Triple H opening and closing the show. This man HATES attention.
At least they kept up with the tradition of SNME being a complete snooze.
@phonics any idea why our mate Tone is running THREE tournaments concurrently. It's hard enough keeping up with one of his eFed fantasies.
I haven’t been watching lately. I know the continual classic is going on. What’s the other 2?
Dynamite something and some women's shite.
I was watching some old WWF the other day and it hit be like a brick when The Oddities came out with ICP and Don Callis was there.
Trips getting back into the ring![]()
I also really want Goldberg back in the ring too, buddy!
Not sure HHH would be allowed to compete even if his ego wanted him to
I looked into this because I was surprised to hear of tournaments that I didn't know of.
There was a tag tournament, it ended at Full Gear. It wasn't a real tournament, It was 2 rounds/4 matches to set up the 4 Way Tag at Full Gear for the purpose of putting Private Party over.
The womens one is not an AEW tournament, it was a qualifier match for the AEW entrant for the womens match at the AEW/ROH/CMLL/NJPW PPV in Japan next year.
From my research in 2024 I count 6 AEW tournaments including the 2 above, looking at WWE I count 11. Just saying.
I've just seen Smackdown is moving to 3 hours. I don't understand it, I thought the one positive of this whole Netflix deal is you don't have to rely on advertising so you could reduce RAW back to 2 hours and make it watchable again.
Non PPV wrestling is at its best at 90 minutes with ads. It's why I've lost touch with AEW. I don't have time to watch 5 hours of wrestling a week.
Fairly sure RAW is still 3 hours on Netflix
lol.
Did I see Snoop Dogg on there?
He's been in WWE since.
Mahow would be hyped as fuck for Dynamite if they chose some awful nu metal bollocks. Or even Megan The Stallion, he’d fucking cum for a Kenny Omega appearance.
Do you honestly think that's a good song choice?
I legitimately couldn’t give a shit.
I barely watch AEW these days because I don’t do coke anymore so I’m not awake for it but this fanboy bullshit like it’s football Twitter is so cringe.
Every post is like looking at @UtdTreys timeline.
The only thing I’ve looked forward to in this thread is Waff dropping aover pentas debut just to prove he’s a retard.
The Elton John track for their other show and licencing Ol' 55 for the Brodie Lee tribute were both great picks, can't win them all.
The pointer sisters are great.
Smackdown moving to 3 hours, yikes.
And in even worse news, the Rumble next year will be held in Saudi Arabia.
Don't see why they'd want it after already hosting The Greatest Royal Rumble.
Yeah, they're really good at hype packages.
Apparently this Raw is going over 3 hours which I hope is just because they've stuffed a load of big stuff into it and it isn't the norm, Smackdown as three hours seems to only be a temporary thing thankfully.
Cena better not be putting people over on this run. I want Super Cena back and him to rightfully break the record
And if he’s full time for the year, get the buzz cut back
What odds on Paul Levesque opening and closing the show?
The man knows no shame![]()
Reigns and Rhea are just machines aren’t they. Make Super Cena look like a jobber.
Punk winning clean was a surprise as was them making McIntyre lose to Yeet.
And making Rock face again? Eh?
Felt like they tried too hard to ease new fans into it. Pretty sure heels lost every single match
Hulk Hogan booed out of the building too.
I assume Rick being face again now means he isn't working 'mania.
It's nice having it on Netflix now, but they need to sort the production out. They're usually great for it but last night was littered with sound dropping all over the show.
Never seen that arena before, that's an ideal venue. Particularly like the Mean Gene interview area, hope that's standard
4 matches in 3.5 hours?
No thank you.
I can't understand how WWE didn't think that would backfire.
Pretty crap event really.
Thought at least one match would be a banger to help but they cared more about various star power (lol at Hogan getting booed massively) than focusing on the 'rasslin.
Jey beating Drew with no shenanigans, fucking hell.
I’m just hoping it means Rollins, McIntyre and Owens all get together. Wishful thinking
Corey Graves and Booker T (with Vic Joseph who I really like) on the same commentary team![]()
Still a really good episode of NXT despite those two.
Priest against Balor/Judgement Day has to be the most one sided rivalry in history. It’s went on for fucking ages too. I think the latter have won about two segments in a year
It's got to be a work but I don't see what would be the payoff? Graves (who hasn't wrestled an actual match in 11 years) v Triple H?
Graves v Pat I’d assume
Sounds like a Wrestlemania piss break.
