Fun fact that few know about: Clash of Champions is this Sunday. It may surprise some, but that's because WWE is just not very good anymore at building anything that isn't WrestleMania. This card came out of nowhere.

It's a stacked card but not in a good way. There's too much on the card, and that's not including the promised 24/7 Championship match (segment) as well as whatever happens on the Kickoff.

Sure, there will be great moments. WWE as always has too much talent not to deliver in some ways. I just wish I could get excited about WWE shows regularly rather than feeling they came up out of the blue.

Over time, I have learned a simple truth. It is best to never have expectations. Trailers and advertisements will always give a false expectation of what a movie ought to be, but it is rare that it quite delivers on those promises.

2019 has been slow to pick up, but a few recent movies have thrown me completely off guard. I thought I knew what to expect from the films, but they were largely far better than I could have hoped.

I almost skipped them, but I was glad for the opportunity to check them out once I did.

This time around, I will be reviewing four 2019 films: the chaotic adventure-comedy Dora and the Lost City of Gold, the depressing cultural drama The Farewell, the mystery thriller Luce, and the dramatic comedy Brittany Runs a Marathon.

Quick Take: It Chapter Two has the epic scale of a true sequel, building on the foundations of the contained horror of the first. It is not as scary as the first and is pushing on being overlong, but it is well acted and driven by stronger character depth, leading to an enticing if flawed second act.

I really don't want to jinx it, but I think WWE is finally starting to get it. I'm talking about their storytelling or booking. That will always be all over the place. It's the match quality. The wrestling is finally starting to feel like it's rising to the level of the talent.

Monday Night Raw and SmackDown Raw are putting on a pair of quality matches at the least every week. 205 Live and the NXTs had already gotten there, but they feel even more consistent. It just feels like the shake up backstage and potential additional freedoms have given this roster its due.

Even when the booking isn't great, I'm excited to watch all these shows again because there's a chance for an absolute killer match every night.

I came into All Out genuinely excited for what was coming. The card was strong. The talent involved set a high bar that felt difficult to meet but certainly feasible. It came off as AEW's WrestleMania or at least its most important event to date.

It is important though not to get too excited for wrestling in any form. It's a sad cruel world in which to be a fan. Even at its best, wrestling will always disappoint you.

I say all this not to make any statement that All Out was bad. It was a fun event, but it was never going to be this earth-shattering moment for the company that I had hoped it could be.
