Damn

 

RIP

 

RIP Genius

 

Wild that American Nightmare Cody made it into a WWE video game before an AEW video game.

 

“I’ve even talked to lawyers to go after the education system because when I see my sons work, all the questions are about mom and not dad”


As someone with two kids in school, this is so incorrect lmao. It’s almost always the dad.

Also 100k for a podcast? Shut the fuck up. Nobody wants to hear that mf talk

 

I mean, Pacquiao is smart...he'll do what Mayweather did with Logan Paul and just avoid having it end definitively so there can be money in a rematch if they want

 

I guess Rollins went on IG live today and talked shit about Logan Paul. Definitely setting up a Mania match ugh lol

 

According to the WON, Cole's reaction to McAfee's surprise return was a shoot. How adorable.

 

Paul vs Seth sounds awesome, i'm down for that.

 

With all this money that they’re getting you’d think they would put effort into licensing decent theme songs for Raw and Smackdown.

 

Sami is white hot. Montreal is going to explode.

 

You'd also think with how many bands AEW has used for their themes, they too wouldnt have the default grungy nonsense all wrestling programs were required to use.

RAW/SD on the other hand have "Madden 19 background music" sounding themes

 

They need to give Sami his old theme back at the very least.

I love that Owens still has the same generic sports highlight package theme from NXT.

 

My favorite part of those is that the Fight and KO shirts are things they hacked together on the spot...the orignal KO shirt was literally duct tape, and the Fight shirt was Finn Balors spray paint

Owens recalled. “I turned my Guns N’ Roses shirt inside out, I cut the sleeves off, and I used Finn’s paint. That’s another thing. Finn’s like, ‘should I paint for this? I don’t know if they want me in paint.’ Enzo’s like, ‘yeah, put the paint on!’ So I used Finn’s paint to write, ‘fight’ on my shirt and that’s how the look came about!”

 

Also, one of the funniest damn backstage photos comes from that

 

So many things about KO shouldn’t have worked but they just do. He’s a gem.

 

Finally sitting down and going through Peacock to find a match or a PPV to throw on and good lord is this layout atrocious. Why didn’t they just keep the same layout from when it was their own network? Why are PPV’s called seasons? Why does nothing go in alphabetical order or seem to have any filtering options lol

 

Maybe I’m also technology deficient but is there not a way to just to the next match or segment of a PPV?

Thought it was maybe just that I didn’t have such a function on my FireStick remote but even at other locations with different remotes I still haven’t been able to figure out anything but fast forwarding to get somewhere lol

 

They don’t have each segment time stamped. They didn’t fully implement that on the Network either, and even that varied by platform. Only some platforms got that update.

 

I don’t know how I watched WWE before DVR. Sami/Roman was great & the building erupted for them but god, the rest of this show is a slog.

On the bright side it only takes me 20 minutes to get through a 2-3 hour show.
