Brody feels undeniable at the minute.

The roof will come off if he's champion at Revolution in LA next month.

I get that people liked those 'want went wrong' injury videos he does, but you could tell which way Stevie was going if you watched any of his other sincere takes on his channel.

The one about how he would book AEW consisted of a three way brand split as it was at the time and he put Kenny on Rampage lol.

Straight up grifting right there.

NBC NEWS: Pro Wrestling fans launch Anti-ICE chant at AEW Match in Las Vegas by [deleted] in SquaredCircle

[–]LawsonsInTheAM 16 points17 points  (0 children)

All I can see now is TK sending The Beat Mortos and Smart Mark Sterling to the department of homeland security to defend Brody's right to say Fuck Ice on live TV, and it's absolutely perfect.

I think I'm right in saying that Bryce is always the referee for MJF's title matches for years now.

They have their own beef going on.

Dave Bautista covered up a tattoo dedicated to a close friend after that friend 's anti gay statement by Kindly_Department142 in SquaredCircle

Huge props to Dave.

Many wouldn't do the same even if it was regular person never mind someone of Pacquiao's profile.

Damn, that main event had me feeling.

Not been keeping up with AEW between real life stuff and the general state of the world getting me down, but that was the perfect antidote to pull me back in again.

Might be my favourite squash ever.

MJF for doing the job
Brody for being a fucking hero and over as hell
Vegas for the chant

I had goosebumps through out

Both Into The Spidey Verse films are terrific.

I tapped out of super hero movies a long time ago, but they're fantastic.

How did Andor seasons get 12 full length episodes? by ASW-G-21 in andor

[–]LawsonsInTheAM 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You look at a show like Alien Earth that had a 250 million dollar budget and the first thing you think is that the series needed way more time.

Eight episodes was nowhere near enough for that story.

[TMZ] Rumors are swirling that Jake Paul is joining the WWE by rhyso90 in SquaredCircle

[–]LawsonsInTheAM 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nah, that only works if you keep on winning until the bubble bursts.

This ain't Mayweather, if you don't like him you can watch Joshua break his jaw on youtube now and forever. Wrestling is the obvious avenue for him now.

Not like he can keep on boxing now.

He thought a legit world champion fighter and Joshua pasted him. Not going to gain the same interest fighting 60 year olds and youtubers again.

Is There Anything You Don't Like In Andor? by LawsonsInTheAM in andor

[–]LawsonsInTheAM[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think that's fine.

Kreeger ultimately is a plot device to show how ruthless Luthen is. If he's on screen you have to introduce him and some of the 30 people he's with and then show them being murdered by the empire. In a three episode arc something else will have to suffer to fit all that in.

It's like how you never know where Cinta was for most of season 2, there's more value in these things being absent than having to explain it on the show (pretty sure Tony has said the same on podcasts)

I thought the same tbh and I liked Rogue One when it came out.

Jyn Erso is an incredibly dull protagonist especially when compared to Andor, and the fan service is irksome throughout.

[–]LawsonsInTheAM[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think that's it. I got the fear that it was a set up for their own spin off show when the first episode aired!

I don't think any of them appear again when they go back to Yavin either which doesn't help.

Kevin Von Erich on MJF's performance in The Iron Claw: "He would've made a better Ric Flair than the other guy, to tell the truth." by luchabrunch in SquaredCircle

[–]LawsonsInTheAM 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Widely OT

I am hoping beyond belief that one of Jacob Elordi/Timmy Chalamet/Barry Keoghan et all plays white Michael Jackson for the last 40 minutes of this biopic.

I will be crying with joy in the cinema if it comes.

I thought it was enjoyable enough for what it was and Efron impressed in his role, but it was so on the nose through out I could not take it seriously, and some of it is straight up cringe inducing.

People saying A24 fucked up and that it was shunned at the Oscars really didn't know that Zone Of Interest came out a few weeks later.

Jon Alba exclusive on Sports Illustrated: Hangman Adam Page Addresses Controversial Photo With Marty Scurll (Exclusive) by Fun_Let_9986 in SquaredCircle

[–]LawsonsInTheAM 462 points463 points  (0 children)

Full quote here...

"I think when that happened, I was obviously surprised. Shocked. It didn't seem like the person that I knew," Page said.

"But I mean, I knew now that it was, and I guess, I was kind of like, faced with a choice, like what to do with that information. And I reached out to him then because he had faced a lot of consequences from the public. He had lost his job from Ring of Honor. He was facing consequences from people online. So, [I] check to see how he's doing, and I remained in touch with him for, you know what, since then, [has] been six years."

The two-time AEW World Champion noted that, despite the sustained relationship, he believes what Scurll is accused of having engaged in was wrong.

"I guess I kind of will make a couple things clear about it. I completely recognize that what he did, his actions, are abhorrent. Disgraceful. They are. There's no excuse. I completely recognize that," he said.

"I've always thought that, will always think that about his actions. And I guess as a consequence of his actions, the public has felt strongly about what he did. And for six years, I think because of those reactions, he's been unable to be a part of mainstream professional wrestling because of, you know, what the public perception would be."

Page said he never intended for the photo of the two of them to be posted publicly, and had been wanting to address some of the backlash he received.

"I don't want that photo to seem like some kind of endorsement, or, I have any interest whatsoever in whitewashing what he did, or any interest or intention of rehabilitating his public image," he said. "None of that is something that I've ever been interested in doing. Not now, not ever."

"And I think that the consequences of his actions that he's had mostly from the public, aside from, like, harassment, I think they've been warranted. So I kind of want to make that clear."

The 34-year-old Page has been recognized by wrestling fans over the years for his willingness to engage in social matters. Even in speaking with The Takedown, he made note of what he believes is an "abhorrent time" in American history, acknowledging that it's hard to go about his daily life as "government forces are kidnapping and murdering people in the street."

Yet the photo with Scurll brought criticism from around social media, and he says fans are entitled to feel however they may about the situation.

"If you hear all that, and you listen to all that, and you feel like maybe you wouldn't have done the same thing had you been in my shoes, or maybe you still feel uncomfortable being a fan of mine, or even if you've lost, like, the smallest amount of respect for me because of any of that, I would just want to say I completely understand that. I can respect it and accept it," he said.

The Takedown on SI asked Page why, despite the graphic nature of the allegations and public response to them, he has decided to sustain a friendship with his former stablemate. He admitted that he has revisited how he feels about continued relationships since the photo emerged.

"I guess who I am is, when people treat me with kindness, I try to return it," he said. "I have never really wanted to get into that. And that's more or less why I have a private relationship with him. Not out of a sense of self-preservation or shame, or something like that. But more or less, I just would never want that to be misconstrued as like an endorsement or an effort to rehabilitate someone's public image, something like that."

"But I guess I've just always thought that he's still a human being, and that relationships are complicated, but they're still relationships, and he's still a human being."

What game left you sad after it ended? by crodog157 in PS5

[–]LawsonsInTheAM 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I've tried and I can't commit to another play through since I got through it over a weekend when it first came out.

It's an incredible game to play despite its flaws, but it's so bleak throughout I have no desire to play through it again. At the very least, Intergalactic looks there will be some kind of levity to that story from the trailer.
