  1. Some religious person online posted that it was a Satanic ritual and Adam Page was selling his soul….lol this is legit a real thing i found online. He called it a ritual sacrafice for Page's soul to Satan.

  2. I will start with this. I have been an avid fan/watcher of AEW from the beginning. I wanted to see them succeed for various reasons and tried to be loyal. I was surprised when Cody left because it was his baby. Then the Punk fight happened and I was amazed that a billionaire didn't fire EVPs who got in a fight with talent. Then Punk came back and the whole "I was scared for my life" bs happened. Now I see the Bucks and Hangman Page and have zero respect for them as people. Now I have moved from thinking TK is a fan and had a vision to the point where I think he needs adult supervision. I have reached the point that when i hear TK, I have the same "dont give a f" reaction that i used to get when Dixie Carter was killing TNA. With all the senior talent backstage, all the wisdom held by the Jake the Snake, Malenko, Dustin Rhodes, Arn and Tully, Billy Gunn, Punk when he was there, FTR and you have these kids who refuse to listen and an owner who is taking advice from Indie guys, its a lost battle. I can't wait to see how Jack Perry will be received and booked upon his return.

  3. I love Swerve. He's money in the right place and time. Unfortunately he's caught up in the Elite and their shenanigans. As long as he gets treated better than Jay White in the main event, he'll be okay.

  4. At this point I cant believe they don't have someone going over these dumbass spots n pointing em out to show these idiots how retarded all this shit is but then they wouldn't be doing this stuff. Swerve grabbing hangnail n making him staple himself in the face man thats worse than Moxley-Paquette. Hangnail takes the cake for moron of the year Jim's completely right he doesn't have a clue how to be a babyface. I almost wanna go watch this just to see all the dumbass spots. Everytime I thought he was close to saying the match was over it was more n more of "but wait there's more" dipshit spots. Fkn hell

  5. There's a strange irony in the fact that the best babyface entrance that A.E.W. ever had was for Adam Page and the Dark Order for their "Fight For The Fallen" episode. They were the most over, and least putzy they'd ever been or would be… Then the "Elite" showed up like a bad "Space Jam" parody, beat the good guys, iced their momentum and ensured prime putzery for everyone.

  6. As a female wrestling fan, well, AEW lost me a few years ago, but if they still did have me somehow, yeah, that spot they would have lost me at. So, Jim, I think you are spot on with that comment. ๐Ÿ˜‰

  7. Why dont just bring a gun and knives in this kind of match then ????????????????????????
    If broken glass, pizza cutter ( aew has done that), forks on the head, choking by chairs AND barbed wires is allowed, why not go the full scale.
    Granted they have minimal impact of these cutter/forks/glasses but it looks phony, contrived and just lacks any sense of realism.
    TK is just letting these guys kill one other by dangerous spots for his own entertainment in this vanity project.

    It made the The whole wrestling business look like soft porn, vampirish bullshit and just then people question why being a wrestling fan in 2023 is an embarrassment

  8. I don't believe any of these spots were Handbag's ideas. Based on everything I've seen from him I'm convinced he's just a mopy goober that runs with whatever the elite tell him. Take away his friends in high places and he's got nothing.

  9. My big issue is Swerve doesnโ€™t need the dorky manager or these stupid death matches for me heโ€™s got it all the look the mic skills and heโ€™s good in the ring, Jim was so right about the staple gun was so fucking dumb it doesnโ€™t hurt that bad weโ€™ve all done it to our friends when was in class as a joke back in the day ๐Ÿ˜‚
