Was Kiera Hogan getting thrown out of the baddies effectively her being written out of the company or something? I like her. I'd hate to see her go.

when AEW ends relationships it's typically been done quietly offscreen. if it's on tv then it's an angle.

I mean, if they really wanted to break the bank, they could get Shaq to train for another mixed tag against Hogan and Bow Wow

goodness knows, Shaq did surprisingly well in the first one, and not just because of Cody

Has blading always been a thing in pro wrestling or is there a particular person/promotion/territory that started it?

I can't remember the last time AEW actually did a big write-off angle (unless you want to count Cody putting over Sammy in that ladder match). Normally when someone is on the way out they just get sent home and aren't booked anymore.

I'm not sure Jade's winning streak should be ended on what is essentially a nothing trios match with no real stakes though. I'm leaning towards the Baddies costing Jade her title/streak at a PPV (a scenario like "an attempted beltshot with the TBS title by one of The Baddies being dodged by the challenger, accidentally nails Jade instead, pinfall, XX-1 graphic on the big screen while Jade has a meltdown").

There’s American football on tv at the bar I’m in and I just saw that they have camera drones flying around the field and poo poo.

This is a two part question:

1) How do we convince the boss that we need camera drones on Dynamite

2) How long until Darby jumps off of one

Are they drones, or are they using a Spidercam set-up? I can't imagine having drones buzzing every which way inside an enclosed building is the safest thing.

I dunno man, looked like they were flying to me. I guess it’d be pretty cool if Darby jumped off a spider camera too, maybe save that for Halloween or something though.

Here's an example of a Spidercam set up being used in a couple of rugby matches (I think it's the 2016 edition of the Rugby Championship fixture between the All Blacks and Wallabies, because that was a double-header with the Black Ferns playing the Wallaroos)

fun fact, the use of spidercam to film american football games was actually innovated by the XFL and then made its way into NFL broadcasts

Why did Andre the Giant show up in a couple of interviews for WCW near the end? Did he just happen to be around and they said "Hey come on TV for us!"

He needed money and he had fallen out with Vince. WCW was willing to pay him quite a lot to appear at Clash 20 for an interview in what turned out to be his last appearance on american TV.

What happened with Vince? Money as usual? Andre was probably still a bit of a draw but his body was dead in the water.

Andre was falling apart physically and couldn't really go but he still wanted to be the top guy and more than anything else he wanted to be on the road. Basically his entire career pre-WWF was spent on the road, since he was always the special attraction coming into a territory for a short while and then moving on. He loved being on the road with other wrestlers, hanging out in the back of the arenas, playing cards with them etc.
But yeah, Vince couldn't really justify betting so much on a guy that couldn't actually go any longer, no matter how much money he had made for the company in the past.

Andre did some really bad tours in Japan and Mexico near the end, he was teaming with Baba in Japan where they still got pops but not because of anything they did in the ring.

Friend sent me a rumor that this is what just happened with Regal, which would be a bummer :smith: really hope it’s wrong.

that rumor includes within it the idea that Regal's contract had a proviso that he could sever from AEW immediately and return to the fold if HHH wound up in charge of WWE so let's just hope Tony isn't that level of stupid, foolish, idiotic, and dumber than hell

Every man likes a pretty girl with him at a skeleton dance.
Is there a retrospective of Sweet and Sour Larry Sweeney? I didn’t know of him until after his passing and he’s kind of fascinated me. I’ve seen various clips and promos but never anything more, I’m not even sure I’ve seen a match of his or one where he was managing another wrestler.

Capes are cool, you just wear them out to the ring and do your peacock pose and then hand it off to the ref or your manager or whatever and then wrestle in your trunks
