I want to watch the weekly stuff but I really couldn’t take to the show when I watched back in April. Then again, it’s not like WWE’s weekly programming is any good either. I watched the first few shows and not bothered since. Will watch it on Wednesday night and if Punk does join. I will watch it more regularly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In reality though, getting hit in the face usually results in blood being spilled. I can't think of an MMA fight in which there has been no blood drawn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to watch "real" fighting you can.This is pro wrestling and it's all about the presentation, the stories, the characters etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWE have severely watered that down over the past 30 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoon Posted August 3, 2021 Author Share Posted August 3, 2021 If they want to do blood in most main events, I don’t mind that, as long as it isn’t overkill. We don’t need it in Cody vs QT Marshall or whatever though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever seen anyone punch like Road Dogg, do a jig, then knock some c**t out? I haven't, but it's entertaining AF. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrif John Bunnell Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I had always like The Acclaimed's raps, but it was incredible that their one on Dark the other night managed to make it to air. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb_diamond Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 The artist formerly known as Ruby Riott apparently signing, she is a good worker and has a good look, so that could work out well! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 That to me, seems much more like a signing AEW should be making. Their female roster is a bit lacking looking at it from the outside. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoon Posted August 4, 2021 Author Share Posted August 4, 2021 Wasn’t a big fan of her in WWE but they never really gave her anything meaningful to do, and apparently some of her Indy stuff with the likes of Freelance was great so it’s probably a good pickup. Woman’s division needs some more bodies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWeatherFan Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 The women's division hasn't been helped by some of the injuries. Although it was helped massively by a certain pregnancy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His subtle 'that won't get him' under his breath as Black pinned him with his foot and his total shock that it did keep him down was excellent and totally sold Black as a massive deal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoon Posted August 12, 2021 Author Share Posted August 12, 2021 Omega vs Christian at All Out then. I don’t mind it whilst Hangman’s out of action I guess, and Punk/Darby’s gonna be the featured match anyway. The way they announced it was pretty dull though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFCDannyFTH Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Hopefully Christian wins on Friday to make people think he has even a slight chance of winning at All Out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWeatherFan Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 (edited) It's weird to think that Michael Hayes was doing his wrestling dad schtick with the Hardys at the grand old age of 40. And we've got Matt doing it now at 46. EDIT: Christian v. Omega in the Rampage opener, makes me wonder if All Out won't happen. Still holding out some hope for Hangman. Although a Dynamite Grand Slam win followed by Dynamite in Rochester where he reunites with the Dark Order wouldn't be the worst thing.

Ludo*1 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 The WM 17 gimmick battle royale is insane looking back. Most entrants to that match are younger than most top level superstars these days. Fandango is 44 for example. Brother Love was 38 in that match. Bizarre. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
