Reactionary To The Wrestling News of: Ric Flair AEW Rampage Promo First Appearance that will Hopefully/Needs be cut if AEW have any sense 2023 by AverageMansReviews

Just a heads up: at one point or another I will probably use adapted adult language to what I actually mean. Now it should be noted I was going to focus on different content today, but when I found this out from reliable content creators, it kind of dramatically changed that.

Hi and Bye Ric Flair: I want to know who if anyone okay Flair's promo? Because I don't care if he did of his own back or Tony Kahn allowed this? It was fudging stupid, I know I have said this already but it needs to be said again it was fudging stupid that is how stupid it is that I have to repeat myself twice in quick succession. It is so baffling that is as a AEW fan I can't and won't defend this and it has to be said forget tribalism four minute put that to one side, this has nothing to do with tribalism because even it has been reported that the AEW fans were angry that Flair said this. I am not even dramatising it; you see he or somebody had the wonderful [I am being sarcastic here] of using one of those old promo material; which for the long-term wrestling fans would instantaneously say this is such a bad idea. But I slightly digress; he uses basically the any women between 18 and 28, no boyfriends to meet him backstage that old shtick. I want to make this crystal is I had been given this heads up about this content going out in my wrestling product I would say no, I mean if it was anyone else I would have said still no or make it age-appropriate change their age brackets, but I still wouldn't be overly happy about it, I just needed to state that but I still wouldn't be overly happy about it.

But back to Flair's especially in his case wary as the history of allegations of sexual misconduct; it is just wrong end of story, wrong, wrong, wrong. I mean this is why AEW didn't sign him a few years ago or more after the documentary of Dark Side of the Ring; The Plane Ride From Hell first aired 16/09/2021; full disclosure I haven't seen it, but let's just say I know what it roughly covers, because I have been a fan of wrestling since the mid-to late 1980's off and on again and at one point or another if you have been watching wrestling long enough, some of you may get to the point of "When I think I am out, they just pull me back in again."

This is far from a Sammy Guevara situation [before I receive backlash from his fan base there are two points I would like to make;] 1. I know his situation was completely different and 2. My point about bringing him up is to make this very valid point in the first place; he was younger and consequently can be educated or you know do some work to improve from not doing this kind of thing again. But Flair as of this content being created is 74 years old, so the likelihood of him remotely or wanting changing his behaviour  is slim to none stop.

So let me put it like this; "Whatchoo Gonna Do Tony Kahn? When you have an old wrestler in flair that shouldn’t think about wrestling anymore and a roster of wrestlers some don't respect you or are not happy with you and are running wild on you."

Because frankly and completely honestly Flair should now be shown the door, I mean if you haven't picked up on it yet, no I don't believe because it is him, he should be allowed to get away with it, regardless of it being a part of his material. I mean it is 2024 almost and this kind of material or alleged behaviour will not be tolerated by anyone, especially when AEW preach about the whole inclusivity thing and cultivating this atmosphere of a moral compass; so it is time to prove it again? As they did with Jimmy Havoc [released by AEW 2020; based on in a nutshell and I am going to keep this content safe to read/view alleged sexual misconduct] and standing by Guevara, but educating him.

Why fire Flair?; As far as I can see it Kahn has no other choice and I will give you some excellent reasons; because of what Flair said, because it will not be tolerated in AEW regardless how big the name is, whenever another situation develops if this situation is not dealt with in the right manner , I don't have to be in the room or/and on social media platforms Kahn will be making a rod for his own back, where he will have wrestlers or/and especially on social media which you may not think is important, but I do believe it has some importance based on a public image perspective so obviously don't listen or read everything that everyone is saying, but just gauge the public perspective basically as in approval ratings. But back to the wrestlers with in the locker room it will definitely harden division by this double standings approach, which will consequently spillover to more unhappy wrestlers, which on a quick side note it has to be said that over more and more recent times can AEW/Kahn just try to straighten up the ship just for a little while without finding themselves in another PR nightmare and finally and so much more importantly Flair has spoiled/potentially overshadowed Sting's AEW retirement tour, because everyone will be talking about Flair and that promo section.

There is one final thing I have to say and that is; I can't see past Kahn not firing Flair, because if he doesn't it would undermine AEW's credibility and public image, it wouldn't give much to stand on as in as a fan I can't defend AEW if something of substance hasn't happened I would prefer him to be fired, but just something of substance as in withdrawing and suspend him from TV for a long time or just have him sure at Sting's last match, if that is what Sting wanted a very brief side note I would like or should be put forward for Michael Buffer to do his thing as for those younger people out there; he is a legendary sports ring announcer which also spent a few years with WCW back in the day. But I digress; if Khan mismanaging this situation I wouldn't want to be in his shoes, which I like Kahn but even I have to say he is probably going to not put his foot down or show any authority and try and sweep it under the carpet, I mean this is one of those occasions where he could really show some steel and you know take a little bit positive outlook the situation being yet he did show some leadership by dealing with this situation properly.

Reactionary To The Wrestling News of: CM Punk Returns to the WWE at WWE Survivor Series: WarGames 2023 by AverageMansReviews

Well where to begin: let's begin on a positive thank you WWE for guaranteeing whilst CM Punk is under contract; Kenny Omega, The Young Bucks: Matt & Nick Jackson won't be and possibly many others that were thinking of jumping the great divide that have a problem with Punk.

You've got to feel sorry for Randy Orton; I get why they needed and understand why they did it, but still when you have Orton that has been out for a massive amount of time and his return gets overshadowed by Punk; you have got to feel for him.

Let's get down to business shall we?; To be brutally honest I can only see problems with Punk returning in fact the rippling effects began on that night; in no particular order but I know these things happened, because I have even seen live footage or it has been reported/confirmed to a certain level; Finn Bálor mocks Punk to a fan by telling the fan to go and tweet about Punk, Seth Rollins looking dejected/infuriated by Punk's return in one video sitting on the ring steps with his WWE Heavyweight championships with a Cory Graves and Michael Cole next to him; giving off the impression basically this garbage isn't fun anymore and then Graves getting Rollins to apparently begin walking back up the ramp, but then it all kicked off with [picture] Rollins being absolutely furious and quite clearly giving punk the birds, then it kicked off backstage with Graves and Cole having to hold Rollins back with Punk looking confused and Triple H being there as well. I have learnt that; that this may have or could be Rollins, trying to get a match with Punk so I mean I have said it online/social media I acknowledge that even before I did some research that this may just be a work and I have been called a mark, because of it; yes because Punk is officially back in wrestling I now receive negative comments again, what a surprise and I don't care. All I said was something to the effect of you have to feel for Rollins, because outside of Reigns and mixing with him looking like this isn't fun anymore, you know the look of a wrestler that has been carrying a company regardless of the name for years and has earned everything, has been working injured and is more than likely a lifetime company guy, that at some point down the line is going to have to lie down for Punk; someone that years ago referred to Punk as cancer.

I am not buying into this drama, I do take it as face value [as in there is probably a little something here] until up-to-date information is available, but experienced fans would understand that this could be a shoot [real] or/and work [kayfabe] mixture because it could be a mixture of both everyone knows that because of this mixture element it has every potential to be a hit or be a complete disaster and potentially overshadow this massive occasion known as WrestleMania 40/2024 which if this does come true will be a massive mismanagement by Triple H [I know Nick Kahn was the one mainly working on bringing Punk back in Triple H had a little to do with it] and will be the first massive dent against him creatively. I should have said just for the record Punk is clearly going to win the Men's Royal Rumble Match and go on to face Rollins at this event for his WWE Heavyweight Championship in the main event on Night 1 [or because of this momentous occasion they could always stick Orton in and make it a triple threat for this championship or they could make it a fatal four way with Damian Priest cashing in his money in the bank opportunity.]

But slightly moving on it has been said that Drew McIntyre was absolutely fuming last Saturday where he was cursing, picked up his things and left the arena or something to that effect which I can completely understand why and this is purely based on speculation/opinion; you see for those young wrestling fans out there; when you have wrestlers that are working their posterior off night in and night out and then you have someone like Punk coming in and let's be completely transparent here, he has been given lots of money on a multi-year deal and he will go straight into the main event, yes if there are some people wondering about Orton it is very different from him, because he is a WWE guy and it was injuries that put him on the shelf, so if he was able to he would be putting foot to posterior, so there is no animosity towards him directly. But I don't know McIntyre and I will say this again this is completely speculation/opinion he was okay with Orton comeback, but it must have been a slap in the face with a wet fish when he found out about Punk, because potentially his name goes down the pecking order; so consequently I really don't see McIntyre signing a new contract with the WWE now, don't get me wrong, I don't know him personally, but he doesn't seem to be driven by money, obviously it helps getting paid lots of money, but of what I have heard he seems more like a wrestling guy as in am I wrestling and why would my character do that? Those kinds of important details, but let me be the first to offer him an opportunity; if he doesn't feel comfortable at the WWE I know another wrestling promotion in Florida that would be more than delighted to have his signature a little place called All Elite Wrestling.

Inadvertently and I know AEW wouldn't think like this and even if they did they shouldn't, they should be just carrying on and not talking about it on social media yes Tony Kahn I am looking at you. But it has to be said inadvertently this could really galvanise AEW from the perspective of everything generally speaking seemed to be going smoothly for the WWE, everything was pointing in the right direction backstage morale was steady it was just a big machine doing what a big machine does without a spanner in the works, I know Punk is a draw you have to wonder why they would risk upsetting everything just to bring in someone that could be not only a spanner but active dynamite which could go off at any time for any reason, personally I wouldn't risk it as the morale is now it wouldn’t be a lie if I said mixed

Additional: it has now been confirmed it was a work; but I have left it in on the grounds of if it becomes that mixture which they discussed earlier, Because they do have a mixed history where, Rollins has said nice things about Punk and let's give Punk the benefit of the doubt at some point you must have said something nice about Rollins, it just depends if they want to excessively lean into the work/shoot angle so you run the risk of it becoming real.

5 things about this episode

Warning: there is flashing/colourful/other effects/bodily functions/transformation/shooting/Russian reference

The Chojin Crown Tournament; let’s just move on to Event 2; Beech Flags with a twist: Storyline, Character [Character developments,] Action and Art; in this tournament We begin with 3 Event that are meant to test these wrestlers; it is winners stay in losers are eliminated, in this case; we have these Heats of 3 wrestlers as they have to run, win this race and quickly grab this individual as they fall from high up hanging out of his mouth which releases to begin the fall; yes there is this protective mat, but from high up I wouldn't want to risk it, so someone there to catch these individuals. Now from where the individuals are being held up in these individual heats; This red headed Demon is really well designed and highly detailed; even though we don't get to see too much of him close-up, you can still see the high-quality design and art.

This episode receives: 7/10, this episode is good; full disclosure it does feel like this episode does take some time to get going what with the admin and on top of that the first event not being that good, so I have in all fairness not hidden anything from you, but very much just let it reflect in my marking of this episode.

 

 

Wasted: The Miz vs. the WWE Intercontinental Champion Imperium's Walter; Singles Match for the WWE Intercontinental Championship at WWE Survivor Series: WarGames 2023 by AverageMansReviews - Spoiler Alarm!

Wasted: The Miz vs. the WWE Intercontinental Champion Imperium's Walter; Singles Match for the WWE Intercontinental Championship at WWE Survivor Series: WarGames 2023 by AverageMansReviews - Spoiler Alarm!

What the hell was this garbage?: Yes full disclosure I gave this match/match slot 5/10. But because I have been around wrestling long time, as experienced fans would understand and people within the business as well. I have a massive problem with this match/match slot and yes it may just be based on speculation/opinion at this point, but if it goes down the way, I think which in this case I really hope I am wrong. They are potentially building up The Miz as the guy that could dethrone Walter and I am like Oh Hell No! [Hold my cup of tea, this garbage isn't going down like that.] No seriously when this momentous occasion happens they could swiftly and incredibly easily make a star overnight, I mean now Walter has the record as being the longest WWE Intercontinental Champion, I am more open to the idea of someone like Chad Gable, I mean I wasn't against the idea but I just wanted to see Walter break the record as he has brought the WWE Intercontinental Championship back to life and gave it; it's prestige back you know it deserves to be up and around the main event pictures that kind of staters and I am not a gatekeeper here, but there is one thing I want this championship to be again and that was an indication of a future main event champion.

But I know this wrestling promotion too well and regardless if Mr. McMahon is there are not, I know how petty they can be, so before the end of The Miz's career he will win this championship twice again before it is all said and done, so he will become the recordholder of times held this championship with 10, so they take it away from AEW's Chris Jericho with him holding the record with 9 as a sign of revenge for going to their competition, but here was me thinking I thought the WWE didn't see AEW as competition? Yes before I receive comments I know on one hand they have made this reference and on the other I know this see everyone as competition. But all I ask is not now, really does not now whilst Walter is the champion, as I have already referenced it really needs to go to someone fresh and new or at minimum much younger than The Miz when this content was created he is at the young [sarcasm] age of 43 years old.

So what do you suggest?: Well thank you for asking, I mean if we had to put the championship on Miz eventually and before I begin I don't care about the brand split garbage; I would Miz have a business deal for Karrion Kross [38 years old when this content was first created;] where Miz becomes his new manager/tag team partner if necessary; Scarlett foresees a turbulent time ahead, but after about a month of  Kross winning obviously with Miz assistants somehow; we have Kross beat Walter at WWE WrestleMania 40/2022 to become the new WWE Intercontinental Champion and then between then and SummerSlam 2024 we have the classic yet reliable breakdown of this relationship; leading to Kross losing the championship to Miz due to a returning Maryse at SummerSlam 2024 getting involved to set up a husband-and-wife feud of Kross & Scarlett vs Miz & Maryse.

Briefly; even though I don't want SmackDown yes I believe it is about time we/they could do something big with Kross and Scarlett; because the little I have seen when he was down on NXT he/they were built as a tremendous double act and it just hasn't happened on either run on the main roster so far. I mean if you have no idea what I am making reference to go and look at Kross and Scarlett on NXT even though I haven't watched it myself I know they were being treated as this big deal/the next big thing and that I have already alluded to it just hasn't happened yet.

But I digress; they could have Walter and Kross wanting to get their hands on Miz I mean for a Premium Live Event such as Crown Jewel 2024; these two giants tag up mean they not exactly like, but respect one another as they tag up to take on Miz and two other partners of his choosing; [Authors of Pain: Akam & Rezar; if you didn't know yes they are back with the WWE and have been for some time, they are just waiting creative to give them something to do.] Yes it is a three-on-two situation, where the winner/winners either don't have to face these two again for this championship as long as he is champion on this run or the winners get a triple threat opportunity for this championship at the next Premium Live Event at the apt name of Survivor Series or Survivor Series: WarGames 2024 and just to finish off this situation; around three quarters stage I would have Akam & Rezar walkout on Miz; not as cowards, but just because at this point this tag team have got fed up of taking orders from him and his wife, by indicating to their opponents if you want him you can have him, we are fed up of taking his garbage that kind of indication.

On a slightly connecting subject; it shouldn't be that difficult to creatively give Authors of Pain: Akam & Rezar something to do; I mean just off the top of my head, you could have them appear in all in black and face covering to terrorise the authority figures of any show; they only want one thing, it isn't money or a championship opportunity, they want a free availability contract which states they can go anywhere at any time. Yes even though I have dictated this; I am aware it is cheesy and essentially I have chosen the free agents option, but firstly it is something for them to do and secondly because of the sizes of these two individuals for a little while why couldn't they be given a free license to do and to bring chaos wherever they wanted, I mean they could even eventually answer to a higher power in the form of Joe Gacy and debut him and them unmasking. I don't mean this to be arrogant, but that took me about 10 minutes or less to give them something to do and the eventually debut someone new on the main roster, my point being is quite clearly this; if you are going to bring back this massive tag team for a second run on the main roster; let's use them and let's see what they can actually do with something long-term without the fear of budget cuts or/and any other reasons like injuries or whatever.

Warning/Disclaimer: flashing effects/colourful effects/medical. Disclaimer: look I have never been inside a wrestling ring and never likely to be and if you undertake this drinking game I will not be held responsible and finally I didn't know bits and pieces already, I really did try to stay avoid it, but I accidentally came across some things in one way or another.

Bianca Belair, Charlotte Flair, Shotzi & Becky Lynch vs. Damage CTRL's: the WWE Women's Champion Iyo Sky, Bayley, Asuka & Kairi Sane; Women's WarGames Match: now straight off the bat irritated me, I know he meant it in a positive way but it is one of those things that every time it just grates on me. He makes reference to the WWE Horsewomen and Bayley not being given the same level of respect, I am not clutching at straws here, but I can't be the only one that thinks Bayley is the female equivalent of Arn Anderson; you know the workhorse, the reliable and dependable one that always delivers. I hope Shotzi is okay, because if I had to pick someone that had a little bit of a rough night, it would be her yes she continued match but she also performed a suicide dive between both rings on Bayley which went a bit south as she took the metal grid that connects both rings together right in the face, later on Michael Cole did make reference to this, I should just point out I am not criticising her or getting on her back I am generally being nice and focusing on a possible health concern and then we had Cole and Graves having a very brief debate on what Flair delivered from the top turnbuckle [the far bottom right] Cole said it was a blockbuster, but Graves corrected him by saying it was an inverted natural selection. To me this match felt a bit slow and unable to get a fully going obviously there are some big spots, but with the skit/sponsor advertising after this match. This match/match slot receives: 8/10.

The Miz vs. the WWE Intercontinental Champion Imperium's Walter; Singles Match for the WWE Intercontinental Championship: Wow this is the worst Walter match I have ever seen, what the hell are they thinking? I really don't like what they are doing here, I would say more but this content is not designed for that purpose. Now this is where the potential drinking game can start; every time an ex-WWF/WWE, but a current AEW guy is mentioned throughout this broadcast; you could download drink? So here we have Chris Jericho, Ric Flair and Edge [AEW's Adam Copeland] and. Graves says am paraphrasing roughly here The Miz taken a lot of credit and rightly so for giving the WWE Intercontinental Championship back its lustre. Come on this is just garbage, I mean Cole did make reference to the combined days of Miz's eight previous runs with this championship and they just about at the moment come somewhere vaguely close to Walter's first run/current run with this championship. So it is down to Walter giving the WWE Intercontinental Championship it is lustre and prestige back I mean minus this match/match slot everyone look better for having worked with Walter including Walter, once again minus this match/match slot, I know this is an old reference; but it makes perfect sense here, you see Walter' has made the Intercontinental Championship look and feel like the right-hand title again just/or on the same level as the main event championships. This match/match slot receives: 5/10.

Dragon Lee vs. Santos Escobar; Singles Match: AEW's Sting gets referenced on commentary and later on Lee performs this sit down power bomb with pinning combination; which roughly halfway through looks slow as it has lost all of its momentum, but between these two wrestlers they get it back on track; with Graves on commentary trying to cover up this moment and putting it over as and I am paraphrasing here basically as good strength; this match should not have been on this Premium Live Event, it is good enough for TV content, but not good enough for a PLE. This match/match slot receives: 6/10.

Zoey Stark vs. Champ The Judgement Day's. Champ Rhea Ripley; for the WWE World Women's Championship: I like everything to do with Slim Jim's, Starks performs a DDT on the ringside apron closest to the commentary team, it looks sloppy [a bit too loose] and I'm going to go with a chokeslam an attempt by Ripley or I am just going to say that is what you should be looking for the beginnings of it anyway from the top left turnbuckle goes wrong or I think it goes wrong, it looks like something went wrong here; it is one of those occasions where when you come to watch this match, you will completely understand why I am slightly vague on it; as whatever it was meant to be just came off as really messy and to be fair to the commentary team they took it in a similar fashion as well and the advertisers for WWE Shop.com. This match/match slot receives: 8/10.

The WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins, Cody Rhodes, Jey Uso, Sami Zayn & Randy Orton vs. The Judgement Day's: the WWE Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions Finn Bálor, Damian Priest, the NXT North American Champion Dominik Mysterio, DJ McDonagh & Drew McIntyre; Men's WarGames: we have another suicide dive, but this one doesn't have any problem from Rollins onto Bálor. I was going to leave this out because I have made references to previous but Jey performs his cousin's Dwayne “The Rock" Johnson split slap/punch combination and then he performs it again, but you slightly changes the ending to pay homage to I believe "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes, but to cover my back I could be wrong, but considering one of his son's Cody Rhodes is on his team in this match this could be possible. Cole corrects himself on commentary where he basically says if Priest wants to be the leader of The Judgement Day he has earned it, he meant in this match and then later on El Generico gets mentioned on commentary by Cole as well [for those that don't know; this used to be Sami Zayn's character/gimmick outside of the WWE.] Then for some reason Zayn throws a kendo stick through the cage and out of the ring and briefly stands they are laughing [to possibly illustrate, why did I just do that?] As roughly at the same time Cole brings this up on commentary. Later Cole brings up the creator of War Games "The American Dream" and then he makes reference to Cody creating the original All In wrestling event in 2018 in Chicago and there is one more reference to “The American Dream." Cole gets the numbers wrong but quickly corrects himself with Graves correcting him simultaneously as well. This match/match slot receives: 10/10.

The average mark of this pay-per-view is: 9/10, well let's start at the beginning; we get Black Sabbath providing the theme song for this event "War Pigs,"[yes they come from my country and yes I come from the alternative lifestyle; so I may come across as a little bit biased,] a will he won't he show up as it relates to Randy Orton narrative, sponsorship/commercial/advertising, we have three match slot [the things they really wanted to focus on] and a colossal ending to this event.

Match/Stipulation: "The Macho Man" Randy Savage vs. The Dungeon of Doom's "The Total Package" Lex Luger [with "The Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart:] Singles Match

Match Attributes:

Match Quality: 7/10

Match Slot Storyline: 7/10

Crowd Participation: 7/10

On Commentary: Tony Schiavone & Bobby "The Brain" Heenan/"Wiesel" 8/10

Satisfying Conclusion: 7/10

Recommend Watch: 7/10

Match Total: 43/60 - this match/match slot is good.

Comments: this is another solidly good match slot, it is one of those that you come to expect from these two competitors that don't back down from anybody. Heman puts over on commentary commonsense as it relates to Savage's health and the fact that we have the main event coming up soon and Schiavone talks about Savage's intensity [these are just two examples of our commentary team putting over the current situation and the main event later on night,] but unfortunately we have one blooper from Heenan as it relates to the count out, he makes reference to it being roughly 18, 20 and then Schiavone then a little while later he makes reference to  it being a 10 count

Basic Result: The Dungeon of Doom's "The Total Package" Lex Luger [with "The Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart]Is victorious and on a quick side note yes I didn't know Luger was a member of this faction either, but I did some research and at this point in history Hart and Luger were associated with this faction which in hindsight I should have worked out for myself based on I have been watching the Previous pay-per-view Halloween Havoc 1995 and TV content that WCW on Monday Night Nitro, but we got there in the end that is all what matters

Basic walk-through of this event:

* Tony Schiavone & Bobby "The Brain" Heenan/"Wiesel": Commentary talk about what they had just seen over video replays with "The Total Package" Lex Luger's theme music "Total Package" Schiavone send us to a video package on how we got here between The Four Horsemen's" The Nature Boy" Ric Flair and/vs. Sting

* Video package: how we are here between these two wrestlers with voice-over, it is a top-class recap and then in the same video package it includes advertising for these two wrestlers in tonight's main event.

* David Penzer: Ring announcer says the stipulations and then introduces the competitors.

* Tony Schiavone & Bobby "The Brain" Heenan/"Wiesel":Commentary  just over Penzer; Schiavone talks about the history between Flair and Sting, with Heman dropping in; they know each other, hands things back over to Penzer

* David Penzer: Ring announcer to finish off his duties

* Tony Schiavone Commentary in a nutshell makes reference to Savage and his health concerns after having a match with Luger as our main event is coming up next after this match.

D. C Cab Company: basically; we have this struggling taxi/cab company which we meet Albert Hockenberry [Adam Baldwin:] a young man that wants to become a cab driver; his dad and one of the owners of this company go way back in fact they served their country; Harold Oswelt [Max Gail:] a war veteran which is like the leader/wise man of this band of misfits, he also has a wife called Myrna Oswelt [Anne De Salvo/Anne DeSalvo:] she comes across straight away as someone that is high maintenance as she is meant to be answering the telephone for the business, but even though it is right next to her, she calls out for someone else to do it as she is doing her nails and she also has another job. Now let's take a look at some of their drivers; Samson [Mr. T:] he is the one with a moral conscious and tries to do the right thing, For a quick example he keeps an eye on Jolene [Pauline Earlette:] his niece by in a nutshell in her schooling, making sure she stays away from unsavoury characters and on a quick side note for my younger readers/viewers that may not know; Mr. T used to be a limited appearance professional wrestler for the WWF/WWE and the WCW. Dell [Gary Busey/which has also written and produced the track "Why baby Why" the only reason I know this is because I saw it at the very last minute in the ending credits, but I digress:] he is a mixture between comical and crazy as for example making this is clean as I can someone deliberately doesn't pay for a fair and after Hockenberry tries and fails; Dell walks into this adult establishment and let's just say quickly runs out with enough to pay with him running out of this establishment, with him saying "Victory" as he quickly dives in the open passenger back seat, Hockenberry drives off before this woman could catch up to him. Baba [Bill Maher:] he is the musician/philosophical one and yes if you are thinking that this is a stand up comedian/TV presenter and a host of his self titled TV program Real Time with Bill Maher since 2003 you would be correct.

Generally speaking: I have to say the storyline is one of those outlays that is this is a section of these characters lives; I was thinking I would just add this in if you thought this film was aimless and the framework and pacing of this 100 minutes film is straightforward as it knows what it wants to do and get on with it.

Action/Comedy: as I have already given you will one example I will just give you another small example to look out for; watch out for the usage of the flamethrower; not criticising it, but I do think they missed out expanding this a little; should have used some hotdogs and/or marshmallows in one scene. Yes the action or/and comedy brings a little bit of substance to the film.

Character developments and performances; but we now move on to the biggest assets to this film bar none; it is this cast of characters and performers; it puts across to its audience that regardless of ethnic background or any background as you will see in this film; this cast of characters/performers can build this family atmosphere, okay they may not always get the long but when the chips are down as least someone from time to time will stand up and do what they feel is necessary, consequently hopefully inspiring mostly the others to do so as well. But it has to be said even though this film is almost 4 decades old, why is it that the outlook of today's society in 2023 and beyond is that in 1983 they were building character developments like this and instead of moving forward we have gone backwards, so in essence these character developments/character types still hold great value and a timeless quality based on we knew it back then and the sad thing is we have more division than ever.

This film receives: 6/10, this film is good; as I was just saying that character developments, the performances and all of that are as I already referenced also are of the biggest asset to this film by none and yes this film has one ending sequence in the ending credits and on top of that one extra scene after that.

Ultimate Muscle: The Kinnikuman Legacy [Season 1,] Episode 42: The Prince and the Pauper by AverageMansReviews

Review Time:

5 things about this episode

Warning: there is flashing/colourful/other effects/bodily functions/transformation/environmental

"The Scouts of the Soil's" El Nino: Storyline, Character [Character developments,] Action and Art; this is the guy that Kidd Muscle will have to wrestle right now in this episode, if he wants to take the final spot in the Chojin Crown Tournament. The name of his faction/stable comes from with his children [in attendance] and himself as they come from a farming background; they are the protector of peasants, the downtrodden and they are fearless. He performs this thrash suplex; he blocks/reverses this to take from Kidd that comes in flying feet first, so Nino hooks his feet underneath his arms and takes Kidd down using the bridge of a german suplex [holding until the end of delivering this reversal;] so Kidd finds himself on the mat face down and this is an imaginative, creative and different take on a form of a german simplex sort of suplex.

This episode receives: 8/10, this episode is excellent; and swiftly moves on to the tournament [or just to cover my back, because I haven't seen the next episode yet,] but having said that; let's just presume it does move on to the tournament; it sets things up nicely just to continue things from here.

 

In-depth Predictions/Other elements for WWE Survivor Series: WarGames 2023 by AverageMansReviews

In-depth Predictions/Other elements for WWE Survivor Series: WarGames 2023 by AverageMansReviews

Bianca Belair, Charlotte Flair, Shotzi & Becky Lynch vs. Damage CTRL's: the WWE Women's Champion Iyo Sky, Bayley, Asuka & Kairi Sane [with Dakota Kai;] Women's WarGames Match: my pick is Damage CTRL's: the WWE Women's Champion Iyo Sky, Bayley, Asuka & Kairi Sane [with Dakota Kai.] It will probably be a case of Bayley almost losing it for her faction/stable but Sane thinks on her feet and quickly turns it potential loss into a victory, so that they continue this awkward thing with Bayley and she may be is the weak link in the fraction/stable.

LWO's Carlito [with Zelina Vega] vs. Santos Escobar; Singles Match: my pick is Santos Escobar. To begin Escobar's singles life as a competitor on a big stage as a Premium Live Event, they may want to give him a dusty finish win here and there would seal his heel turn.

Zoey Stark vs. Champ The Judgement Day's. Champ Rhea Ripley; for the WWE World Women's Championship: my pick is Rhea Ripley. Now hopefully all of these matches/match slot have the potential on average to be positive and this one is no exception, I would really like not to see any other members of The Judgement Day in this match/match slot, even though Stark's is probably like 99% going to lose here I want her to come out of this match/match slot looking better than when she went in; that kind of thing.

The Miz vs. the WWE Intercontinental Champion Imperium's Walter [with Ludwig Kaiser & Giovanni Vinci;] Singles Match for the WWE Intercontinental Championship: my pick is Walter [with Ludwig Kaiser & Giovanni Vinci.] Yes this match/match slot should be good but deep down we know this to be or we hope this to be a stopgap feud.

The WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins, Cody Rhodes, Jey Uso, Sami Zayn & Randy Orton vs. The Judgement Day's: the WWE Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions Finn Bálor, Damian Priest, the NXT North American Champion Dominik Mysterio, DJ McDonagh & Drew McIntyre; Men's WarGames: my pick is The Judgement Day's: the WWE Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions Finn Bálor, Damian Priest, the NXT North American Champion Dominik Mysterio, DJ McDonagh & Drew McIntyre. They are going to probably use an older reliable match outlay where I am just going to speed this up a little; it looks like team Judgement Day are going to lose, but from out of nowhere Orton hits Rollins with an RKO; to set up Orton vs. Rollins at WWE Royal Rumble 2024 for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship where Orton will be victorious and become your new WWE World Champion.

Updated information: Dragon Lee will be replacing Carlito; but the result will be the same

Just a heads up: at one point or another I will be using a softer language to what I actually really mean and I really mean that in this content.

Kevin Feige; close I will try to get it spot on as transcript of what he has to say: "Everyone as a producer here at Marvel Studios, we find the negative word; word of mouth that our latest has been receiving outright offensive and irregular from our customers and common moviegoers, our goal at Marvel is not divided but to unite everyone and our best approach to that is by embracing diversity, equity, inclusion and equality into our films and television productions and our use of equality at its best, we will be doubling down on these movements to better our products in the future, we couldn't be more excited for Iron Heart, Eko and others, but support strong female in our projects and we will continue to make that the norm. What we are doing with Marvel Universe comes from our best intentions and we value story and character development over any kind of report and gender in our films and streaming programs it's my job to make sure we have our roadmap organised effectively to cater to everyone in the right time bread out over the years to evolve and adapt to the times. I find nothing wrong story and what Nia [Nia DaCosta; one of the writers/the director of The Marvels 2023 film] was able to provide in The Marvels I firmly believe that the issue we are dealing with here has much to do with certain percentage of fans that are ready for change we have our current phase and the next along with what looms beyond our expectations with Marvel Universe.

Kevin Feige goes on to conclude; "We take great pride in adapting fan favourite comics that have not been touched yet and we look forward to providing everyone with a new and different touch films like Fantastic 4 and Blade both films will embrace our usage of DEI [on a quick side note; it stands for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion] effectively to cater to everyone to make these films more reliable to our core audience and our Disney customers [another quick side note; I should just point out that Disney have the same outlook, so they very much going hand-in-hand here.

I think the best place to start is a little bit of background on myself and you will see in due course where I'm going with this: I was born with brain damage, I also have a mental health illness on top and it has been with me for since a diagnosis of 15 years I don't see it going anywhere, as of this content being created and I was diagnosed being dyslexic at 18, I am in my 40's at one point or another I have come into contact with many different people of many different backgrounds, but I should this section on this line I don't speak for everyone, but as you can see I am at minimum while experienced in life; so I will get back to this content.

Don't take a dump on my cornflakes and tell me it's chocolate: here is the reason why I said the previous section, it was to highlight that mixed in with all this knowledge and experience, I also have street smarts and this speech is just grade A ball poo.

So firstly let’s take a look at this speech: "Everyone as a producer here at Marvel Studios, we find the negative word word of mouth that our latest has been receiving outright offensive and irregular from our customers and common moviegoers" this is generally true I can't stop laughing at this statement, no I really can't every time I listen to it I cracked up laughing. Because for quite a few reasons; as film is a part of arts, media, entertainment and consumerism; by definition it is for their open up to first of all freedom of choice and if you are offended by that you are in the wrong line of work. I am not speaking for everybody, but just speaking generally if somebody of any background doesn't particularly like the way that in this case in this section of the universe is going but it could mean all, why should they come back and watch another project be it film or TV content? No seriously if they just don't like something or have strong feelings about something they have no reason to come back especially and potentially if you do it time after time, their patients may have run out they just lose interest or whatever the case may be once again it is about freedom of choice and the final one here is consumerism like it or not Hollywood or in this case Disney/Marvel Studios get this into a heads even someone that has severe brain damage seems to understand this much easier than you do. Your consumers are telling you flat out at minimum because I don't want to put in words in anyone's mouth that they are far from happy with what is happening or your current way of doing things; in a nutshell they clearly don't want to have your agenda and yes you have one shoved down their throats. I mean I don't see a problem actually I see many problems, but your consumers are just telling you; I don't have to put up with this and that is their choice hence why it isn't a problem that is how consumerism works but on the other side it is a problem because they aren't consuming what you are selling.

The next point I want to focus on; I find it difficult to digest because it is so dumb; "embracing diversity, equity, inclusion and equality into our films and television productions." I would have never said this directly; because by doing so he has now made a rod for his own back and trust me when I say from somebody that knows about equality, inclusion and diversity basically all of these words are incredibly dangerous to be bouncing around; because he has left himself wide open for criticism at any point from now until the end of time, because it just takes one smart individual like me to point out where is my diversity, where was my equality, inclusion and so on and so forth? I don't need an answer; because I know the answer, I have learnt the answer and the answer is this; you use these words to fit into a narrative and your narrative is to appease the section of our society is that scream more and besides if you want me to be comical for one moment there is only one character off that of my head which fits some of my criteria Charles Xavier/Prof. X.

I mean how dumb does Disney/Marvel Studios have to be? I have said this at one point or another in other content. But it is so important to make reference again; I have no idea why they just didn't keep their mouths shut and say absolutely nothing, I have no problem with any other ethnic background, sexuality, gender or anything other. But what they should have done is slowly over time bring in different characters of any criteria they wanted, so you could have done/they should have done a slow progression of bedding in and by doing so you would hopefully get this passing of the torch or you could have just have them slotted in and have them be themselves and move on having hopefully the same kind of chemistry but also completely different as in someone is bisexual or a lesbian I mean this respectfully either way or anyway I don't care. But I have to be completely honest I am getting fed up of the fan base getting criticised because of whatever different background you want to do with generally speaking; most of us don't have a problem with whatever [I mean whatever in a nice sense.] Would accept a character from a different background, but the problem is; the way these characters and in some cases performer [yes Brie Larson I am talking about you] they are incredibly jarring from time to time. The more I spend thinking about this the more it irritates me, because all they had to do was keep their mouth shut [ and I know I have said this once already in this content] softly move things in and out and around so in essence you are a sports team without interrupting the flow too much is essentially my concept and this is crucially important finding performers and writers that actually care for the characters and not having any gender, like I have made reference to a lot in section alone, I want writers of any gender to come out with more than what I am saying at the moment I want to see characters that are three-dimensional like for an example briefly a lesbian character which happens to have a best friend which is a man. But sadly I doubt will see any of what I have suggested as Feige has made reference to them doubling down, which is just being tone deaf, stubborn and let's just call it as it is deluded, okay they don't have to take the criticism, they don't have to listen to their fan base, but without a shadow of doubt there is one thing that any business listens to regardless if they want to or not and it is money, so okay you are going to push these projects onto us that is your prerogative but at the end of the day the box office doesn't lie and money talks.

DaCosta; one of the writers/the director of The Marvels 2023 film and including Larson; Larsson has openly said between them this film was basically set up to probably fail, which puts egg on Feige' face and yes we are ready for progression, and how dare you put it back on us when you are failing all of us regardless of ethnic background, rainbow community or/and anything other and my final point has to be our core audience and Disney customers; what the hell is this garbage? That is the point right here; you are irritating your core audience base in fact throughout this and other speeches from Larson we are to blame so I will leave this content like this; if you are irritating your loyal fan base which has been with you since 2008 which is made you lots and lots of money why are you now taking a dump on us just so you can fit in with the status quo of social politics, when you should be showing the rest of the world how it should be done properly; in essence you should be trend setters not followers.
