I hope they do the thing Cage and Silver did in PWG where they switched move sets

So I assume this is common knowledge and assume they're both AEW wrestlers now but I have no idea who these are.

EDIT: Wait I got it, because of the mask Evil Uno, so the other person must be STU WITH HAIR???

Alternatively the mask person is Penta Zero Coolness. Which is, you know. Impossible.

It is Uno and Stu (then Dos). They loving ruled back then.

Silver's indy gimmick was cruiserweight that thinks and IS a super heavyweight.

Now that most of the spoiler thread stuff is announced, very curious about regular Dark because, as you can see, it's over ten freaking matches on Dark:Elevation, and nothing was filmed for Dark.
Isn't Dark Classic supposed to go into a different format/venue now anyway?

I will say i think this is a flaw and that AEW should have more poo poo that's just weird in it, but that's personal taste. I would /love/ if Kris Stat was just an alien. I got in with lucha underground and it's left me a craving. Hopefully Malakai and Abadon, once she gets called up to the main show, get more of that in there.

If you liked LU, start watching MLW. Dario's there as the same character under a new name, and putting together a new spinoff show that's supposed to show up this autumn. It's basically "What's Azteca Underground doing in the MLW Zone" but hey, I'll take what I can get.

A friend/coworker of mine told me that Orange Cassidy was coming to some convention around here, this prompted another coworker to go "oh poo poo, I love that guy. He's brilliant."

This dude has said multiple times that he doesn't like wrestling at all and will do an exaggerated eye roll when it comes up. The eye roll stuff is just him messing around, but the dislike is genuine. Not a huge deal or anything, but I did find it interesting.

The first guy is someone I've been friends with for about 15 years and across two separate jobs. He's never showed any interest in wrestling either, but he's been slowly getting into AEW after I sent him some Best Friends videos. I thought their weird sense of humor would click with him and I ended being right.

Im glad wrestling is fun again and I can do stuff like this. I would've never sent anyone WWE stuff from around the early 2010's when I stopped watching.

Orange is a great wrestling ambassador for people in their 20s and 30s, in my experience. I've had similar luck with the Lucha Bros. and, more recently, AEW Dark's commentary.

I'll never get tired of saying that ExCal and Taz are my favourite commentary duo. You can see they like what they do and they have so much fun with it. I also enjoy Ricky Starks joining them.

I called my dad to talk about Jesus Christ superstar and what he thought of it and what my grandma thought about it when it came out in 73. While talking he brought up AEW.

He and my grandpa are really upset at those sneaky elite for always cheating and can't wait for Hangman to beat Kenny for the title :)

Watching AEW has me interested in watching the silly little indie wrestling shows here in CT. I can't wait. One promotion here had a dude whose gimmick was that he was Amish. He'd churn butter in the ring.

Yeah, I get the impression he'd love to do some stuff with AEW. His mother in law in there, and his wife did a couple of announcing gigs for the women's tournament, so there are some connections.

Sounds like Levi Everett who I've seen people claim is actually Amish and not just Amish for a gimmick? Not sure how true that actually is.

Especially the idea that they have Exclusive Contracts cause there's no way they can afford to pay a half-decent wage, like how Lucha Underground would sign people to exclusive deals despite the fact they'd film entire seasons in like one week and then the wrestlers would just be hosed for the rest of the year unless they also worked AAA.
