[Jordan]

Well HOLY shit at Joey vs Kenny on AEW Dark. Easily the best AEW match since Dustin and Cody. Awesome fuckin' show.

[Tom Guycott]

You spelt "Painmaker" wrong, you idiot! :read in Jericho's voice:

[GD]

lol...I’ve been working overtime

[Evil Vito]

Wednesdays rule!

[Triple A]

Weird to feel excited to watch a wrestling show...

[rez]

What time is NXT on

[Emperor Smeat]

No Luchasaurus on tonight's show since he supposedly suffered a hamstring injury recently.

According to PW Insider's Mike Johnson, Luchasaurus has an injured hamstring and is out of Wednesday's tag team championship tournament match on AEW Dynamite.

Filling in to team with Jungle Boy is fellow Jurassic Express member Marko Stunt. The duo will face the Lucha Bros (Pentagon Jr and Fenix) in a first round bout.

[Dark One]

LET'S GO

Excited to watch a show that actually promoted matches a week in advance.

Meanwhile in WWE, Raw spent two draft picks on a tag team when they could have drafted them as a team... and then "traded" them to Smackdown for "future considerations" (which is almost certainly going to be "nothing" and never mentioned again).

[slik]

I am a big fan of Luchasaurus and Jungle Boy!

Rooting for JUNGLE EXPRESS to have a great AEW Dynamite debut!

[GD]

Damn, what happened? Poor kid crying.

[Dark One]

Having him in sneakers and taping himself up during the other team's entrance is a great way to actually sell the unexpectedness.

[GD]

Melon!

[Dark One]

Damn, what happened? Poor kid crying.

Lucha Bros killed the dude from the Waterworld show.

[Emperor Smeat]

Pretty interesting start to the show.

[slik]

PANDA MONIUM to start the show

[Evil Vito]

Best Friends :heart:

[rez]

weeee

[ClockShot]

SCU vs. Lucha Bros. should be a fun feud once the tag tournament wraps up.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Scorpio Sky wrestling with just 1 shoe on.

[Triple A]

Hoping the Mossad stops moving furniture back and forth upstairs soon so I can enjoy the rest of the show and feel calm!

[GD]

Lucha Bros killed the dude from the Waterworld show.

F

[ClockShot]

:lol:

They throw the shoe back.

[GD]

Wow! This crowd is mental...

[slik]

This crowd is on fire!

[Emperor Smeat]

:eek: Sky denying the Best Friends their contractual 1 hug moment per match.

[GD]

Trent has one of my favorite wrestling-related videos of all time

[Emperor Smeat]

SCU vs Best Friends was very good overall. AEW on a role these past few weeks with quality opening matches.

[Evil Vito]

SCU/Lucha Brothers might end up being the finals

[Dark One]

SCU/Lucha Brothers might end up being the finals

I think that's probably the best of the possible options

[Evil Vito]

Jobber team alert!

[slik]

This show is so easy to watch

[Evil Vito]

Wonder if that John Silver guy has a long penis.

[Dark One]

Some jobbers about to die by the looks of it.

[slik]

Scorpio Sky trending worldwide on Twitter

[ClockShot]

Proud & Powerful?

I guess.....it can work.

[Evil Vito]

Heh, jobber team is actually an established indy team. The Beaver Boys in PWG/CZW.

[Dark One]

Wow! This crowd is mental...

This crowd is on fire!

Philly loves their wrestling when it's not a joke.

[Triple A]

Ortiz acting more calm and "less insane" this week, not doing the "chewing his tongue" thing

[GD]

Remember being very high on LAX back in the day...

[GD]

Ortiz acting more calm and "less insane" this week, not doing the "chewing his tongue" thing

How did you feel about Balor sticking out his tongue while he was doing the Demon gimmick?

[Dark One]

Ortiz acting more calm and "less insane" this week, not doing the "chewing his tongue" thing

And now he's chewing on the ring rope. YOU DID THIS

[Triple A]

Did Ortiz always wrestle with those shoes that are shaped like feet...

[GD]

lmao Ortiz chewing the rope

[rez]

The chewing the rope doesn't bother me...Inner Circle last week when he chewed on his tongue the whole time was annoying.

[rez]

Nice touch with Jericho up on the jumbotrons

[Evil Vito]

That was what it needed to be. Not every match needs to be competitive.

[Emperor Smeat]

Young Bucks vs Not LAX should be great at Full Gear.

Cody in an isolation tank...

[GD]

"the other place"

[Dark One]

The biggest advantage WWE has always had over any other competitor has been their productions/video packages.

The Nightmare Family shit that Cody's put together to do these packages have totally neutralized that advantage.

[Evil Vito]

This is a cool segment but Brandi kinda sucks at acting

[rez]

Vince texting DDP right now telling him DDP Yoga is FIRED

[Emperor Smeat]

Pretty great hype video for Cody's upcoming AEW title match.

[ClockShot]

Good segment.

On par with what WWE can churn out with stuff like that.

[GD]

Frank motherfuckin' Thomas! :love:

[Dark One]

Bucks vs SANTORTIZ
Cody vs Jericho
Kenny vs Mox

I am pretty sure those three matches are enough to get me to shell out for a full priced PPV. What a world we live in.

[slik]

nugenix

[rez]

Cody and Brandi are the cutest couple since Jennifer Aniston/Brad Pitt.

[Dark One]

Frank motherfuckin' Thomas! :love:

Do you think Cody has considered Nugenix in preparation for his title match?

[GD]

That piano fade in was hella corny. Not to mention that Ford product placement.

Would be cool to see her as champion in Pittsburgh.

[Dark One]

Going for LOCK JAW?!

THE ANONYMOUS RAW GM IS ALL ELITE

[Dark One]

Britt Botcher

Who would have thought that only wrestling part time for four years total wouldn't make you the best in the world.

[rez]

Slik just wants a root canal from Dr. Baker

[Emperor Smeat]

Britt Botcher

Wonder if its a mix of the pressure of trying to live up to her status as AEW's 1st women's signing and the lack of in-ring work these past few months.

Also Kylie Rae's sudden departure which likely threw a huge wrench in AEW's initial plans for the division.

[slik]

neither aew or nxt trending worldwide in top 20 trends

[Mr. Nerfect]

That’s not a good excuse for being shit or being featured in a prominent position, lol. If you’re not that good, go get better.

Lol, that’s some butterfly effect of releasing Kylie Rae.

That was a nice finish

Not familiar with her work before AEW, but the things I've heard about that time was "average"

Probably not just a recent part-timer thing.

[Emperor Smeat]

Wonder if TPWW's Lock Jaw gets any royalties from Brit Baker's finisher.

Women's title match was decent to good overall.

[Evil Vito]

Riho is so good

[slik]

lock jaw masturbating 2 riho r/n

[Evil Vito]

Weird that Britt named her finisher after the greatest General Manager in the history of Monday Night Raw

[Dark One]

That’s not a good excuse for being shit or being featured in a prominent position, lol. If you’re not that good, go get better.

Bruh, that wasn't an excuse.

[Triple A]

Britt Baker has beautiful large eyes like an Arab princess!!!!

[GD]

Going to listen to Riho's theme on repeat.

[Evil Vito]

Britt Baker has beautiful large eyes like an Arab princess!!!!

Adam Cole sees them staring at him during head

I'll never know how that fat bastard got so lucky :nono:

[Emperor Smeat]

Not familiar with her work before AEW, but the things I've heard about that time was "average"

Probably not just a recent part-timer thing.

Yeah that seems to be the consensus online when it came to her hiring. It wasn't a terrible signing but she's someone that needs a year or more to build into potential top star status instead of being near it like she is now.

AEW signing upper tier women was always going to be an issue due to WWE's hoarding ways and the pool for quality women wrestlers being a lot more shallow compared to men at least in the US indies.

[Dark One]

Marko Stunt's match graphic picture should just be the top half of his face peeking in from the bottom of the screen.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Adam Cole is really good.

[slik]

Let's go Jungle Boy, heal up Luchasaurus!

[Dark One]

Lucha Bros looking like Power Rangers: Samurai.

[GD]

Adam Cole is really good.

He's a fat piece of shit.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Interesting to see what the quarters are like for Marko Stunt. It didn’t go well for Havoc and Allin from the “geek show” segment of the roster last week (dropped about 200k viewers).

[Mr. Nerfect]

He's a fat piece of shit.

What’s your problem with him? He’s not defined, but I wouldn’t say fat. Got a swimmer’s build. Should probably wear longer tights when wrestling.

[GD]

Vince or Paul would never get behind a fat POS like him

Love Marko Stunt.

[GD]

There's no way Lucha Bros. lose this match.

[Triple A]

This is great, Marko Stunt rules

[rez]

Marko kinda looks like Pauly Shore circa Son in Law

[Dark One]

This is great, Marko Stunt rules

He dead now though. His soul got superkicked into the shadow realm.

I actually liked for a while when they were calling him Jungle Jack Perry. Sounds way better than Jungle Boy.

JR just called him Jungle Jack lol

[slik]

This is a fun match!

[Emperor Smeat]

Jungle Express vs Lucha Bros was pretty good overall.

Surprised no SCU shenanigans happened.

[Evil Vito]

Unrelated - so fucking cold in my living room. #NoHeatTilTrickOrTreat

[GD]

Quality bout.

[Evil Vito]

This tag match is gonna rule ass

[Evil Vito]

Excalibur made a reference to Tim Robinson's I Think You Should Leave. I love him even more now.

[Dark One]

HE IS A... BAAAASTARD

[Dark One]

JYYYYEEAAAAAAAAAH MOXLEY

[GD]

Jyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan Moxley!

[Dark One]

NJPW and AEW need to kiss and make up so Moxley can have his Death Rider theme in AEW

[slik]

lotta tag bouts today but I am ok with it

[Emperor Smeat]

Show flew by really fast if they are already at the main event like JR said with around 45 minutes left.

[Evil Vito]

lotta tag bouts today but I am ok with it

It’s very NJPW-like. I dig it.

[GD]

Jameela Jamil is mighty foine!

[Emperor Smeat]

Nevermind, just remembered Jericho vs Darby hasn't happened yet. Weird slip up made by JR.

[rez]

Jameela Jamil is mighty foine!

Yeah, she's basically why I watch "The Good Place" once in a while.

[Triple A]

Unrelated - so fucking cold in my living room. #NoHeatTilTrickOrTreat

Same... I have a space heater though! Warm...

[GD]

Yeah, she's basically why I watch "The Good Place" once in a while.

That show is pretty entertaining tbh

[rez]

That show is pretty entertaining tbh

Yep...I'm pretty far behind. Need to binge.

[Dark One]

I do not like Kenny's theme.

[Evil Vito]

Same... I have a space heater though! Warm...

I wish I had one of those. Hardly worth it with how warm it gets once I actually do turn the heat on though. Just gotta tough it out through October.

Fucking expensive ass electric heat.

[rez]

I still can't believe how well AEW has transitioned from PPV to a weekly show...just unreal

[Triple A]

I wish I had one of those. Hardly worth it with how warm it gets once I actually do turn the heat on though. Just gotta tough it out through October.

Fucking expensive ass electric heat.

It was like $30 so I think it is worth it! My apt's heat works like shit though

[Evil Vito]

Nice touch: Moxley and Omega's W-L records listed on their name chevrons omitted their Janela matches because they were unsanctioned. More attention to detail.

[Dark One]

Same... I have a space heater though! Warm...

I'm assuming this is a barrel fire you took from the alley between your building and the Bosnian Social Club.

Damn! that Hangman fall. Youch

My thermometer readings just mean jack shit. I've set it to like 60 when I'm heading to work because I don't need the heat cranking for 10 hours when I'm not there. Sometimes I get home and it's like 55 degrees in my living room, other times it's 70. Very inconsistent.

Insulation in my condo isn't great downstairs but upstairs gets very toasty.

PAC not a fan of deathmatch wrestling it seems.

[slik]

Pac cut his finger on the barbed wire

[Emperor Smeat]

Hangman/Omega vs PAC/Moxley was great.

Been a pretty great night for tag wrestling.

[Evil Vito]

PAC finally loses but it's because Mox fucked him over. Nice.

[rez]

That was an awesome match

[Triple A]

Nice

[Dark One]

PAC not a fan of deathmatch wrestling it seems.

"Wins mattering" makes that make sense. PAC wants to win because money/record. Moxley just wants to hurt people because he's nuts. Matches hypothetically having stakes lets them underscore character traits. WILD.

[slik]

Moxley/Pac vs Hangman/Omega was my favorite tag match of the night

[GD]

PAC loses for the first time in AEW

Join us in 2019 and get a Nest or something.

[Evil Vito]

PAC vs Moxley next week :cool:

[Dark One]

Whoa whoa whoa whoa

They're announcing matches and segments for next week? But... what if they tear the script up?

[slik]

I don't expect him to win but I'm a big fan of Darby Allin

Hoping to see the Coffin Drop tonight

[Evil Vito]

I wonder if W-L records will "reset" at Double or Nothing next year, akin to starting a new season.

[Emperor Smeat]

PAC vs. Moxley next week should be great.

Really enjoy how AEW has done their tag tournament soo far. If this was WWE, every match would have been the usual heel vs. face making it way too obvious the results for certain matches. AEW's tournament has been more like how NJPW runs their tournaments with caring more about entertaining matchups and not forcing a heel-face aspect into every match.

[Helmsphere]

225 lbs my ass. Jericho was more built in WWE and was 227 lbs

[slik]

Jericho's got that whole 80's Rocker who partied his ass off vibe going

Nice... Darby gonna wrestle with his arms taped...

[Evil Vito]

Did not make a NXT thread for this week. Probably going to skip RAW and SD weekly threads as well.

I'm DVR'ing NXT to watch tomorrow or Friday but that's the extent of WWE programming for me. Main roster shit is just not worth the time investment.

[Evil Vito]

Darby Allin is a fucking star

[Dark One]

Asai Moonsault with his hands taped behind his back? Eat your heart out orange cassidy.

[Dark One]

Sommersault plancha through the ropes with his hands taped behind his back.

This dude about to be full dead.

[rez]

Aubrey might be the best ref currently in wrestling.

She's not old or fat so she has that going for her

[slik]

Darby is a star

[Dark One]

How the fuck did the conversation go for this match.

"Yeah, dude, just tape my hands behind my back and I'm going to plancha and do high spots for the next few minutes."

"You--What motherfucker"

[Emperor Smeat]

Ouch at Darby's back. At least it wasn't the thumb tacked skateboard from All Out.

[Sepholio]

r they gonna get over run time :O

[GD]

Fun show. Wasn't a drag like this week's RAW.

[rez]

Like hearing "Lion Tamer" again.

[Emperor Smeat]

Darby vs Jericho was pretty good overall.

In a few weeks, AEW has managed to make Darby look like a potential big star of the future than WWE has done in months to their younger stars on the main roster.

This week's show was pretty entertaining overall. I'd give it 4 Orange Cassidy thumbs up out of 5.

He's taken the WWE Legends approach to the business and to life.

Get your shit in and get out.

[rez]

If Trump tweeted he made wrestling great again...I'd let him have the glory.

Fun show

[Dark One]

Fun show. I think I preferred last week's show to this one, but this was still amazing.

See you all next week FOR THE REAL A SHOW.

Even if its something like 4-5 years left, that's plenty of time for him to be a big star and have a nice run as a top star in AEW.

Austin and Rock's run on top in WWE was around similar in length for some comparisons and that was when wrestling was really hot in terms of popularity.

The first time I ever saw him wrestle at an EVOLVE show, he got his elbow literally broken midway through the match via being hit with a shovel and continued doing insane shit for the rest of the match, including getting put in a body bag, which was filled with thumb tacks, and powerbombed a few times...

Damn... this guy Darby Allin from EVOLVE is freaking insane... broke his elbow in the match I saw tonight... sucks...

looking @ his twitter, all these insane bumps... only 960 followers... seems like he goes to the hospital a lot also...

Any meetups if I decide to go to the Indy show next month? I'll probably do a TPWW sign like peeps did back in the day.

I'm training my 3 year old nephew on cool shit right now. I've converted my "office" into an arcade. Mortal Kombat, TMNT, & Rampage Arcade1Up cabinets. I think the introduction to wrestling should be AEW and not back catalog shit.

Inner Circle gonna turn on Jericho eventually and lose their bubbly privileges. They'll also make the list. Swagger Ralfus is gonna have his hands full.

[Triple A]

Are both tag tournament matches next week or just Private Party vs. Lucha Bros?

[Emperor Smeat]

Both semi-finals tag matches.

In addition to these three matches, the semifinals of the AEW Tag Team title tournament will take place. Private Party will face the Lucha Bros. while SoCal Uncensored will face The Dark Order.

[Triple A]

Have they said that the final match will be on TV or at the PPV?

[BigCrippyZ]

Both semi-finals tag matches.

5 matches in 2 hours? How will they ever fit that in? :lol:

[Emperor Smeat]

Have they said that the final match will be on TV or at the PPV?

TV based on advertisements for upcoming Dynamite shows assuming plans don't change.

Does seem a bit odd to not just hold it a week later at the Full Gear PPV event.

It's so hard to take Jericho seriously right now. He needs to drop 25 pounds.

Darby Allen wrestling with his hands tied behind his back is better than anything the WWE has done in 10 years.

[Jordan]

I just watched the show. Best episode yet. The wrestling this week was awesome. Riho came off like a star by the end of her match. Yeah it had a bad moment but they made up for it big time. The opening tag was really freaking good, then the Marko & Jungle Boy vs Lucha Bros was AWESOME, then Mox and Pac vs Kenny and Hangman was AMAZING, and then Jericho and Darby was DOPE. Really creative main event and just all around awesome show. I can't wait for next week.

I am now hoping Lucha Bro's take the tag belts, they are fucking superstars. Pentagon is scary as fuck and Fenix is one of the most amazing wrestlers ... he's like a Mexican Tiger Mask... Lucha Bro's gotta take the belts.

[Jordan]

I was left wondering how a Jericho match could close the show suitable following that sick tag with Omega/Page and Pac/Mox ... then I was like... "It's a Darby Allin and Painmaker Jericho street fight.... okay this could do it". Jericho is really a legend in our time. Darby in all of his freshness is also a sort of throwback in a way to the early early days of American catch as catch can. Unfortunate that they didn't state the rope break rule to the crowd though.

[Jordan]

I really don't see how any match can be the final of the tag tournament other than Lucha Bro's vs SCU Kazarian and Scorpio. Scorpio looked like a superstar tonight and I think could be capable of greatness.

[BigCrippyZ]

It really was a great show. It seems like each week they just keep improving and each week's show is better than the last.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Page and Omega v Moxley and Pac was amazing. Especially the end with Moxley. Broadcast teamed mentioned during his entrance that Pac doesn't like Moxley and we get a payoff on that comment at the end.

Omega and Moxley are going to tear the house down at Full Gear. Their chemistry is thru the roof

Similar thing happened with NXT and a big reason for its popularity. The crowd helped make the shows more lively which made for a better viewing experience compared to RAW and Smackdown. Those benefits then trickled down to TakeOver events helping make the overall feel of those shows better than main roster PPV events.

Only downside with NXT's crowd experience is their house show numbers haven't really grown over the years and in a bunch of cases have actually struggled in sales meaning Full Sail has been causing their growth to stagnate.

[Mr. JL]

Seriously, seriously great stuff all around from AEW tonight.

My one nitpick would be the Darby Allin submission. J.R. kept alluding to Allin not submitting (even in a do or die moment) all night.

Not that it truly matters because AEW, Darby, Cody and Jericho just fucking MADE this kid a STAR but from a certain character standpoint, it sticks out.

[Evil Vito]

Per Bryan Alvarez, Marlo Stunt’s match GAINED viewers.

[Triple A]

Marko Stunt is amazing and s0 fun to watch

I saw him at an MLW show and feel like he was one of the most over people on the show and was in easily the match of the night. Everyone I was with also loved him, including people who don't really watch wrestling

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Damn wanted to see Luchasaurus. Hope he’s not injured too long. Fee like him and Swagger can eventually have a pretty great big athletic hoss match.

Pentagon and Fenix def have to win the belts. Didn’t like SCU until this episode. Seemed weird that a bunch of bald 64 year olds would act like they’re in a fraternity. 100% thought they would be the heel jobbers of the tag division. But in one episode they became sympathetic faces. I like that the lines are blurred between face and heel to an extent.

Darby Allin has been made into a relatively big deal in just 3 episodes and a couple of ppv’s lol.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

PAC getting pissed off with Moxley because he wants to win the match and not get dq’d was good. Shows that winning matches matters.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Wish they would get a few more Lucha Underground guys like Marty the Moth, Cage, Mil Muertes, Johnny Mundo, Cuerno etc

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Feel like Cage could probably throw Marko Stunt from the ring to the entrance.

[Emperor Smeat]

Wish they would get a few more Lucha Underground guys like Marty the Moth, Cage, Mil Muertes, Johnny Mundo, Cuerno etc

Mundo and Cuerno signed with WWE while Cage is signed with Impact for the time being.

Not sure what Mil is currently doing but Marty supposedly has been laying low ever since causing a scene backstage in AAA. Wasn't really his fault but think he got blacklisted from the company as a result.

[Lock Jaw]

Finally had time to watch this show.... another good showing from AEW....

Liked the Cody Rhodes video package a lot.... amazing how much they can sell the match just doing that, instead of forcing him to actually be on the show, on TV, maybe cutting the same promo every week..... or to do a "contract signing" that ends in a brawl to "build heat" and get the two competitors together.......

Wasn't super into the woman's match until they started mentioning Lock Jaw

Not into Marko Stunt, and thought that match went on way too long and that they shoulda just killed him. Sad at no Luchasaurus.

Loved the PAC/Moxley interaction and ending, and how it is leading to a match between them next week. Love how AEW can have "layers" to stories and not just one dude focused on one story/feud/rivalry. I will say that Jon Moxley does not look great in tights.... wish he would go back to the Ambrose look of rassling in jeans/wife-beater.... set him "apart" more, and fits his character better.....

Main event was good, Darby Allin is nuts...... I wish the commentators would tell his story on air again, though..... They just mention that he paints himself half-skull because he feels half dead..... but I remember something about when he fought Cody they really played up that some family member died or he almost died or drowned or something and that is why he felt like he was half dead and didn't fear pain and suffering.....

I'm torn on Marko Stunt.

On one hand, I don't believe he should be disqualified from the world forever like Cornette tends to. There is a spot on nearly any card for nearly anybody. He know what he signed up for, and if he wants to bump until he breaks in half because he isn't physically built to take it, that's on him. He knows the risks.

On the other hand, it seems like the only reason he's there is to make Jungle Boy look bigger by comparison. And being that Marko is the size of a nothing, he shouldn't be getting in all kinds of "effective" offense. He should be getting his ass killed most of the time, and pulling off a few miracle maneuvers and letting one of his teammates get the save.

Kind of the opposite of the "agile big man" thing that has now honestly overpopulated wrestling. It was unique psychology when you have the occasional Bam Bam Bigelow or (drastically younger) Vader. But now, when you have too many big guys putting on cruiserweight caliber matches (though they're not the only place, I'm looking at WWE in particular here as a whole, and not just at Lee vs Dijak: the next forever feud), what's the point of the cruiserweights? Not saying they should all be lumbering and slow powerhouses, but they all shouldn't be going to the top rope multiple times in a match or diving to the outisde, either.

Him being competitive with Pentagon and Phonenix in a two on one scenario is the kind of shit that takes me out of a show way more than knowing one of the announcers is wearing a mask off camera but still doing a good job with the important thing: his voice. The argument of him being "fun to watch" is countered with it being better served against folks who aren't supposed to be the top of the food chain. Him here is like a Young Bucks match: they're a good tag team, and can put on a good match, but any criticisims they got over the years about doing too much shit they have doubled and tripled down on - first to rebel, then to be stubborn, and finally to the point of it's all they know how to do and can't have matches where there aren't 800 finishers used that mean nothing, and bodies flying everywhere every six seconds.

To have him go out and show off is squandering any value he would have to take bumps and gain sympathy. And he wouldn't even have to take nearly as many as he does to achieve that. He could still be "fun to watch", but he shouldn't be "competitive" with anyone who isn't James Ellsworth.

[Evil Vito]

To be fair, the Bucks are capable of having non spot-fest matches. Their matches in New Japan were actually pretty great from a storytelling standpoint, especially during the last two years of their run there.

While they were doing that, their US indy matches continues to be about high spots and selling merch because that's what those crowds wanted to see.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I wish they just worked proper fucking matches, cuz I've seen them be good in Japan too. I've loved AEW so far but my one big gripe is how every match turns into a video game with the moves and near falls.
