I took a couple non-fans to watch Ospreay vs Takeshita and they were all wowed by it and it made them interested in the overall product. Match had crossover appeal, for sure.

Cody vs Roman has an incredible build, but if you're rating on match quality, 4.75 might even be generous. It all depends on what someone's personal criteria is. By Dave's criteria, Hogan vs Sting with a yearlong build was like a ** match at best. Hogan vs Andre is probably one star. He rates on workrate and match quality, while people like you and I might rate things on story, build, and intangible "it" factor before we even consider how much action there actually was in the match. By my standards Cody vs Roman is five stars and something like Hogan vs Sting is 3 and a half, losing a lot from the bungled ending.

Anyway people put way too much stock and thought into Dave's opinions, he's just an opinion commentator at this point who guesses at what's going to happen next the same way the rest of us do. Sean Ross Sapp is the only real newsman in the business right now who reliably gets concrete information.
Yeah if he was just doing the quality of the wrestling that's fine, but he does give stars for japanese storylines and ends up with 6* and 7* ratings.

At the end of the day Meltzer’s snowflakes are still just his opinion. I was trying to give Punk’s wrestling skills some love. I do think Da Meltz opinion is ultimately not the one. But I got used to his star ratings when I loved AJPW. Which I was addictive to their heavyweight matches.

A match in the TOKYO DOME automatically gets at least a 1* bonus

Is that the end of the alpha academy? At least edit them out instead of just dropping them imo. Maybe Otis turns heel with Chad?

Nice escape spot at Dragongate.


Nice concept but they spent 20 seconds not hitting each other to carefully move to the chain to set this up.

Reminds me of the dive spots where allies and enemies suddenly all crowd together with their hands up and brace for impact, sometimes over extended periods of time if the spot needs setup or is mistimed.

“We remain confident the evidence will prove Ms. Grant’s allegations are false and her complaint is nothing more than a fabricated, vindictive narrative from a disgruntled former girlfriend,” asserted Jessica Rosenberg, a partner of Kasowitz, Benson Torres.

Filed on January 25 and almost immediately attacked by McMahon’s team, Grant’s graphic lawsuit says she was violently raped repeatedly and abused in other ways by McMahon from 2019 to 2022. Additionally, Grant claims says she was trafficked across state lines to other WWE executives and even to an unnamed “WWE Superstar” for sexual purposes.

McMahon resigned from his role as TKO executive chairman and from the TKO board of directors in January 2024.

Grant, who worked in WWE legal and talent departments, alleges that McMahon forced her to collect stool samples from WWE wrestlers. These samples were collected as part of the WWE wellness policy, however, Grant claims that McMahon used them for fecal transplant therapy.

Grant alleges abuse and sexual exploitation. The lawsuit included text message screenshots alleged to be McMahon asking for depraved sexual fetishes including: ABDL (adult baby and diaper lover), BDSM and interracial cuckold play involving African-American WWE wrestlers including Accie Julius Connor, better known by his ring name D'Lo Brown, Charles Wright, better known by ringnames The Godfather and Papa Shango et al.

He said, ‘Listen to me, these are your primal instincts. This might sound crazy, but when two animals — the primal instincts kick in and survival kicks in, and it’s their basic primal instincts, and we all have them, even as human beings. If you see someone weaker than you, you see someone that’s crippled or in a wheelchair, deep down your primal instinct, you want to destroy them, you want to eat them, you want to eat them alive! That is what we do. That is what human beings do to one another. That is our basic primal instincts. When you look at a primal human being and the psychology behind it, that is our instincts. You want to take the person who’s weaker than you, that is below you in the food chain, and you want to f**king EAT THEM! Do you understand?! That’s what I want to see out of this match,”

Fascinating.

edit - it's not a repost you dork, you posted a picture without even a link or other information. I was doing your undone work.

Reminded me of this from the Hannibal tv show:

Dr. Bedelia Du Maurier : You're walking down the street and you see a wounded bird in the grass. What's your first thought?

Will Graham : It's vulnerable. I want to help it.

Dr. Bedelia Du Maurier : My first thought is also that it's vulnerable. And yet... I want to crush it. A primal rejection of weakness which is every bit as natural as the nurturing instinct. Of course, I wouldn't crush it, but my first thought is to do just that.
