@Denim&Venöm What is Danhausen?   I know he's inspired by Conan O'Brien but what is his gimmick supposed to be?

You're asking the wrong questions. You have to ask yourself "Why is Danhausen?"

 You know how you watch "Being The Elite"? 

 I've become a fan of "All Ego" Ethan Page through watching his vlogs over the last couple of days. That said, I've never seen any of his matches.

I tend to steer from most vlogs as my wrestling plate is kinda full as is. Page is pretty decent but not mind blowing. EC3 and MJF pull off his schtick better. Not even teaming with Scorpio Sky sets the world afire. Men of the year feels like the worst parts of the North and SCU put together. Not bad. But not spectacular. 

Great. Now I wanna see a Josh Alexander/ Frankie Kazarian team up.

There's always someone who is "better" than someone else and that's what makes wrestling so great.

People can like different wrestling styles, match types etc. but in the end we're all fans and that's what brings us together.

There are only so many ways you can play a gimmick though. 

[Denim&Venöm 19,061]

It's the dream match we've always wanted. 

Shingo Takagi vs. Hiromu Takehashi in Korukuen hall.

In the ultimate hybrid of kick the can, tag and hide n' seek!

 

[Denim&Venöm 19,061]

Welp, I guess you could say this past Dynamite was... explosive.

Guess who's now all elite?

Spoiler

 

Bask in his glory! All Elite is now Limitless!

 

And guess who else is now All Elite?

Spoiler

 

 

 

Forbidden door has been opened once more. And who steps out but another member of Bullet Club. The Switchblade himself.

Do you still believe that AEW isn't becoming another WCW or Impact Wrestling by signing more of WWE's former employees?

If WCW or Impact did it right, then yes. I'd say they're more like ECW. Bam bam, Stunning Steve, Terry Funk, Robby V, Scotty Flamingo. AEW is doing what they did and using them to their full potential.

Slightly unrelated but I'm watching early 02 and 03 episodes of SmackDown I feel like Tazz is one of the best commentators WWE ever had. 

He tells the story of the match while also describing the moves and their effects on the wrestlers bodies.

He's gotten back into that habit on AEW, where it feels like from WWECW to TNA he was just comedic relief. During that entire run, he was serious twice. His feud with Jerry Lawler and him facing off with Bully Ray near the end of Aces n' 8s (even if it was just a swerve). Speaking of Taz commentary:

 

[Denim&Venöm 19,061]

So you know that Hiromu vs. Shingo match I posted last week?

Well now it has English subs and commentary!

I keep forgetting that Kushida currently works for WWE. I hope he makes it on to WWE2K22's roster! 

Thank You for reminding me with your Japanese wrestling post, BWBFF! @Denim&Venöm

Well he was Crusierweight champ earlier this year before it got retired again. And he wasn't part of the corporate bloodletting. So I imagine he'd be in. 

We'll see how long he lasts with WWE's new directive of no more indy wrestlers in NXT.

Kushida will undoubtedly be on the 2k22 roster. I'm actually excited to give him a try if he is.

I REALLY hope Molly Holly is carried over from WWE2K20's roster like 2K usually does for their legend rosters.  

Molly was a totally unexpected edition in 2K20 who I had wanted back in the WWE games for YEARS so I was very happy to see her return. 

Maybe now that she's working for WWE again Molly's chances of being in WWE2K games again will be a bit stronger.

I just want one game with Kushida and hopefully Molly Holly, Trish Stratus and Ruby Riott*  as playable characters that lets me play a Royal Rumble

without crashing midway through. 

 

Crashing during Royal Rumbles happened every time I played them in WWE2K20 and I'm sad because I LOVE watching and playing that match.

 

*I know Ruby's a BIG stretch but sometimes released wrestlers carry over to the newest 2K game that I don't expect.

Never say never. I believe Buddy Murphy was confirmed for the game and he was part of the mass releases.

1. Liv Morgan by herself feels weird to me since both of her teammates aren't in WWE with her.

2. We'll find out on Tuesday what WWE2K22's roster* will be! I'm prepping myself to be 50% disappointed as far as legends are concerned. 

*Apparently, they're only showing 24 wrestlers.

Hey. 

Something crazy went down at last night's NWA powerr tapings. 

Spoiler

Congrats to Long island Iced Z for finally becoming world champ.

Either this Cody Rhodes leaving AEW is a work or he's taking the Lauren Faust approach, where s/he takes a property, makes it successful

and bows out when their job is done.

Rumour has it he's gonna take a stab at politics back in his home state of Texas. Made some BTE vignettes about it pre-All In.

Twitter seems to think Cody is going back to WWE. Posting this gif with Bad News Barrett just in case they're wrong.

It's possible. Cody ain't above working a Lesnar schedule for a Lesnar payday. WWE will offer whatever just to offset the metric of Ex-WWE to AEW confirmed.
