Pro Wrasslin' Thread

I'd be much more interested in giving AEW $10/month for a network-type subscription than I am dropping $50 at a time for each show. They own the ROH catalogue now, right? AEW back catalogue, ROH back catalogue, on-demand weekly shows, and every PPV. That's an easy subscribe.

I think they are restarting honor club for the ROH stuff, but doesn't include any AEW PPV's or back library just ROH PPV's and back catalogue. That would be a nice all in one option, but I'm guessing Warner may not like that for the AEW stuff as far as $$$$ goes.

I have similar feelings towards the blading and the swearing. Both can be very effective when used properly, but if they happen in every promo/match, they lose meaning.

Like, it's more surprising that Moxley DOESN'T bleed and blade himself. Almost every single match.

Postby **the wicked child** » Thu Mar 02, 2023 10:03 am

Mox is way out of control with that stuff. It's become ridiculous.

They've also been really bad about catching people blading on camera if you are watching close enough.

Yeah blood should be used as a feud ender or every once in a while to really get someone over as vicious...not every single match. When is the last time Mox didn't blade himself? Probably when he was in WWE. I get it...he enjoys it, but it's just too much when it happens every single match.

He's going to have the New Jack forehead pretty soon.

When Mox bladed himself after Hangman hit him with his fist wrapped in barbwire two weeks ago you could see Mox after he fell down and started to roll out of the ring just continually jab himself to blade. It was so obvious.

It seems like most of these newer guys know how to make their foreheads not looked like beat up ground meat with how they blade, but agree. I always wonder how Renee feels about her husband stabbing himself in the forehead on a weekly basis.

I hope so but we'll see how he looks in 10-20 years.

When did Christian-Jungle Boy become a "Final Burial" match?

I have a bad feeling about the Jericho-Starks match. There is no reason for Jericho to win, but the whole JAS is banned pretty much guarantees something stupid will happen to cost Starks the match.

Hate not being able to see the iron man match, but no way I'm spending $50 on this.

I'm still on the fence about ordering.

I don't care who this RJ guy is, throw him in a dumpster and never let him on tv again.

Postby **skullman80** » Sun Mar 05, 2023 7:55 pm

I caved and bought basically just cause I think the iron man match is gonna be worth the price to me, and page/mox will be a bloody fun brawl.

I pulled up one of the watchwrestling streams. Ready for the CM Punk return.

Postby **skullman80** » Sun Mar 05, 2023 8:08 pm

I don't read rumors but the Punk thing sounds like a pipedream no?

Postby **nocera** » Sun Mar 05, 2023 8:15 pm

Oh I have no clue. I was just throwing bullshit out there.

By the way, this match production feels every bit as edit happy as a WWE production. They’re cutting on impact with every move. I haven’t watched AEW in a while. Is this typical?

Postby **skullman80** » Sun Mar 05, 2023 8:16 pm

Tonight def seems heavier on the camera cuts than normal.

Postby **skullman80** » Sun Mar 05, 2023 8:19 pm

Not a bad opener at all. Cool counter to the Judas effect. Please let this feud be over now.

Postby **skullman80** » Sun Mar 05, 2023 8:23 pm

Christian in a sleeveless turtleneck lol.

Postby **nocera** » Sun Mar 05, 2023 8:24 pm

I just looked at the full card. It’s kind of crazy that every single match features at least one former WWE wrestler.

Postby **skullman80** » Sun Mar 05, 2023 8:39 pm

That was a fun sports entertainment match. Hopefully this feud is also over now.

The casket suddenly dropping into the pit was a nice touch.

Postby **skullman80** » Sun Mar 05, 2023 8:44 pm

I love Kenny but I want a singles run for him...and HOB is cool as **** and should win anyways.
