Nothing's better than postin' in the morning!



I really hope they run with Mister Wardlow, it just felt right. He looked great in the match too, just tossing Komander around, though the knee scare was rough. I'm starting to believe in him all over again.

One would think that the surprise at Revolution would be either Mone' or Okada.

Yes. He announces Ospreay ahead of time, Mone and Okada are surprises for the show proper. A classic misdirect.

They've been grinding wins on Cutler and Colt during the pre-show/Being the Dark Order every week for months. That's gotta add up to something.

Thank you Tony for bringing back RVD. That match was fun :)

Every time RVD shows up I get sad because he looks so old and washed up

and then he gets in the ring and it's like "oh nevermind, he's still good"

Tweeting like a basic bitch, doing promo segments in sweats, flexing to himself in the tron, bringing back the casualty of war, hanging out with Matt Taven. Mr. Wardlow is the gimmick correction Wardlow needed.

2024 is gonna be the year of Mister Wardlow if they run with it.

excellent dynamite, one of the best i've been to live. didnt hate anything on it, rampage was a lot of fun too. crowd didnt seem as small as everyone was worried about, all of the floor and 2/3rds of the lower bowl were filled, only two sections of the low bowl were tarped off and it was the usual hard cam/production area. crowd felt lively for a lot of parts but were definitely quiet during the purazzo/valkyrie match and one of the rampage matches. i thought both dealer's choice matches and mox/hardy were excellent. i am really enjoying jeff hardy's foray back into singles action so far.

only one merch stand for the entire arena was frustrating though and they wound up selling out of the sting shirt i wanted. that is an avenue that really needs to be fixed especially 5 years in now.

This was always true of AEW, one merch stand and one VIP line and both are backed up out of the building. I remember going to wwe shows and they'd have four or more merch stands set up

Tho one time I was waiting for my friend to buy beer so I just went to the bathroom and Scorpio Sky walked in and starting pissing beside me and I didn't notice until I was washing my hands and saw him in the mirror and I said "yo, have a good match buddy" and he tried to give me a fist bump but he didn't wash his hands and was on his way to a meet and greet. pre pandemic times were wild

meeting wrestlers when they aren't performing and learning they're just as weird as goons are that happen tv is always such a whiplash. also seeing them irl and learning that hardly any of them are as tall as tv claims they are

wrestlers lying about their heights as if they were on dating apps. I've met people billed at 7 foot that were like 6'5 at best and wrestlers billed at 6 foot tall that were like 5'9 with lifts. The most surprising sizes to me are joshi wrestlers who are incredibly tiny and 00's mid-carders who are all over 6 foot

I think their billed weight is worse than their billed height. At least with height the difference is usually only a couple of inches from their actual height.

Somehow Ruusev was billedthe same weight as The Undertaker and I don't think either of them were close to 300 pounds lol

You'd think someone like Miro would look like a giant in AEW compared to WWE, but no, he still looks surprisingly smaller than the billed weight of near 300 pounds or whatever. Especially when you have other visibly bigger guys whose billed weight is less than his.

Debut Evil Uno looked like he was 300 pounds, he was a thick man. I don't know how worked UFC heights/weights are but there's no goddamn shot Miro was the same weight class as brock lesner

MMA heavyweight covers from 206lbs up to 265lbs, with Brock usually having to cut a bit of weight to make the cut IIRC.
