Read my other posts. I mostly just want them to be better. The bar is pretty sickeningly low. Anything will feel like an incredible improvement in that area.

When we start a wrestling promotion how long do you think it'll take before we do something scummy?
I'm suddenly reminded that AEW hired Earl Hebner
+1 scum added
I started a full Secret Wars read through this weekend, starting with secret warriors and I thought I was a bit crazy.
OP there is not enough hours in your life.
OP there is not enough hours in your life.
So I clicked on both the thread you were trying to respond to and this one, and I got really confused when both my tabs seemed to be talking about the same thing
Did you ever finish that Secret Wars run, by the way? I think I read the same run if it's the Hickman run I'm thinking of. It's quite good
I loved Hickman's Fantastic Four run and recently bought all of his Avengers & Secret Wars stuff, very excited to read it.
I knew that Brock's return to WWE was imminent considering, but giving him the briefcase is fucking hilarious.
This is what got me into reading comics.

I bought Secret Wars and his Shield books physical copies of his Avengers stuff is pricey though.
nope this is also problematic no wrestling watching allowedfriends, wash the shit WWE taste out of your mouth by watching Big Shuji take on ACE Kento in this Triple Crown bout
sorry friend
I should subscribe to Marvel Unlimited sometime and finally read that run.
I don't know what people expect from WWE at this point. Why the fuck even watch when you know it will be shit.
I won't take this slander of Melbourne sitting down! Unless I'm sinking a tinny in which case whatever mate I'm easy.
I bought it super cheap on Comixology, I'm normally only buying physical comics at this point if they are oversized hardcovers and I've already read them.
Have you even seen that Invisible Stan guy? He's a fucking dipshit
Has anyone ever gotten paid to do as little as Brock Lesnar? Dudes literally destroy they're bodies in that match and Brock just runs down, injures cameramen and wins matches. Money in the Bank was pretty good overall though. I also enjoyed Game of Thrones finale, now to see how the rest of the internet reacted.
Some people are real good at lying to themselves that it will or can get better
On-air, HHH booked himself to win the Rumble and the world title at the same damn time just because he thought all Reigns needed to get cheered...was to fight him
Off-air, HHH was singlehandedly responsible for bringing Demott on and keeping him around in a position of power over talent Bill abused, brought back Hogan (and called a meeting so he could give a motivational speech about the power of giving people second chances and warning against being caught), and endorsed the Ciampa aggravated injury on shows he shouldn't have worked as something that needed to happen so he could get Main Roster Experience
Had some other things to do, so I'm just catching up on MITB.
Thoughts
- Yay, Bayley
- lol Joe and Rey
- lol Shane and Miz. Miz, what a geek.
- Reigns and Elias was exactly what it should be
- Ariya Daivari on Pay Per View Television in two-thousand and nineteen
- Becky/Lacey was alright
- Charlotte/Becky was good
- Yay Bayley again!
- Seth/AJ fucking ruled. Great match.
- Owens/Kofi was fine. Not great, but not bad.
- "Hey guys, go out there and kill yourselves and do ridiculously dangerous shit for 25 minutes so Brock can come out, do nothing, and legitimately hurt three people on his way to winning a match he wasn't in"

Pretty much all of these.
My favorite part of Nese/Daivari was when Daivari hit two finishers in a row and Nese kicked out, but no one in the crowd actually knew what Daivari's finishers were so no one reacted
Can't wait for Bork to stroll out during Omega vs Jericho and pose in the aisle
The war is on! Stuff that in your craw Vince! Put a few extra zeroes on Brock's next paycheck!

Having a match where 7 dudes kill each other for 20 minutes only for Brock to come out and win a match he wasn't part of in 10 seconds really does sum up the current state of WWE
I know we all like to tell people to stop watching WWE but!
The volume of posting around PPVs and weekly TV is way down on what it was a few years ago (this is a personal observation with zero actual data backing it up) so people have been getting the message!

Everything WWE is poopy but this, I'll enjoy this gif while I can before the Charlotte Train storms through the station to claim title number 12 or something, obviously not at the next PPV "WWE Gents Toilets"
Back in the old country we would regularly go into a second thread per month, even with separate PPV threads. Shit seems to be continuing to die off at an alarming rate even here.
Last year's MITB was a month later but had 26 pages (2524 posts)
Last night's is currently at 11 (1030)
It was also during the series finale for one of the biggest TV shows ever. Not that they aren't bleeding viewers, but just something to keep in mind
So apparently kalisto tweeted out (and then deleted) something that insinuated he intentionally busted lars open during the "bigot beats up minorities" bit
Yep, people just don't want to hear it.
Despite the show being constantly disappointing and shit for years. Dunno what anyone is holding on to, honestly.

What a silly booking decision tbh.
No likes happy go lucky babyfaces. Look at the people behind her giving her the thumbs down. No one looks happy at all.
Fuck that sign even says Bayley in the Bank, as in lock her up in a vault and keep her away from TV.
The babyface Baron Corbin. Killing ratings.
Should have just kept Becky Two Belts. At least Becky is a performer who never tried to be a traditional super positive, happy, goofy babyface.
They'e just cheering an unexpected title change. Like Ryder and Hawkins winning at mania. In 2 weeks Bayley will go back to getting silent treatment because she sucks. Her gimmick sucks. Her promos suck. 0% charisma or wit. Everything about her sucks. Dana Brook would have gotten the same reaction.
