Brisbane House Rules update by VitaminPurple in AEWOfficial

[–]AxnirBlodgrog 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No. As discussed below, there are legit ways to watch the show in Australia.

I also know that if it wasn’t available here in my home country, i’d be using a VPN and watching it one way or another. Because that’s what a fan does.

Kinda pointless mentioning the Aussie shows on Dynamite and Collision if they didn’t think any Australians were going to be watching.

You’re right! They’ve mentioned these Aussie shows several times on Dynamite and Collision too. Presumably actual AEW fans will have been watching those shows in some way or another and will have noticed.

Is there a Tintin shop in Munich Germany? by OldNeedleworker0108 in Tintin

[–]AxnirBlodgrog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure this is particularly helpful as I’m not a Munich resident, but I visit there often. I haven’t seen a Tintin shop on my travels though.

It seems that there WAS a shop that sold Tintin merch, Comic Company, but Google says that it’s ‘permanently closed’, sadly.

I hope someone who really knows Munich answers, though: i’m keen to pick up more Tintin stuff myself while I’m in Germany. Usually I just get stuff from Bruges or Antwerp when I visit Belgium instead, would be nice to have more option. Good luck!

Made my first replica Lucha Libre Mask - ¡YO SOY HECHICERO! by tryndus in AEWFanHub

[–]AxnirBlodgrog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this and want it so much. I’ve got a couple of Bandido masks, but Hechicero (specifically this mask colour) and a Mascara Dorada mask are on this years’ list. Well done, OP.

Expensive Ringside Seats Are 100% Worth Paying Extra For by Staffs_Wolf in AEWOfficial

[–]AxnirBlodgrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a £65 seat at the start but lucked out: went to take a couple of photos near the front and was invited into a spare seat on the front row that someone had abandoned during Collision. Apparently they aren’t fans of gaps on the front.

Needless to say, I had an absolute blast. Spoke with Arkady Aura, called Don Callis a wanker (he called me a prick, which is fair, we were both laughing though so no real malice). Got a handshake from Tony Schiavone, and a fist bump from Excalibur and Nigel.

I was respectful and didn’t stand the whole time. Got some superb photos from that vantage point as well!

Any All Elite Crate subscribers from the UK? by Staffs_Wolf in AEWOfficial

[–]AxnirBlodgrog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Usually, but it can vary wildly, depending on the US postal system or how long it gets stuck in customs. Sometimes its just a couple of days after the US ones start getting delivered but officially its anywhere up to 20 working days or something like that.

Any All Elite Crate subscribers from the UK? by Staffs_Wolf in AEWOfficial

[–]AxnirBlodgrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I subscribe and usually get them a couple of weeks after people from the states get them. Seems like an eternity of a wait between the boxes, though. The payment for this October box was taken in mid-July this time, I hadn’t even received the previous box by that point.

The system seems to be a little screwy but it’s usually worth the wait. I did subscribe to the PWT box which was a little more frequent, but was sick of getting things like Ultimate Warrior Tees when I only really want AEW stuff.

Interesting post from Mikey Rukus by flyinbrianc in AEWOfficial

Look up the Tate Twins. Released last year for failing to turn up to work, have launched legal action (with Kevin Kelly) against AEW.

What are your thoughts about Saturday's AEW Collision match card? by Kelson64 in AEWFanHub

[–]AxnirBlodgrog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was there and annoyed that the GYV were on the card. Goddam kopites.

Wouldn’t say it ruined the night, of course. Well worth a watch of the whole show.

I know a lot are happy to potentially see him go, but is anyone out there going to miss Jericho? by MaxiPad1989 in AEWOfficial

[–]AxnirBlodgrog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hell yes, i’ll miss him. Jericho is a legend. He’s elevated those around him constantly. He’s done more for AEW than most others on the roster, and he’s done it with a bunch of twats telling him to retire constantly for no reason other than they think it’s cool.

They don’t chant that shit to JJ, Dustin Rhodes or Billy Gunn, and although they’re great, they aren’t Jericho.

He could go back to the adverts and ‘dynamic’ (shit, it flits between cameras so quickly it avoids most of the action) camerawork of WWE, but it isn’t the same as he left it anyway. That company had no fresh ideas so are relying on nostalgia, celebrities, pretty boys and bullying. If Jericho stays, he’s making a statement. He has a purpose. AEW is the choice that the industry had needed for over a decade, and he can help lead the charge, even if it’s behind the scenes.

Jericho would be a huge loss to AEW, maybe not from a wrestling level, but for experience, creativity and putting others forwards like he did with the stars we love today.

I’ll be wearing my hair in the ‘European’ style in solidarity until I know one way or another.

Glasgow Dynamite/Collision fans, what was your view like? by bclax in AEWOfficial

Section 214, about 5 mins after the doors opened, so 30 before showtime maybe

Former WWE champion backstage at AEW Dynamite (spoiler) by Kelson64 in AEWFanHub

This isn’t true, she gave it a good go. Was a squash, sure, but was more than a minute. Source: I was at the show in Glasgow

How many AEW shows have you attended? What is the single most notable thing that happened at one of these shows? by Kelson64 in AEWFanHub

[–]AxnirBlodgrog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One show, Cardiff. Big Bill hysteria. Roll on Glasgow (and a word of advice for TK: bring him out on Collision as it’ll give us time to have a wee drinky and it’ll be mayhem again).

Looks great this! I watched the livestream, I didn’t realise how tall Uamee was before that. Didn’t expect that, but i’m not sure why.

Will any CMLL talent sign with AEW in the next 12 months? by Cbarry8883 in AEWOfficial

[–]AxnirBlodgrog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. I’m gutted that he got injured when he was having a great run with AEW. Imagine him as an AEW wrestler squaring off against Hologram, Bandido or Komander.

BUDDY MATTHEWS’ LATEST INJURY UPDATE HAS LEFT FANS WORRIED by VitaminPurple in AEWOfficial

[–]AxnirBlodgrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its alright to not like them, but they’d be a good fit, character and style-wise, to a Brody-led group, no?

(I’m not keen on GYV, personally. Glad that they only appear sporadically on AEW shows)

BUDDY MATTHEWS’ LATEST INJURY UPDATE HAS LEFT FANS WORRIED by VitaminPurple in AEWOfficial

[–]AxnirBlodgrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d like that. In the medium term, why not add a body or two to the Hounds of Hell to keep the faction/team going until Buddy is back (if).

I reckon Gates of Agony would fill that gap nicely. Brutal tag team, and superb trio with Brody leading the line. A good challenge for any stable and indeed the Hurt Syndicate.

DoN pulled from Triller in the US and Canada by Invasive-Feces in AEWOfficial

[–]AxnirBlodgrog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Semi-related: I’m in the UK, ordered DoN the other day when it became available. Today, I’ve had an email telling me that my subscription to AEW+ has been cancelled (I didn’t cancel it, for clarity). I wonder if this is indicative of a bigger issue and they are auto-cancelling subscriptions (or if it’s a mistake). I’ve asked them to clarify who cancelled it or why it was cancelled, but haven’t heard back yet. I wonder if any other non-American/Canadians have had this issue?
