I'm not interested in constructive criticism, believe me.
I am glad Vinny is the voice of reason on Edge/AJ because I was gonna go crazy if everyone kept saying it was great.

The worry going in that it was going to be a 30-minute psychological slog that the crowd wasn't invested in, and sure enough!

Just an insanely frustrating match. Cutoff spot after cutoff spot, and no big offensive sequence or extended rally from AJ to make the crowd think he has a chance.

Bryan is an extremely small man so that’s his perspective

aj hasn't really had a good wrestlemania history has he. i think his best received match was the one against shane, and that's mostly because people expected it to be bad.

This could be the most one-sided fight since 1973 when Ali faced an eighty-foot tall mechanical Joe Frazier. My memory isn't what it used to be, but I think the entire Earth was destroyed.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Retro reviews are just great for that. Bryan and Vinny's Nitro reviews have attained legendary status but what the shows were comparing was RAW and Nitro on the same night, and noting that for 1996 to 1997 Nitro was so much better than RAW.

A personal favourite is their realisation, and week on week discussion, that the Nation of Domination were 100% right all along and were the faces against a systemically racist audience and company.

Best part for me was:

Dave: They tried it with Lex Luger and it didn't work!
Bryan: Yeah but that was Lex Luger.
Dave: ....well... yeah. Yeah, it was Lex Luger.

Honestly, Cody kind of sits in the same space in my head as Lex. Like, he's talented, yes, but the reactions at his most over seem so at odds to me with the actual quality of his output. So yeah, booking him like Lex will kill him just as dead. Who's Bret in the equation? Kofi?

Well I mean Cody is a lot like Lex Luger in that if given the choice I'd prefer Bret Hart (and Sting!) but Cody isn't exactly alone in that respect :hmmyes:

Love that Granny's logic is that Vinny's correct guess of who she thought would win Edge/AJ doesn't count because she didn't watch the match :lol:

Goons may be interested by this: AEW wrestler Eddie Kingston is on The Long & Winding Royal Road to chat about the June 6th 1998 Triple Crown match between Toshiaki Kawada & Kenta Kobashi, as well as about about his love for '90s All Japan in general.

Find something to love as much as Eddie loves Kenta Kobashi.

I do want to know which legend he was in a car with watching Kawada vs Kobashi on his phone though. I kind of hope it was Minoru Suzuki.
