Suprised to hear how pumped you guys are on the netflix series and that you're still going through episode by episode, mazeltov to everyone who enjoyed it
We watched all 6 episodes today with 2 wrestling fans, 1 lapsed fan and 2 boyfriend/girlfriends who don't watch at all, even to the people who don't spend their lives listening to wrestling documentaries/podcasts/books it felt like it covered such worn territory. 2.5 of the people we watched with assumed this was a fluff piece about how cool and based Vince is as a businessman, Brett Hart says he loves the guy, Trish Stratus handwaives a lot of their gross stuff from our childhood.
Another 6 episodes on the cutting room floor? how? to talk about owen dying again? the steroid trial again? THE MONDAY NIGHT WARS?????? AGAIN?!??????????
We're in the generation below you guys, we started watching right as WCW fell and WWF turned into WWE, its insane how many of these topics have been covered 47 times since we started watching, even the Shane unloved son stuff has been done before, the only possibly new topics were from the last two years and felt pretty surface level if you read twitter headlines and trending topics, let alone followed any of the stories.
200 hours of interviews for what? an unflinching portrait of Vince? where everyone sucks him off and talks about how good he is for 6 hours? even after confronted with the realities laid bare and allegations/texts/stories no wrestler will say anything about him lmao
Watched the first 4 Episodes of the Mr. McMahon Documentary on Netflix over the course of Wednesday. I wish the episodes were at least 10-15 Minutes longer. Can't wait to finish it on Thursday or Friday. I'm surprised that Kevin Dunn, Jim Cornette, Chris Jericho, CM Punk, and Jesse Ventura weren't interviewed for this documentary.
The biggest compliment I can give this show is that I kept thinking it was a ppv.
Thank you for sectioning off the segments of news and the review, makes it easier for skipping or relistening to different parts.
Grandslam was really enjoyable. The tag title match was special. Those Bucks are washed takes from various individuals are freezing cold.
It would've been nice to have two women's matches on the show but the post match angle was fun.
MVP had an amazing debut.
I think AEW mismanages the Grand Slam event. It looks like a normal arena in most angles, missing all the Arthur Ashe specialness. They should run it in summer with an open roof under the sunset, little to no stage setup just like the US Open setup, and lower ticket prices to get this thing close to full. The marketing such an iconic image provides would be worth way more than doing it the way they do it right now.
Really wish I’d seen the mcguinness-danielson match that wai watched, because the one I watched last night was pretty disappointing relative to their roh series. Obviously they’re both older, but for a rushed build match this was a disappointment.
Im sure Wai has already gotten this thrown at him all over the internet and im sure AEW will lean into it more when needed but Mina and Yuka were rivals in TJPW when Mina was really early in her career,.
So I didn't watch the tag match except for most of the finish, within which I saw a kick out at 2 from a belt shot. Then to hear this recap and the multitude of offensive moves, half of which sounded like they could have been finishes to the match. After all that guys are kicking out of belt shots? This is why I refuse to watch a Young Bucks match and why people criticize many modern matches for lacking horribly in wrestling psychology. If you can be entertained by stuff like this, have at it. But I can't turn my brain off to that degree.
