AEW should use this week's show as the template going forward.

Shorter matches that lead to something, remembering that they can actually let people cut promos (some for the better, some not so hot) to set up angles and matches/feuds, a vignette to progress a storyline/character arc, backstage segment or two, actually setting up and announcing matches for the next show instead of waiting until the weekend and tweeting some shit out. I'm not at all sold on needing to do immediate rematches when half of the roster has gone 3-4 weeks (or more) without being on TV time, but Page/PAC was how you should do such a match: Faster paced for TV, twisting all the spots and beats from the previous match, decisive winner and now you can move on. Scorpio Sky pinning Jericho was an interesting move, since there's not really anyone else lined up for Jericho right now a mini feud between PPVs could do a lot for Scorp.

I will say they're already definitely overdoing the wild brawl shit and lights going out shit. They've done both every week and did the lights out thing at least 3 times this week.

:lol at JR calling Full Gear "Fully Loaded" multiple times and then calling Jack Swagger and having to walk it back.
Are they just doing four PPVs a year?

The latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that WWE reportedly tried to help ACH before his recent issues went public. ACH said he was quitting the company because they were “racist” and the “old guard” was holding younger talent back.

At the time WWE tried to help him, he reportedly disappeared from Orlando. He ended up deleting his Twitter account after his public meltdown, but he has since restored it. WWE has yet to comment at all on the story, outside of a brief statement about the allegedly racist shirt that started everything. At the time, the shirt resembled blackface and ACH was very upset over it, although WWE pulled the design.

The Observer also notes that he has been in contact with a promotion about appearing, but there’s no word on whether or not he’s still under contract with WWE.

Finally, while ACH called “Jordan Myles” his slave name, it should be noted that he is the one who picked it out.

I wouldn't say it's good news but I can finally do the Kanyon Cutter Montage in HD and be completely and entirely done with the legacy of legitshook.com


Actually I really never watched any of the 2001 stuff. I think I never actually watched the last 2 WCW PPVs even while doing legitshook.


EDIT: Oh nevermind they finally updated their system so I can spam endless free trials :lol :camby

Nah. I made it all the way through 2000 once but I really don't remember anything from mid-summer on because I was drinking heavily getting through them. I just want to scrub through and get the Kanyon Cutters :jeb Luckily the gimmick only lasted like 2 months but they were stuck on mid 2000 for the longest time, I don't even know when they updated to even get to the end of the year. There's one surprise Kanyon Cutter in early 2001 long after the gimmick is dropped that I don't believe I included in the original video .

The fuck some of the camera angles are different on the Network versions than the original airings. I know sometimes they'll use a better angle if there is a botch or something that looks terrible in one angle and passable on another, but these are full blown completely different angles and in one case (a Kanyon Cutter to Judy Bagwell) one that wasn't even actually shown on TV that is now viewable on the Network only. Must have been some TBS editing thing because they all seem to be on Thunder.

It was a starving children joke, not a racist joke!


 :hitler



There's no way they don't replace Cornette at the next round of tapings. They've already had to put out 2 statements apologizing for his offensive comments. He's insinuated Thunder Rosa was a man and had an Adam's apple, numerous gay jokes, shitting on midgets, his way of putting over a woman's match was to say he normally doesn't give a shit about women's wrestling, now this. It's almost 2020, breh. I'm not surprised he would not even think about saying stuff like this, because that's his personality and he's always been like that as far back to the early 1980s, but I am surprised Billy Corgan and Dave Lagana would sit on this for weeks and weeks and not realize most of the shit he says won't fly these days, and especially keeping them in weeks after other complaints about other comments. These eps were all recorded in like...September.

So I scrubbed through for Kanyon Cutters but I actually put on the first Thunder of 2001 to actually watch and I have a few immediate thoughts


1. The Thunder theme goes hard as FUCK. What the fuck. Is that the actual theme or a dubbed piece?

2. The amount of pyro as the company was on death's door is insane. And for fucking Thunder.

3. They're in the Mid South Coliseum. A pretty famous venue for wrasslin. There are maybe 3000 people in it. The entire bowl is empty outside of a few smattering of people every hundred seats who probably got in for free or for less than $5. The whole audience is on the floor and risers. In fact it actually looks like it's only half the venue being used and it's still empty. Building literally sounds hollow. It's wild.

Oh wait this Thunder had an attendance of 2500, headlined by Sid vs Jarrett (both of whom had a long history in the area and venue, Jarrett especially). It was taped 2 weeks before it aired and still had multiple production errors. Also there was absolutely ZERO reaction to Double J. I've never heard a crowd so silent for a wrestler ever. Literal silence.

This also led me down the cagematch.net rabbit hole to see that Jeff Jarrett worked on a Zero 1 PPV in 2002.

Jarrett/Steve Corino vs King Adamo/King (Samoan) Joe
Alberto Del Rio/Deuce (when they were both still Jr. gimmicks) as a team
Nathan Jones
Future lame dad Frankie Kazarian
Two cages matches that sound like they were probably fake shoot fights

Yup, already said that- he is a Fox employee and contracted to appear on Backstage, which is not a WWE production despite having their talent on.  Just like the former Brodus Clay who pops up in Fox FS1 ads every now and then to advertise the show.

Punk mentioned that he hasn't even talked to any of the higher-ups in WWE.  So we're getting him being unfiltered on this show and already making the WWE performers visibly uncomfortable when he mentions how shitty the TV is.  :lol
