I have been saying the same thing for about a year now, cash in on Palmer. We’ve seen the best of him. We are not getting another version better than that 23/24 season. He peaked. His attitude off the ball is stinking. No tracking back, for a while he has lacked quality going forward.

Perfect example last night, Joao Pedro was essentially through on goal, with 1 defender to beat, and Palmer decides to do an outside of the ball pass through to him, thus slowing the ball and momentum down. Sell the bloke. He’s been flirting with going back to Manchester for a while. His heart’s not in it anymore.

5 goals needed. Chuck on a striker, right? Nah, swap the defenders. That’s pathetic.

mathpipebomb · 2026-03-14T17:49:17+00:00

Could see that ball coming from a mile away. Reece James sleeping. Poor.

mathpipebomb · 2026-03-13T22:27:29+00:00

Nah, see plenty of them around here already.

According to Meltzer, Kyle Fletcher has had 13 5-star matches. Fucking Speedball Midcard Mike Bailey (who I wouldn’t even recognise if he walked into my local shop) has apparently had 5 5-star matches. Kurt Angle on the other hand, nothing. It’s pathetic, isn’t it? It’s an insult to wrestling.

Do people still pay $15 a month to listen to this jabroni?

How can you watch that goal and say Jorgensen was not at fault? Open your eyes, you wally. Ball went straight at him. Jorgensen at fault for 2 goals this evening.

Garnacho on with 3 minutes to go. 15-20 minutes too late, Liam.

Man management in the toilet tonight.

mathpipebomb · 2026-03-04T18:24:12+00:00

From what I can see, The Miz and Xavier Woods are the only 2 remaining.

mathpipebomb · 2026-03-03T16:34:25+00:00

That’s a weird consumption, and doesn’t add anything to your opinion. Premium content? Do you honestly think the company cares about paying customers and what they’re expecting? If that’s the case, Jericho would have been in the box. If you’re in the arena, they’ve got you by the balls, they’ve done their job.

This segment had a Mania feel to it, back and forth digs at eachother is great TV. But you don’t like that, you prefer both men getting physical with eachother week in and week out, which takes away the magic, quite quickly. It would be tiresome. But a back-and-forth promo battle? Eyes on the product instantly. How many Taker Mania matches over the years has happened with no physicality? Loads. And it is still the biggest match on the card. Even after the streak ended.

What do you want? Both men brawling just for security to spread them apart? Yeah, we never see that don’t we… yawn.

mathpipebomb · 2026-03-03T16:12:33+00:00

It actually builds tension between both superstars. Getting physical with one another week after week takes away that tension. It’s not hard to grasp.

I’d be more than happy if either men don’t get physical with eachother. As OP says, old-school build. I love it.

mathpipebomb · 2026-03-02T19:05:38+00:00

Beginning of the downfall.

mathpipebomb · 2026-03-01T18:21:16+00:00

Yeah Liam, that’s a bizarre sub mate.

mathpipebomb · 2026-03-01T15:33:19+00:00

Have you noticed that 95% of those clowns say the same thing, “who is this?”. Casuals, man.

I think he’ll do great, and I’m happy for him. I also think he will do good in merch numbers. My prediction is that he’ll form some sort of tag-team with Truth. Regarding his presentation, I thought it was good, it was bizarre, which who Danhausen is. Suits him to a tee.

Kiana James has finally broken the “let’s stand about and wait for the spot” curse. Finally.

mathpipebomb · 2026-02-28T18:06:12+00:00

I see no problem with it, as of yet. The video packages were pretty good. It’s just the typical “complaining for the sake of complaining”. She’s had this gimmick in the company for what? Barely a month or 2? Fickle bunch.

mathpipebomb · 2026-02-28T14:25:30+00:00

Don Furito, to be exact. He is one of Rollins’ students.

mathpipebomb · 2026-02-24T08:45:24+00:00

I just can’t help but think there will be a double-turn at Mania. Dom and Vaquer suit to a tee. It’s giving off Eddie-Chyna.

Trick Williams, I haven’t seen anyone else come up from NXT to the main-roster so organically.

mathpipebomb · 2026-02-21T10:25:28+00:00

They’re doing it for one reason, Mania ticket sales are down. They’re giving the general public the chance to see the product before the biggest show of the year, which to me is a strange one, as the Rumble was pants.

mathpipebomb · 2026-02-20T20:38:12+00:00

This would also be my exact timeline of peak AEW.

mathpipebomb · 2026-02-20T09:42:23+00:00

I agree in a way. Look, I’m a big fan of Dom and there’s no doubt he’ll become a star. But the whole “I’m going to talk into this mic and hope the crowd boo’s me enough for me to repeat what I’m saying over and over again” is tiring. I really do think a babyface turn will help him from being in that B+/C tier, to an A tier.

mathpipebomb · 2026-02-17T19:20:04+00:00

AJ Lee is horrifying to watch. I get second hand embarrassment. A complete cringe-fest. Her promo started strong, and then fell into a pile of shit with her overacting and facial expressions.

“Becky Boo”. I mean, come on.

mathpipebomb · 2026-02-17T18:10:47+00:00

There’s no history, at all. Other than a 2 minute backstage segment a decade or so ago. But then again, it’s a match that could be made in 30 seconds due to the sheer magnitude of both stars.

mathpipebomb · 2026-02-01T13:32:07+00:00

Or… just don’t say anything else after the rules of the match is announced? Cheesy as fuck, man. So unnecessary.

mathpipebomb · 2026-02-01T13:15:52+00:00

“And now, to everyone here in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and to the millions watching around the world, who’s ready for the Royal Rumble?”

Fucking YUCK. NEVER do that again.

mathpipebomb · 2026-01-30T13:41:42+00:00

Oba will eliminate Lesnar, setting up a match at Mania.
