Sad to see how underrated this channel is, not nearly enough views for this hidden gem of a channel

[@TheThird1977]

Jack saying Doctor "Best Villain in the Raimi Trilogy and Arguably the Best Villain in Modern Comic-Book Movie History" Octopus isn't a good villain is peak talking-out-of-your-arse.

[@joshschneider9766]

Lol UK slang makes even that sound prestigious lol

[@tusharsrivastava12]

He is the best Spider-Man villain I’d say close second would be the green goblin but for modern comic book movies I’m not sure you can look past Heath Ledger’s Joker

[@liamhemstock2286]

Doc Ock and Thanos and Joker (Dark Knight) are my favourite comic book movie characters

1:40:20 Jack’s just reminded me how incredible it’s going to be when Punk makes his entrance at all out and finally shouts “IT’S CLOBBERIN’ TIIIIIME!”

[@jpsweeney6833]

But Liam (in the most annoying voice ever)

[@JimSocks12]

Jack, what in the holiest of all fuck's are you talking about?! Doc Ock is one of Spider-Man's greatest villains, in every media.

[@thegeekwithin91]

Half the comments: "CM PUNK, CM PUNK, CM PUNK!!!" Other Half: "Jack is wrong about Spiderman villains"

Don’t worry Maffew. I didn’t get my driving license until the 6th attempt. For some reason I just couldn’t get through the tests without doing something stupid.

Maffew has the most genuine laugh when something really pops him. It cracks me up so much.

I love how much Ross is into "It's night time! And night time is the right time!"

Or I guess Knight time

[@craigwarke]

Ah Jack making big statements like "doctor octopus isn't even a good spiderman villan" and then proceeding to show that he has only a small passing knowledge of the subject, must be Friday again. I bet he had a four episode DVD of the old spiderman cartoon when he was younger and Kravens hunt was the only one he remembers

👎 not even close. Lmao. "Doctor Octopus" gtfo, mate hahaha

[@JordanK14]

Maffew speaking a bit of what I was thinking watching Rampage. Private Party came in, beat the Young Bucks seemed like the hottest up and coming tag team and since theyve turned heel have been just another team.

[@JohnnyFWA]

With that being said, if Fraser wants to come to NJ to see Shang-Chi, I’ll gladly go a third time

[@bostondevil7]

Psymon was good in SSX cuz he had that crazy helicopter Uber trick where he spun the board around his neck, but Mac and Elise were tops

[@FuckBalls64]

I'm the gender-indeterminate kid of a highly religious, anxiety and cleaning-OCD stricken mother, so Psymon was my fave day one. XD

B4 video has even started. This gonna be my first aew ppv that I've purchased My son is sold on it as well. Doesn't need to be a barn burner. Just needs to be decent. But looking at those involved. Hopes are sky high

[@ohb71303]

Yeah, don’t understand people’s hate when it comes to pro wrestling. That Punk return was AMAZING. Plenty of people crying over it. Still think a lot of people (cause I did) tuned into SummerSlam to see how many Cm Punk chants would happen when Hayman went out with Roman. Clearly a lot of WWE freak outs after he debuted.

[@Nbflowers1989]

1:27:54 I freaking LAUGHED

[@bornturnerdead]

So excited for the review show!! 😁

[@kasaddams7836]

He was called Psimon because he was supposed to be so fast that people joked he has Psychic powers, so he took the joke and combined psychic and Simon. Psimon. There ya go Jack

[@kaylamoonshoes]

As a kid I wanted my entrance music to be "Stone Cold Crazy" by Metallica or "Animals" by Nickleback. Now I want "Love Bites and So Do I" by Halestorm.

[@arcanepirate4601]

Survivor Series predictions boys - Upstairs Office vs Downstairs Office A person from each team take it in alternate turns to pick one match and predict the winner - if your prediction is correct your team gets a point but if not the point goes to your opponents. So say Jack has first pick for Upstairs and he chooses the Raw Vs Smackdown women's title match that match cannot be picked again!... Next pick may be Adam for downstairs and he picks Universal Vs WWE title match and then for Upstairs it's Ross..... so on and so on until all matches are selected - most points wins, simple!.

[@cheezeofages]

I have to wonder if there's a little voice in the back of CM Punk's mind thinking "I should bring back the Pepsi Plunge for just this one match, since it would be symbolic and it's also fitting to the opponent."

[@jvlgar]

I don't know why but I'm dead at "Samoa Pjoe"

Inclusion of young Jamie and screen sharing, excellent addition. Love you guys

I actually used "Psymon" as a sort of play nickname growing up, even before SSX came out. So of course when it did come out I gravitated towards using Psymon in the game, lol.

[@angelcanez4426]

The Song Jacks thinking of is "DLZ" by TV on the Radio

[@JoeRH91]

The Tyne Wear Metro banter is quality. J to Manors is a decent route, if he'd gone from North Shields into Manors he would be dead...

Punk's right shoe said "CF" on the first night. Check out the video package from last night's Rampage.

So with CM Punk back, do you think AJ Lee will come out of retirement and join AEW?? Britt vs AJ would be great.

[@2sweet4life96]

What we really need is Joey Diaz to be on the new spiderman

[@Steeldragon493]

Gah Jack has the Lucozade just to rub it in lol, I saw it at the store the other day, but since it's an import here it's so pricey, and I did see that they had basic orange Lucozade, but like a giant 1L bottle for like $8. One of these days

[@craigmcintyre6943]

I'm in Australia....miss the Lucozade in the foil pouch. Haha and Ribena in the same.

[@craigwarke]

4 years in Canada missing Lucozade, came back and 6 months later Auntie Aspartame ruined it, don't worry lads Lucozade isn't worth the bottle it's put in anymore 😔

[@arcanepirate4601]

As good as Ross' Sha Samuels impression is you should really watch some NXT UK boys (we know Maffew won't give it the time of day for other reasons) your quick to dig at it but it has - a vast array of different characters (there not all cockney barrow boys and peaky blinders knock offs), consistent storytelling both long and short term, feuds that make sense and come to natural conclusions, Heritage cup is something different, great focus on both Womens and Mens... and even the tag divisions, great in ring action..... and all within an hour a week!

[@EvaWaffel]

I would enjoy the winner of predictions getting something nice

Ross and his Mam Kayla vs Andrew and Johann! Joanne? I don't know how to spell it correctly but it's going down!

[@liamhemstock2286]

I think it will be a fantastic match in my opinion. Even if the in ring work is just “good” the crowd will elevate it even more (like Rock vs Hogan)

[@GoldenKnightsFan_84]

jack at 1:40:31 made me laugh hysterically

[@galbert117]

Wait you guys had assembly songs?

[@JagerLange]

It's on time Friday is saaaaaaaved

[@shortbusbone4468]

I just started watching AEW about two weeks ago and I was wondering if you could do a recap video. On everything from Jungle Boy and the kid who comes out with them to Matt Hardy and the guy who has an obsession with his pockets. I can’t figure out what the crowd is saying when he’s "kicking" Matt. How Darby Allin and Sting got together (is that his kid?) I would really like an intro on all of the AEW stars if possible. Please!!!

[@JordanK14]

I'll take a stab at this. So Sting showed up in December and him and Darby have just been connected since his first appearance. They have not said they are family but more likely because Darby is so much like Sting from WCW (Wearing black, face paint, hanging out in the rafters etc.) Matt Hardy turned bad a while ago and became Big Money Matt where he went around signing a handful of tag teams to his faction (Hardy Family Office) where he gets a big portion of their earnings. The HFO are currently feuding with the Best Friends made up of Chuck Taylor, Kris Statlander, Wheeler Yuta, Trent (out injured) and Orange Cassidy (pockets guy). When Orange does his little kicks the crowd just reacts like he was delivering strong kicks just as a joke because obviously the kicks arent doing anything. Finally I forget how Marko Stunt joined Jurassic Express. I believe it was the second or third AEW show he showed up, but I forgot how he was put with them.

[@shortbusbone4468]

@@JordanK14 I was wondering why called him big money Matt. That makes since now LOL thank you.

[@HopZine]

Why would they not bring Kross over to the main roster without Scarlett? She plays a major part in his presentation.

[@leonawlison7125]

Hi everyone hope everyone its feeling good if not am always a message away or if you in uk you can call me if your feeling down

[@lighteningleke3228]

Just think if Punk is ever going to do the Pepsi Plunge ever again who better to do it on than Darby since Darby is barely 150lbs, plus I always hated seeing punk do the GTS since Kenta is the inventor of the move and in my mind should be the only person to do it, the same with Bryan's Cattle mutilation submission in stead of the Le Belle Lock which again the first person I ever saw use that submission was Kenta and the same with the Running Knee move or in Kenta's case the Bicycle Knee.

[@lighteningleke3228]

Also Jack you said that it must be hard for Rollins to do the phoenix splash because he is so tall, well I have met quite a few of the sports entertainment performers over the last 20+ years, and Rollins with out ring boots is only about 6ft tall maybe 6'1ft, Reigns is not that tall also he is at most 6'2ft he is just on a ton of steroids and HGH, Orton is only 6'3ft without ring boots. I will say Drew is one of the only guys who is actually billed at the correct height, in his ring boots Drew is almost 6'7ft and without ring boots he is just taller then me I'm just over 6'4 barefooted and Drew is just over 6'5ft in normal footwear so I guess he is 6'5ft flat barefooted. Plus it is not as impressive as Omega who does it from the second rope and Omega is only 1-2 inches shorter then Rollins.

[@mattnoble3444]

how about punk gives darby the gts so hard he flies out the ring and accidentally coffin drops sting.
