I...really have to start watching again now.

Danielson and Cole in AEW, Danielson/Omega dream match that I thought would never happen in my wildest dreams :stare:

Possible Danielson/Okada, Danielson/Tanahashi, Danielson/Sabre down the line if he works New Japan :stare:

Possible Punk/KENTA ownership of Go2Sleep match :stare:

What the gently caress has happened in the last 16 months that I've been missing out on? :staredog:

There's a bunch of great people you've maybe only heard about but never seen too. They have all these big stars, but they also have a bunch of great up-and-comers like their entire women's roster, Sammy, MJF, Proud and Powerful, Ricky Starks, Will Hobbs, Top Flight, The Acclaimed, The Dark Order, Bear Country, Brian Cage, Lance Archer, The Wingmen. They have goddamn COMEDY JOBBERS I'm excited about. You've been missing out on A LOT.

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.
The Acclaimed should be replaced by the old guy who did the Lucha entrance

This is like if Bischoff took Brett, Shawn, Owen and the All Japan roster instead of Hogan, Savage and Lex. And if he booked it really well.

I don’t think I’ve had this much fun as a wrestling fan in my adult life.

My moment of the night was when OC got hyped up and started shouting at Statlander to get back in the ring.

I forget if it was here or elsewhere, but someone said OC and Stat have a very weird sort of romantic chemistry without actually being romantic. So, yeah. :)

That was the best wrestling show I've ever been to. Like nothing comes close, just an amazing night all around. I feel bad for anyone who went to the bathroom during the QT match, because those lines had to be in the dozens with all the people that got up.

Is there a clip of OC firing up for Statlander? Every other awesome moment has a clip but not that one (that I can find, anyway).

Tony went on a little tangent talking about how great Bobby Eaton was and dedicated the PPV to his memory and the memory of all the other wrestlers who've passed away this year. :unsmith:

I assume there's a sort of Godwin's Law for their conversation, in that given long enough they will always end up talking about the same obscure NJPW match from 1997.

I swear AEW isn't actually on our plane of existence. It's wrestling Valhalla. The professional wrestlers' equivalent of Heaven.
It's going to be so sad when BBT is caught eating a puppy on camera or something.

Even though wrestling matches are all about reversals of momentum, there were points where I was like "I don't see how the Lucha Brothers win this." They took so many things just straight up full force. Just two teams doing literally everything they can. Instant classic.
