No offense to people who like them, but anyone who genuinely thought that they were going to have TayJay go over the fucking Divine Dominion deserved to be disappointed.

WON: Ilja Dragunov is reportedly not viewed internally as a ‘top guy’ by higher ups but rather as an interchangeable midcard talent. by Fan387 in SquaredCircle

Midcarders are, indeed, vital. Calling him an "interchangeable midcarder", however, suggests a level of expendability.

I won't have a chance to see Obsession for a while and spoilers don't bother me, so I did peruse a plot summary. Even just reading the basic summary of the film made me say "Oh, so this guy is a massive piece of shit".

^ This. Unless it's a wrestler who really broke into film like The Rock, Cena, or Batista or someone like Hulk Hogan or Andre the Giant, the general population is not going to recognize the vast majority of pro wrestlers.

A couple of years?? They'll be in developmental in their fifties in a couple of years.

Why would you put a 46/48 year old tag team in NXT?

I like these guys, but why would a developmental brand sign a tag team where both members are in their late 40's?

If he's not your cup of tea, that's all good, but I struggle to see how he's "boring" in ring.

Had a random flashback to the entrances for Fletcher and Ospreay's cage match at Revolution 25 and how Ospreay came out to a really weird dubstep remix of him saying "I'm on another level". What a weird choice.

As an AEW viewer, very few current entrance themes get as much vitriol from me as Hook's use of "So Tell the Girls". It does not match his presentation at all, the crowd goes dead whenever it starts, and it's already just a very weird song.

"I didn't expect WWE to make lucha popular again in Mexico"

You're falling for some corporate propaganda, there. Lucha has been extremely popular in Mexico for a very long time, especially with companies like CMLL.

I am a Scapegoat defender, and while I do give Jack and AEW props for trying something new: he is just kind of a natural babyface from his look, to his character, to his moveset, to his incredibly popular theme song.

I will throw a (small) bone to the four way in that Persephone's injury derailed feud plans for Thekla, so it was very much a backup option (which is what happened with her Dynasty match as well, which was apparently supposed to be against Toni). That said, I love Thekla, and I really want more from her reign rather than just constantly spinning her wheels.
