No, I think they just got better at simulating crowd noise, seemed like they had more extras than usual this week too.

Guess Ken Shamrock went down the Jacksonville to teach his friend Kip’s kid how to effectively conceal a condom filled with fake blood before simulating internal injuries.

Big agree, even if PNP ultimately goes another direction.

At this point Jericho/Hager feel like an albatross around Sammy and PnP’s necks.

They're selling tickets to a show on November 5th which is a Friday, and I think they referred to it as an "AEW TNT Television Taping" so I think they're doing them separately.

The nice thing about the Friday at 10 slot, is that they can do at least occassional live shows, especially on the west coast.

Could also see a scheme where like Dark and Dynamite are one taping and Rampage/Elevation is another.

TNT has an East feed and a West feed, some providers give you access to both, but some just have whatever’s appropriate to your geographic location.

Like, I live on the west coast, but watch my Hulu recording of the east coast feed at like 7:30 most Wednesdays.

Silver originally said 4-6 weeks, which we’re past but could also see them just keeping him out until after the PPV if that wasn’t when the Dark Order-HFO blowoff is going to happen.

Butcher is entirely out of character, and it's a real joy to listen to him.

He has a dog named Terry Funk :cool: .

I love Butch so much, him and Blade’s ep of Talk is Jericho is so good. He talks about how he sees their gimmick as like the eccentric super henchman the big bad brings in from out of town in a B action movie and I love it.

In one of his last major feuds, santana stabbed a man in the eye with car keys, and then was stabbed in his own eye with keys

In this feud...

He had to stay home for two weeks because of travel or whatever and they tossed out a "He's in jail" line, without even filming him in a lockup or anything.

There's just a level of difference between what the Inner Circle has done to others in the past to make a feud feel hot, and what has been done to them.

Word was they kept Santana out of the last set of tapings due to illness, so I can understand them not filming anything for him.

I could see the Bucks losing it to Mox and Eddie, only because every single champ will be a heel, assuming that Britt beats Shida at the PPV. I have no doubt AEW can pull that off, but it's definitely going to give the show a different feel for a while.

But if it's not them, then I see Best Friends getting it down the line.

Given they’re about to go on tour again, having a gaggle of babyfaces chasing all the titles isn’t the worst thing in the world.

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.

Maybe I just haven't been paying close enough attention, but it's occurred to me that I don't really know why Hangman & Cage are fighting at DoN. It feels like a "these guys both need a PPV match" match.

Cage squashed Hangman after Team Taz jumped him prematch, so Hangman challenged him to a match with an even playing field.

I bought a copy of a Ted Leo show poster at a festival and brought it over to him to sign. He told me he had never seen that poster before and asked where I had gotten it. I told him which screen printer booth I got it from and added, but I’m pretty sure that was his last copy. He signed it “Glad YOU got the last one. - Ted”

Cody’s doing a media call, usual suspects are live tweeting it, only major thing so far is that Rampage will lead to an expansion of the roster (I assume this’ll mainly be the Dark regulars who haven’t gotten #AllElite graphics getting #AllElite graphics).

Anthony Ogogo put Austin Gunn on the shelf for two and a half months because he is an unsafe worker and Tony Khan should feel deep regret for this signing.
