  1. From a purely objective perspective, what Punk did was worse...there is no question about that. Page tried in an immature way to take a cheap shot at a fellow worker, shitty but he is not the first nor the worst who did it. Punk isnt a child of innocence when it comes to such tactics, this time it was just him on the other end of such a cheap shot. Instead of dealing with this behind the scenes or in the ring, he however decided to use a Media Scrum after a big AEW Event, to go in for himself and embarrass the company, shame the workers and be unprofessional as hell about it. Not many even noticed Pages cheap shot, it would have been easy to deal with this behind the scenes. He had Tony Khans full attention, he could have done a lot of things, probably could have made it so he never would have to work with the Elite etc. Going on a bitter Rant during a Media Scrum...wasnt his only option, it was the option he felt was most effective and embarrassing for others. That was not a mature thing to do when he is the one who should have known better, the veteran in the business. Objectively, Punks reaction to this was far more unprofessional. The personal opinion on this however, can differ from that...there is nothing wrong with that.
  2. He was already walking on thin ice since the last time he attacked another female Talent, how he didnt saw it coming is beyond me. But the worst is that he plays victim going "cant people criticise anybody anymore" like dude was just trying to be sassy by disrespecing Talent and Fellow Workers werent having any of that. If you dont want the smoke, shut up...simple as that. If you go on a social platform where everyone can see your post, you have to deal with people reacting to what you say.
  3. Why did that story not come out before? I dont trust the timing of that...highly suspicious. Like that would kind of twist the story to Punks favor, if Punk for example only lashed out because his dog got hit...totally different look. But this sounds more like a last attempt to get sympathy when everything is stacked against you. Some bring their kids to shows and all, i dont think there is anything wrong with that, especially when you have a friend there that is in the locker room with the dog and all. But yeah, the story sounds suspicious.
  4. Punk in WWE, something i mainly would like to see because of the sheer insanity of it. Because even with your Hogans, Warriors etc...Punk returning to WWE seems like an absolute zero chance thing. Especially since i always got the impression that Vince be the one willing to work with Punk while Triple H would rather eat glass than do that. Now with him in charge, a Punk WWE return would be really something absolutely insane. I dont really have a personal opinion on punk, but if he managed to piss off two companies and two locker rooms that are happier with him gone...that makes you question a few things. There is no way that dozens of people are at fault when the common denominator is one specific person. The truth is somewhere in the middle. We will see. It would kind of suck if you look at the year he had in AEW, it was almost a fairy tale in Wrestling. Personally i would like if they could bury the hatchet and Punk remains with AEW, but if the lines have been drawn and nobody wants to move, there is not much to do.
  5. Oh dont take this the wrong way, it is not directly mentioned or anything. There are some cues that in my opinon pointed towards it being meant to be that way.
  6. Thats actually what i liked, that the beating he took in the previous two movies and his age are aknowledged. But then...its Michael Myers and the previous movies treated him almost as this Supernatural Evil that even in his 60s or what can lift up people bigger and younger than himself etc. So its kind of weird that suddenly they consider the injuries and age. My problem with the movie is that it was promoted as the Final Chapter of Laurie and Michael, while until the last 20 minutes not wasting a lot of time on that. I like the ideas it had, would have even worked if you would have put the work in it in the previous 2 movies...but this was the wrong time and place to do it. With all that the first two did and how the third was promoted...going the absolute opposite direction that, was not the smartest idea.
  7. You wont find creative minds like Bray very often. The way he captures your interest, how everything he says matters...even during his previous eras that ended then with him losing over and over again. The next week he did promos that still worked. Its incredible how he manages to pull you in with everything he does and says.
  8. So wait, they got allegedly into a fight because Sammy threw the first punch...but it was only Andrade that was sent home? This story sounds very strange at the moment, but this kind of stuff takes a lot of fun away from AEW...and Sammy keeps pissing me off more and more.
  9. Son, Sammy leans very far out of the Window and should be careful. Wasnt Andrade one of the guys in Mexico that quite often got into fights backstage and won? The moment AEW uses him right, he outclasses Sammy in everything. Its a wonder Sammy didnt get his ass kicked already, that man is only standing because of the good will of others and probably because people like Tay...but the patience runs out sooner or later.
  10. Shitty that the man has to go live to clarify some stuff because people keep bothering him. He should be at home, resting and all that instead of having to go online to set the record straight. But good to hear that he seems to stick with AEW. I hope if and when he returns, he gets the push he deserves...House of black not being the first trios champions is one of those dumb booking decisions i will never understand. Buddy also seems to have clarified in a way that the rumors arent really true from what i gather. Andrade...i wouldnt blame the guy at all...AEW has done nothing with him. Even less one would say than vince on the WWE main roster. I get not everyone is able to be pushed, but if you have people like Black, Andrade, Miro...how do you not push them to the moon? They are established, how are they at best in your lower card? I dont get it.
  11. That kind of surprises me too. And its a damn shame he is just in Dark Matches and stuff. There is still much you can do with him.
  12. I assume the Match was against Vikingo right? That would really suck, could have been a banger. And all that because possibly Omega just was there to protect a Dog and got bitten by an absolute lunatic. Damn it. But on the good side, im still a bit unsure how healthy he is, so the suspension kind of gives him a bit more time off in case he isnt at 100%. Still, sucks big time the whole situation.
  13. So here are 3 full cpu vs CPU matches from the tokyo game Show. Some of the transitions are wonky, some moves are too fast...but damn Do i love what i See there. Im loving how much this feels like the gamecube games. Also i love the irish whip to the outside Animation and the tiny detail of the barricade moving. It is about time they give me a Release date for this game.

    WWE Drama

    Not that it doesnt sound like something Dream would do, but how much can one trust someone like EC3 on that? That man isnt all that well in his head either. But damn, those who got into the recent support campaign of Dream...must feel really dumb right about now i hope.
  15. That i guess goes for most. If you dont really follow wrestling social media, you miss out quite a lot...much negativity and all. So i can see casuals and WWE hardcores being happy if he shows up. I just never saw the big deal and things got only worse when it came to him in terms of my opinion. So i dont really see the hype or want him back...but it would be nice for those who do.
  16. Something about this doesnt seem to be right. Wasnt his booking recently the way because he was injured to the point where he feared he would have to retire? Either way, no matter who...if people arent happy, let them go or work on getting them happy again. We got rid of Vince, no need to take his place.

    Did more get leaked? I only saw one screenshot. Is that why people tagged Rhea and Alexa? I hate vague tweeting people do on twitter, im from Europe god damn it, i only find out stuff when its already old news. They should have some pity on those of us who arent live when shit goes down. XD
  18. True. If thats the plan, it would be smart...you could do a good build up that really makes the Division look strong and all that. There is a lot of potential in such a pairing that could elevate everything involved. The titles, the team, the whole division...if thats the plan. I cant see Aliyah and Gonzalez staying champions for long, for that they are one of the blandest teams in this. You cant build a division up with them, so i doubt they are meant to be more than transition champions.
  19. Bronson sure, but Strowman...hell no. The Dude still tries to make CYN a thing and is so childish about it all. The industry doesnt need those wannabe tough dudes anymore. Everything that could be done with him, was done...if you need bigger dudes, they are found everywhere and are better than him.

    WWE Drama

    Lol, the whole thing even got some momentum and the dude *censored*s it up again. He started a campaign and all, got people behind him for reasons i dont get...and then managed to get himself arrested...how do you mess up like that?
  21. Maybe DLC? Considering the game uses on motion capture allegedly, i could see it taking some time animating their moves and all, maybe they didnt made the cut because of that? Either way a very strange story at the moment.
  22. I do think you can give FF much more leash than WWE2k because they stay true to what they said the game they aim for. 2k/VC claimed WWE2k22 is the most authentic WWE game...but throw in beat em up combos and stuff? That is the difference. AEW FF was always meant to be in spirit like the old AKI games from top to bottom. Not any kind of competition, just a fun wrestling game to play...nothing more or less. And like i always say, if the graphics are that importan...go and be happy with 2k22, if that is what one seeks in a wrestling game...its right there. If it needs to look great over everything else, there is an option for people who want that. And isnt that in the end the positive? That we have for now the choice. We actually can choose between wrestling games, or we can enjoy all of them for their own reasons.
  23. At the end i think you can make a simulation like match out of every wrestling game if you try hard enough. Even 2k22 with its god awful combo bullshit and stuff, you can make a kind of realistic looking match. It still has those dumb stances and all the crap, but its possible. But i agree in general, No Mercy had a lot more to offer than people think...even in this day and age. I dont expect this game to match all the little details No Mercy had, but from what i see...it has a lot of its spirit in there. Everything that actually makes me enjoy playing a wrestling game, is a plus for me. Because currently, 2k does nothing for me on that...its a boring slough going through a match. And on that...its nicer looking game mean shit in the end. Nothing about the graphics are in any way a benefit for what im looking for in a wrestling game. Just like the still great looking TNA Impact game, couldnt save itself with its visuals alone.
  24. Ah John Cena, the son Vince always wanted to have. XD
  25. Damn, it was just a matter of time before people realize that even in the AEW locker, its not all sunshine and rainbows. That Rosa looks to be a more constant in Backstage drama is kind of sad, she seems like a really cool person. Sammy i was expecting to push someones buttons sooner or later, and Kingston doesnt take shit from anybody so the chances were high that he would get into something one day sooner or later.
