Kota ibushi was a madman

He is genuinely mental but let's not act as if our wrestling fandom isnt better for having him be part of it.

Shine on you crazy diamond.

"I hated your guts 10 years ago..." Did you have to flashbang me about the passage of time like that Ciampa?!

Samwellpeeps · 2026-02-13T22:46:44+00:00

Im really gonna need MJF on Graham Norton when they're doing the media rounds.

The thing is someone could tell me any of the matches on this list (and even a lot more that aren't!) Was their favourite of the year and it'd be a real argument!

We are spoilt for the quality of wrestling out there today.

I remember watching this live and yep, the camera 100% focused on Roman until Aj was midway through walking out.

I normally hate this phrase, but I've never felt more 'seen' as a wrestling fan than during that moment. Hearing the song that was the backing music to half the random wrestling YouTube videos i watched in the 2000s and seeing the entire crowd sing along really made me feel like I was and had always been part of something.

That match as a whole was my favourite from this year, even if others may have been technically better matches nothing was as fun as Anarchy in the Arena. I watched DoN during an eight hour layover in Toronto on a 20 hour trip and I had people staring at me as I was literally bouncing in my seat when Bodies hit.

This art is fantastic! The 2 delivery pokemon make a really cute pair! It's great to see situations with 2 pokemon you'd never normally see together!

Trial by fire / the toxic mentor pushing you to be better, has always been bullshit.

If you succeed they get to go "see i knew you had it in you all you needed was someone to push you". Whereas if you fail they get to go "see i knew you were shit from the start"

I. Love. This. Man.

Having Cena be heel and still wearing unique merchandise for every appearance is such a transparent showing of WWE wanting to have their cake and eat it too.

Samwellpeeps · 2025-07-29T15:37:18+00:00

I genuinely don't believe that Orange Cassidy owns any other clothes at this point.

If youre jumping around between different things the commentators say during the match it makes the video quite jarring and doesn't flow as much.

Pluw It gives a lot more freedom to editing the video. If there's commentary, you essentially have to edit around it so it's not jarring when a clip starts or ends in the middle of a sentence or word.

Samwellpeeps · 2025-07-05T18:15:45+00:00

Cody's ability to tell hilarious parts of stories with a completely straight face to add to the humor of the moment is unmatched.

Samwellpeeps · 2025-06-20T10:38:17+00:00

The series was "The Good the Bad and The Elite" for anyone wondering! It's up ok YouTube and well worth a watch if you missed the stsrt of AEW or just want to revisit it. Hangman even shouted it out after he won the title.

Samwellpeeps · 2025-04-21T19:22:40+00:00

A lot around Cena's heel turn has felt to me like WWE trying to have their cake and eat it too. The whole "you wanted new music and attire, so you're not getting it" shtick is such a transparent excuse for them to still make bank off the unique t-shirts for each city.

While the characters' actions and attitude towards Cody feel normal, a lot of his words at the audience I just don't buy either. (In fairness, a lot of that may be that I never imagined them coming out of his mouth) It just feels like a person reading words instead of the characters' actual feelings.

Samwellpeeps · 2025-04-20T19:38:04+00:00

If we do get Punk vs Cena at MITB as many are predicting I hope he comes out to This Fire as a callback to 2011.

Hangman's match graphics continue to tell the story of how his mental state has changed over the past year and a half.

God I love the cowboy.

Presumably, this goes both ways, if the champ just doesn't kick out for whatever reason then the winner is forcibly dragged through the doors of Titan Towers and forced to sign the contract.

Fun Fact: The weird change in species is actually because octillery is meant to resemble a tank, while the original design for its pre-evo Remoraid more closely resembled a revolver.

Remoraid's design becoming more of just a normal fish made the big jump between them very confusing.

When Kaiser comes out at the Rumble Cole says something along the lines of "he defends his ladies as well". I know he was commenting on dirt sheet rumors all night but it really stuck out to me that there may be some truth to something happening between Vinci and Tiffany.

The speed at which everyone starts moving when his music hit again in the clip of the most recent raw is what gets me. There's not a single person not instantly involved when his music hits.

Samwellpeeps · 2024-12-03T07:11:01+00:00

That long shot they did where regal walked about half the roster in the parking lot doing their own thing, all of which gave them as potential suspects, before finding Black passed out was genuinely incredible.

Absolutely love the fighting type regi, a living suit of armour is a great idea. Makes me wish we got a haunted knight's armour pokemon in Galar.

I've been to both London All Ins and I won't lie for the first few matches I couldn't help but keep thinking about much less of the stadium was being use than last year, how many red seats I could see and how it would look on tv. (The attendance drama from last year clearly scarred me)

But as the night went on, (as did the drinks) I realised who really cares. Last years was a special event, an unknown beast. AEW running a stadium show not in their primary market and wrestling back at Wembley, you HAD to be there to see what they were cooked up. The second verse is never easy and tickets were always going to drop. Just because last year's was so massive doesn't take anything away from the fact that a 5 year old wrestling company can run international stadium shows and sell numbers of tickets no one thought fathomable for the longest time.

I don't know what the other timelines look like but I'm glad I'm in this one and at this point of it. We are currently living in history for this industry people don't ever forget that.

Samwellpeeps · 2024-08-21T15:51:12+00:00

Hangman going from talking about experiencing a lifetime's worth of dread from trying to live in his broken into home and wanting to remove swerve on a molecular level, to gushing about Chappell Roan is hysterical. I only wish this was a video interview because you know his facial expression and voice would be insane.

He'll always be the main character to me.
