It's not bad. I think they did the best they could with the cast that is left. Character designs aren't great, but the ships and backgrounds are great. Inconsequential story, but still a welcome visit with old friends.

[General] Weekly AEW round up! 10th Oct

I've always enjoyed MJF, but he's really on a roll these days. I love that, even now, I'm not sure if he's a recovering heel or playing everyone. He's so good at being a likable piece of crap. Tony definitely needs to open up his wallet and hold on to him next year.

I do think that long term storytelling in general is in disarray right now because of injuries and having to fire Punk, but I'm willing to cut AEW some slack. When the stories are able to play out, they're usually worth the wait.

I'm a little fatigued from PPV overload, tbh. Hoping there aren't as many next year. While they've all been enjoyable, wrestling-wise, I don't feel like there has been enough time in between them this year to build storylines that make me care about the payoff at the PPV.

Just some general thoughts. AEW got me back into wrestling after 30 years. I love it, but right now it feels like it's in a holding pattern instead of full speed ahead.

I think you've misinterpreted what I said. 2001: A Space Odyssey was released by Criterion on laserdisc, not Devil Doll. Not that Criterion hasn't had a few questionable films in their catalog. They released The Rock and Armageddon. Still scratching my head on those.

There is a lot to love about living in WV (politics aside) but antenna TV reception is not one of them, sadly. Even moreso since broadcasting went all-digital. Signals don't travel well around the mountains. I'd go back to an antenna in a heartbeat if I could get decent reception. I'm only about 15 miles away from a couple of the towers and can't even pick them up without a really huge roof antenna.
