I’m inclined to say Triple H is better as a babyface, but that’s mostly because his 2002-04 reign of terror was so fucking unbearable.

The timing couldn’t have been better for NXT. AEW’s show ended on a time-limit draw on a hyped-up PPV-quality match that didn’t exactly send everyone home happy. Just as Dynamite went off the air and everyone changed the channel to USA, Roderick Strong retained the North American title, the UE comes into the ring to…

That’s easily the most realistic thing about these videos. 

Word is that the former developers from AKI, the studio that made the legendary WWF No Mercy for N64, are already in talks to develop an AEW game.

Aroldis Chapman is a pretty awful person on the Yankees too. He was even named in this very article.

It kinda made sense, Show was the only one who could’ve credibly taken the title off of Hall of Pain-era Mark Henry.

AEW is brand new, they just started their weekly TV show this month. Their whole M.O. seems to be substance over style and providing a genuine alternative to WWE, so if they convey that to the ex-AKI folks just right, a game could be a hit.

Big Show is a six-time world champion. I fucking wish Braun was part 2. He’s more like King Kong Bundy without the looming threat that he might actually win a championship.

I did the reactionary thing and cancelled after Hell in a Cell; partly because I need to save the money, partly for the reasons you laid out, and partly because holy shit do they need a time out after how that main event ended. I’ll tune back in for War Games and Survivor Series, and with any luck things will be on…

And New Japan DLC!

If I’m not mistaken, the rumor is that the former AKI folks have already been approached about a potential AEW game.

I hardly think someone as outwardly homophobic and anti-Semitic as Tyson Fury would be welcome in Saudi Arabia.

Given recent events, it seems like Arlington just really enjoys paying out the ass for baseball stadiums. 

Given his match with Jimmy Havoc last week, it looks like AEW is keen to showcase the deathmatch wrestlers on the show as actual WRESTLERS instead of keeping them around just as special attractions. That’s the right way to go about it; don’t have a dedicated hardcore division so much as a handful of guys you can…

Don’t count on it. Overwatch hasn’t gone cross-platform in three and a half years and probably still never will. 

We don’t want Philip Rivers getting too excited. He already has enough kids. 

I can’t believe the Irish would do such a horrible thing to people’s knees.

That’s a good point, they really only use transitional champions nowadays for a quick cash-in. The only good recent non-MITB examples I can think of are Alexa Bliss (between cashing in on Nia Jax and getting punked out by Ronda Rousey) and Randy Orton (taking the title off Bray Wyatt in a wet fart then suddenly losing…

I personally loved the “undisputed” design from 2002-05, the one that Lesnar, Eddie, and JBL had. Personal bias because I was glued to Smackdown every week during that era of my nascent wrestling fandom, but I think that design is severely underrated. It also helped seeing Lesnar, Angle, Undertaker, and Big Show…

Yup. What a tasteless joke that whole angle was, and (allegedly) the only reason Booker didn’t win that feud, which was explicitly drawn up to see him victorious, was because the company had finally signed Goldberg and decided he was gonna be the one to finally take the title off Triple H. For a month or two.
