ValeeLove: Ibou of Self Made Sessions (one of the press people at Hangman-MJF segment. Bodyslam reports it's not true, though they added no other context. I don't know who to believe. Maybe Brock will allow it. Meltzer and Ross Fap have more credibility than Ibou. That guy was disgraced for sharing rumors about Brit Baker cheating. |

So much for his undying loyalty to NJPW. Mariah May no do half this one yet AEW fans no let her rest. Why would Tony allow him talk about a partner promotion like this?

abduleez1: Wuthering Heights (2026).......8.5/10
The first half of this film gives you the usual preamble to a tragic love story. The forbidden love, the longing and pain in the eyes and suffering one has to endure being unable to express their love publicly all because of the barrier of societal class. A servant and a female aristocrat is obviously one of such forbidden liaison.
But, the second half of the film devolves into a tale of dangerous obsessive affection. It was grotesque, it was a sad watch to see the extent Heathcliff and Catherine would go for their crazy forbidden love. This is one of the darkest romance I've seen in recent times if not the One.
This story is a tale of a wicked love web that threatens to reshape all involved into malformed entities:
Catherine and Heathcliff, whose unspoken love and passion for each other grows till adulthood with the promise of never leaving each other. A forbidden love that promises certain destruction.
Edgar, who becomes enamored with Cathy and becomes her husband but feels the weight of being not enough for Cathy after the sudden appearance of her teenage love. A poster boy of unrequited love and insecurity.
Nelly, who was once best friends with Cathy as a child, saw her world crashing down when teenage Heathcliff comes along and steals the attention and love she enjoys from Cathy, her only friend. So now, silent disdain, jealousy and self pity fills that vacuum.
Isabella, a cheerful and naive girl who got drawn into a depraved love story between two crazies.
I've watched tragic romance movies before, but this has got to be the most gut wrenching I've ever watched, because everyone involved in this love story was left miserable beyond repair.
This is probably the best performance I've ever seen from Margot Robbie and Jacob "Heathcliff" Elordi just proved his mettle once more. The most convincing and menacing performance I've seen him ever deliver. Deserved of an Oscar nomination if you asked me. Top notch acting they all delivered.
Hong Chau (Nelly) really played the dutiful frenemy to a tee.... yanked between keeping Catherine from her destructive impulsive tendencies as a friend and confidant or whether to leave her to combust in the flames of love and its ensuing consequences.
This is probably one of those stories that has no in-betweens; it's either you love it or you hate it. I've not read the book, which is the source material for this, but, the first half of it gave you a glimpse of Emerald Fennel's style of sex crazed storytelling, but the second half slowly eased into a far darker tone of misery, jealousy, contempt, hopelessness, cruelty, self degradation and pure depravity of love, lust or passion— whichever you classify it.
These are themes I feel the film captured well about the book based on what readers of the book had said when the trailer dropped and when rumors came about how flatteringly sexed-up Emerald Fennell made the film into.
It is one of the most beautiful film I've ever seen. The colour,the visuals, it is a technical masterpiece. Linus Sandgren the Cinematographer for this pic ultimately COOKED with this. The production designer.....wow, what can I say. The music score is the most beautiful thing I've listened to this year...well, it was teased with that beautiful teaser trailer. They carved a world you could unashamedly get obsessively drunk on.
Well, it seems despite what people say about the director, Emerald Fennell can do no wrong in my eyes cos she knocked it out of the park with this one, for me.
Top shelf film, if you're willing to overlook the bias and accept that adaptations can't always be a like for like copy of the source material but an avenue to give a fresher interpretation of it while staying faithful to the themes. Na wetin u dey watch during Ramadan be this?  |

pu7pl3: I've not watched NXT since. What has Joe Hendry done with the NXT title? How good is the new North American Champion Myles Bourne? He's been feuding with Ricky Saints who he beat last PLE. Ethan Page pinned Hendry in a tag match last week, so he's probably next in contention for the title. Myles Bourne is okay in the ring but character and promo hasn't levelled up. |

Mann, if SINNERS win big awards tonight e go really pain me o. I don't mind it winning Cinematography and music score. But how person go sit down dey talk about Michael B Jordan for best actor? Well I ain't surprised sha cos I saw that exact same talk that he deserved to win for playing two characters a week or so ago. I just weak when I saw that comment on Twitter.
Yep, they really targeted Chalamet due to that opera and ballet talk. But what he said isn't far from the truth. It's just fake rage for me.
Seems y'all have taken your eyes off of One Battle After Another. After watching it last night, I just confirmed that it ain't all that. You talk as if the bar isn't already low with Anora winning 5 Oscars last year. |

ValeeLove: Of course they turned Randy, rince and repeat of last year because they don't want Cody turned. You don't even need to turn anyone. If a face and a face are fighting, turn them both to tweeners, that's how you do it. Same works for heel-heel. Don't be surprised when fans cheer the heel over him.

ValeeLove: This has to be one of the worst things I've seen in a while. Wrestling needs to change. A ref got brain injury after a failed bump led to an accident. He's currently hospitalized. Worst part is that after the accident he went into a seizure and the wrestlers pushed him to the side and continued anyway. What a wreck of a sport.😓
https://www.reddit.com/r/JimCornette/comments/1rsuliq/ovw_referee_dallas_edward_had_a_legitimate/ All those idiots deserve to be fired. Don't they teach em to stop matches when someone is legitimately injured? See that very big fool who rolled the ref when he spasmed, even use back leg sef. |

ValeeLove: so? You want to argue with my experiences or you think I don't fight for truth. Okay I've never encountered WWE tribalists before and therefore don't have suspicions that people I meet on websites could be one. I'm also a lousy liar. Happy Samistry? No, I'm not. It's how you say things that ticks people off. You said you won't be surprised if you realise the guys here are tribalists. That's not cool bro, nobody go DM you death threats here over wrestling. They reserve such malice for apc data boys. You also say u fight for truth. Having an opinion doesn't make others who disagree liars. Everyone is entitled to their opinion at the end of the day. |

ValeeLove: let them fire her and see if I'll still talk about her. I know you guys think she sucks, but the reason why I talk about her a lot is because of the magnitude of problem she causes; you're yet to realize it. If someone had taken Goldberg off the ring and asked him to brush up his wrestling, maybe Bret would have had a better career. If choreography wasn't a thing, if we kept the matches in the ring, if we properly vetted the wrestlers, maybe Big E would still be active. Do you know how many opportunities are lost simply because a simpleton like Cargill appears on my screen. The audacity of a Michael Hayes (though he apologised) to say Chelsea isn't main event quality when someone like Cargill raises the world championship whenever she's around is traumatizing to think of, because you realize Green isn't a main eventer so people like Jade can thrive. In summary, Jade being a wrestler and world champ is a big deal and I'm not pretending it isn't.
Like I said, I'm not going back and forth with you on Eddie and Thekla, I made my point in detail. You can accept it or not. Eddie hits the chops well due to it's speed. Thekla's promo has always stood out to me since day 1, DAY 1, and the internet can't get enough of it. Argue with them too.
To my guys here, I didn't call them tribalists, I don't know if they are, but I won't be surprised if I realize they are because I've had bad experiences with E fans online. They're cruel and will even come to your DM to attack you. But if they aren't it simply means I haven't convinced them. I'm no tribalist. I criticized AEW a lot, I just did with your Brody King post. I think Tony allows terrible things on his TV. He caused the Jade Cargill pandemic. And I wish he was more stern on some decision making process.
Why people argue with me is very simple, I like to fight for the truth and pro-wrestling is a grossly imperfect program with many things wrong with it. I watch for the love and it's basically what I grew up on. By the way, you guys argue with eachother when I'm not involved as well.
As for everyone's area of expertise and focus, I'm not dragging. My area of focus is on making pro-wrestling feel and look like a sport again while still maintaining the entertainment aspect of it. In other words, make this whole thing logical. When I say you rub people the wrong way, it's things like this. Nuff said.

ValeeLove: Cena was synonymous to 'hate' actually is what I meant.
Jade Cargill sucks, everyone knows it including her. It's not hate it's fact.
Folks here are E fans, some of them are tribalistic. Abeg provide the evidence, seen none.
I'm don't say the truth for favours, it's in my blood. She no good, move on. Yet every day you're here crying over Jade. I don't get the unhealthy obsessession really. No one will take those Eddie chops or Tequila promos seriously. The guys you label WWE tribalists critique same company here. When they do same to AEW, you argue to defend it even when it's wrong. Banter and Bad bele aside, I'm here on Thursdays posting clips of AEW matches. (WWE fan & tribalist 😉) . Seems you're the tribalist here. Why is it always you folks argue against ? It's because you got a serious case of main character syndrome which tends to rub people the wrong way. It always has to be your way and views 100% of time with no room for differing opinions. When CoolUsername was explaining about the joshis toning down their strong style in WWE or bound for glory using the point system I shut up and listen. When Ojagun was talking about looks in wrestling or Purple's take on elevating midcarders in NXT. I listen because there's a few things I can pick up. Heck, when you talked about using the judge system . I listened even quizzed you about the continental classic. No one knows it all, we're just fans on a faceless forum talking about the business of people playing fights in pants at the end of the day. |

ValeeLove: no deflect. Dey talk truth if you see truth and stop the hate, Cena taught us that. Truth? No be same Cena walk back e comments over Taiwan not to offend China. Stop Hate?Yet u dey here every eke market day dey shout jade jade like who dey cum on her body pillows. Funny how none of the folks here agree with your truths so far. You ignore everyone's else opinions despite videos and evidence to contrary. Holy Holy liar. Atleast this guy even receive free TV for e support. Wetin dem give u?
