His refusal to acknowledge how wrestling has changed in the last 20 odd years put me off listening to him anymore, particularly because his hatred of some of the people involved seems way out of proportion and probably done to make his show more popular.
The idea of trying to get properly into AEW sort of appeals to me but can't quite must the effort to do it. I think I must have watched less wrestling in the last month or two than since I first got back into it.

And he gives off proper Undertaker-y WRESTLING WAS BETTER WHEN MEN JUST SHOT EACH OTHER vibes. He seemed proper demented over the Becky / Seth stuff for example.
Following AEW is the same time investment as watching Raw, and from everything I hear it's a far less frustrating process.
Yeah but I don't watch Raw.
Even whizzing through it in an hour I haven't done for at least months. For a little while I've just been cherry-picking matches from what I read about WWE and AEW that I like the sound of and watching those.
To give myself a proper chance of getting into it I'd need to sit and watch an actual full episode of TV (rather than 'oh it's the 24/7 title / Omos match / MizTV, I can skip this') and I'm just not sure I have the enthusiasm for it.
It does mean I won't enjoy matches as much because you really need the investment but I think that might just be where I'm at.
Anybody who actually watches Raw or Smackdown live or even in full is insane.
Well Dynamite is only two hours and it makes sense week to week as well as longer term so to me that's a fairly safe bet.
Thanks for reminding me."She's just put herself out of 9 months of work!"
Do it, do it, do it.

Uncle Dave reckons KO's new deal will get him two to three million a year. Fair play to him.
Surely he won't see out his contract at that price.
Maybe not, but he'll make a good cut of it in the meantime. Enough to let him do whatever he wants for a year or two when they release him you'd think.
I love KO, I'd love it if they gave him something proper to do. The current stuff with Rollins and Big E started well but is growing arms and legs and it reads like the insertion of Bobbles has made chumps of all three of them.
Jesus christ.Nyla Rose - You tweeting out needless hateful shit like this and you wonder why God put you in a wheelchair…. Keep on rollin brotha.
Surely TK suspends her for that brain explosion?
Who was she saying that to and what prompted it?
Some bloke, who happens to be in a wheel chair, was firing off a few transphobic tweets in her direction.
https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCirc..._hateful_shit/
I saw that a fan got booted out of Dynamite for holding a transphobic sign up.
She must cop an absolute flogging online.
These people should be dumped at the edge of town and forgotten about.
Keep on rollin brotha.

CM Punk dressed like Sting was awesome.
I'm a twit
I saw a clip of that and it was a fun thing to do as well as Sting's Punk-themed face paint.
I've just watched the clip of O'Reilly's debut in AEW and I really can't get past the fact that Adam Cole has such a terrible moveset.
The Panama Sunrise and Last Shot have to be one of the worst-looking big move pairings a "top" star in wrestling has ever had. The Panama Sunrise takes a move that already stretches suspension of disbelief to breaking point and chucks in a totally unnecessary and momentum-killing hop off the middle rope for good measure and the Last Shot looks like he's just thrusting a big thigh into their head. Maybe the jarring head movement makes it one of those that would probably do the job IRL but looks shit as a spectacle but regardless, it DOES look shit as a spectacle.
EDIT: Also O'Reilly lurking behind Cassidy beckoning for him to turn round just to do Some Strikes is also shit. Get a finisher, mate.
Nevermind his moves, his music is hype x10

His entrance theme is better than what WWE would have done if they'd insisted on binning the CFO$ theme but not as good as the actual UE theme.
The UE theme they used was perfect.
I don’t know what these acronyms mean, sorry.
I'm a twit
CFO$ is just the (shit) name of the lads who did WWE's music after Jim Johnston.
I'm sure you've heard of Undisputed Era.
I always thought a Glenn hoddle inspired heel gimmick was long overdue.Jesus christ.
Surely TK suspends her for that brain explosion?
WWE have been hit hard with Covid lately, their solution? No more testing.
https://411mania.com/wrestling/wwe-t...id-19-testing/
Isn't that at least the second time they've done that?
I don't think so.
They've been quite good with testing but clearly Vince is pissed off that he's lost so many for this week (and possibly next) and doesn't want it fucking up Day 1 (shit name lads) or the Rumble.
I'm sure they implemented some shit policy or another around COVID at some polint.
Toni
Although hopefully she joins somewhere she can be used better.
Aew! Aew! Aew!
NJPW and Impact, surely?
She's engaged to Juice Robinson and probably wants to be closer to him.
I didnt know that fair enough.
Maybe Stardom and Impact then with some top tier indie dates including Rev Pro.
Is she any good? I saw her live at an ICW show which is, err, not exactly the best advertisement for good wrestling.
Drew McIntyre was in the main event.
Edit: apparently she faced Nikki Cross
I'm a twit
She's got the best ass in the business and I don't think it's close. So it's a huge loss.
That is my only memory of her in ICW tbf
I'm a twit
She was something pretty special in that department.
Steering away from the size of her rump, I don't think she's too level but if WWE had such a thing as a women's midcard she'd be between that and the main event I'd say. She's not Ripley / Belair level.
Surely you mean PHWOAR etc.
She's great, stole the show in that Mae Young thing they did a few years ago. AEW should sign her the moment they are able.
Word on the Twitters is that she's had enough of the pro scene full stop. Felt burnt out and went to Vince to get out.
That's a real shame as I think she could have been an absolute star.

Bork has been added to the WWE Championship match to make it a 5 way.
He comes across as way too sensitive to criticism, but without the fun possibility of him threatening to batter someone like Vince McMahon
It's started well, Richochet just mullered the face of a man called Ridge Holland, blood everywhere and the (presumably) heel Seamus is on his own.
I liked Ridge a lot in his NXT run as a heel with Pete Dunne et al, just a shame he got a really bad injury which made him lose a year or so.
Real name is Luke Menzies and used to be a professional Rugby player.
Lol, Seamus wins.
Woke up early and couldn't sleep so watched some of Day One.
Nice to see Big E's reign ending with him looking like the afterthought he'd been during it. Didn't even get to enter last during his title defence.
Also fucking lol at that match going less than ten minutes while Edge and Miz got fucking twenty. I didn't watch it, obviously, but I bet it felt twice that.
I'm not saying WWE's above it, but I'm surprised they haven't put Covid in an angle. I guess they can do that if a load of rumble competitors catch it with one of them winning.
I think they haven't purely because even they can tell the backlash they'd get for it, not because it's too classless for them. Because nothing is.
