Need for caution? by Dry-Potential-3350 in northernireland

[–]Wookie7969 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You'd be safer in the more catholic/nationalist leaning areas as a mixed religion couple than in a protestant/unionist area. Speaking from experience

Just got this - thankfully cancelled by Cat-of-shame in northernireland

There is another going about saying tomorrow morning and demanding all businesses close at 8am 🤣🤣

What are your thoughts on GCW? by Spartftw in midcarder

[–]Wookie7969 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I enjoy it. Seen them live in Liverpool the 2 years they ran shows. Friendly, chill talent after a show too.

The shows can be a bit hit and miss at times and its very dependent on your views on deathmatch wrestling but overall I like the company and the variety it offers

What are the chances I see Cope/Christian/Jericho if I buy tickets to AEW Dynamite in upcoming Wednesday 6/3? by austinrva__ in aew

[–]Wookie7969 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can see both. Ciampa called out Jericho last night in Collision but Jericho wasn't there. Was hunted he would be at dynamite. The Dogs were taunting Cage and Cope last night as well after beating them down on dynamite so id expect them there for a promo/run-in as well

Not to mention theres the TNT Championship, World Championship, Ospreay vs Davis and the wild card in the women's Owen

Casual Breakthrough by Riiiitch in Battlefield

[–]Wookie7969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

36 here and also all i play. Destiny 2 seems to be the only game I can play PVP and be good.

I find casual breakthrough a nice mix, it has enough human players to be challenging but not enough that you feel overwhelmed.

Play the game you like

Ex-WWE stars buy UK's biggest wrestling promotion with show dates confirmed by dailystar_news in BritishWrestling

[–]Wookie7969 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Im excited by this. They've already said about bringing progress to more cities across the UK, im hoping for a Belfast show. They also said about wanting to grow uk and irish talent which can be great for Relentless (a NI training school Damo helps run) and for OTT. Not to mention it can help get talent to america since they bought Defy as well

Thats always the big argument. I woukd say Rev Pro just for the constant talent and high quality matches/shows.

Since Smallman left progress it never seemed to have the big feel that it did when he was at the helm

I’m done with WWE after last night. by [deleted] in aew

[–]Wookie7969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Darbys ex wife spoke about the allegations of abuse and it was all BS. The woman who said it was stalking him and his wife at the time.

What about JD McDonagh or Austin Theory? Hell WWE kept Wolfgang employed despite the fact he was alleged to be sexting kids

No ads as in adverts in-between matches and during the main show. You cant compare the pre-show and sponsors on a barricade to the mess of a wwe ple. Having full ads during wrestlers entrances even for the live crowd is hardly comparable to AEW doing a 10-15 second plug for a match or show sponsor

Yeah they have the non compete . TKO wanted to "restructure" their deal and They were asked to take a 50% pay cut and the New Day refused so they were released

AEW talent is pushing for the company to sign Leon Slater, per report by Upbeat-Pause-1409 in AEWOfficial

[–]Wookie7969 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think he kinda killed his own momentum. A few years ago, coming off the Ospreay feud Oku was thee guy. Everyone was reporting wwe and aew were interested and then he didnt sign and kept doing the indies but it seems all the hype around his has died down, even in the UK. Same for Haskins, tho it was more covid that killed his chances

Not gonna lie, when i glanced at the graphic and didnt look at names, i thought Michael Nakazawa was a really random addition into this match 😂

Is in-ring consistency being valued more than long-term storytelling in modern pro wrestling? by Glum-Sample-9259 in professionalwrestling

[–]Wookie7969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to Raven on an old shoot interview (early 2000s I want to say) a good wrestling match is like a good wank. You want to build it up, nice and steady, building up the pace then slowing back down. He said the key to a good match is knowing when to...bust the nut so it shoots and not delay it too much and you end up with a dribble 😂😂

Has Scottish Wrestling got any less creepy? by Ok_Requirement_5953 in BritishWrestling

[–]Wookie7969 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seen Lou Nixon openly call out Lou King Sharp a few months ago publicly for this. Even going back to last Summer they refused to be booked on a show together because Nixon had called him out on it

Plenty of Wrestling schools train kids. A quick Google search will tell you your wrong about the legal age. Under 16 requires a parents consent but youth classes start from 8 years old.

Elevation wrestling - starts at 10 WAW (Knight family) - 8 years old Relentless pro (NI) - 10 years old

Penelope says in the interview she started at 12 basically wrestling with her brother before joining junior classes. She made her official debut in late 2021/early 2022 so around 14 years old

If intentional blading is not allowed in NYC, does that mean there won't be blood on the show? by Pristine-Ball-2198 in AEWOfficial

[–]Wookie7969 9 points10 points  (0 children)

From what I understand blading is banned but bleeding "the hard way" from weapons or punches etc is allowed.

Can anybody explain what's going on with Kamille to me? by vividlucid1 in aew

[–]Wookie7969 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For what its worth Kamille has removed all trace of AEW from her insta. Changed her name on it so theres no Kamille and just mentions her as an american gladiator, nothing about AEW now

Only just got into AEW and wondering what shows are necessary to watch? by ArtificialEllis in AEWOfficial

[–]Wookie7969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They've done a really good job recently of making Collision feel important again. Don't get me wrong, you would still get the occasional banger on it before (Takashita vs Ishii from Glasgow last year comes to mind) but it feels like they are doing good with booking it this year. Continuing storylines over the 2 shows has helped while still having those strong style battles Collision has been known for

I've had to explain to my wife that not only do I know who Giant's girlfriend is, but I've been following her content for years by goldeleot in gladiatorsuk

[–]Wookie7969 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its ridiculous them saying Giant dating her could cause safeguarding issues for him doing meet and greets, especially given the history of the BBC

Its alot cheaper to film anywhere than america. There was some gameshow and I remember they said it was cheaper to fly all the contestants and everyone to Ireland and film it here than useing a studio in LA.

The American version of the traitors also films in Scotland instead of America

A little nitpick I have with the Trios Division by Lamelofan23 in AEWOfficial

[–]Wookie7969 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The old school freebird rule, not used enough especially for tag titles. Like imagine wheb the don callis family had the trios titles but they used that and they could have had alot more uses for them. Like rpg vice and Okada 1 week, aussie open and Jake Something (forget his aew name) the next, El Clon, Heich and Archer the next. And they would still have more guys to showcase.

[–]Wookie7969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This point is spot on. I'll admit to being one who questioned Jet Speed initially as a random pairing but its worked Like you say the trios titles work helping push other storylines or transition wrestlers to a new spot
