I basically preempted that as spoiler in the AEW thread. but like also whatever, the gimmick is I'm assuming people aren't watching the impact ppv.

They both honestly also have a really similar face, at least the forehead and nose. Look at pictures of them in real life.

i was working all day today but im also watching bebop vs lucha bros and it just hit me that hangman shoots the finger gun up in the air when the announcer says his name and kenny points the gun at the camera


this doesn't mean anything at all i just thought it was another cool parallel between two of my favorite guys

Someone cool shows up after the title match.

The women's title match is also worth watching. Deonna had an AEW-adjacent mystery opponent.

I want to see Shingo vs Omega
Kenny does too. He tweeted a while back that Shingo's the main guy in NJPW that he really wants to face but never got the chance. It's weird, they were only in NJPW at the same time for like 3 months, and they started Shingo as Jr. Heavyweight, so there was no opportunity for them to clash.

It's like goldy or bronzy, but made of iron.


In fact the only time Kenny and Shingo have shared the same ring was a ddt/dragon gate combined show in 2012 when they were on opposite sides of a tag.

Darby moved the coffin just before the drop. That would’ve been my cue to brace.

Basically Tony Kahn has gifted us the MCU of professional wrestling and now we’re getting to the part at the end of the first Avengers movie where we see Thanos for the first time and it’s like ohhhhh poo poo.

it was probably mostly balsa wood or some other incredibly soft wood as well, and we can see Page scrunched on the right half of it with his arms covering himself, it's probably larger inside than it looks, like a magician's box, i'm sure it wasn't any more dangerous than other type of stunt

It is rumored that after Space Jam's success in 1996 there was an idea for a pseudo sequel called Space Slam, which was going to feature Looney Tunes and WCW wrestlers. Now would it work with AEW wrestlers? Yes. Would it suck horribly? Also yes.

But lol look it's Bugs dressed up as Orange Cassidy.

I still think the dumbest Darby bump was him getting thrown down the stairs. He must really trust Ethan Page. And have literally 0 care for the bones in his body.

Darby doing the coffin drop right onto the apron still makes me wince every time. It's probably the hardest one to watch of all the bumps I've seen him take

I have to assume Darby has had at least informal stunt man training through hanging out with guys like Knoxville and other skate boarders. Stair falls aren't easy, but if you control it you can do it relatively safely.

Either that or he's a lunatic.

You certainly do not have to and I personally am holding strong on telling Kenny and Don that I respect the hustle but I'm not watching impact.
