The opening promo from Adam Copeland on this week’s #AEWDynamite was weird and felt forced. Him doing a pump up speech about how great/fun #AEW is after Punk’s recent comments just felt minor league. Then later on the same show they book an all-time awful match where Jay White gets beat up by Billy Gunn of all people for like 15 minutes straight then it ends in a DQ. Jay White’s run in AEW has been absolutely criminal.
@timbowman I couldn't agree more...and their show hasn't been exactly "must-see TV" lately. Like I don't want blood for the sake of blood, make it mean something. Make it mean someone is getting their ass whooped. Having Texas deathmatches on weekly TV doesn't really make much sense....😬🤦♂️
I really want them to be and do good. They're just having a hard time understanding what Professional Wrestling is all about.
There's no super good "must-see" storylines. The Christian Cage/Copeland angle was good and the Swerve storyline is 🆗 but nothing is like Cody/Rock and Roman right now.
Not gonna lie, it's gonna be a LITTLE weird seeing Lil Wayne perform at Wrestlemania....also basically won't be able to watch his performance without my dad making comments about rap music...🤦♂️
So....rumor is, WWE will be getting "Extreme" when they move to Netflix....😁😅
ECW is coming back apparently with an "MMA style" approach and of course being more edgy. This has been hinted at recently with the new "era" talk from Triple H and all the cursing/blood lately.
I'm excited as hell tbh. This is going to test if Paul Heyman can still book things as good as he used to....🤣
One more post for Trans Day of Visibility, an assortment of wrestlers and refs who are trans, non binary, gender queer. Wrestling will always be my first love to photograph and as a trans photographer, it's always great to be accepted and trusted to shoot these moments
I REALLY wish Tony Khan would stop tweeting nonsense drama. It makes it hard to watch the show every week. Especially considering that their shows aren't that interesting...🤦♂️
One thing I don't see WWE do that I see AEW doing is Picture-in-Picture during commercials. It's SO neat to be able to still be able to see the match if they have to go to a commercial. Kinda makes me feel like I'm getting screwed cause "we gotta get our money, so fuck you".🤷♂️ 🤦♂️
Yeah, and I've set up and tore down this stage with my own two hands
We've traveled this land packed tight in minivans
And all this for the fans, girls, money and fame
I played their game
And as they scream my name
I will show no shame
I live and die for this
And if I come off soft then chew on this!
Are you scared?
Seems like @squaredcircle lives on in the Mastodon side of the Fediverse? I thought Lemmy didn't federate outside of Lemmy and Kbin instances, but apparently that's changed! Let's see how this implementation goes.
Some of you may be aware that I also cover professional #wrestling - that weird wonderful sport-art where the industry has a history of abuse and workers are largely non-unionised - from a "leftist" angle, via @theleftfist but I'm aware it's best to stick to smaller servers that are part of the #FediPact. Perhaps I could shift it to Todon.nl if @admin would have it? What say you, anticapitalist and antifascist #ProWrestling fans here on the Todon severs (and beyond)? https://linktr.ee/theleftfist
