    I liking AEW, the Darby character is good, a lot could be done with him, Jungle boy and his mates are quite funny and obviously the main guys like Cody Rhoades and Kenny Omega are good, all though I've never been much of a Jericho fan but I like it far more enjoyable than the WWE these days :fear:

    He said in 1 interview one of his parents support Rangers and one Celtic, my guess the ma supported Rangers and he had to pick one. Can't believe anybody with a Catholic family would support them.

    That's because anyone over the age of 16 who watches wrestling is a nonce...

    Rumble was a shambles to be honest.

    They really need to stop using the out of the ring loop hole to allow wrestlers to get to the end.

    Should be a rule, if you go through the ropes, you've got 30 seconds to get back in, or be eliminated.

    ****Spoilers from here on*****

    Flair missed a massive chunk of that match and swans in at the end, shanya (or whatever the spelling) mysteriously then doesnt just drop kick her off the ropes? Pish.

    Same goes for drew, he snuck out the ring and waited it out as well.
    Which is only the second bad thing in the men's rumble, the fact they spent the first half of the men's rumble allowing Lesnar to just toss each competitor over the rope was equally a joke.

    Flair shouldn't be winning anyway, * boring. The act is so stale. Problem is outside of Bayley, Asuka and Lynch the women's division is pretty gash. I mean putting Lana (jwho is a right useless *) in a lesbian angle is on bra and panties match level

    Aye for a division that was actually very promising, they have sure * wasted it.
    There is two or three from NXT they need to promote fast and get a proper title division on the go.

    Would probably be better to not have the show split for the women either and just make it a cross brand division.

    They have the belts to give reasons for matches, they struggle to make matches without it being a title match these days. They can't make stories so it's basically just skmeone wanting a reason to challenge. But the talent pool isn't there. Nia Jax (injured I think) always gets pushed despite being crap on the mic and in ring, Sonya Deville playing an mma fighter, but you have the most famous female mma fighter on your books plus 3 others who have been on ufc, so pointless gimmick. Iconic duo are *. Snuka, even worse than her dad but I suppose she doesn't kill, Naomi should just * off. Ruby Riot was great on the indy scene, but they have not given her momentum. Paige was bad as a wrestler, bad as an on screen character now.
    They need to get Taya and Rosemary in, also promote from NXT and try and push them. Just right now it feels like the Flair division. It can be good as Lynch was amazing last year, 1st good character in wrestling in ages

    I find it odd that when tna did it they were branded copies of Lucha Underground but WWE have done something masterful. It was good but it isn't a gimmick that is innovative or that should be used too often but it's something Sting could use, maybe even Hogan to cover up how beat up they all are.
    The rest was pretty meh though.

    That Wyatt/Cena match was the trippiest thing I’ve ever seen on WWE
