I think Blade looked really good after abandoning the peroxide and going full bald. I guess Miro can have the blond buzzcut again if he wants it.

They can afford to put it off a little longer. There's still plenty of feuds left for Kenny.

I kinda worry for Kenny, I think he may need some R&R pretty badly to avoid an early retirement. Like there's lots of narratives that would be fun but he seems to be tearing himself apart out there.

MJeff posted:

So what's the timetable on Ricky Starks, cause he's obviously not taking bumps, but he's gettin' decently physical out there for a guy with a neck injury.

I believe we were talking 3 months minimum when it happened. Which seems astoundingly short, but he did both finish the match and tweeted "i'm fine guys, I do yoga" afterwards before finding out he'd fractured it so maybe it's the nice sort of broken neck.

Also I saw someone mention this look on Hangman's face after his match last night and it's loving perfect.

if you add a ".mp4" to the end it appears inline. I had to scour smarxist's posts to find that out.

BPJ is really good at selling. I'd be surprised if he wasn't playing to his strengths instead of being sabotaged by bookers. He takes a beating even during Dark matches, and Dark is a place where Brian Cage and Fenix have long competitive matches against Chandler Hopkins and Diamanté's brother whose name I forget.

huh. Pillman started later than I thought. I thought he was a lifer who started as a kid.

His dad died young and he had an abusive stepfather who preferred him to stay in his room, according to his interview on Dark Side of the Ring.

Yeah, Tony Kahn isn't about breaking up tag teams, but forming them.

Another important thing from Elevation: Julia! has new gear and it incorporates a huge fuckoff bright-pink bow

A lot of strong matches, but stands outs to me were Wheeler Yuta v. Karl Anderson, KiLynn King v. Riho, The Blade v. Chuck Taylor, The Dark Order v. the HFO, and Penta and Eddie v. TH2. But all of the matches were either very good, or very short.

It’s very funny to me that they used Lindsay Snow of all people as a seat filler for Elevation and the first 5 minutes of Dynamite. Is that Ashley D’Amboise in that screen shot too doing the same job?

A lot of the seats facing the hard-cam had wrestlers warming them. Presumably the ticket-holder didn't feel like showing up two hours early to watch a recording of (a very good) Elevation. Lindsay's been a regular in the wrestle-crowd for both Darks and Dynamites the past few months, but it's a less noticeable position.

Penguin Patrol posted:

Yeah. Dani Jordyn, Tesha Price, and probably some others I can't remember were up there too

Dillon McQueen, Robyn Renegade and her sister. Over half of the seats had a wrestler in, it was basically Where's Wally.

All this talk about how AEW lets wrestlers develop their own character and the office is really receptive to ideas and they won't let Sammy bump off a helicopter.
Also, Holidead has been conspicuous by her absence in Dark, given how many MPW wrestlers have come through there - hopefully she'll get to do stuff, Nyla's been on a roll squashing people.
This claims to be the full card: the captain Shawn Dean returns to action, JD Drake and Kaz beating the hell out of each other, and another Indian wrestler.

I totally bought that Eddie wanted to be the world's champion. Who wouldn't want to, it's kinda the point.

I'm just glad Tall Paul no longer calls people ring generals on Elevation.

It's really surprising to me the legs Eddie's speech has. He was saying "the wrestling we do is better than the wrestling they do." That's what you're supposed to say! Like, Taz calling them sloppy over Covid, I could see getting mad about, but this?

We will never find out as Vickie can't schedule any interview time and keeps trying to sneak it out between entrances.

Wasn't the story that Dutt quit/asked for his release, instead of being let go? If so, then maybe he was sick of the backstage of the WWE shows.

Having just googled him because I didn't recognize the name, that is the story (according to Fightful so probably true). He could also have noticed the large number of people getting sacked and decided to jump before he was pushed.
