A N T I -

Is it high time for Toni to reinvent herself or something? I saw when Stardom and Progress and even WWE crowds would go crazy for her, and that’s died off for some reason the past like 3 years. What’s missing now that was there a couple years ago?

It’s developmental and all that but I can’t name a single male on NXT television that I care about. They’re all just a bunch of dudes to me.

Something’s been the matter with her ever since returning from injury and getting called up. Other than a few flashes of the competitor she was, it’s like a completely different person. I don’t get it.

I don’t like most ex-WWE names in AEW because it defeats the purpose of the movement, but I suppose I can look at it from the standpoint of being happy for those who could find work elsewhere. Kinda like wrestlers doing stint in other territories. Saraya just seems like a “surprise” for the sake of a surprise, which is no bueno. That hot crowd would’ve given that reaction for almost anyone, I feel. Love Saraya to death but yeah..

Gonna be real ugly when 2K23 rolls around and Sasha and Naomi are DLC

When Jim Ross became head of talent relations in WWE, one of the first things he did was eliminate the separate locker rooms because it wasn’t good for the overall backstage environment. So I’m adding that to the list of Tony Khan’s mistakes. No reason everyone can’t dress in the same locker room. No one person is above another when it comes to that.

Punk having his own locker room was always gonna be a problem. There can still be a hierarchy but you dress with the boys. If Punk specifically asked for his own locker room, that was red flag #1.

Been a great weekend of wrestling. AEW events have a habit of going about an hour longer than they should but this was All Out after all I guess. Not really mad at it as a fan. Great crowds all weekend made for great events, along with the extraordinary efforts of everyone involved.

I think people who don’t follow social media, namely Twitter, or the dirt sheets and haven’t seen Braun in a while are gonna be super happy he’s back. I’m travelling pretty soon, and where I’m going there’s a CYN show going on in a few days time, and I almost thought about going just to see Braun up close, so his drawing power is still there if you ask me. They can make him a special attraction like they were going to. I thought his Last Man Standing match against Lashley was great.

I thought it was funny that the Wrestlemania angle for Braun was him allowing himself to get bullied by Shane McMahon. Bringing him back and rehabbing his monster among men gimmick wouldn’t be the worst thing. Braun was enough of a draw that it was shocking to see them let him go.

Well put

Where exactly? I’ve heard Bryan Williams give the spiel about how he knows the importance of a creation suite and informed the team about how important CAW is to the community that plays these games, but they’re avoiding outright confirming it anywhere I’ve seen. If anything CAW mode was where I expected this game to really shine, considering Yuke’s has had what…2 decades or so of iterations of the feature? We’ll see though. Don’t expect much. I expect it to be as barebones as the TNA Impact Create A Wrestler. I wanna be wrong. I’m hoping by “edit attires and appearances” they mean something along of the lines of the last Legends of Wrestling game but I dunno.

It’s weird, like I don’t feel as though I’m getting what I need from either release, be it WWE or AEW. Then again I mainly watch and keep up with Stardom. If there were a Stardom game I’d be all in. I didnt know until recently that there was a joshi game for PlayStation 1 I believe. I keep telling our friend to get us more joshi moves in WWE2K but it seems like it’s falling on deaf ears, even when we’ve got more joshis in the game than any point in WWE games history I think.
