December 6, 20231 yr comment_6014947 The Continental Classic has been a total blast thus far. Good cast, despite so many big stars not being in it, terrific matches after terrific matches, a feel of importance and freshness. Everything I ever wanted from AEW. The Women though... jeez, Kiera Hogan vs Abadon ? Really ? that's it ? There was really a need for Vikingo vs Sabian, you couldn't get Statlander, Skye, Willow, hell even the Outcast in that spot ? Where has Taya Valkyrie vanished btw ? I'm sure Mercedes and Giulia are salivating at the prospect of working there...

And given the ticket sales for All In 2, it is not going anywhere, much as that might disappoint some people with parasocial relationships to WWE (all you need to do is browse Elon Musk's Twitter to understand what I am talking about) Yup. Parasocial relationship with "stars" are bad enough, but with companies, now that's the most absurd effect of ultra-capitalism. Same thing goes for Apple (although maybe not so much now), Starbucks and the likes. People are just brainwashed. I gotta say I did not expect such an advance for the second All In, especially with prices that have been said to be higher. Although let's say they get 50.000, which would be great, and WWE zombies would call it a huge fail, so there's no way out of it with these people. 2001-2018 really has had a disastrous effect on US pro-wrestling.
December 6, 20231 yr comment_6014960 I'm hoping Dave Karger runs in with a steel chair... And then turns on Mankiewicz and becomes the lead host of TCM. Edit: Actually I'm hoping Robert Osborne comes out and reveals that he faked his death as just a wrestling storyline. "It was me, Mankiewicz! It was me all along!" There's your long term booking.
