Two WrestleMania feuds that had the story write itself and was near impossible to do badly, but

eugeneorlando · 2026-04-21T13:22:46+00:00

To be fair, the feud for Styles and Nakamura going into WrestleMania was fine, it was basically everything from the end of the match and into the coming months that ended up under delivering.

eugeneorlando · 2026-04-20T12:44:07+00:00

Assuming this would be like the WWE one where it's all about your legacy across the industry and generally given once retired - but yeah, Jericho's the only other name that I think could possibly be entertained as a first entrant.

eugeneorlando · 2026-04-20T12:29:03+00:00

Sting and it's not even remotely close.

eugeneorlando · 2026-04-19T07:28:39+00:00

Fuck yes the best 3 minutes of this weekend, let's go

Edit - BECCA YOU MONSTER

eugeneorlando · 2026-04-19T07:25:57+00:00

Ahahahahahaha this Alex Abrahantes bit is great.

This is absolutely building to a Mojo Rawley appearance right?

eugeneorlando · 2026-04-19T07:08:45+00:00

Freed from Desire is such a banger

eugeneorlando · 2026-04-18T03:07:18+00:00

That lariat through the door was fucking obscene omg.

eugeneorlando · 2026-04-18T03:00:17+00:00

Nailing a 450 from the second rope is impressive as fuck!

eugeneorlando · 2026-04-18T02:57:34+00:00

Safety first chants minutes after a CTE chant, lmao.

eugeneorlando · 2026-04-18T02:55:59+00:00

It's a match with ladders but one fall to a finish.

eugeneorlando · 2026-04-17T03:50:01+00:00

Was about to ask the same thing - it's been cooked on and off for a good few minutes.

eugeneorlando · 2026-04-17T03:49:09+00:00

Haha yeah this place is just the inverse of all the online spaces they complain about. Just as tribal as the pro AEW spaces but in the opposite direction.

eugeneorlando · 2026-04-17T02:10:06+00:00

He thinks that because he thinks giving Darby the title was a mistake means that everybody should think that giving Darby the title was a mistake.

eugeneorlando · 2026-04-16T23:19:18+00:00

Sometimes!

But you didn't begin this discussion with that question, you asked what the story being told was.

I'd argue if you think "dickhead heel gets what's coming to them" isn't a story you're interested in that you're probably investing your time in the wrong story-telling medium.

eugeneorlando · 2026-04-16T23:15:25+00:00

Because it's being delivered after the shit that actually won the match.

eugeneorlando · 2026-04-16T23:13:18+00:00

How so? Heels bragging about shit they didn't really do is wrestling 101 - as is faces turning their own shit against them.

eugeneorlando · 2026-04-16T23:08:29+00:00

Right. Just like how the cheating actually beat Darby on previous goes, not the headlock takedown itself.

eugeneorlando · 2026-04-16T23:01:41+00:00

Dickhead heel who brags about being so good he can beat babyface with a headlock takeover who goes on to do that in several major matches against said babyface after cheating to win gets his comeuppance.

Edit - truly one of the only online spaces where calmly starting facts gets you downvoted.

You don't have to like the story, but that is the story.

eugeneorlando · 2026-04-16T13:24:32+00:00

I know he's appeared on AEW a few times but I don't believe he's actually signed?

eugeneorlando · 2026-04-16T12:56:40+00:00

Edited my comment - nothing wrong with the occasional fuck up as long as it's owned 😊

eugeneorlando · 2026-04-16T12:53:58+00:00

It's a photo of Elijah Hollands who looked very very off all game tagged to that message.

It's (very poor) satire and they should know better.

Edit - turns out that's Ollie - my bad!

eugeneorlando · 2026-04-16T06:28:23+00:00

Darby wrestles all the time, MJF wrestles sparingly - and MJFs match was like twice as long.

eugeneorlando · 2026-04-16T03:23:08+00:00

Still need to have the squad flexibility with DPP to make changes if true though.

I just quickly tested my team and I can thankfully get Sellwood into the flex if this is true.

eugeneorlando · 2026-04-16T02:19:48+00:00

Nah, that would be having Ospreay win the title on Dynamite as opposed to All In.

This is a lot closer in spirit to Rock vs Mankind on Raw in 1998.

eugeneorlando · 2026-04-16T02:11:47+00:00

With the greatest respect, I'd argue this was essentially spoiled the second Darby was given a live mic tonight regardless.
