Its probably been brought up a few times, but I just wanna mention how Rosa is absolutely getting #ALLELITE on like 12:01 AM January 1st 2022. I think she's been guest commentating on Dynamite for like a month now? it definitely feels like two tapings, and she's even in on the Lucha Bros' shop with a meet n greet with merch

Idk man, the bit starting with them running into a room yelling "It felt so good" made me wonder what "it" was and if there was a segment I missed. :shrug:

Yeah, I was figuring the match on Elevation leads into some after match scuffle that reunites Trent and Rocky, or maybe even into a tag match on Dark. But it does seem like a case of BTE referencing something that isn't out yet.

Cezar Bononi with a Go Fund Me to help pay for his wife's cancer treatments. Trying to raise 15k and almost there. I like looking at these because it's heartwarming to see what wrestlers donated :unsmith:

Right now there's Jon Cruz on there for $100, Pretty Peter on for $200, Nemeth on for $100, Lance Archer for $300, Shane Veryzer (Slapjack) for $100, Colt Cabana for $250, Samantha De Martin (Indi Hartwell) for $100, Brennan Williams (Mace) on there for $100, Evil Uno $100, Marvez with $50, Alex Abrahantes with $100. Cody donated $1000. Tony Khan appears to have donated $5000 twice for a total of ten grand.

There are also a number of anonymous $100 and $250 donations that could have been anyone who just didn't want any spotlight.

I could see this Casino Battle Royale be the one that JB finally wins. If you’re going to give someone a title shot off of a BR win, might as well be to catapault someone not already in the title picture, and absent a monster free agent coup showing up as the joker, I have a hard time seeing anyone else in the BR taking it.

Sadly for Jungle Boy, Paul Wight is going to enter in the Joker spot and win by default since everyone knows it is physically impossible to throw him out of the ring.

If anyone’s interested in results of the Thunder Rosa/Kamille “Loser has to stay in NWA” match, it was a 20 min draw and they had to blur the screen for part of the match due to a “wardrobe malfunction”.

Ah, the "rear appearance" that Rosa was advertising

It's a first online date. I can't lead with "I watch wrestling"!

Anytime there's a lull in the conversation, tell her you are putting the date in your world-famous restaurant quality picture in picture and then watch Dynamite on your phone for 3 to 4 minutes. If Dynamite is on a commercial break, loudly sing the theme song instead.

Yeah it felt like it.

it makes sense, Cody's best promos come off as either really authentic or really weird

that one was just too calculated for Cody the face

(edit):

quote:

“I’m a big Batman reader and all the characters I love in Batman are all of the screwed up Robins. Damien’s a killer. Dick is pretty much the only one with his head on his shoulders. Jason, obviously is Red Hood, Tim, etc. They’ve all got problems. And that’s what it’s like being a second-generation wrestler. We’re a bunch of broken toys and this is one of those times where it feels like putting on the cape and cowl. If anyone can do it and do it justice and do it with honor, it could be me. Maybe not full-time and maybe not long-term, but for one night I’ll be the Batman.”

better promo, let your inner nerd out, Cody

this is perfect and he's 1000% right

because the endgame


is that he will lose



:toxx: if cody wins over ogogo probe me for a month, YOU HAVE TO LAY DOWN THIS TIME CODY ITS THE ONLY WAY

even cody is self aware enough that saying "my promo was focus tested to be good" will make people hate him, this is 100% a heel move

I'll be real surprised if Cody doesn't do the job, yeah. Ogogo is one of his personal projects. Like with MJF. There'll be all sorts of overbooking and Factory shenanigans, but this ends up with Cody spitting up blood on the mat.

After doing the prediction thread and thinking about it, "The Inner Circle has to break up" is such a weird stipulation. Like, SCU breaking up was an easy idea; Frankie and CD can't tag team anymore. But presumably if the Inner Circle breaks up, Santana and Ortiz are still a team. Can Jericho and Sammy still team up? Can Jericho still have Hager as his backup?

It's just weird since a faction isn't really a formalized team to begin with for normal matches. What if they all still like each other and want to hang out backstage and have dinner together? Is the stipulation "you can't be friends anymore?" Sorry Chris Jericho, your buddy Hager who prevented you from an assassination attempt seven years ago in Abu Dhabi is getting beaten down in the ring, you can't run in for the save because your faction got disbanded.

History Comes Inside! posted:

Imagine the split Tom Phillips would have to do to accommodate AEW’s more normal-sized roster.

Also I stand by Rarity’s microwave burger opinion, it’s loving 1 in the morning your options are cooking like an rear end in a top hat in the middle of the night or paying too much for a lovely dominos pizza because they’re the only thing open all night. Rustlers is an upgrade over both.

Maybe they'd just let Tom tower over everyone for comedic purposes. Imagine him interviewing Leyla Hirsch and his head isn't even in frame the whole time.

Microwave burgers from the convenience stores around me are a horror, but I'd be a liar if I said I didn't enjoy the occasional 7-11 chilidog or roller taquito

Of course they care as much as any large business would care about its competitors. But if you think anyone from the loving C-suite of WWE would ever pull something like this video you're out of your mind.

Its things like this video that give away the game a bit with AEW in that they thrive on the idea of a war with WWE.
