Hating on Orange is the number one way to tell me you're an idiot who doesn't understand wrestling. Dude is over with the kids and wrestles like a Daniel Bryan or ZSJ while also doing a Roman Reigns superman punch. He gets it on a fundamental level.

This is trickle down from Brian R. Solomon talking about the Bret thing, Solomon being an anti-AEW guy who has bought and paid for a bunch of AEW shows for himself despite criticizing the company at every turn. And if you wondered if his replies had The Take, well!

Also Kenny vs Walter would rule and it sucks they’ve never gone against each other.

you can hit harder with properly taped hands because it keeps your knuckles from splitting/tearing and compresses the lovely little bones in your hand

If I recall correctly, the Duggan taped fist gimmick was over with the goofy rear end WCW fans and therefore was good

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.

It also lead to increasingly exasperated Bryan and Vinny rants over how dumb it was and that it went on for months

This reminds me of an AEW show where Excalibur and Taz acknowledge that ballet is extremely difficult and hard on your body, thus you need to be tough to do it.

According to last night’s WOR BP isn’t even officially signed yet. One day the Fedophiles are going to realize why none of us Aewilures are upset at losing him.

Let's say Pillman Jr either finds real success on the indies or the Fed picks him up and really gives him a great career; I'll be happy for the guy and I think most AEW fans would feel the same way.
The only thing I remember about his run in AEW was MJF's brutal promos against him, so it's probably for the best he go somewhere with a less stacked roster.

He said 'getting' so surely it's someone new. But then again Shibata wrestled on AEW last year.

Yeah BPJ still has plenty of potential, hope he lands somewhere where he can develop it. Shame he got a bit lost in the shuffle in AEW but it happens.

RUSH and Shibata are 100% good signings.
