Cutler chat from last page -

Add Cutler to the long list of things AEW did that I thought was bad at first but eventually it came around to being good. Cutler is such a vet and paid hella dues in the indies and now he's a goofy young boy. That didn't sit right at first but drat he's just so loving good at it.

I honestly felt so bad for the guy when he sprints down to the ring so god drat hyped with his goofy running style, then trips and has all his stuff go flying into the ring.

He's just so amazing in that role.

Finally watched the Road To. And drat, Lance Archer. Something so powerful about him just talking in this measured, even tone. I still don't know if I think Archer will be winning the title, but I Believe.

Okay, new Road to Dynamite, heck yeah, let's go, let's watch Road to Dynamite

*pause 5 seconds in*

Shawn Spears either wants to or already has hosed a chair.

If nothing else, they could have a segment where the Pinnacle are having a meeting at Shawn Spears house and have Cassie Lee come in through a door in the background dressed as a sexy chair and do an immediate Abe Simpson style u-turn when she sees the rest of the Pinnacle.
But I'm a sucker for visual gags.

I got a breakfast sandwich at a coffee shop the other day and I was happy that the guy put it in the panini press to warm it up. Then I watched in horror from across the room as he immediately put it in the microwave after that. Zero stars. Worst Bagel of the Year Candidate.

And I was like, "Alright,'" so I went back and gathered everyone around and I said, "Alright, so we're The Wingmen now," and they said, "What does that mean?" "You know, like when you go to a bar and you help a guy meet a girl. We're just that.. just, all the time. And it's not really ever about women."

This description is incredible.

the "and it's not really ever about women." seems like a minor detail, but it's such an important factor in why the gimmick is awesome

it might still be fun at times if they were striking out with babes or whatever other generic comedy poo poo, but since they're just good buddies who have each other's back and are completely clueless about sex (the volcel wingmen!?) it elevates the hell out of it

Listening to Talk is Jericho and I can tell why The Honk is a locker room's favourite. 7 mins in he explains how he got invited to -1's birthday party (good old friends with Brodie) and they told him to bring his wrestling gear, the rest is history.
