This card is probably better than High Stakes. If Royce can get his body and mind right, he has more upside than any local male talent in my opinion. Unfortunately, Hawthorn might be lucky to win a couple of games this year, so I will be giving this a miss in the hope I’ll see a rare win. I...

They’ve already announced they’re going back in August to Civc Hall which is interesting. Based on prior press, I’d understood that to be the MLW show, but that’s not clear. I thought the whole layout of the event was really good in that everything was walkable, so it seems like a good...

Got in this morning and will probably go to everything through the next two days. Bischoff was good. He’s a lot better when he isn’t just throwing out controversial takes for Twitter. The only downside was when he strayed into AEW bashing territory (“Tony Khan wants to be Eric Bischoff or...

Meanwhile, for OPW/Starrcast this week it looks like they've sold 53/522 tickets for the Kickoff Party, 75/522 tickets for Bischoff, and 332/522 for the Hitman (in each case not including the platinum ticket holders for whom there will be an additional five rows at the front). There are still...

WWE wouldn’t even permit AEW to use archival footage of Sting in connection with his final match. There’s no way AEW should accommodate a contracted wrestler showing up on WWE TV. AEW also allows their active wrestlers to be filmed on WWE shows like the Hall of Fame (like Buddy Matthews)...

Night 2 was better than Night 1 - just about every match delivered (the six man was comically bad but still managed to be entertaining, though I could do without Bubba Ray ever being on TV again). The main event was good for what it was. The post-show stuff felt a lot less organic than say...

If the story is a 52 year-old who can’t go any more, and three guys substantively in self-preservation mode because they have to back up tomorrow, you’re right: this is brilliant storytelling.

For all their recent shortcomings, AEW’s PPVs absolutely blow WWE’s premium shows out of the water. Following all the pomp and circumstance, when the lights come on and the bell rings, most of these matches are just meandering and middle-of-the-road.

This feels like an episode of Raw with a bigger crowd and more pyro. None of these matches have been better than average.

Jordan Crawford shaping up to be Gary Ablett circa 1989 (just hopefully the result is the same)

I keep getting an error when I do that too. What a debacle. Bring back the days of lining up at Bass.

Anyone having issues viewing their tickets on the Ticketek app? I bought a couple on Friday, have SMS link, but gone to check and they’re not there.

OPW booking the Starrcast like a fully randomised battle royal circa Wrestlemania 2000 on the N64, and I am here for it. Hyped for the next four announcements to be Headbanger Thrasher, Jerry Lynn, Jerry Flynn and Ivory.

I know Perth is starved of quality live entertainment and routinely ignored by touring bands and the like, so the “just happy to be here” vibe is probably informing some of the positive reviews. But that was a C-grade show at best. Four hours for four matches, capped off by the gigantic...

That main event was an embarrassment but the calibre of talent on that show vs this one is poles apart. Roman actually bothered to come, for starters.

WWE took the WA government’s money and promptly delivered up a high budget house show with half the usual number of matches.

I think it's Savio. Is Mitch Waterman the bloke talking to Brooksy?

There is nothing incoherent about what I posted. All of these things can be true. My assessment of Hogan would be along similar lines. He’s full of it, but I’d still be open to going along to hear him speak for the entertainment value.

What's wrong with Bischoff? I personally find him to be an insufferable carny with an overinflated sense of his own pro-wrestling acumen and business instincts more broadly. I also find him to be either habitually dishonest or simply incapable of remembering events as they transpired 25...

Is the EPW show live or available to watch on-demand anywhere?

Bear in mind that if it runs and the complainant is not successful, or she achieves a lower award of damages than McMahon/TKO offers pursuant to the terms of a settlement offer which she rejects, she is on the hook for some exorbitant amount of legal fees (I think the statute under which this...

I thought the matches today were better on the whole, but maybe it’s because of my expectations for them (Knight v Brooks felt like it underdelivered a little bit yesterday and it was too hard to disaggregate the shenanigans from the actual match in the main event, whereas I didn’t expect a...

The matches on both days ranged from good to great. Today in particular was quality from top to bottom. It is still (in my view) the best promotion in Vic for in-ring quality and presentation. On that basis, it’s definitely worth the $10 or whatever it costs to view on FITE. Longer term...

MCW Night 1: “this might be the worst booked main event ever”. MCW Night 2: “hold my beer”.

*3rd most over behind Delta and Edwin

I reckon that’s the worst main event I’ve seen in years. The match was fine minus the garbage fake injury spot, but turning your three top babyfaces heel sure is a decision. People went tonight wanting Slex to triumph as the babyface. Buddy is not credible in the underdog role and doesn’t...

This MCW main event is horrendous booking.

250 people at an average ticket price of $60 is $15,000. According to this website, the cost/minimum spend for the main room is $22,000: Main Room at Northcote Theatre I'm not sure how they did with bar sales - it's possible they were in this range as the Melbourne Bitter cans were an...
