AEW / WWE thread - Real Fighting about Fake Fighting (RUMBLE LOTTO OPEN NOW)

Well I’m not blocking Fightful

 

Is Travis Scott carrying a repiica hardcore title?

 

Travis Scott with some Iranian tobacco

 

wish I could hear Travis Scott’s thoughts on Michael Cole.

 

Jey the most over baby face in the company.

Look at what good story telling can do for a character.

 

Don’t yeet on me I don’t have another clean suit is an all timer.

 

Cole can’t find the beat.

 

Also, smart enough to recognize that a lot of people just want to chant shit. I think Penta Iwill get over big because of that too.

 

I wouldn't assume that this is the permanent set. This was a hot ticket and they wanted to make it look and feel special.

 

yeah its only a smaller set because they sold 17K tickets and were able to pack in as many people as possible. Next week when its back to 9k-11k it'll be the usual set

 

They crushed the WM logo so much this year

 

Hogan walks like shit, good riddance

 

lol they’re booing the shit out of him

 

Hell yeah boo the hell out of that POS

 

can we get an encore please

 

LMAO get absolutely shit on Hogan.

 

Lol this is great.

 

He is so shook lol.

 

that couldn’t have gone much worse. this LA crowd is very good.

 

They could have pulled off the hogan spot in Atlanta, but that shit was never going to work in LA.

 

Was going to change the channel when that first note hit, but I heard the crowd groan and thought there was potential

 

This production is so damn good.

 

Maybe but I think he got it at Mania in Tampa too. Wonder when they stop running him out there.

 

It's definitely one thing Vince always got right and now even better w/o him and Kevin Dunn.

Also helps that Netflix can broadcast in 4K whereas USA/FOX can only in 1080p.

 

Cole just casually dropping shoot names on commentary

 

I thought they said the Netflix set was going to be new. Assumed this was it

 

They got to get rid of commercials for the main events…. Pack them in the middle of the show. Main event should always been clean.

 

didn't realize I had the commercial free version of Netflix until tonight

 

Could probably easily get a company to sponsor a commercial free main event too

 

I liked that I legit had no idea who would win this match going into it.

 

if Rock is out for WM that most likely means Punk is getting 1 of the main events so I figured he'd win but the split crowd helped elevate that match too

I could see Rollins winning the Rumble, I assume they'll draw out the Cena story for the Chamber

 

This post show better be worth it

 

think one of a half dozen guys could win the men’s rumble. Cena, Roman, Punk, Paul, Rollins or Drew

 

They held back a lot for the following weeks too, there's still

Becky return
Penta debut
womens IC title final
Priest/Balor street fight blowoff match

among other things

 

I believe Penta, IC and Priest/Balor are next week

 

Really surprised we didn’t get a W6 piece tonight. Also the return of Alexa Bliss is coming.

 

W6 have really cooled the fuck off after a huge debut.

 

and don’t forgot who everyone has been dying to return… Charlotte

 

Bray was clearly they mega star of the two brothers… no shade idk but feels that’s way

 

It’s pretty similar to the set AEW used for All In 2023. It’s fantastic looking and scales well to any size arena that is typically used be AEW or WWE. I wish AEW had just switched to that when they decided to revert back to tunnels.

 

And not to beat a dead horse but the howdy character is just so dumb to me. Looks ridiculous and doesn't really make sense. Bray's characters always looked cool and drew you in

 

Were they really doing 1080p or was it 1080i?

 

Thurston isn’t in the business of fabricating press releases lol

 

Hulk Hogan being booed out the building was the highlight of the night.

 

Yeah I'm not sure about that specifically.

 

Wonder what Emanuel and Shapiro's reaction was to that. The WWE crowd ain't close to the UFC type crowd.

 

Deadline chick asked both Cena and Roman if they could be facing The Rock of course lol. Could tell Roman was annoyed but understood it coming from a Deadline journalist.

 

A few years ago, you could've written in pen 75% of the Mania matches this far out from it.

And when do they pull the trigger on Jey? So many options.

 

been meaning to ask if this was still a thing, hadn't seen them talked about itt for months it seems
