I get why they went with a larger venue than La Boom, but La Boom is such a great venue for Evolve, and it would have been nuclear hot for these PROGRESS matches.

Every Evolve show I've seen in one of those basketball court settings has always looked, sounded and felt miserable.

La Boom would have been a great venue atmosphere wise and twinning with the Electric Ballroom. But yeah, it's probably too small.

Him and Meltz

Yeah that goes without saying.

Pollock is a better successor to Meltz than Alvarez is anyway.

Yeah for sure, though Alvarez is great in his own right but more as an OP-Ed guy than a pure journo

 

[sf2fanatic]

Commercial breaks took away from the match.

I think that was the only match with no split screen

 

[Dental Plan]

I don't even get to see the split screens when they are up. That feature isn't on Sling TV.

Alvarez comes off as just a big smark who is there to act as a proxy for "internet wrestling fan" to keep Meltzer on topic with what people who listen to that show want to hear. Sometimes he's right but I find that he goes off on silly tangents all of the time. It seems like Alvarez gets worked a lot; e.g. he will react the way it was intended that he react and then he'll get mad about it later.

Oh. That sucks.


Raw should go to split screen for their commercials

I saw that Muta vs Flair GIF from the 93 G1 and had a seconds long itch to watch a whole Flair G1 run. I'll settle for just that match.

Alvarez gets misrepresented a lot because people share around his more vocal moments.

Cherry-picking is what The Internet does best.

I mean Noam went to ICW to a hero's welcome, while they're booking Mysterio for their biggest show... and I still can't see them on the Network, they've not exactly been "sanitising" their content...

I honestly think there's 0 value trying to figure out the machinations at this point, there's too many unknown variables.

Their content not being sanitized is a non-issue. As stated months ago, the ICW/Progress deals weren't for live streaming, they were for VOD. So the Progress/ICW stuff would never air on the 24/7 live feed. You would have to go looking for it. Camp WWE operated under the same rules and was also TV-MA.

WWE is basically advertising for Progress now:

Includes link to purchase tickets for the show.

...close enough, I guess lol

 

[SilentMike03]

So is this new version of Matt going to go deep into progressive issues now that he's woken?

I will say that the months long pissing contest between Anthem and the Hardy family has soured me on anything resembling their old gimmicks.

They just going to start saying "CREATE" instead of DELETE now?

 

[Anth0ny]

Same people who give Omega shit for overselling probably consider Perfect one of the true GOATs back when wrasslin was great.

 

[Rhaknar]

Will Woke Matt Hardy ERASE all the westlers he deems ARCHAIC?

 

[SallyIsNow]

If Matt has control, it'll be a million bucks.

 

[Professor Beef]

"Spot monkeys" will now be "spot festers"

Today I learned Lebron James has a line of Nikes aimed at kids inspired by wrestlers. There's shoes based on the Ultimate Warrior, Ric Flair, and The Undertaker

When's Vince gonna bring Hogan in to bump the rating?

 

[serenewarfare]

NXT time.

Nice to see Gargano back in the ring.

What was Mendoza doing there at the end? Good to see Johnny Wrestling back.

 

[serenewarfare]

The back of Gargano's new trunks just says "Wrestling".

He's never getting called up.

Ah yes Danganronpa, the game that matches WWE's Summer of Punk booking in squandered potential.

 

[SilentMike03]

That Gargano/Mendoza match was good.

Bobby Roode needs to get called up to RAW so I never have to watch another match of his.

A purchase of the undertaker and warrior ones would be automatic if i could get those in adult sizes.

Feels like it's targeting the wrong demo

 

[ghostmind]

Asuka isn't sitting Ember.

 

[somedevil]

Pantsuit vs jeans and own t-shirt.

 

[serenewarfare]

So, that segment was pretty great.

I'm a bit ahead.

But this should definitely main event over Drew and Bobby. Crowd loved it.

The Warrior ones should spontaneously combust when anyone gay or non-white puts them on.

One of my favorite Muta matches is against Jinsei Shjinzaki.
Shinzaki did the monk gimmick and carried this prater board with him.
The match was so bloody at one point Muta takes the prayer board and writes "DEATH" with Shinzaki's own blood.

[SilentMike03]

Pantsuit Asuka is best Asuka. She's out here looking like a professional and Ember comes out like some bum off the streets in jeans and a t-shirt.
