Doesn't NJPW mainly book the show with TK signing off on it?Which means we're unlikely to ever not get a prominent NJPW role in FD.

I worry it might be a little fast pace for people who are totally new to wrestling cause there would be so much new info for them.
But then again, it's a video. No reason someone can't pause to rehear something or to look up a particular bit.

AEW released a decently comprehensive video. Gives a brief history, AEW's principles, their partnerships, their shows, followed up by a quick catch up the latest stories mainly the stuff wrapped up in title scenes (Both Men & Women's) and ends on some match reccs.

I'm not a fan of stoner humour but the Rascalz aren't doing the stoner joke as a be all end all to their characters.
It's one element and it's used to get across the fact they are laid back, they like to have fun, and they're kind of stupid.

Granted I know nothing about the guy but why do they even care in the first place?

Saw Danhausen debuted at the other company and was curious what people were saying. Scrolled through my feed a little and to summarise, a lot of nasty hypocrites are out today.

God I'd love some new gear. Okada has some of my favourite wrestling gear of all time. Those robes like the Tekken King one or the 2012 Rainmaker robe? God I wish I had something like that.
No clue where I'd wear it but they look amazing.

Considering that stipulation was brought up against MJF of all people, I gotta agree with you there. It wasn't just an added stipulation. It is a very pointed call back.

YES! It's so good! You and I are brothers forever now.

Every time MJF and Hangman have a face-to-face promo the LAYERS they add to each other's characters should be studied. Twice last year and now another one this year where they have cut DEEP to the core of each other's (but especially MJF's) character arc.

25.02.2026 16:07 ๐Ÿ‘ 3 ๐Ÿ” 1 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Nobody talks to MJF like Hangman does. They have some of my favourite promo battles in AEW. That time Hanger pointed out how much he wants the crowd to love him and MJF scowled.
The smarmy lines stopped and MJF got angry in a way we rarely see. The layers in 1 line is so good.

25.02.2026 16:12 ๐Ÿ‘ 3 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Hangman has been directly challenging these regressions lately. He focuses on MJF history of choices attacks his cowardace because that is a core flaw of MJF. From boy to man.

I think people who say he hasn't progressed don't accept regression as development. Which cheats you out of character depth if you do.
MJF regressed most of all in both the Punk & Cole fueds. Both of those let him boldly proclaim he was right to be the way he is.

Love this analysis. Had not occurred to me. If this was the angle, I wonder how they'll play with it more tomorrow.

Honestly, if you're only a fan of the guys and girls at the top then I will internally question of you're even a fan of wrestling.
There are so many "mid carders" I love more than some of main eventers.

I flick in and out of ROH depending on whose on and time I have spare. I was mainly being a shit here.
He has improved a lot. Still not a fan personally but the guy is athletically talented.

And then we'll all say, "You gotta trust AEW a little more." They'll agree and then the next thing will happen to start the cycle over again.

You've not missed any quality discourse around it. A LOT of meltdowns over it. It feels like a bad idea but after seeing how many people were making it out to be cataclysmic, it put it in perspective for me that it's not a big deal.
Hanger would work something out either so I'll wait and see.

Mate, you're gonna be so shocked about how all music in human creation was experienced before the invention of the phonautograph in the mid-1800's.

Only thing I know about Cena's wrestling career is people who weren't kids at the time hated how he would win all the time no matter what. So it's not that, I genuinely do not know what they meant by the analogy. I'm still wondering.

25.02.2026 12:48 ๐Ÿ‘ 0 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

That guy blocked me cause I said I didn't understand his "Willow is the women's John Cena" analogy and mentioned her 60% win rate.

Considering how Rocky negotiates for the wrestling industry, not AEW, I don't think there's a better guy to have on your side than Rocky.

Damn. Even if it was any of my faves beating someone who is unconcious, I'm booing that. And yet I can hear the ring staff more than the crowd.

Released because she wants to make sure ROH's brand new Women's title doesn't get forgotten about? Because she wants to work and showcase her skills with a belt about wrestling skill?
These people's minds are frayed and fried.

Nothing wrong with an indie career. Who knows. Maybe getting to experience more variety might help her find the thing that clicks it all into place for her.

23.02.2026 15:07 ๐Ÿ‘ 1 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Haven't seen her but I've heard some things. The transition from MMA fighter to Pro Wrestler really doesn't feel like it shouldn't be as hard as it evidently is.

Were people actually saying that about Purrazzo? Assholes. My algorithm has been trained well. Worst I saw was she shouldn't say that kind of thing publicly.
Which I'd agree with if she hadn't raised the issue internally. If she did then I don't think it's fair to expect her to sit quietly and wait.

Yeah, that seems to be where Claudio thrives. A bastard only when he needs to be.
I could gush at how well Marina has just 'gotten it' in recent years. Her style hasn't changed mainly her presentation and she wrestles cleanler now but keeps that raw feel you get from being an MMA trained fighter.

While that's the biggest face thing he did, I hesitate to say that was a face turn cause he did nothing face-like since. Probably more accurate to say he was a tweener from then until the return to heel.
