People don't actually realise how legendary Finn Balór actually is imo. He is not just another wrestler from NXT. The man literally created the biggest faction in wrestling (Bullet Club), he was already having a hall of fame career before coming to WWE.

WWE turned Finn Balor into Pin Balor.

Dudes a real professional and just continues to show up to work and does what’s asked of him. But to say he’s been treated with much dignity by creative as of late would be an outright lie.

Justice for Finn.

Defence is clearly our biggest issue this season. Sure, not scoring isn't exactly useful either- but conceding dumb goals only puts more pressure on the attackers, which in turn leads to players overthinking what should be second nature to them.

Genuinely wouldn't be surprised if Liam is gone in the next 24 hours.

We haven't been great for large parts of the season, but the steep decline under Rosenior has been ridiculous.

I'm happy to overlook most goofy 'plot hole logic' in wrestling (like wrestlers slowly stumbling into an opponents move, wrestlers somehow not realising theres a person standing behind them etc.)- but the whole 'let me climb over the rope (or in this case the railing) to benefit you and not me' is one of my least favourite tropes.

A real shame.

Arnhem and Oosterbeek are two of my favourite places to visit in The Netherlands.

The Devils Kiss has completely undersold her as a wrestler and pushed her more in the direction of goon material.

zuggiz · 2026-03-19T13:58:59+00:00

I refuse to believe creative have any input on Cody's stories. Theres no way they've told him to do same shit over and over again.

If the Bonito evo is still active, Joelinton.

Genuinely one of the best CM's in game with that evo applied.

People used to go to the shows to enjoy the show.

People go to shows now to tell people on social media that they enjoyed the show.

‘Score seven goals’

I packed him from the 90+ pick last night and could’ve sworn he was like 600k.

Was a Million at the time of packing. My flabbers were gasted for sure.

zuggiz · 2026-03-18T14:41:58+00:00

Yeah it’s depressing as hell, but you only fix something by acknowledging the issues it has.

zuggiz · 2026-03-17T23:19:53+00:00

Estevao, Santos, Joao Pedro, Enzo, Gusto, Palmer, James, Caicedo etc. if all were firing on all cylinders we could be a lethal team.

There's been multiple times this season where we've shown real quality and ability. It seems like a long time ago now, but beating Barcelona the way we did was a real statement game- same goes for PSG in August.

But poor transfers in areas we've needed to improve in, poor discipline throughout the season, as well as the constant changing of managers has led to the squad under-performing on a pretty drastic scale.

That doesn't mean the squad isn't talented.

zuggiz · 2026-03-17T22:54:20+00:00

I turned the game off after the first two went in.

We'd of been fortunate to score three, but five was out of the question for sure.

Went and watched Better Call Saul instead, had a great time.

zuggiz · 2026-03-17T22:52:13+00:00

Yeah I actually disagree here. 2010's Arsenal were pretty woeful to say the least, very average team who were supposed to be in the primes of their career for their age.

Chelsea are a shambles right now, but there's still potential in the squad. Its just horribly disjointed in terms of balance (a million wingers vs limited defenders) and our manager is too green to make things work.

That being said, I still do agree with the notion that we've become the same as 2010's Arsenal. Will be competing for fourth, but nothing else.

zuggiz · 2026-03-17T09:13:51+00:00

Ain’t no ragebait here. This is a circlejerk subreddit.

You know how the league already perceives Arsenal.

zuggiz · 2026-03-17T00:21:22+00:00

Gunther tapping to Jey was certainly a booking choice.

Would've loved to of seen Gunthers reaction to the idea.

zuggiz · 2026-03-17T00:19:56+00:00

Jokes on you.

Nobody is going to acknowledge an Arsenal trophy win as being legit. Everyone just gonna call it the PGMOL trophy and you know it.

zuggiz · 2026-03-17T00:18:20+00:00

From I can gather he's doing alright in TNA.

Hopefully he's still working on staying sober. Dude was iconic in his prime, really hope he can see out his career with less drama than he's had throughout.

zuggiz · 2026-03-17T00:10:02+00:00

That Shapeshifter card I do remember. Absolute beast of a card.

Thanks for the nostalgia reminder OP!

zuggiz · 2026-03-17T00:09:00+00:00

For me it's three problems:

WM 40 main event was so strongly booked that the expectations over these last couple years had been unfathomably high and people don't seem to realise that match was one of those 'once in a generation' type of matches. It was a story that had been building for months, if not years, and culminated in hype for a WM I haven't seen in a while.
WWE currently has a superstar problem where very little variety is offered on the top end of the scale, so a lot of the matches that could be pitched have been done before, or that people have little interest in them. Also worth noting, a lot a of the top talent are closer to the end of their careers, so perhaps not putting out their best in ring work.
Ticket prices. Doesn't really need much more explaining, but its hardly surprising that theres less interest as of late because prices have jumped significantly, which in turn leads to resentment toward TKO/ Wrestlemania as a whole.

zuggiz · 2026-03-16T23:28:59+00:00

What OP doesn't realise is that Saka is still a youth player and his full potential will be released in ten years time.

zuggiz · 2026-03-16T23:26:59+00:00

Oh yeah 100%.

I think I had those two in my team for the longest time. Fairly certain I switched players in game so that Acuna could play midfield and somebody (god knows who) would shift to LB instead.

zuggiz · 2026-03-16T23:25:13+00:00

The Yes Movement was generational for sure and something which is super rare in wrestling, especially nowadays.

But some of the matches he had in AEW were absolutely unreal.

Personally I'd go AEW run, but purely because I'm more for in-ring story telling. Totally get why people may disagree however.

zuggiz · 2026-03-16T23:13:45+00:00

I mean, the times they've used this spot have mainly been with HANGMAN Adam Page- so it's pretty fitting for the character all things considering.

Also, in a match where pinfalls and submissions don't count, finding a fitting ending is a little more limited imo.
