August Wrasslin' |OT| I'M NOT FINISHED WITH YOU-LY
- Thread starter Hasney
- Start date
Just two hours earlier would be fine, means it would start at 10pm in the UK. An overrun to 1am is more reasonable then an overrun to 3am if we've got to be up at 7am.
I'm a insomniac all is gd
I'd have to do GWF's on weekends only, then. I only get out of work an hour and a half after the start time for today's show and i need time to eat quick plus set up everything
Its all good, didn't want to pick on your or Anthony, but sometimes you need that perspective from someone looking from the outside.

Sorry, not letting my thoughts get buried like Cena's foreign opponents

Nah man, don't put yourself out like that. On a weekend, it'd be handy, but I can always catch it the next day.
by the way, what did you want your updated CAW's shirt to say?

You've been assigned your gimmick: 2-Days Late.
Don't worry about it tonight man. Just maybe have every other one be at the (5pm?) start-time at the weekend when you're not working.
We all say shit we don't mean or lose it sometimes. Long as we learn from our mistakes all is good.
I sensed a disturbance in the Force... what's happening in here...
*points finger at Zach*
Also I enjoy watching GWF at 5.30am in the morning whilst making the breakfast and slow cooker dinner before the kids get up. It's a genuine highlight for me - #thankyouSeph

For some people, yes.
For some people, no.
Both posting about it at the same time though created a feedback loop.

Had an interesting discussion about Kazuchika Okada vs Kenny Omega with my friends.
This G1 has shown undeniable evidence of two things:
1) Kazuchika Okada is the best and most versatile worker in the world. He's having great matches against EVERYONE, working a grinding schedule, all without taking insane bumps or destroying his body. The Kojima or Juice matches are perfect evidence of this: matches largely constructed around Okada's gimmick and long term storyline, featuring very good work but taken to the next level by everything that surrounds the actual chops and suplexes and rainmakers.
2) Kenny Omega is trying to keep up, but isn't as good. He's taking burning hammers, head drops, throwing V-triggers all over the place... and he still isn't keeping up. He's putting himself and his opponent in far more physical danger than Okada, all for the sake of matches which are very good, but can't touch the basic storylines and exchanges in Okada's matches. Has there been anything as good in Kenny's matches as the thunderous boos following Okada's rainmaker pose against Kojima?
It's not exactly damning to be less good than Okada, but I don't think the difference has been quite so clear before.
And the rest of the discussion led to a consensus that there's a lot of indie left in Kenny. That he's a gotta get my sh*t in guy who can't adapt because he's too focused on getting his sh*t in.

Smackdown is in good hands, trust the process.
Holy fucking shit.
We need an Avatar Lethal Lottery. Perhaps last week of this month in preparation for Sephtember?
I'm hopefully taking the week off work and feel the need to contribute.

At the end of the day, Omega's still cut from the same cloth as the Young Bucks. So even when he has great matches, there's still an element of "playing pro wrestler" that you don't get from Okada or AJ, at least not in big matches.

There are few wrestlers as insane as Jack Evans, how the fuck did he not die?
I may be wrong but I don't think anyone called you a troll.
Regardless, we're moving on.
I think inside jokes are healthy for a community but that's as long as people understand that it is a joke.
Kenny's going to have 3 amazing trilogies against three different guys by the end of the year. He's also a huge part of what made the two Okada matches totally special.
You could have just come out with the explicit hot take of calling him a spot monkey without dancing around it.

I really enjoyed last nights Twin Peaks. Always bums me out to go online after liking something and read about how unanimously terrible everyone thought it was. Lol

I never will.
There hasn't been an episode I have not liked yet but I'm this one was the low point for me. I know next week will be much better. I wish didn't like the Twitter hype by some people like Kyle, made no sense.

I actually think it's worse with Omega than the Bucks - Matt & Nick are just playing shitheads, it comes easily to them and they're good at it. They're believable shitheads. Omega's character is like an anime villain come to life, it takes an extra leap to buy into but I think that's also kind of the point - the hints and teases of an Ibushi feud (most notably Kenny's conflicted feelings after AJ beat Ibushi) have shown Kenny in terms outside of his current persona, flashes of the old Omega. His villainous persona is a facade, one that's sure to be exposed somewhere down the road.
Also, I'm in total agreement about Okada (probably unsurprising haha), he's doing a hell of a lot with a lot less. Which is funny, as some of his lengthier matches this year have been accused of excess, but it never feels that way to me. I think Okada's doing a good job of setting the standard, as Tanahashi did before him - it's up to Omega and the rest to match up.

According to PWS, Kairi suffered a concussion at the MYC tapings. She is expected to be cleared in a few weeks though.

I didn't think it was terrible. For me I was just hoping we would finally have some more questions answered. We had a few answered but now I have more questions. I guess that could be a good thing.
Someday.

Don't even know if one should bother pulling apart the Bucks' gimmick. Their entire success is centered around not what they've accomplished in the ring but how they built and expanded their personal brand. They are first and foremost a brand machine, "pro wrestler" second. This is why I think they will inevitably make a leap to WWE. They love that money.

I read this exact same post. Literally word for word, on the Observer board yesterday. Actually all of your recent posts are copy/paste from there.
Bean, are you a Meltz mark?

Naw, if they weren't fantastic wreslter no one would care about them. There whole brand is built off of being the best tag team in the world.

To be clear, I mean to use it as an platform to promote awareness to their brand, not to collect checks from Vince.
Now that I say that, would Vince even let them keep their store page? Without a doubt that would have to be on the negotiation table and I doubt Vince signs off on that.
I redact my thoughts and recuse myself from this ongoing investigation.
Haha I just checked the board and yeah it copy paste.
