From what i can see theyre gonna let Cena beat Lesnar on this because its his retirement tour.Jon Cena vs Brock Lesnar ok. I'm curious if Lesnar will be the end of Cena?
If you are willing to go back a bit in time, the AJW stuff from the mid-80s into the late 90s is pretty great stuff. Sometimes a little weapon-heavy at times, but sometimes even that is fun. Bull and Aja battling and their crazy cage stuff. Akira Hokuto v Manami Toyota might still be the best women's match ever, but it's a different thing now so I could see people not agreeing nowadays. But there's lots of fun stuff. Devil Masami was still powerbombing people back then, good times.
Waoh, those are interesting recs. I’ll give ‘em a shot, thanks!
Eh, I think modern wrestling just isn't that fun to watch or talk about. Or at least, I don't really get much fun out of it anymore. I couldn't tell you who is doing what in either AEW or WWE at the moment because I haven't kept up for a little while now

But I've already seen Great Khali's run in NJPW

A lot of fair and valid critiques here. I agree.Here's another incoming rant, feel free to ignore it LOL
What annoys me is the sense that AEW and WWE are just set in their ways. As long as they have a core fanbase who pore enough money into both companies to keep them afloat, they will never try to change or improve in any way. Both companies are just coasting right now. They're not putting any real effort into anything. The talent are busting their asses, but people at the top like Triple H and Tony Kahn don't care and are putting the bare minimum amount of effort into everything that they do. And as is the case with everything in entertainment today, the problems are always at the top. Things have gotten worse in WWE since the TKO merger as the company just gets more and more corporate feeling every day. And while many people hated Vince McMahon, he at least had some unpredictability. Triple H's booking is so predictable it's ridiculous. I actually miss the crazy old man known as Vince McMahon.
Tony Kahn's not much better. His booking in AEW is stale as shit. His women's division has been dominated by two women for what feels like an eternity now in Mercedes Monet and Toni Storm. Toni Storm has been doing a jobber, joke gimmick and yet AEW made her their top woman. And on the other side is Mercedes with the TBS title who has had possibly the worst run of her entire pro wrestling career since arriving in AEW. And Tony Kahn just now put the women's title on Kris Statlander, who is an absolute nobody.
I miss DMD and Shida. Britt Baker is where AEW's women's division peaked and Shida was like the best joshi they had.
I can't speak to AEW as I haven't seen a ton of it, but I'm with you on the WWE merger. At some point the focus of the presentation shifted from "oh my god HHH attacked Randy Orton in his home" to "look at how much money we make. Did you know we made a lot of money? We made a lot of money" and the advertising on the ring and stuff is just ridiculous. I don't watch outside of the occasional clip, but there was a thing a little while back where Cena sat on the turnbuckle and aped Punk's pipebomb promo after putting Punk through a table; it was done in such a way that while Punk laid there selling for like 11 minutes (was he dead?), the angle was set so you could see SLIM JIM on the table the whole time. It feels lazy and forced and didn't make me want to buy a slim jim. Why would I want to eat a thing that's gonna make me feel like a guy who laid there dead for an hour?
Funny how this particular year was the catalyst for everything wrong with wwe today, like over reliance on mid carders (while somehow mis-managing them)
I can barely stick watching smackdown and it used to be my favourite at weekends
I did try watching Wrestlemania this year, but the advertising killed it for me. I turned off after the first 3 matches.
I seen that one because TKO thinks the audience are 5 year olds lol
Yeah, the Network was amazing for non-WWE stuff that they owned the rights to. ECW, WCW, older territory stuff. Nowadays, it just seems to be WWE & NXT on Netflix
im definitely binning my netflix now to survivor series the war games should be 100% this year
