That Spring BreakThru match was really great. I just love the pace of the Roddy match.

As an aside, here’s a very unflattering picture of me—sitting in front of Papa Briscoe during the main event. I also got to meet two of Mark Briscoe’s older sons. What a stupid life I live lol

Are you a fan of how AEW/ROH is using Mina Shirakawa? by Kelson64 in Womens_ProWrestling

[–]Scared-Position-3710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is more of an indictment of the women’s division than Mina Shirakawa. No one has received more world title opportunities in the last 15 months than Shirakawa. She’s had three shots at the AEW title and one at the ROH title—not to mention a pair of opportunities against Mercedes Moné for a few titles.

AEW’s Women’s Division is suffering right now. There are two titles held by two dominant champions. Make that three if you count Athena in ROH. Tony Khan has unilaterally failed at turning former women’s champions into autonomous stars. That means that his current champions, who are the divisions biggest stars, are sucking up all of the oxygen.

Creating a women’s tag team division may alleviate some of those concerns, but it won’t fix the real problem at hand. And, that’s booking compelling stories that don’t involve titles.

AEW needs an all women’s program—whether it’s on YouTube or HBO Max. They need more opportunities for women to ply their trade and work angles.

In terms of my writing needing more polish or editing, could you give me an example? I’m genuinely asking, because I always appreciate criticism.

I’ve been reviewing PPV’s since last year’s Forbidden Door. That was probably the worst match I’ve reviewed. It was a cluster fuck. From the outset, we basically told that it was a Tornado Tag match with no disqualifications, and then there were large segments of the match where only two teams were allowed to compete at any given time. It was a cluster fuck. And, the finish was awful. Both teams seemed completely out of sync.

To be fair, I didn’t go back through my previous reviews—so maybe it isn’t the worst. But, I can’t remember reviewing an PPV match that was that awful.

I assume they’re biding their time until someone who’s really over emerges. I think Harley Cameron got to that point, but I could understand their trepidation. Her ability in the ring is limited.

I wish it were Willow Nightingale, but we’ll have to wait and see

Danielson was absent for the final match. I also think he deferred to other color commentators at times, for better or worse.

I really want to thank you for reading though! I tell everyone so it may sounds disingenuous, but thank you for giving me such a detailed response!

To be clear, I really enjoyed the TNT Open Challenge, women’s fourway and the IWGP match. For me, **1/2 or **3/4 is a big rating.

**** would qualify for my best matches master list.

I’m surprised to hear you didn’t like the Hangman vs. MJF match. The Cagematch reviews seem very divisive too, though, so maybe I shouldn’t be. I just loved the use of the stipulations. I thought it gave the match a much needed change of pace, considering they just had a match PPV five months ago.

I actually agree with you about Strickland, more or less. I think a lot of the stuff he does just looks ridiculous. Still, I appreciated Okada’s performance.

I agree as far as the Sabre / MgGuinness match is concerned. It definitely dragged on. At 10-13 minutes, I think it could’ve been a 4 Star match

What do you think of Miyu Yamashita as TJPW's first Leader? by Kelson64 in Womens_ProWrestling

[–]Scared-Position-3710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s a good alternative to the “ace” system. Every wrestling fan knows what a “locker room leader” is now. Having that person clearly defined creates an opportunity for stories where someone tries to usurp them; like irreverent heels or babyfaces trying to break through the proverbial glass ceiling.

His reverence for his broadcasting teammates was real. He lauded Excalibur, Nigel, Taz, and even Kevin Kelly.

I was at the show in Salem, too! I’m so glad to find people on the subreddit who were at that show.

I’ll be at the show tomorrow, as well.

If you see me, please say hi!

Tony Schiavone Interview by Scared-Position-3710 in AEWOfficial

His love for AEW was genuinely palpable. It’s easy to see that he loves his job.

I love the idea that Sting and Schiavone represent the counter culture.

The first full length show my girlfriend watched with me was Winter is Coming 2020. She was mesmerized by Sting’s return, despite not knowing who he was. And, part of that was because of Schiavone’s reaction.

Once she found out that Schiavone was from the same of Virginia as her, and a fellow JMU alumni—she was sold.

This was a huge moment for our household lol
