And he totally killed it! Could've done without 2 (basically) identical finishes though. Don't get me started on Jade. I thought Willow might actually get the win. As much as I respect Vicky, I could go the rest of my life without hearing "Excuse me!!" in the voice of a shrieking monkey again.

I'm pretty sure Mox won't get paid for that trios match because he didn't bleed.

On a somewhat similar topic. I think AEW had and still has a great tag team division if compared to other companies. On a Grilling JR podcast, he talked about how he doesn't think Vince was into Tag Teams as much as building individual stars. I definitely agree with that. Besides the late 80's-early 90's, WWF/E has not had a strong tag division of 'teams'. I'm talking teams with matching or complimenting styles and matching gear. It seems Vince would sort of play the spaghetti game of throwing it against the wall and see what sticks. I mean, I get that eventually teams grow apart, but you have to plan for that and keep new ones waiting in the wings. Bret outgrew The Anvil. Dynamite Kid was not the best backstage presence and eventually had to be let go, giving The Bulldog a chance to go on to better things. Billy Gunn was obviously more talented than Bart. Anyway, too much WWF/E talk in the AEW thread. Right now in AEW, you have The Acclaimed who make perfect comedy champs, but can still put on great matches. Swerve In Our Glory (who have been rumored to be splitting). Lucha Bros. FTR. 2Point0. Private Party. House of Black. One of the most underrated tag teams in The Butcher & The Blade. I love how all these teams have similar or complimentary styles and matching gear. Beyond talent, those are key elements in a star tag team.

yeah

Hager has evolved! He really likes that purple hat!!

As much as I want to like Kingston, I just can't get into him.

Reminds of a guy in my real world mods. I think he is in AAA as Black Taurus

I caught Adam and Britt on an episode of Bar Rescue with that obnoxious jerk of a host. They were so nice and friendly. They played the recon couple to go in and check it out before the host came in to surprise them. I really find it hard to believe that nobody in the bar recognized them. They didn't do anything to change their looks except for street clothes.

There is truth to that. However, he was fairly candid with this guy. I went back and watched it again. He is very articulate and has a huge knowledge of the business. It really seemed like MJF has a true hatred for NJPW. "Dog s***" is his exact words. He was upset with Okada getting #2 in the PWI Top 500. He says the only guy he likes in NJPW is "Killer Khan" which I'm pretty sure he's referring to Great O-Khan. He has great taste. O-Khan is one of my favs too. Great interview with MJF (PS...Adam, I know I've been warned, but I don't think this violates copyright at all. If you are uncomfortable with it in any way, please feel free to edit it, no hard feelings bud.)

I'm not taking any stance. But it definitely elevated MJF to a higher status. Deservedly so. On a somewhat different topic. I watched an interview with MJF recently. He said he is open to going anywhere that offers him the most money when his AEW contract is up. However, he made it absolutely clear he will not go to NJPW! Anybody got any light to shed on that situation? I would love to see him with the talent that is there. I think it has to do with Okada being the "Ace" after all these years and not pushing many others. I also think NJPW would stifle him a little bit as well, as they hardly ever do promos, except for the end of the night interview with the main event winner. Him not getting mic time on a regular basis kind of kills his ego vibe. Although Will Ospreay still comes off with a similar persona and does just fine. So I don't know. I think it is harder for an established star, especially American, that has not been in New Japan to carry over. Even some stars who have been there in the past are struggling to get over again. *cough* Good Brothers *cough*

hair vs. hair!!!!

Oh yeah, I forgot. We are beneath you. We must marvel at your ass-holinesss. Bow Down. 🙏 🙏 🙏

Makhai likes to stir the pot. Don't let it get under your skin.

Does Moxley have to bleed in EVERY match? Is it like a contract stipulation or something? So sick of Moxley

The rug really does tie the room together! 🤣 🤣 🤣

Three hour pre-show might be the culprit. My backstage environments seem better without it. Makes sense too. You got your whole roster sitting there waiting to fight each other. Some don't want to wait.

Did anyone watch Burning Spirit last night?? Awesome show. Main event David Finlay Jr vs. Will Ospreay for the US Title! Definitely could be in the running for match of the year! They put on a 30 minute clinic in wrestling and story-telling. I never thought much of Finlay Jr., but this much certifies him as a top wrestler in the biz. Even Ospreay praised him after the match in the backstage promo to close the show. I don't think I've ever heard him compliment anyone other than himself or the rest of United Empire. Also, a turn happened and the crowd loved it! I don't want to spoil anything. It was one of the loudest reactions I've heard from a 'no cheering rule' crowd. Must see!

It's been a long time since I've booked a survivor series match. I know the road agent notes change for battle royals to allow you to say who has most eliminations, who is runner up, who are finalists, etc. So it may be possible. If it's not in the road agent notes, maybe ask Adam in the TEW suggestions thread. I have no knowledge of coding or programming, but it might be easy to add that into an update. Only other suggestion I would have...It's less control, but maybe say you only want 3 of the 5 to survive. Do a victor note for those 3 guys. Maybe try putting a loss note in the order you want the guys to be eliminated. Not sure if that would work, but it's worth a try since you want all 5 of them to lose anyway. TBH, I used to let the AI decide survivor series matches, it would teach me a little more about who is better than who.

I like the idea, but I'm curious why they look kinda deformed. Or is my eye sight getting that bad?

It's a compressed file like a .zip file. (Multiple files inside one file). You need Winzip or Winrar (I recommend Winrar, it's still fully useable after the trial period). Windows won't open .rar files, like it does for .zip files. A quick google search should get you the link.

What are your backstage rules? You got them waiting in a locked dog kennel until it's their turn to wrestle?

Not Russo enough. LOL. Everyone loves an underdog. Go for it!

I could be wrong. Like I said, I haven't followed NOAH too much. Just going mostly on what I have read about them. According to the ratings on cagematch, it does seem the fan ratings have been declining over the most recent events.

They call it Odo, or Royal Road with Ark. Nowadays, NOAH is right up there underneath NJPW. NOAH uses stars like AEW does. That meaning they have their own roster but also use workers from other companies, even AJPW. I have a feeling this is why NJPW is now "lending out" workers to AEW and ROH to compete in that aspect with NOAH. In Japan, it kind of seems like the equivalent to USA is NJPW = WWE and NOAH = AEW. I know I shouldn't compare because all 4 companies are their own entities with their own charms and faults. However, if I were explaining Japan wrestling to a casual American viewer, that is how I would explain it. I haven't watched much NOAH, but the recent stuff I have seen is more in line with Puro style.
