just had a look at meltzer’s ratings for it, two matches got negative stars :smiley: never ones to be outdone, the corresponding wcw ppv (starrcade 99) had three matches with negative stars

Chyna v Jericho genuinely excellent. Kane v Xpac, and Venis v Bulldog v D-Lo okayish. Fell asleep before the main event.

Bog standard 6/10 PPV for me. Just felt like a good episode of Attitude Era Raw really.

Alright so I got tomorrow off because I covered a shift yesterday so watched Full Gear and it was… fine. Not bad, not great, just, fine.

except the Matt Hardy compound bollix because you kidding we are still doing this shit?!

Didn’t catch it myself but seems to be getting really positive reviews from a work standpoint, The FTR and Bucks match especially. Need to get eyes on that somehow. Psyched that Allen’s the TNT champ too.

Starting to find AEW’s reliance on nostalgia starting to get a bit much

Gangrel and Hurricane!

Knew Helms would get involved in aew eventually as an agent or in cameos with the amount of folks he knows working there, mad wwe let him go tbh.

Yeah he’s life long friend with Matt Hardy as well so it makes sense

Rather that then have WWE trot out Sgt Slaughter, IRS and Ted DiBiase every 6 months

Oh yeah WWE are far worse for it. This isn’t me going LOOK AEW ARE DOING SOMETHING WWE DONT DO.

It’s more that I have nostalgia fatigue in wrestling BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD (largely thanks to WWE)

I heard the dilapidated boat made a return which is surely a good thing

on reflection I will upgrade my “fine” to “solid”. Nothing massively stood out as exceptional but everything was solid and largely made sense booking wise, agree the work rate for FTR/Bucks was good, glad it was largely revival led.

Allin winning was a nice pop but I just can’t take him that seriously

Ever since Starks compared him to the I love Turtles kid I can’t unsee it :joy: But I love his work, he’s small but he lays his shit in way more than most flippy folks, when he hits a dive you feel it (it’ll undoubtedly wreck his body but he’s always a highlight for me)

Little moments like this are the only things I seek out now! Only moment from last night I have seen is the Gangrel bit (wtf is JR on about as well giving his real name)

eh, maybe if it was still 2016

Heh, Bluedust just made an appearance on the ECW I’m watching

I think it’s the flagrant disregard for his own body that puts me off. like what you said is totally true but I really don’t want to watch a guy potentially seriously injure himself live on TV (like Matt Hardy recently ffs) which feels inevitable the more he tries to up it. Glad for him otherwise though
