Except for that one installment of Smackdown vs. Raw. 2005, I think. That was OBNOXIOUS. The titles could change hands that way, too. The heck?!?
I know exactly what you mean. Had a Triple Threat, ran to get a weapon, got it, and got DQ'd instantly. I believe there was an instance on that in Day Of Reckoning in a Fatal Four Way story mode as well.

Some good and bad news on the MJF contract talks front.
Bad news, he apparently hasn't re-signed with AEW, as previously reported.
Good news, MJF wants to stay with AEW. Right now, it seems very likely MJF will remain with AEW long-term.
Tony has done a good job keeping MJF happy. Given how important MJF is to the company, you can't complain too much about mismanagement.
As long as MJF stays, AEW will have a bright future.
In my opinion, any MJF talk of him leaving is nonsense. The man is a made man in AEW and the "bidding war" story imo is just that, a story. Unless he actually leaves, I'll eat my words, but otherwise any contract talks to me are meaningless. That's just my opinion though.

I'd agree, if the entire point is to put Cody over and be done with it. However it isn't. It's to elevate both of them. Nakamura has been doing a lot more promos and angles of late, more than he has done in years, he has a character development going on with his vicious side that cares about hurting rather than just winning. Winning is more or less a secondary thing as far as I'm concerned. For Cody, it's a challenge he wants to overcome and it got personal as of Monday. And plus while a normal "blow off" that would be a one off, a taste of what's to come that's *not* on the house show circuit, helps sells the final match.

I'd rather a intentional DQ finish, than 50/50 booking or having a pointless match at PPV where someone goes 2-0 over the other. An intentional DQ to me still gives the eventual loser an edge that their more vicious in their upcoming PPV match.

I've just discovered this and I've got to say, you are an artist. This is very well done and keep it going!

So Charlotte is legit injured and is pretty likely to miss Mania. Kind of a shame really, she was beginning to have a slight redemption. Saw some people actually liking her for once.

Yeah, AEW in general has gotten predictable with their booking, and it's become very apparent in the tournament. One of the things that really distinguished AEW from WWE in that first year is that there would be legitimate surprises. Like, when they announced Cody Rhodes vs. Darby Allin for their second show. "Let's see- the executive Vice President, or the indy guy I've never heard of? I wonder who's going to win that...?" And then, Darby wound up taking Cody to a draw, and fans were all "Whaaaaa...?"
They still pull out some shocking upsets from time to time, like when FTR lost the tag team championships, but those moments are few and far between now.
A time they surprised me was this classic thing, was Mark Briscoe getting eliminated in this tournament without getting a win. And while I still expect Briscoe to win at least one in his block, I would've thought they would give the impression he had a chance.

It is really surprising to me how many people would think that Punk would be the devil. Like, sure it would've been cool, but is it really something Punk is known for? To hide his identity while under a mask? To me no, he's a guy who would sooner cut a promo declaring it was him behind the whole thing rather than be the devil. Honestly the choices of the devil are there but it's either Jack Perry, who has justification by being the only one of the "four pillers" to be basically dunked on in that match and overlooked. Or Adam Cole for being someone who promised to get the world championship. I'm not sure there are better options, sans a debuting star.

Well the Devil is far less interesting now that Punk returned to WWE.
Adam Cole better not be the Devil at this point.
Who should it be now?

Honestly, this is quite unprecedented in my opinion. While people would like to say that The Bucks, Elite, Cody, what have you was the driving force for alternative in western wrestling. To me, it was Punk who was the driving force. His Pipebomb, the peek behind the curtain, the cry for an emphasis on wrestling rather than angles and sports entertainment, he was the strong driving force for that alternative. Sure, the Elite finalized it, and it formed into AEW, but Punk was the real initial force. And him leaving how he did, when he did, and how public it was just drove that dagger even more. Especially when time after time we heard how many times Punk hated WWE and would never go back no matter what, this truly proves "Never say never". And impossibility is just not real in wrestling. All time heals everything it seems.

EDIT: Add another one to the head injury count. I forgot the last thing I was going to say. My idiocy caused me to pick a bad example, but my point remains that gimmick quality and match quality are not a 1:1 thing.This is why in TEW we have gimmick ratings lol

Alright so I played around with the Bing AI and tried to recreate my favorite and personal stable.

"Rock King" Sammy Bach - Leader and world Champion
"Rock God" Alvarez

Collision & Rampage were fun. Spanish Fly spot was bad. It looks like a move that's easy to botch.
In other news Rousey debuted for ROH and will likely face Athena at Final Battle. I don't mind her as a wrestler but with the Sandy Hook and transphobic comments it's not good optics, especially right after signing Flair.
The signing of Ronda is a terrible idea. Even in a ROH level. The type of person Ronda is, is someone nobody should want on their roster. She showed her colors after she lost her first MMA fight. She knew in wrestling she could get away with winning more and she really leans into the whole "It's who you know" attribute and yeah, those previous comments she said are looking even worse as time passes.

I really want to give this thing a shot, if anybody can, I would love some programs to be recommended.

It all seems that Roman can't even win clean anymore, and its very tiresome. The thing is we all know he is capable of winning alone, but the continuing trend is, babyface gets good run, Roman does Roman things, babyface gets close to win, Solo and Jimmy prove the difference, babyface loses, status quo remains.
Its maddening and all kinda ruins the flow. What really needs to happen is the collapse of the Bloodline where its just Roman and Paul Heyman. When that happens, nobody will ever beat Roman for his belt.

That feud with American Top Team/Scorpio Sky was awful for everyone involved. Sammy and Tay got the spot that was supposed to be for Cody and Brandi (these two were really something else huh) and the whole program brought everyone down. Tay went from a badass judo black belt to a bad valet. They should not have been paired on screen IMO.
Sadly it's probably their choice because they are a couple. And while fine on the surface, its even worse when Sammy had a fiance and proposed to her on AEW TV. Which was a great heartfelt moment. And was a moment that led to believability that Sammy is an alright guy. Then... The videos of him and Tay being suspiciously close. So close that they eventually became a couple that rubbed everybody in the wrong way. And yeah you're right, they should be separated on screen, but they won't. And I'll never understand why TK is sooo in love with them and their pairing.
I truly think the worst thing about Sammy is he does act like a prima donna HBK. Thing is, guy has it made and he knows it. He acts like he can do anything and fans see it and hear about it. Fans want to see him get humbled, despite him having a good amount of tremendous matches, it still doesn't erase the feel he hasn't earned any of it. Because he keeps getting into incidents involving other wrestlers that fans like more, like Eddie Kingston or Andrade, and in those cases Sammy gets away unscathed (mostly). That's what bothers me the most. The only time he's had to answer for something was what he said in the past about Mercedes Mone, and even then I still don't believe he's sincere or have learned.

Sammy Guevara is born and bleeding a heel. Despite everything he does and how talented he is, he is a heel. To me, he's reached X-Pac go away heat. He is immensely talented, but he runs people badly, is involved in some rough incidents and is heavily protected. It's annoying and until he does a Jack Perry, or CM Punk, he'll always be in AEW.

Except ya know, being a legend. Sure that doesn't add a dang thing. Absolutely pointless to hire one of the biggest names in wrestling history.
🙄
If you don't understand hiring legends to help your brand, than I don't know what to tell you.
Except to your exception is, he's the wrong kind of legend. Let me explain.
Flair is indeed a wrestling legend. There is no doubt or discussion about it. But, he is the type of legend that has some of the worst kind of allegations against him, which paints him in a negative light. He also has well past his expiration date of relevance. Especially after he said he WANTS to have another match! At HIS AGE!! I won't say he's like Hogan, but he is his own cloud of bad.

You need to go into the editor real quick and add a L between Samuel and Jackson. And just for him forever have the Hot New Catchphrase. You know what it is, I know what it is, just for him he needs it.

Here's another idea I tried back on EWR, MDickie world mod. For those of you who have played an MDickie wrestling game, you know what I'm talking about. I think it can still work with 2020 pretty easy.

Maybe the reason it's taking Thunder Rosa so long to be medically cleared is because she's seen how the division is being booked. "Oh, um, doctor, I just developed this cough. Cough. Hack...."
Reminder: She went into TK's office before Collision was set to debut. Thunder Rosa never came out.

Gonna second Jaysin on Arkham City being amazing. 10/10. Would 100% again. Really, the only outright bad game in the series IMO is Arkham Origins - Blackgate. The Arkham formula does not work in 2.5D.
It feels so weird being seemingly one of the only people enjoying Starfield. I think I've made my hatred of Bethesda and Todd Howard clear on here, but Starfield has been a fun chillout game for me. By no means is it a great game or "the least buggy game Bethesda's ever made" like some Microsoft exec tried to claim, but it scratches some itch in my stupid ape brain that keeps me playing.I love Starfield I think it's great. And the twists it actually has is pretty respectable. I however only have it on Xbox so I'm patiently waiting for mod support, which I know is already awesome, but it will make an already great game into an even better one imo.

TNA, Impact, TNMpact, its all the same to me. Especially since they already said their not bringing back the 6 sided ring.

It maybe me, but I don't see the character development, or storyline progression, with Skye Blue, or anyone for that matter, becoming heel because they got sprayed with mist. Like, why does it have to be the mist to explain why Skye is turning heel? Why not she just go heel due to all the lack of wins as a good girl? Really shouldn't take Julia Hart to spray her with the same thing that made her go bad. That, and I don't see the upside to Skye Blue who has more marketability as a babyface to go heel at this point. Would be better if she beats out the mist crap and stays true to being a good person. That is character. Not becoming a HoB member.
