    The wrestling thread has always been "avoid the thread if you don't want to know any results" for as long as I've been posting here.

    It's always weird places I get spoilers from when I'm trying to avoid them. I'll avoid the wrestling websites and silence the relevant people I follow on Twitter and then the fucking BBC will have a sidebar article about it or something.

    Has everybody else seen this before?

    On the off-chance the timestamp doesn't work it's 22.40 you're after.

    That spot from Io /

    The bin is the MVP.

    Sweet Jesus that eclipse.

    I think the Men's Wargames match was the best they've done. Loved it from start to finish, from Dunne and KOR putting on an early clinic, Dunne and Oney picking apart KOR and then when everyone was in. The setup was a bit shit (they always are for the big dives) by McAfee with a beautiful swanton off the top and not being caught (plus his perfect moonsault earlier through a table) was wild.

    Dunne hitting a Bitter End on a chair was mad.

    As a counterpoint I enjoyed the womens Wargames match more for them working around the babyface advantage thing, the stuff with keeping Shirai from entering, building Gonzalez to be a bit of a monster and the dumb but very funny trashcan dive spot. Not amazing but alright as wargames matches go and the mens one was just everything I don't care for. Yeah the action was fine early but it's 25 minutes of stakes-free wrestling and then once everybody IS in there's nothing fight-y about it, they're just moving through the script and for fuck's sake when will they realise that one guy jumping off a cage onto a convenient crowd of seven people (who all then die from the impact) has never not been bullshit? if Rikishi can jump off a cage with just poor Val Venis waiting for him then you fucking can too.

    On the whole though I enjoyed the show more than I expected as I didn't have high hopes for any of it. Ciampa / Thatcher was rough and ugly in the right way. I thought Grimes / Lumis had the wrong winner but I enjoyed how they used the chair and the strap for the finish but I thought there was going to be more to come from Grimes insisting on his own strap. Fun though and Grimes is great. Also enjoyed the story of the triple threat match with Gargano focussing on Ruff as a weak point and Priest really just wanting him to stay out of the way. However I'm bored of Gargano in NXT so another title reign for him doesn't fill me with joy and the shenanigans involving guys dressing up as a reference from a quarter of a century ago is very main roster-y in the worst way. Fun match though, even still.

    But yeah, Wargames can do one.

    After seeing what Lewis posted in the football thread with AFTV. How do they deal with people paying superchats to say heinous shit, do they get to keep the money if they delete it?

    I would love to watch these if someone did an edit removing all superchats.

    They just don't say them.

    Also you can achieve that very effect of no superchats with a mouse cursor or skip button or whatever if you watch it after the fact.

    I don't want Tony Khan to become an on screen character but I do like those ads, they're quite funny. The cross promotion is also smart, it helps both shows.

    Seems like a fresh company with a ton of momentum doing a favour to shitty Impact, which isn’t even on television.

    The AEW nerds on Reddit are going mental about the fact that the ratings beat Raw this week in the key demographic. Not sure how much of a big deal that is, but looking solely at the Raw viewing numbers, it's absolutely crazy how far they've fallen in the last few years. They need to do something, especially if AEW keeps building momentum.

    There's lots of mitigating factors (like NFL games etc) but it's still ahead of any schedule anyone thought possible/likely. As far as I understand it Raw is still more lucrative because of their deal with whatever network they're on but the two shows do seem to be going in different directions viewership-wise.

    My only Raw exposure these days is Alvarez ranting on YT but the booking strategies would appear to be night and day. AEW is not the sports based promotion that they talked about at the beginning but they've followed the crowds in that respect which is understandable, and the booking makes sense which makes a huge difference.

    Yeah Raw being written hours before broadcast based on Vince's latest tantrum just isn't conducive to good TV.

    Anyone else into collecting wrestling figures? Preordered wave 3 of the AEW ones yesterday (Young Bucks, Darby Allin, Orange Cassidy and Riho) and covered the cost by selling the AEW ring with an eXcLuSiVe Cody figure on eBay. Sending it to America is a pain in the arse, but worth it.

    Still need Brandi Rhodes from wave 1 though, goddamn.

    10? Loser. I probably stopped when I was 9.

    These are an investment though.

    Considering I already sold a ring I paid £29.99 for, for £155+shipping, I’m sitting on a future goldmine.

    Christ that Inferno match was shit.

    The only good thing to possibly come out of it would be The Fiend being done.

    I've looked at the results because I'm really not sure I bring myself to care about TLC as a PPV in general and because the only feud I really give a shit about on the show is the Reigns / KO one and there was only ever going to be one winner there. Lol at the use they've got out of the men's MITB this year.

    Charlotte back so she'll presumably taking the title off Asuka basically whenever she decides she wants it and WWE can go back to pretending Asuka isn't one of the best people on their roster and the TLC matches sound largely like any other of the 300 ladder matches WWE have done. Yawn.

    A lot of people are saying it's their best PPV of the year. It's up there but I think that's because the bar wasn't that high.

    Drew/AJ was great but I think it lost a lot of momentum when Miz attempted a Rollins.

    Sasha/Carmella was ok and probably Carmella's best showing in some time but she's really shit and shouldn't have been anywhere near a title.

    RAW tag match was fun but not amazing. Women's tag was predictable and pretty guff.

    Reigns/Owens was brilliant. The story telling was spot on yet again, it was really hard hitting and Roman makes another person he beats look great. Finish was also really neat.

    Inferno match was a complete dud for me. I try to like Bray but I just can't and The Fiend is just so crap.

    People also like WarGames so I dunno what to tell you.

    I will probably end up giving the two world title matches a go but it's very, very difficult to care about stipulation matches when they're just because it's that time of year.

    And when we get them so often.
