    Oh, yeah, she's got a terrific look. She's also subpar in the ring and on the mic. That makes her little different from all the big fellas Vince tried to hot-shot to the main event picture over the years unsuccessfully. I'll admit she has a knack for getting herself over, but that usually comes at the expense of other workers. Two and a half years in AEW and the only one who benefited from Jade Cargill's massive push was... Cargill.

    There's wrestling hyperbole, and then there's just flat-out bull *STEAM WHISTLE*. Unless the talent in question is eating up nearly an entire division for a year and then flitting off to greener pastures once you realize you have to start putting people over.
  3. Matt_Black
    Jade Cargill is a "Once In A Lifetime Generational Talent"?!?

    Being drafted ahead of AJ Styles.
  5. Matt_Black
    Nia Jax, though?
  6. Matt_Black
    The #1 contender for the Universal Title wasn't drafted until Round 4!

    Oh, well since the WWE always learns their lesson... Like the time they tried to put Batista, fresh off his success in Hollywood, into the main event of Wrestlemania and were shocked that the fans turned on him. It's a good thing they never tried anything like that again!

    A) People paid to see last night's show, or do you think that the WWE gives away all those tickets? B) The WWE can and has had "no-disqualification" matches end in disqualification, like they did for 2 years running at Hell In A Cell.

    For the second week in a row, a match with Naomi ends in... a disqualification.

    He's going full Kaufman.

    I think may favorite thing about this whole storyline is how, when it started, it looked like Stokeley was there to break-up Kris and Willow, and instead they went with Willow being just SO DARN POSITIVE that Stoke's heart grew three sizes, so much so that he apologized to Eddie Kingston for saying he smelled like Burger King & Newports. Now, they need to deliver on that promise of Copeland versus Willow, so she can become the unified Turner Networks champion!

    L.A. Knight, the WWE's breakout star of 2023, is 41 years old. Age is definitely an issue in AEW, but I think they're prepping younger guys faster than the WWE is.
  13. Matt_Black
    Which match specifically?
  14. Matt_Black
    Yeah. While not the big powerhouse like Nia Jax, Piper Niven, or Jade Cargill, Charlotte is bigger than the average competitor in the women's division, and it doesn't look like she's trying to give them a hug.

    No stories or purpose? I think that's an unfair criticism, considering there were quite a few matches last night that were built up story-wise. Now, someone might not LIKE all the particular stories (Roderick Strong vs. Kyle O'Reilly- the bland guy who was in NXT vs the bland guy who was in NXT!), but that's a separate issue.
  16. Matt_Black
    Ricky Starks' spear tends to look pretty good, on average, given his size.

    Can't be any worse than Edge's. One WhatCulture guy (not Simon) once described it as something like "tenderly embracing his opponent before gently lowering them to the ground."

    Lashley isn't supposed to be entertaining. He should be booked to go out there and wreck people.
  19. Matt_Black
    "Angry Adam, the Mad King, and the Chicken... That sounds like one of Chaucer's tales!"
  20. Matt_Black
    What I'd like to know is, why not Lashley? He can work face or heel, he's a guy who can have solid good matches with just about anyone, and I'd say he does have a bit of credibility (the Karrion Kross vortex of suck notwithstanding).

    Like I said, it SHOULD matter. Just like championships SHOULD matter, but every now and then you get a title hot potatoe'd or they put the belt on someone who is clearly not at that level (by the way, good luck in your free agency, Jinder Mahal!), and so forth. For L.A, Knight, winning Act I of whatever isn't all that. Mania should be the blow-off. If Styles vs. Knight keeps going well beyond that, then that's a misstep on Triple H's part, in my opinion.
  22. Matt_Black
    It was billed as a tag match, Jones was involved (albeit very briefly), it counts. And Mania SHOULD matter, but that's up to the booking.
  23. Matt_Black
    It wasn't the blow-off match, it wasn't for a title, then no it doesn't really mean anything. So it was at Mania. So what? Here's a brief list of other people who have won at Wrestlemania- Men On A Mission Nathan Jones Snooki Michael Cole.
  24. Matt_Black
    No, I get the story. It's just a bad story. I could explain the plot of Red Zone Cuba, that isn't going to magically turn it into Citizen Kane.
  25. Matt_Black
    So what you're saying is that if they run it back again, then the win at Mania did not in fact mean anything.
