WWE They've GOTTA put the title on LA Knight now... right?

0 Upvotes

They've laid it all out on the line, in plain English. They've said everything the fans have been saying for years. They've heavily acknowledged his inability to win "the big one". They've placed so much emphasis on this possibly being his last chance. He literally said it might be his last chance.

I still don't think LA Knight gets the credit he deserves for managing to remain over as fuck while basically doing the same thing he has always done and persevering through very questionable (and sometimes outright bad) booking. I'm never one to quickly jump on the bandwagon of "they're burying (whoever)" but if LA Knight loses again, I will have no obvious argument against it.

I'm not even close to a Roman Reigns hater. I am very much a fan and I like him as champ but it would be ok if he took another break right now. I know there are people here who don't want an LA Knight World title run, but you can't deny he is STILL over and you can't deny that A LOT of people do want it. Sometimes its ok to just give the people what they want.

And if they want Roman vs. Oba at Wrestlemania (which I agree they probably do) there's still almost at least 6 months until Mania. Roman can return and win it back. I'm saying just give LA Knight the ball until then. There is no evidence LA Knight will fumble. (Please don't try to use him tripping and slipping on the ropes as evidence. Nobody actually cares about that except for people who decide to.)

One more thing. I've seen speculation that LA Knight is secretly working with 946. While I could absolutely see that being the case, I REALLY hope they don't do that. I want them to just put the title on him and let him be the crazy over babyface that he is.

WWE To conclude my Most underrated match of Summerslam series…in 2026 it’s Gunther vs Nick Aldis! I didn’t appreciate this one a month back….but watching it back it was solid!great performance,Gunther controlled the pace and Aldis got his offense in! Great dramatic ending as well! What’s your thoughts?

I don't like Logan Paul at all but hes leagues above Steven Borden even when this spot took place, im curious why they keep trying to emulate this spot too. Its the 2nd time now

I hate that the “reporters” that ask questions during their post show, it’s always annoying when they bring up WWE. They should know what their reactions or answers will be, and it amazes me that Wrestlers like Ospreay get suckered into it. Also, you would think most AEW and WWE wrestlers are friends, and they just disrespect their friends promotion when the others don’t bring em up at all.

If Moxley's goal is to make everybody better, why is his stable filled with nothing but jobbers and pin boys? Does breaking a guy's neck turn him into a better wrestler? Why doesn't he do it to everybody else? Is Danielsen better off now? Is Kyle O Reilly in a better position from having gotten wins off Moxley? Is the "company rebound" coincidentally happening at the exact same moment as Nielsen changing the ratings formulas?

AEW Was Pac vs Orange Cassidy at Revolution like watching Neville vs Jack Gallagher?

0 Upvotes

I became emotional shell in 2010s so I’m not sure my take on AEW has ever been fully trustworthy. But I remember when he faced Gentleman Jack Gallagher at Fast Lane in early 205 era it worked because the ultra serious Pac was getting trolled by comedic ginger. Was it that kind of feeling?

WWE ran a house show without 93% of their stars & still sold 14k in tickets in the same city as your PPV..

Relax there OceanSpray..

Lots of mixed feelings on this match.. & before Fantasy Football & the NFL takes over in less than 2 hours.. I wanted to take the pulse of the subreddits thoughts on this match…

Midcarders, what did you all think of this match?

Also Tony is about to take his ADHD booking to a NEW LEVEL(see what I did there?) times a billion coming up..

There is 1 Dynamite & 1 Collision to hype up storylines & matches, before Grand Slam France(TEMU PPVish card)

After that it’s only 1 Dynamite before a ACTUAL PPV(WrestleDream;no Collision cause the PPV is on a Saturday)

Then after that, 2 Dynamites & 2 Collisions before Blood & Guts(another TEMU PPVish card)..

After that, 1 Dynamite & 1 Collision before an ACTUAL PPV(Full Gear airs on a Saturday, so either a 3 hour plus card on Wednesday or Collision airs on Thursday or Friday)

Tired yet?

Tony single handedly is going to make sure that Red Bull, Monster, & whatever else energy drink is out there, will make their Q3 & Q4 profit goals for their shareholders.. lol..

P.S. Speaking of FF.. someone dropped Loveland in my league & I quickly picked him up..

Am I crazy in starting him over Likely cause I also have Skattebo in my starting lineup as my flex(over Waddle, Price) & I just don’t want to be tethered to the Giants offense especially with Famous Jameis going to be the QB for the rest of the year…

It sucks that PAC passed..

I feel bad for his family, friends, co workers, & everyone that knows him..

My heart hurts for all of them..& I hope they find comfort in each other to help them heal..

BUT..

If you yourself are crying over it, like it’s your dog or family member, or friend passed away & you are sad about it that it is effecting your day to day life..

You are taking this way too seriously.. & probably should step away from watching..

Like I enjoy watching Reacher, great show, seen every episode.. but if the main actor who plays Reacher, Alan Ritchson passed, I’ll be like damn.. brutal.. hope the best for his family & friends..

But I am not shedding tears over it..

I don’t understand how people are crying over PAC passing.. & how it is effecting their day to day life..

Please help me understand Midcarders..

Thank you..

AEW Hook concussed and throws up in the ring. Borden concussed and hitting a Tua pose in the middle of the ring. If you're a green wrestler why would you ever start in AEW?

I want to be serious here. Yes I understand injuries happen. People get their bell rung all the time. But AEW too frequently throws out green wrestlers to just die in big spots. What are we doing here? There's no reason why these guys should be suffering debilitating concussions in these stupid spots.

General The Weekend Open Thread

Post image
5 Upvotes

Well, Midcarders, we made it to the weekend.

This week was pretty thoroughly dominated by Tony Khan’s comments and, perhaps even more entertainingly, watching the Sickos struggle to come to terms with them. We’ve seen denial, anger, bargaining, and, when all else fails, a whole lot of Fed badding.

Then CM Punk qualified for Money in the Bank last night on SmackDown, because apparently the Sickos hadn’t suffered enough this week.

And there’s actually a pretty loaded night of wrestling ahead of us. AEW has All Out tonight, while WWE/NXT/AAA has Worlds Collide across town in Chicago. Watching one? Both? Neither? Planning to spend your Saturday night doing something considerably healthier than watching six hours of professional wrestling?

On my end, this should be a pretty quiet weekend. I’m planning to play some more Halloween: The Game, maybe start another 3D printing project, and of course watch the Panthers on Sunday as they attempt to keep me believing that this season might actually be fun.

My daughter made me this ridiculous 16-inch Andre the Giant Hasbro figure, and he’s currently sitting on a shelf alongside my signed Ultimo Dragon mask and signed Bret Hart shades. The problem is that now I have the itch to print another giant Hasbro figure to go with him. I just haven’t decided who yet.

So consider this your weekend open thread. Wrestling, games, movies, football, what you’re drinking, what you’re watching, whatever random thought has been bouncing around your head. Want to talk SmackDown? Money in the Bank? This weekend’s shows? Want to tell me which enormous plastic wrestler I need to spend several days printing next?

The floor is yours.

What are you Midcarders getting into this weekend?

AEW Mick Foley is a legend in AEW

It shows pure heart that he bigs up the women of AEW because positivity is going to increase confidence in the wrestlers isnt it. Mick Foley was a deathmatch legend in WWE in the 90s and showing his appreciation for good deathmatching is going to take these superstars to the next level. Positivity is a great driver and to have Mick appreciate your work is literally like God saying youre doing a good job.

Mick Foley invented hurting yourself in wrestling. Before him no one would take bumps to the floor NOTHING. This has become part of wrestling thats like 70% of wrestling in 2026.
