punk really should have gotten the shibata procedure

After the Kojima match they had to take his shattered balls out but they weren’t able to put them back in, so he had what’s known in the medical community as a “Half Shibata”.



During this segment my wife goes “everybody’s gay for Mariah May” which i feel could become a t shirt.

Not sure what I loved most, the backstage footage or Ospraey dunking on HHH.

Love that messy poo poo, you can bet HHH is so pissed off today and I love it.

AND they even pushed the YB/FTR match forward nicely. Just incredible. Thank you EVPs, thank you BBT!

He said in his Unrestricted podcast interview that he only wants to be onscreen as a wrestler if they can make it special and not just a nostalgia pop and I really do respect that but god what I wouldn't give to hear "K O W KINGS" one last time.

I'm hoping they do something like KOW vs Mox/Dragon

Also I caught Ospreay's promo but missed what he said about wacky ol' HHH

Just also wanna chime in that Ospreay is gonna be huge as a babyface, he's so good at it.

He already feels like the biggest babyface in the company despite his Don Callis association. When the United Empire are back as a full group and they turn face, the feud with The Elite is going to be nuts.

I'm a mark who was drawn to the whiteboard stuff behind the Bucks while they were doing their promo. Most of it was things like "Pick up drycleaning" or "Kia or Ferrari?" but the one that caught my eye was only from certain angles and looks to be something like "5.2024 YB PUMP"

Something happening next month? Some bullshit like a sneaker collab or something?

Agreed. And now would have been the perfect time to do it, with the boyfriend already there and the best friend on maternity leave. Sometimes, those life pieces fit together, and the life pieces are more valuable than the work pieces.

Laughed real hard at Stokely throwing out that challenge. Fun little segment even if Copeland completely took Willow’s idea right out of her mouth and suggested it as his own.

- brings more experience and creativity
- brings the current fanbase to new promotions and expands everyone's wrestling mind
- for the younger ones, do it before anyone has kids and that set of concerns isn't there

It was a fun segment all around; I laughed at him making up a silly nickname for the Cope/Eddie/Mark trio :allears:

At least I don't dance with them, right?

Watching a storyline this loving gay on nationally televised wrestling is still melting my mind. In a good way, but still.

(Also that part of Cope's promo was awkward, but sometimes a meeting goes off track and you need to recenter it.)

Dynamite was alright. I didn't really like the opening segment, and i could have done with less "AEW RA RA RA RA!" in the promos, but the matches were good and the backstage tape is causing some people to meltdown and others to worry their pearls into nubs, so I find it even funnier.

How does Okada's neck breaker not actually, yknow, break necks? Is he supporting the weight of the person on the side so it's not full coming down on the neck? poo poo looks so brutal every time, I love it and his nonchalant "Yeah I just did that" reaction afterwards.

Schiavone dropping that the mixed tag match next week will be the first time the TNT and TBS champion will "face off" in a match (inasmuch as they can) was a cute little factoid. It's neat and I hope they mix the divisions more as it's a good way to help the whole show feel integrated and cohesive.

It's something I noticed with Copeland early on, both he and Eddie commenting on the Young Bucks' attack on Sting and Darby. Acknowledgement that people know what's happening on their own TV show, even just tiny lines, can add a lot.
