June Wrasslin’ |OT| IT’S SUCH GOOD SHIT

They announced Kodaka's first title defense today IIRC, so I'm guessing title shenanigans aren't in the cards for tonight.
I'll add that tone is important in that part. I wasn't the only one to come away from that thinking he was high on Triple H.
I think if anything happens it's him winning the GCW title leading into the Japan shows
I don't know that it's a good idea necessarily but like I'm pretty sure he needs to win the tournament anyways
I question if Gage or someone would even win it back in Japan because I bet they'd want Kodaka wearing it at their shit for a while
Then they bring him back for the Nick Gage Invitational again and it gets won through whatever bullshit means (last time was a confusing 5 man elimination final for no reason, lol)
Most that talk about having direct work with Triple H speak pretty highly of the guy and how he handles business.
The guy is working miracles in NXT and I would like to see what he can do with the talent on the main roster.
Simpler stories, less bullshit and let the guys actually work the matches in their styles.
Yeah, Orin excels at doing terrible things to himself and since he's 100% likely not winning, it'll be a gruesome squash. That was essentially his match against G Raver, so I'm pretty stoked.
I am fully ready for all the first round matches to be 10 minutes max, but deathmatch sprints are nothing to sneeze at.
I'm kind of hoping that Sasuke/Lloyd is like 90% hokey shit from Sasuke and then the finish is just Lloyd doing horrendous deathmatch shit to him to win

AG: It's a testament to the indys and how well they're doing considering that WWE has been bringing in so many top indy stars to NXT.
JM: I never thought of that until you just said it but its amazing. I thought it was a bad idea when Hunter started buying the indys. You had Seth and me, along with Joey Mercury and we were able to sneak in a few key guys like Luke Harper, Neville and Cesaro. Once I was on the main roster and NXT started, which I wasn't a part of, every week Triple H was taking an Instagram selfie with some indy guy. I don't know if he was trying to make himself look cool and get some indy cred or what, make NXT cool. He basically started buying the indys. I remember thinking that it might not be a good idea. Then where are all of these good ideas going to come from? If they signed Daniel Bryan at 21, he never would've become Bryan Danielson and you never would've had WrestleMania 30. If they signed Punk before he really became CM Punk, he never would've done what he did. If they signed me at 21, I never would've become anything good. I had to develop first before getting brought in.
Buying up all of the indy scene was the same as Vince buying up all the territories back in the day. There's nobody left to cherry pick for talent. It's amazing that even though they bought up the indys that it has repopulated itself stronger than ever. Makes you very optimistic about the future of pro wrestling. That's probably the biggest difference between my interview and the Punk interview. He was basically saying fuck pro wrestling, and I was saying that I got my love of pro wrestling back. I want to wrestle everyone. Let's drop all the bridges, get all the companies together and have a super show that sells out a stadium right now. Fuck it. The sum of wrestling outside of WWE is bigger than WWE. I feel like myself, the entire AEW roster and all of the fans are the same team, reaching for the same goal, to make wrestling awesome. To not be embarrassed to tell people you're a wrestling fan because they'd say to you "oh that show with fart jokes and they poop on each other or whatever the fuck happens over there anymore". If you're a wrestling fan and you show someone some things from WWE, you'd be embarrassed. You'd want to bust out old VHS tapes to show them why you're a wrestling fan because this isn't it. I want people to be wearing an AEW shirt and have someone say "Oh you're a wrestling fan, fuck yeah, me too". When I was standing on that poker chip at the end of Double Or Nothing, I didn't know when we were going off the air. I stayed up there but for some reason, I just wanted to take a fucking victory lap. Security did not appreciate it but I took a giant victory lap around the arena, off the air and I felt like I was with 12,000 teammates. We are all AEW. We have that common bond.
Those people that suddenly backed Cornette are 100% alt right shit eaters who saw the incident as an opportunity to spread their hateful views, you can see it on the language they use, some of which not even dumbshit Cornette understood.
Bless Joey Ryan for standing up.

fwiw, i'm pretty positive most of the joey ryan tweets floating around are legit, i haven't looked but it's certainly something i've seen people subtweet him about in the past, and i saw them then. as someone said, it's very much a James Gunn situation I think
There's also a matter of the time frame of events. It's ridiculous to try and call somebody out for something they said on twitter years ago when they're now clearly very supportive of marginalised communities. The urge to cancel people over past statements without any regard for how they've changed over the years isn't helpful. It's not anybody's obligation to try and make people less racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic, but at the same time it's pretty important to acknowledge that people are capable of changing their attitude over time. It doesn't take a philosophy PhD to realise there's a huge difference between somebody posting some problematic Tweets 4 years ago that they're now apologetic for and somebody who's going on homophobic rants today.
Yes that's why the section of that video at 10:20 was amazingly timed. He knew that shit would eventually happen to him with his tweets from his sleazy gimmick lol. I wonder if Cultaholic decided to publish it now instead of a different video because they knew it might get attention because of that.
Goes to proof that this shit is targeted, it's the exact same modus operandi and with the same intentions, to discredit those who speak up against their hateful trash
Oh god it bad multiple threads with an army of people protecting him pretending he didn't say anything transphobic or homophobic. Acting like anything was taken out of context. Not sure they are smart enough to realize if they take the Sonny rant in context there is the added issue of him feeling a need to explain what Sonny is like when that's just Sonny IRL which makes it worse.
Is there a place to watch the double or nothing ppv online? Haven't watched wrestling in years but I'm intrigued by this.
Like you gotta be a special sorta stupid, or willfully ignorant or just arguing in bad faith to say calling a gay man a transvestite isn't homophobic.
That is transphobic on the outset and you double it up to describe someone who isn't even trans, just cause they're flamboyant. Like the reason is obvious.

We had one of those here the other day, he especifically said it, didn't even get banned.
We had someone here do that last thread and get away with it. It was disgusting
He STFU when I pointed out the other explicitly gross demeaning shit said.
I hope I'm able to bald as gracefully as Kaho
It was set-up by Shoko trying to gas Kamiyu with her kaiju wiliness at the start of their Princess Cup match. Kamiyu is a wrestling genius.

So both the "Viper Room" shot in the Moxley prison escape video and the "Time's Up" video were inspired by Dusty's vision for the Dean Ambrose character.

Looks like the latest BTE is on track to soon becoming their most viewed episode ever:
Vaguely interesting Takeover rumor tonight.
Becky Lynch is in the area. Dunno if she'll appear, but it's interesting she's around.
I know nothing about Joshi wrestling, always see the spam in the monthly threads about it but the match at DoN was great. I have the feeling these Joshi matches could be for AEW what cruiserweight matches were for WCW.
Tournament of Survival is tonight? Easily going to watch that. KENTA's first appearance since leaving hell!
No one knows if he's doing anything beyond signing autographs but him vs. Dickinson is the fucking match
Either do it in Japan or bring him back over this year
I want to see someone go through a poker table or get smashed into a slot machine and it rings up as a jackpot
It's kind of amazing. I went from recently really enjoying Impact's new direction, and product; to one Elgin, and four ECW has-beens past giving a fuck about them, and stopped watching. I doubt I need to extrapolate on my thoughts on Elgin, and I'm twenty years past the need hand over my money to anyone wheeling out ECW 'legends'. Having Tommy Dreamer there to do some fun shit was okay. Bringing back RVD was beginning to push it. Sandman and Sabu was like taking a stick of dynamite to a row boat. Enough already.
