There was that tweet JB put out after Atlas got signed which everyone wildly misinterpreted to mean that they were a couple and everyone laughed about it.

I remember that. Maybe that was it.

I do wonder how they're going to handle Alan Angles leaving the DO

Cezar clowning in the competition owned. they should have made him go last though.

He's not leaving Dark Order, he's leaving BTE for Sammy's Vlog.

It looks like it's a backwards handspring with your opponent's legs hiding the fact your head misses the ground

This is what I love about wrestling. The best moves are the ones that look deadly but actually miss by a million miles. What's funny is the ones that really hurt usually look like poo poo

Yeah, it looks like when people take it right it's some degree of this or landing on your opponents leg/your shoulders to protect yourself.

Also wrestlers are dumb and some are super willing to do a backflip onto their head and it makes the poison Rana look amazing.

It's a move that provably can take out Kenny Omega, but unfortunately JB is no Ishii.

Just from a quick google of "poison rana one winged angel," Swann did, PAC did, Fenix did, Sydal did, and you were right that Tanahashi did

I'm sure there were others. I would have sworn that Naito did at some point, but search results indicate that I may be thinking of Naito doing that to Okada in some match instead

If someone does kick out of the OWA, it better be like, a coronation of that guy going forward. Hangman may be the only one that makes sense for it, and I'm not even sure if he does. As far as I know, Kota is still the only kick out ever on that move (not counting Okada getting his foot on the ropes as a true kick out)

I think you're thinking of the 2017 G1 final. Omega is on the top turnbuckle and he's trying to do a super power bomb to Naito, but Naito counters into this massive loving rana off the top and Omega loving flings himself all the way across the ring. It was incredible.

Thats whats up!
I'm trying to think of a nice way to put this, but between messing up the footage of a Dark Order Skit, hitting a parked car, losing a game of hoops against Marko Stunt and breaking Don's hand Brandon Cutler might be the biggest geek in pro wrestling today. That's not even counting his on screen character.

If that happens it signifies the complete collapse of Paul's power in the company, so the forums will probably be hilarious.

I can't even conceptualize the series of events it would take to get Charlotte in AEW but I can pretty clearly imagine her getting cut because she decided selling for Red Velvet was beneath her.

Fightful dropping some heavy scoops:

quote:

We spoke to Griff Garrison and Brian Pillman while in Jacksonville about the Varsity Blonds team. Pillman put over AEW's creative process, and noted that there were a couple of people in AEW who didn't like the idea of Julia Hart with Varsity Blonds, but didn't go out of there way to try to stomp it out when he pitched it. Instead, he said that the company was willing to see how it went, and was a success. He also said that he had pitched the team name and presentation of the Varsity Blonds, and while some didn't think it fit, they went with it as opposed to shooting it down.

Griff Garrison just changed from 2-in-1 shampoo to Kirkland brand, and Brian Pillman uses about $100 worth of product in his hair. This was a spirited discussion, and it's worth noting Jungle Boy also uses Kirkland brand.

God damnit boys, just because you were born on third base with naturally good hair doesn't mean you shouldn't spring for the expensive haircare products. Pillman knows what's up because he's bleaching his.

Ashley Flair has unlimited potential so she might actually do well in AEW if they convince her that where she's at right now loving sucks as a character and a person.

It is interesting that Pillman seems to be the driving force behind it creatively because you watch their matches and it's clear as day that AEW views Griff as the guy from that team and Pillman as, uh, not.
