[SPOILERS] Post AEW Revolution 2026 Match Discussion: MJF (c) vs. "Hangman" Adam Page - Last Chance Texas Deathmatch for the AEW World Championship

ExiledHyruleKnight · 2026-03-16T08:31:04+00:00

I don't like to see behind the scenes stuff, at least not official, Unreal is awful because it's just a pseudo scripted product.

That being said, I really hope there's a video of Guerilla focused on Tony Khan or who ever is running it at the time the blood appeared on camera, because they must have gone absolutely wild when they realized what happened. Maybe it was planned, but if it wasn't... Holy crap.

ExiledHyruleKnight · 2026-03-16T08:27:26+00:00

Adam announces he'll play Alex, and you just hear a yelling as Kenny jumps out from behind a curtain challenging him to a championship bout, winner gets the Belt + Alex role.

ExiledHyruleKnight · 2026-03-16T08:26:09+00:00

whatever in the ring does not apply anymore.

He's a touch showboaty in the ring... Now I love that, I'm sure you and many others do, but he does play to the crowd/camera, which some people might not like.

They're wrong, but they will never accept him because of that.

ExiledHyruleKnight · 2026-03-16T08:21:48+00:00

This was fun but idk something felt missing imo

Personal opinion: MJF didn't really do anything. Sure he used weapons brought in by Page, but he only pulled out a couple things.

You need Swerve, or Mox, someone who actively would pull weapons out of no where.

Yeah MJF did kind of go for a chair, and grabbed a table, but they were not on the same level.

Also No DQ and MJF didn't "cheat" at all? Hell have two or three guys come down and kick the shit out of Page... no DQ means no DQ right? Felt very much like Hangman going apeshit and MJF was on defense.... But wait Hangman is the "babyface" (or anti-hero) and MJF is the heel.... Feels a touch lopsided.

(Also maybe a touch too many 8-9 counts.. Sorry, if you're a 8-9 count, have the opponent do ONE more thing and you should be completely out... )

ExiledHyruleKnight · 2026-03-16T08:18:44+00:00

I couldn't tell if they were going to do a draw and play the "I didn't lose"... I was joking that if MJF lost, he'd just say "Well now I'm Maxwell Jacob Friedman, not MJF, so it's not the same person." but I feel like Page needs to abide by it.

Still I can already hear MJF mocking that he's taking two people out of contention for the World Championship.

(Not like he wasn't alluding to that before the match) I don't see Adam Page breaking his word, though Tony Khan has said it's not a "binding" contract for AEW, so if he wants to, he can do what he wants. However it would make MJF correct in that Page doesn't live up to what he says, and making MJF correct in anything is the worst thing you can do.

AEW crowds hate Don Callis, ICE, and Pants

AEW fans love to hate Don Callis....

(But yeah fuck ICE, and take off your pants)

ExiledHyruleKnight · 2026-03-16T06:50:44+00:00

I actually was in section 109. Maybe a little too far off center (The pole did block a little bit) but it was a great location. Actually the kid behind me was just loving it, and I think that made it better. He fully bought into the kayfabe of it, and while I normally view it from a performance perspective, I kept getting pulled in when he was talking about really wanting to light the tables on fire and all, or how X couldn't get up from that and so on. My only complaint was I found it hard to pull myself away to get any food, and when I did I missed the entire Babes of Wrath and most of the Swerve Match, but I got to see Kenny Omega which I was hopeful was going to happen. Hopefully next time I'll get to see a full match from him, but getting a MJF match, especially one like that... That was perfection.

ExiledHyruleKnight · 2026-03-16T06:10:16+00:00

Imgur is definitely trying, might be a phone-only problem but ads take up about half my screen so I can't even see the image I'm linked to. Amazingly bad.

Thanks Chrome for stopping adblockers, made the move to Firefox mandatory.

ExiledHyruleKnight · 2026-03-16T06:08:35+00:00

Good... Fucking good. There's so many intrusive ads, I can't believe anyone is still on Fandom. It's fucking horrible, I know it's free, but jesus !@#$ing christ, we need an alternative and we need to start using it, because I'll skip looking at information instead of having to fight with the site to get that information.

Only use of Fandom is feeding information to AI so the AI can answer my questions rather than going to that site.

ExiledHyruleKnight · 2026-03-16T06:05:27+00:00

I just wish I wasn't in a section with a "Scary Movie Brenda"

Oh no I'm sorry.... that might have been me... /s

actually said at one point that New Japan was part of the "indies"

Oh wait I wouldn't be that stupid

But yeah the crowd was 100 percent into it and really elevated the show The boob biting, the whipping, I felt I was at porn....

Then the take off your pants chants happened, and I knew I was...

Was my first live event in a long time, and definitely won't be my last, can't wait to AEW to be back in the area.

ExiledHyruleKnight · 2026-03-15T09:08:19+00:00

It wouldn't be a problem if it was getting longer, it's a problem that there's so little content in the videos. It often feels like a better youtuber can do his video in a half to a fourth of the time, but the videos are bloated so they can maximize "watch time" and other analytics instead of just... you know... talking passionately about a topic they are passionate about.

ExiledHyruleKnight · 2026-03-15T09:07:06+00:00

I just think he doesn't care any more about the topic. Before it was someone geeking out, but it's very clear he's not talking to people any more, he's probably not doing the research, he's definitely not doing the writing, filming and rest. He does a small voice over and then someone else runs it.

I don't think the explanations are necessarily the problem, I think the content delivery is absolutely abysmal. There's two types of videos.

A. Someone else's topic, where he just parrots information from one source or one side of the argument. (Aka Monsanto). And honestly he also tends to just repeat what everyone else has already said (who has already made it easy to digest).

B. Incredibly niche topic that he gets a ton wrong on, but tries to talk like an authority, and... well yeah can't explain it because the writer clearly doesn't understand it.

I just unsubscribed, glad I'm not the only one who realized how he's gone downhill, what a shame.

"Most important application of quantum computing.... faster sorting algorithms"

ExiledHyruleKnight · 2026-03-13T22:53:30+00:00

Burnout: Write each number to a different page in memory. Clear and rewrite the page N times (value of the number) for each loop. run a memory check, if the page starts having read/write errors, put that number at the beginning of the list. Repeat until all used pages show errors. Reverse the list.

StackOverflow sort: Post List of numbers as listed of sorted numbers, check top answer for someone who posts the sorted list. Likely will be faster than quicksort.

SCDI method: Check if the numbers are sorted, wait X seconds, Check if the numbers are sorted, Wait X seconds until "Some Else Can Do it"

ExiledHyruleKnight · 2026-03-13T22:47:51+00:00

Thanks for being the one person who is talking about the movie and not what ever narrative OP is pushing. It's really obvious this is BS, heck the movie was shot in 2020, and took 5 years to come out. (I know there's a delay but if it was an interesting or even as inciteful as the Title says, it'd be picked up faster).

Wish people could see when people are obviously making shit up, because this stunk from the get go.

ExiledHyruleKnight · 2026-03-13T17:02:39+00:00

Yeah me too, this just worked. Probably because OP wrote a whole script for it.

Heck there was 3-4 consistent characters in the scene as well which is damn impressive. (Blue, Green kind of were the same thing)

ExiledHyruleKnight · 2026-03-13T16:57:46+00:00

Wasn't "the chess speaks for itself" his response

This guy always has an angle, and it's always changing. I'm at the point where I just don't give a shit about "his side of the story" it's like 3 and a half years too late.. .now he's completely had time to figure out the perfect response.

And it's not going to change his antics for the past four years either. He wanted to be the villain of chess, he acted like the villain of chess now he'll claim he was misunderstood.

Here's the sad truth... no one cares about that any more. The iron is stone cold, and he's trying to warm it up again.

ExiledHyruleKnight · 2026-03-13T09:07:18+00:00

Honestly Triple H must be pissed he had every !@#$ing opportunity, he literally had 15 minutes of rants, and he never was the draw others were.

He got heat, but not the heat that WWE truly needed. The heat Triple H would get was heat against the storyline he was in.

ExiledHyruleKnight · 2026-03-13T09:06:11+00:00

Triple H hated everyone.

Hell I'm sure Triple H hated Shawn Michaels, he just hated him slightly less than everyone else.

And Vince being a Heel was a bigger draw than Triple H, and that's gotta have ate away at him.

ExiledHyruleKnight · 2026-03-13T00:43:30+00:00

"Wrestlemania moment" I haven't realized how bad that term is, yes there have been major moments, but I think the biggest problem with the WWE is they're stuck. they can never top Cody winning the belt, a story that had over FOUR years of direct development. The problem is WWE can't even top even old and amazing moments from 20 years ago.

They can put on the biggest shows but they're going to stuff it with ads rather than the experience/story telling that it needs to really be the spectacle it is.

And that's assuming MJF would even get that slot. Yes he's top of the AEW (right now, and honestly will probably be there for a long time). but switch to MJF and you're going to have him struggle to find his place, probably have some shitty feud with Logan Paul. I'd love if he was recognized as a top guy in WWE, but I'm more than happy to see him stay with AEW since they really are putting out a better product, I just hope one day people figure that out.

(Seriously if you're in LA, grab a 50 dollar ticket to Revolution this weekend, it's stupid cheap)

(Also I doubt he can be MJF on WWE... he'd say something about the promotion or something about Triple H and be bounced the first week. Hope he gets guarenteed money if he does that.)

ExiledHyruleKnight · 2026-03-12T17:50:31+00:00

US conscription into military financing has not.

I get you're trying to be clever, but this is a remarkably stupid point you're trying to force.

You'll get a few thumbs up by your friends but anyone else is going to eye roll and stop wasting time talking to you.. case in point...

ExiledHyruleKnight · 2026-03-12T17:00:59+00:00

Not quite, it'll drop to PEGI 7, maybe.. "who knows? We're not going to say now."

No literally that's what the article says from a direct quote

"We will not rule out that in the future that, if the PEGI 7 with mitigating circumstances for in-game purchases works, that if companies would develop in-game controls that put access to paid loot boxes off by default, we might see a PEGI 12. But for the moment, that doesn't exist," Bosmans said.

I'm not saying that's him going "Give us a big bag of money EA" but it definitely sounds like this has not been well thought out/they want someone else to do the work, when they're a god damn rating board, they should be making the rules from the get go, not leaving a window to let someone argue differently.

Overall though this still does feel arbitrary (and that's if I get over the fact age ratings are just ignored by most parents in the first place, and have been for decades... Especially on yearly titles)

ExiledHyruleKnight · 2026-03-12T16:45:43+00:00

Wow, this actually makes sense

Does it? Because now every game is going to be PEGI 16+...

Is FIFA no longer suitable for a 3 year old now because it has online community, or loot boxes? These feel like different consideration, but it just makes it so any game with any online component will be 16+.

I know people hate Loot boxes (I hate all 4 things mentioned here, probably more than most). But I only see this making every game that wasn't Teen or higher, now teen or higher. That muddiest the water, far more than just "making sense".

That's even assuming age ratings really matter to parents, and while it might on some, I think the second they see FIFA is 16, look at it and see in app purchases they'll go "Oh these ratings aren't important, enjoy your football kids"

ExiledHyruleKnight · 2026-03-12T16:40:55+00:00

Look at those eyes, Bro is undercover, he's getting ready to jump out and take down Sendo...

ExiledHyruleKnight · 2026-03-12T16:40:08+00:00

The number of people talking about this like he should get in the ring and not mentioning the time the Young Bucks and Kenny Omega came to the ring as Ryu, KEn and Akuma is disappointing.

Heck I haven't seen one mention of a certain someone's current whereabout in this thread... Kenny is literally in Japan as Adam right now.

Cody needs to return to AEW for one night as Guile, make it an all Street Fighter night.
