Not an awful lot of progress on the actual paint job....but, I decided to add some LEDs to the base in order to make him standout a bit more. #paintingwarhammer #warhammer #40k #warhammer40k

If it's happening,the mess could be indicative of a one foot out the door approach by either side mixed with a very short, contractual window as to when they can announce the swap over of services. I don't think it's due yet...but I wouldn't be shocked if a Wednesday,a Prime announcement got made

Paddy @sammcpaddy.bsky.social · 20/05/2025

Wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if the push for Amazon PPVs is leading to a Prime Video push for AEW (or a move to MAX) Regardless,I think it's only a matter of time before they move in with another streamer for big money over the subscription method.

Paddy @sammcpaddy.bsky.social · 20/05/2025

Feel AEW is likely to end up moving from Triller soon. Triller got in on the ground floor and got a VERY good deal for themselves that's only gotten better as more content has been made and landed there I think the streaming rights for Europe are likely too lucrative for AEW to use the sub route.

I know you've had your controversies over game reviews that have gone over poorly with publishers... ....but be careful with this one, journalistic criticism of Saudi Prince backed endeavors rarely goes well.

It's not for fans of its now 30 year old namesake. It's not for Bungie fans who want them to do legally distinct Halo. It's not for Destiny fans who,well, god knows what they actually want. It's not for extraction shooter fans because they're playing one already. It's for the ghost of Jim Ryan

The initial model reveal didn't exactly do the design itself justice. Very love it or hate it. But, it has absolutely grown on me the more I've seen

Paddy @sammcpaddy.bsky.social · 08/04/2025

I wish they'd give it to the women instead. Toni, Stat, Willow and Rosa Bayne, Penelope,Skye and Julia Have the most unspeakable levels of violence happening while Willow's theme plays throughout

Paddy @sammcpaddy.bsky.social · 08/04/2025

Anyone who has been Fantasy Booking Hangman Vs Swerve at All In should be forced to explain what the Hangman/MJF feud was before doing it.

000

Paddy @sammcpaddy.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

I say no....but only because I think it's time the women get the Anarchy in the Arena match and the Bucks/BCC/Death Riders have done them to death Toni,Stat,Willow,Rosa Bayne,Ford,Julia,Skye (Though Either that or yours needs Willow's theme playing while violent hell breaks loose)

110

Paddy @sammcpaddy.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

Calling it now, but the Hangman and Swerve tag match at All In where they take their animosity and hatred for each other out on their opponents, be it the Bucks or Hurt Syndicate, is going to be amazing. Them bonding over murdering a Jackson will be a card highlight.

000

Paddy @sammcpaddy.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

I remember everyone at the time cracking up when this was first announced as the Poster/promo material for Hell In A Cell that year because R Truth was barely getting a sniff of a 3 hour early 2010s RAW, let alone a PPV appearance in the Cell.

000

Paddy @sammcpaddy.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

Oh no, I get that, I'm more just making a joke at how notoriously unreliable it is for anyone to use the PPV advertisement as anything but marketing for the "feel" rather than the specifics. That's the job of promo packages and hype videos.

000

Paddy @sammcpaddy.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

The cynic in me does think there may have been some pivoting from existing plans(I think Swerves specific direction has changed due to Hurt Syndicate getting over as a face team rather than a heel Bobby singles vehicle) But no, there's been seeds here for a while, with Perry at bare minimum

030

Paddy @sammcpaddy.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

The stare down and back away from them. The "you're a good kid" with Perry Zero interaction or push back against Okada while he was flying solo. Oh there was definitely a connection here the whole time.

Paddy @sammcpaddy.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

I think the Swerve/Mox/Hangman discourse is a textbook example of folks not being able to see the booking and the storytelling come together

000

Paddy @sammcpaddy.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

Probably sounds a bit harsh, but I believe when it comes to wrestling discourse, there are people who understand the booking aspect and people who understand the storytelling aspect But it's an "either or" situation, and it is rare for someone to understand the interconnectivity of them.

110

Paddy @sammcpaddy.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

Marketing material for wrestling, especially months out that's being done to advertise the event not the card, should never be used as an indicator of the content of said show.

Paddy @sammcpaddy.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

This was in January. Smack bang in the middle of Hangman's face turn and trying to atone and seek forgiveness for his actions that lead to CD's retirement. The man looking for forgiveness wasn't doing this to tease a confrontation.

Paddy @sammcpaddy.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

Is scheduled to be tracking up Mt Everest for almost the entirety of the build to All In. Mox ain't going past All In as champ.

010

Paddy @sammcpaddy.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

I can't see them waiting essentially another year and a half for them to put it on him. I also can't see them having Mox retain at All In, as it's the logical moment where you take the belt back out and hold it high. They'll crown the next top guy at All In, and I think it's Ospreay.

000

Paddy @sammcpaddy.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

I think Darby was the initial plan, I think they pivot to Ospreay though just due to availability (and the prospect of an Ospreay World title defence against ZSJ/Gabe Kidd at Forbidden Door in London)

000

Paddy @sammcpaddy.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

The teases by AEW were never leading to confrontation, though clearly some fans misinterpreted that. They were teasing forgiveness or at the very least, an easing of hostilities/an uneasy team up based on both mens character growth since their last,direct feud.

170

Paddy @sammcpaddy.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

Simple question here. Why would AEW run an atonement arc for Hangman. A "don't slip back into old ways" arc for Swerve. .....and then have them go straight back to square one against each other? A Swerve/Hangman match goes against the last ~4 months of individual character work by both men.

180

Paddy @sammcpaddy.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

I think it's baffling that anyone is claiming that AEW was teasing a confrontation, when one man's arc is atonement and the other man's arc is not slipping into old ways. These are the absolute opposite types of arcs you use if you're building to a match that has to follow their previous bouts

030

Paddy @sammcpaddy.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

The tease,build and logical progression from the last 4 months was for a Hangman/Swerve team up, not a fight. Even just from a going to the well one time too often perspective,they shouldn't be booking another match against each other so soon.

Paddy @sammcpaddy.bsky.social · 30/03/2025

Hayter coming back, dealing with Saraya (can't deal with Ruby obviously) and saying she has unfinished business. All corresponding with Toni being off TV and then moving Hayter into the Hart feud to keep her busy when she came back as a Rookie all kinda said deliberately done to me.

010

Paddy @sammcpaddy.bsky.social · 30/03/2025

Id go for a time limit draw for the RoH title. I think it's possibly Athena/Diamante at Supercard though with a Moné appearance. Then the rematch for both belts (hell maybe throw the NJPW strong one on top for good measure) at All In.

110

Paddy @sammcpaddy.bsky.social · 30/03/2025

All gonna come down to the brackets though. I think there's some pretty obvious pairings you can go with to justify an Athena (Finals and a working hurt story, Billy)or a Mercedes (Billy picking up the surprise win, Statlander/Mone 3 with a distraction from Athena)loss while keeping them very strong

030

Paddy @sammcpaddy.bsky.social · 30/03/2025

I could potentially see a second match for them at Supercard I think Hayter is just the obvious winner due to her use since she returned. They've deliberately kept her away from Toni despite her being the one to put her on the shelf so they could wrap up the Mariah feud first.

200

Paddy @sammcpaddy.bsky.social · 30/03/2025

Cant see it Athena/Mercedes for the titles is the obvious All In match They'll likely both end up costing the other the Owen,directly in a match and indirectly (a Mercedes/Athena distraction/pre match beat down in the finals) They're not setting up Athena/Mone just for one to go on and face Toni

120

Paddy @sammcpaddy.bsky.social · 30/03/2025

Athena/Mercedes in the semi finals. Athena beats Mercedes or Mercedes beats Athena with heel tactics. Winner goes against Hayter in the finals and loses via distraction from the other. Hayter/Toni finally run it back after her title loss Athena Vs Mercedes belt for belt at All In.

010

Paddy @sammcpaddy.bsky.social · 30/03/2025

That's the finals(or Jamie V Mercedes either way, Hayter's taking the tournament)

Paddy @sammcpaddy.bsky.social · 25/03/2025

Literally just the main event scene bringing things down and even then I think it's been overblown and still seems to be resonating with folks outside of the online bubble. Excellent run of shows, a rehabilitation of Collision and top PPVs. Great run so far.

Paddy @sammcpaddy.bsky.social · 17/03/2025

Average Twitter videogame Advertisement seems to be "We're a small studio making a game inspired by *insert two to three games from wildly different genres* Wishlist now!" ...and proceeds to show a very generic top down shooter with no noticeable aspects of those games.

Paddy @sammcpaddy.bsky.social · 11/03/2025

(I'm honestly so annoyed at Konami not realizing just how well the AC!D games could potentially do these days at a time when deck builder games have never been more in fashion)

020

Paddy @sammcpaddy.bsky.social · 11/03/2025

I hope Konami sees sense and finally lets the best game in the series escape from the dated console it's been stuck on for almost two decades. That Metal Gear AC!D 2 rerelease is needed.
