Ah, it's probably because I'm doing it from a mobile then, because there's no 'open image in new tab' option

It's annoying, but I say let him do it. It's exposure.

Might SuperBrad be tempted to coach for us?

Hearing that Stu Bennett is the commentator replacing Cornette??? I'll watch NWA for him alone, he's always been a first rate talker in all his roles!

Well, I loved it watching all in one go BUT be safer to split it into 2 or 4 if you don't already love mafia type films. Be aware it's a story and NOT an action film.

Nearly a year since this last was bumped! What did people think of The Irishman? I thought it was a touch long (3hrs would've done it justice, imo) but it was a typical Scorsese masterclass in telling a story. DeNiro and Pacino as awesome as ever, but I thought Pesci was the standout performer. Well worth coming out of retirement for that role. Played the slightly menacing, all-seeing mob boss to perfection imo. Loved it.

Only 3 disappointments for me: Why RuDolph? Should've called an audible and had Street Profits win. Treatment of Walter in his match. Not saying he should've stood tall, but he deserved better booking than he got. Should've ended with Baysler standing over Lynch, without the fight back. Otherwise one of the better booked WWE PPVs of the year imo, really enjoyed it.

The Fiend should've continued taking out established stars. He should've claimed to be THE dark heart of the WWE, when taking out Kane to provoke the Undertaker. He should now be preparing to legit retire (and I mean utterly squash) the Undertaker at SS. Then just disappear. Just do the odd Firefly Funhouse skit again. Then just as #30 is due to come out at the Rumble (say Strowman or Bryan or even Punk to turn up the heel heat on Fiend) they're found bloodied and tied up in a crucifix pose, with 'Let me in' painted on their chest. Fiend is then #30, wins Rumble, 'almost squash' WWE champ for the title at WM. Is what should've happened imo.

Even I watched the WS rather than AEW

In the US, AEW is advertised in virtually every ad break on every non-Fox channel. WWE doesn't even seem to be advertised on Fox's channels. Don't think the area I'm in is the reason either, as we're in New England. Been in Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, soon to be in Connecticut and New York though.

Don't think I've seen a keeper as nervous as Walton

What a goal from Dack

Didn't think that was a pen myself

Wednesday nights will be affected by MLB for a few weeks, mind. Figures might pick up after.

I note they avoided Seth and Wyatt altogether. It's a bold strategy, Cotton.

They didn't just come 'near as dammit' to killing Wyatt's push (I'll give them tonight to save it), but the whole HIAC gimmick! It was was built upon Mick Foley nearly actually dying twice in the space of 10minutes FFS!

I don't get it. At all. They had a perfect narrative staring at them imo. Wyatt beats Rollins and is champ. Wyatt acheives what he couldn't before. Wyatt calls out Taker as something else he couldn't do. Taker accepts, as the only one who can go to the dark places Wyatt can to 'save' WWE. Wyatt retires Taker at Survivor Series. Boom. But this shit?

Now THAT sounds brilliant.

I don't think he'll need a manager until he splits from this stable (surely Jericho will be the mouthpiece). However, when he does split, he'll need a manager out of left field which are the best in modern wrestling imo: Dutch Mantel with Jake's 'Jack Swagger' character. Paul Ellering, then Drake Maverick, with AOP. Heyman's introduction of Brock Lesnar. Lio Rush with Bobby Lashley. I'll offer a suggestion that when he splits from the group he could have DDP as manager. Or maybe someone completely different/insane like Raven or AJ Lee. Someone with command of the mic.

I'll be getting some new golf towels for after the winter!

Raw needs to go completely the other way to SD, NXT, and AEW imo. Needs to go full pantomime, blockbuster nonsense. Fiend is perfect for that, but I'm thinking along the lines of the recent Lashley v Strowman big beefy boy match.

Holy shit, I would've been happy with half that number tbh. To generate 1m NEW viewers at worst, and take 2/300k from NXT is a remarkable TV debut imo.

Having watched both, I really enjoyed both. Simple as that, really. Also just found out the full AEW show is available on ITV Hub from 7pm Thursdays. Not as good as 'live' but better than just a highlight show on Sunday morning. Won't pay for Fite TV if I can just wait a day and watch it at a relatively normal time the next day

Well, Dynamite was simply excellent! Will be catching up on NXT later.
