah, it’s very tacky. I’ve never been a fan sponsorships being placed all over the ring.
  7. I feel if Okada went to WWE he would have had a greater opportunity at becoming a bigger star in the US. In AEW, his stature will effectively stay the same. I also think WWE would have given him fresher and more interesting match-ups.
  8. Meltzer says it’s not that high. It’s a substantial number but not that number.
  9. Damn, this Bloodline/Cody/Rollins feud has been phenomenal. Every week they keep delivering.
  10. It depends on the positioning and sell job. If a guy just gets up and wanders over to the table and then waits until the other guy is ready to spear him — thats sounds pretty bad to me. But if the guy is already near the corner with the table and he staggers up using the ropes and he groggily turns to his opponent’s direction looking for him and — BAM!— spear through the table… That sounds like a better way to do that. So it all depends on the circumstances and how organic it is. Are the participants selling well? Are they positioning themselves in a natural believable way for the spot? Simple shit like that, which I don’t think Darby and the Buck were able to accomplish for this spot.
  11. And here you go again. lol Sorry from everything I’ve read (including your usual weak defenses), it sounds very phony and choreographed to me. It sounds pretty dumb that the guy just *happens* to wander over to this big semi-elaborate chairs/glass setup. That shit is much more designed than a simple table in a corner, which done poorly can be phony too.
  12. Darby expected him to wander over to the chairs/glass? Idk that sounds silly, far-fetched, and overtly choreographed to me.
  13. I didn’t even consider Heyman for the HOF this year, which is kind of dumb of me since WM is in Philly after all. lol
  14. I read Darby didn’t even attempt to put Nick on the chairs. That’s what I was referring to. Not just that Darby was going to miss him anyway. Apparently Darby smashed Nick’s head into the steps, then went to climb the ladder, and Nick wandered towards the chairs/glass himself without being placed there by Darby.
