Jade or not Nia has to have a little situational awareness, though I guess if Jade was supposed to come in from the other side she wouldn't have been able to see her. I'm always impressed by those pin breakups because the timing has to be perfect.
Yea ref should have just called it. Tiffy finished the match like 5 seconds later. It wouldn’t have made a difference
I'm probably late to this, but why are AEW fans going after Gail Kim? It just never ends with that community.
She said she likes Jim Cornette and she criticized how AEW books/presents Riho. Then Kenny Omega did a passive aggressive tweet saying how she was just doing that for a TKO gift basket or something and Tony Khan had a few people “report” that Gail was begging them for a job when Gail said it was the other way around and someone in AEW called her about potentially coming in when she left TNA. The stuff that becomes a “controversy” in the social media space in wrestling is the dumbest shit imaginable.
whether it’s politics, video game discourse, or wrestling I often have to remind myself online is not real life
I saw Kenny's tweet and didn't connect the two, that's nasty work from Kenny if it was directed towards her. EVP's talking crazy online... yikes.
Iyo/Rhea/Asuka/Kari stuff is really good. Dom is great. He’s this generations Eddie G! Cody/Rollins videos are fire
It really sucks that so many guys from that era died in their 30s and 40s. Would love to listen to the Perfect Podcast where Hennig just recounts all of his legendary matches, vignettes, and ribs he pulled.
I’m glad they brought Andrade back to immediately join him with the black hole of charisma Callis where wrestlers go to die. Every single wrestler in the rag tag stable has zero credibility except for Fletcher and he’s tip toeing.
Takeshita (??) could be but yeah, adding every low to mid level heel to Callis does nothing for literally anyone.
I suppose his benefit is that he's a good mouthpiece and most of the guys he has in his stable struggle on the mic, but I agree that they sort of hit a ceiling with him as their manager.
even going back to when he managed the Truth Commission in WWF and when he was Cyrus in ECW, he's always prioritized getting his own shit in and being the star of the act over the wrestlers he's supposed to get heat for. It really undermined Andrade's return to immediately make him the 4th most relevant member of the Don Callis group. Fletcher, Takeshita and Okada would be a hell of a trio but for some reason they want to attach the nWo B team to them as well
also it was wild to hear the crowd chant "You can't wrestle" at Kyle Fletcher of all people and then give Toni Storm the "What??" chants when she was cutting a more serious interview by her standards
The beards can’t take an actual adult Asian woman raising concerns about the EVP’s schoolgirl fetish. Until there is evidence to the contrary I will assume Kenny is harmless weeb, but if he is actually a sicko, that video of him in Japan in the ring with a pre teen girl would be worse than Benoit for the entire wrestling industry. Remember these people were shocked Joey Ryan ended up being a real life perv.
Know Cornette is a polarizing subject and he’s way more interesting to me talking about Jim Londos in the 30’s than repeating his takes on current wrestling, I was surprised when he put over Je’Von Evans huge after seeing him against Zayn.
Royal Rumble was given to the Saudis so the moved Crown Jewel to Australia. Australia was I believe originally just going to be a standard PLE.
Show was fantastic and props to ESPN to allow you to fast forward past the commercials if you watch on demand
Once they establish a “thing” they feel like they can just move it wherever. AEW just did this with Grand Slam no longer being in a tennis grand slam location.
TNA doing 7K attendance for their last PPV and 6K for the PPV tonight is wild, they weren't pulling those numbers even in their biggest days on Spike with Samoa Joe, AJ Styles and Abyss
who knew the key to selling tickets in 2025 was booking a tables match with the Dudleys and Hardy Boyz
Always thought Bron playing second fiddle in a group didnt match his character. That was a way to end raw, wonder if Seth is hurt again or they always planned it short term
