If any of you are concerned about my spate of posting recently its probably because I'm on the verge of joining this club.

It's because you got wound up about people using the tag function, and when you get tagged in conversations the conversations often turn in to something random.

Andrade allegedly requested his release which has been turned down. I don't want AEW to become a home for WWE cast offs but Andrade and Aleister Black are two guys I'd be keen to see on AEW a lot more than guys like Christian. Beggars belief why WWE just doesn't move them back to NXT if they're not going to put them on TV in some reverse Retribution story.

The issue with the women's divison has always been a lack of time. It's very difficult to get invested in characters if they're only getting four minutes worth of TV time.

AEW are brilliant at story telling. Every little detail builds towards something. No stone gets left unturned, and when you think it has been, they bring it back up. The theory behind Cody Rhodes milking an injury but not quite being out of shot on the ramp was that it was that it was about younger guys taking "the brass ring" (a phase Vince coins) when an opportunity presents itself. Something that generations have struggled to do in WWE due to the political power playing that's been going on for decades. On a side note AEW Dynamite was a good one this week. A big development for MJF and The Inner Circle going forwards.

Finished watching it all today. Positives: + The Cinematic Match was good. + Womens Match was surprisingly very good for AEW. + Ethan Page is All Elite. + Page / Dark Order has been a good story. + Finally making Miro look decent. Negatives: - The ending overshadowed the show. - Young Bucks are turning in to Skinny Cena's with the way they kick out of everything. A baseball bat to the back of the head? Give over.

Outrageous.

I'm pretty sure the electric cage in TNA was what led to his infamous row with Vince Russo which effectively was the beginning of the end for him in TNA. It was that or another bizarre Russo suggestion where he eventually lost it. Listening to podcasts like Grilling JR, 83 weeks, Something to Wrestle With etc. has somewhat changed my opinion on Cornette. I get the impression you need somebody with his grounded approach to wrestling on a booking team to stop the product getting carried away in any form of wrestling company. He comes across as very difficult to imagine working with but then again so do they all (Heyman, Pritchard, Dunn, JR etc).

Oh my God I can't wait for the inevitable Bruce Pritchard impression of what Jim Cornette thinks of this in five years time: "God Damn exploding ring, barbed wire and fireworks it was never going to work motherfuckerrrr".

I said with @6666 that Christian is the one they could do the most with. Personally I think they should look to be different and not sign WWE midcarders whose best years are behind them, but if he shows the same passion he showed in the TNA good years it could work. Just watching it now. The feedback hasn't been good. I'm sure they'll recover by Double Or Nothing.

Imagine showing Vinnie and Fash at Plough Lane in their prime what footballers in 2021 use their phase "The Mixer" for

I've enjoyed this game but I had no expectation going in to this after last year's game and I do think Danny's criticisms are fair. In general the Xbox One / PS4 generation has absolutely sucked. Some of the games being released in 2013/2014 were brilliant in comparison. You accept that there's a year or two transition period between consoles as creators are discovering the full capability of new consoles but I can't think of any games from this generation of consoles that are going to be remembered as legendary. The games I've had the most fun on are remakes of old games.

Oops thought I'd said Under 18 South table.
