the New Day are irritating as fuck.

What???

They scream and shout and wail all the bloody time. They suffered from babyfaces coming across like arseholes. Bear in mind I’m talking circa 2018 so I’m maybe unqualified to comment. If anything’s changed since then I wouldn’t know, though the video suggests otherwise and I did see that water pistol bit recently which was the pits. Though I do remember thinking Big E had something of a main eventer about him if he got serious, and apparently he’s there now.

I’ve watched some fantastic wrestling this week here’s some crackers, if anyones interested I can provide links,all I though were as good or better than Bryan/Omega

Ospreay v RKJ (Rev pro)
Zack Sabre v Shingo (NJPW)
Syuri v Momo Watanabe (Stardom)
Syuri v Takumi Iroah (Stardom)

Its been a long while since I watched the fed in any main way but I thought New Days biggest problem was just over exposure. The concept was fine but it seemed to be getting shoe-horned into everything because Vince has so many hours to fill. Delighted Big E is champ now, hope he gets a better run than Kofi.

I do love hearing about those brainstorm ideas that never get off the ground.  The first time I heard of that stuff was from Mick Foley's first book talking about some of the suggestions Steve Austin got.  Imagining that poor bastard coming out as Baron Von Ruthless or Chilly McFreeze still brings a smile to my face lol

Arn Anderson, great return to form on Dynamite after last week's mishap!  Also had never heard an Ethan Page promo but he was quite good I thought.

Got reminded yesterday of when Arn Anderson proved he still had the best Spinebuster of all time.



The little pause before rolling out is brilliant.

Maybe HHH.

Big Dave Batista? The rock?

I might just be naming people who did spine busters

Yes I think it’s probably the rock

Don't forget the dropkick.

I dont remember the dropkick. I do remember a very sloppy cross body.

And who could forget the finisher of finishers - the shoulder breaker!

Rampage and the live buy in on youtube goes head to head with Smackdown this week. AEW is likely to lose the rating but fuck it, they've added Danielson VS Suzuki to the card which has filled we with excessive joy.

Really enjoyed Rampage and Dynamite this week, was pretty much the Danielson weekend of amaze. I think it's Hangman's time now, it would probably do some damage for him to lose given this is his 2nd attempt at the title and coming off a loss to Omega last year. Lots of hot angles, I like this American Top Team thing, was a really fun match and they can get more out of it. Must admit though the tournament brackets were a bit deflating.

Pet Peeve incoming. I really wanted to watch this match as it is supposed to be great and I can fill my boots with my tolerance of one lucha match per month, however I had to switch it off in 5 minutes. Who the fuck films wrestling like this making it utterly unwatchable. Cuts every one to three seconds.

Even if you fixed the camera, the titan tron spitting out ads and the constant air horn in the crowd still would stop me watching.

Also, shouldnt lucha bros just be called bros in AAA?

Their hard cam is shite as well.

Yeah it's really distant and at a flat angle, making it even more insufferable. Though you do get a great shot of some refreshments at 14:03 which is a nice bonus.

It’s violence you can peddle to children by avoiding showing acts in detail. It’s basically how the MCU does its bland business
