I was surprised in Adam Copeland/Edge acting credentials, yes he is no Bautista, Rock or even Cena. But he is much more than just guest starring in z-grade action films.

I wouldn't say Edge is significantly worse an actor than any of Rock, Batista or Cena tbh. He perhaps does not have the same screen presence or charisma as the others, but none of them are exactly Marlon Brando when it comes to pure acting ability.

I think Batista is a much better actor than the rest and has definitely taken acting far more seriously. Cena probably second, has a decent range and can play against type a bit more. Edge isn't bad but he isn't great, solid co-star material for non major films.

The Rock isn't really an actor, he is a 'star'. He can just be The Rock in things and that is fun for people to watch.

Well heck, that segment between the Night One main eventers just kicked WM month into overdrive. Unreal starpower inside one ring.

Also the new Hitman merch seems to be a favorite among the guys backstage.

Am I the only one who can't stand Heyman's overacting? I get he's got a great mind for business and contributes to creative in a big way but his onscreen presence is reeeeally grating and unpleasant and not only because he's playing the smarmy, wheedling heel manager. I never mind-ed Heenan, Cornette, even Jimmy Hart, loud and obnoxious as they tended to get, but Heyman's like nails on blackboard to me. Yes, he's important as the last great manager in the business but ugh that fat Jabba shape and the grinding voice with its inadvertent squeaks brings out some primal revulsion in me :sick:. I suppose you can say it's working its "magic", whatever it is he does, but fans make him out to be some great thespian and method actor, and I don't quite see that.

Don't suppose anyone watched Dynamite yesterday? It's got the second highest rating of all time on Cagematch behind the Brodie Lee memorial episode, which is a bit much to be honest, but it was a superb wrestling show.

Mone and Athena put on one of my all-time favourite womens matches with some really eye-catching, reversal-laden chain wrestling. Which was followed by Ospreay vs Takeshita in a *****1/2 match according to Meltzer, which again is a bit rich, but it was bloody superb. Crowd in Boston were absolutely electric and the theatre they held it in looked gorgeous on camera.

Worth a watch if you dip in and out of AEW.

Yeah I watched it really enjoyed it. Good crowd kept there energy up even for Collission - I guess it was filmed on the same day.

So it's WM and I'm not feeling especially enthused. The build hasn't been good at all imo. I expect the show itself will deliver, but I'm not feeling particularly interested at the moment.

From what I can tell, it was supposed to be The Rock vs Cody but Rock backed out, and then Rock tried to get Cody to turn but he refused so they had Cena turn instead and on camera they had it so that it looked like Rock and Cena were aligned but then The Rock hasn't turned up since and Cena has barely turned up since and no-one seems to really care about it.

And then WWE as a whole has decided to put their foot in their mouth repeatedly over the last week to such a degree that I'm shocked Triple H didn't thank Benoit for being part of his only good WM main-event

Bad company, watch the good wrestling companies instead, or even the ones trying to be good

As a child, I used to think the non-choking hand held against the temple in the sleeper hold was responsible for putting the victim to sleep, hence the name of the move.
