scottheisel 1,540 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Firefly Fun House and Boneyard matches were both the greatest things WWE has done in years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheWindBlower 572 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I haven't watched main roster WWE programming regularly in years, but WrestleMania was pretty great, a lot of great wrestling. The announcing was abysmal, ESPECIALLY JBL. The lack of crowd was weird. I definitely didn't care for it, but I appreciate them continuing on with the show. Firefly Fun House match might've stolen the show for me. Edge/Orton, Taker/AJ, McIntyre winning, Braun beating Goldberg were all great. Hopefully that's the last we ever see of Goldberg. Charlotte/Rhea was a phenomenal match even if I didn't care for the finish. I forgot how much I enjoy Aleister Black as well. I wish he'd get a bigger push, but I think Vince probably doesn't know how to use him/want to use him. Overall, a really fun 2-night show. The 2-night part made it MUCH more palatable too. I hope they continue on with that in the future. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rip 2,155 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 I’m still not sure I understand what that is. Is it a compilation of all his theme songs? Cause that’s actually pretty awesome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheWindBlower 572 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 I can't justify the price for just HHH themes, but I would really like to see WWE produce more LPs of themes, especially the Attitude Era stuff. There's some cool modern entrance songs too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rip 2,155 Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 Wow. Just over a year of no one posting in here 😢. Just popping in to say I’m going to the first episode of AEW: Rampage this coming Friday. Got pretty decent seats so you might even see me at some point. TheWindBlower 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheWindBlower 572 Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 I haven't consistently watched wrestling in a couple years now. I just follow stuff on Twitter mainly. The WWE product is completely uninteresting to me. The shake-ups with NXT lately have me scratching my head, and overall, even that show's storylines seem kind of boring. The rumors with AEW are intriguing. If Punk shows up, I'll definitely be watching. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And I hate to say it, but I’m starting to get tired of NXT. I don’t really care about much of what’s going on. And it doesn’t help they’re releasing so many people lately. AEW is pretty consistently good though. I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve watched so far. TheWindBlower 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If the general rumors are true (that they're moving toward the classic WWE Land of the Giants model), it sounds like it might only get worse too. AEW sounds like it's been solid lately. I was stoked to see Nick Gage pop up there when I was scrolling Twitter a few weeks ago. Idk if you watch Dark Side of the Ring, but that show is super interesting and definitely worth your time.

Definitely worth the watch (Pillman, Gage, Dynamite Kid included). Do you have a favorite episode so far? I thought the Herb Abrams one was wild. I didn't know much about him/that promotion prior to seeing the DSOTR episode. Rip 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Favorite episode of all-time though has gotta be the New Jack one. I don’t think that’ll be topped. TheWindBlower 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rip 2,155 Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 AEW: Rampage is a pretty big deal tonight. They have pretty much all but confirmed that CM Punk will be showing up. It’s in Chicago and they’ve been doing teases for the past few weeks. Darby Allen saying he can beat anyone, even if they claim they’re the “best in the world.” And 2 weeks ago, Kenny Omega was wearing a Cookie Monster shirt (which Punk has jokingly said before that’s what the CM stands for). And last week Omega was wearing a Chick Magnet shirt (again, another CM reference). So yeah. Basically if he doesn’t show up at this point, there’s gonna be riots and that building will burn to the ground. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheWindBlower 572 Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Yeah, I was planning on tuning in tonight. Punk was the one who got me back into wrestling when I was in college. So, I'm pretty excited. If he doesn't show, it'll be a mess, I'm sure. Rip 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scottheisel 1,540 Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Tickets are still available for Rampage, and I've half-considered just jumping in my car and driving to Chicago. I saw CM Punk's fake last match (MITB 2011) in person, his real last match (Royal Rumble 2014) in person and his first UFC fight in person. I feel like I should be there for this too.

scottheisel 1,540 Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 All Out was incredible last night. Easily worth the $50 I paid for it. That Lucha Bros/Young Bucks cage match was INSANE. Punk looked good, and I’m so stoked Bryan Danielson showed up. Rip 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheWindBlower 572 Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 All Out was that first wrestling PPV I watched in quite some time, and I loved it. Seeing Punk in the ring again was incredible. The surprises didn't miss; the women's battle royale was fun; the main event was fantastic; and the tag team match was wild. It was just everything you'd want from a wrestling event.

Rip 2,155 Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 Yeah for sure one of the best PPV’s I’ve ever seen. I’m still thinking about it and getting goosebumps 2 days later. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
