Man, Peanut Butter Falcon has been on my list for AWHILE now, and I just haven't gotten around to it. Let's see. I'm sure a few of these will be super obvious, but I'll throw a few out there.

-The Wrestler
-No Holds Barred (yeah, it's Hogan, but it's so over the top bad, it's actually hilarious)
-They Live (not wrestling themed per se, but Piper is in it and John Carpenter let him choreograph the fight scenes which are very wrestling esque)
-Nacho Libre (yeah, it's a Jack Black comedy, but it is very reverent of the sport and has some actual Luchadores in it, including Silver King)

no holds barred and body slam were my favs as a little kid from the 80's

We had just moved to a new town when No Holds Barred came out and one of my mom's friends who loved wrestling volunteered to take me. Saw that sht in the theater. I laughed soooo damn hard at "What's that smell? Dooookie!" I was also low key terrified of Zeus/Tiny.

Sounds like a No Holds Barred watch along needs to happen

green rhino123 In general, what are your thoughts on the AEW? I know you watch at times but just wanted to hear a professional scout's opinion.

I come in peace.

Thought the trios match was cool. Not exactly what I want out of a match since I thought it was a bit too focused on gymnastics instead of actual tactical wrestling, but still entertaining.

It's a decent product. We'll see how it goes.
I like that it's trying to fill the void of former WWE competitors/territories.
The content has good vision although, realistically, sometimes falls short.

Good points all around.

Especially when Konnan said a 15 minute match wouldn't have been as memorable as what we saw.

Watching back when I was a teen I actually thought Benjamin would become World Champ one day and then they put him in that horrible storyline with his "momma"

being a long time wwf/wwe fan you already knew what time it was and what was gonna happen.

I was naive and thought maybe just maybe things would be different.

Had Shelton come up 10-15 years later, he could be the World Champ he deserved to be. He can work the modern style while still mastering the old school basics.

Yep he was ahead of his time. I thought he’d be a main eventer when he beat Triple H three times on Raw during his reign of terror

This roster is shaping up to be worse and worse. They can rush Punk into the game, but leaving out FTR? I get it compared to who Punk is, but once again it's that Yuka Sakazaki and Abadon, but no Acclaimed either. They're smart to not have leaked the roster yet because it will be bad press.

Bet Stu Grayson and Negative 1 make the roster.

 

[Blue Mamba]

Yeah this game is not looking good. There’s rumored to be only 25 wrestlers to choose from

Maybe sometime this week before the big Wrestling weekend coming up.
