Jesus, what a Dynamite and what a loving news day today! Now they just need to sign King, Fuego, and Diamante and all will be right with the wrestling universe.

Something I noticed watching Nick Gage's tron: it's the closest we'll ever get to having Effy on AEW.

I know he doesn't want to sign anywhere big but would be up for coming in as a one-shot?

I sure hope so but it feels like a real longshot.

speaking of Dark are Bear Country still around or did one get injured putting an end to that run?

Bronson has had a number of singles outings recently, they're absolutely still a thing but probably just off-cycle right now.

Edit:


I have no particular feelings about CM Punk and am actively ambivalent towards the Bulls (having grown up in Chicago during their unstoppable reign as a non-basketball fan meant they were dull because of their dominance) but if Punk came out to this I would pop so hard I'd get a nosebleed.

It's pretty good but I think Cody would rankle at someone having a song with more leadup than his.

Vastly inferior to Jesus Jones :colbert:

How about this, the Elite take out Silver and Reynolds backstage before the match but since it's "Elite vs Dark Order" they can put in two other members, who don't come out until the finish when CM Punk and Daniel Bryan both come out at the same time as No 6 and No 7, hit their finishers on Kenny and both pin him simultaneously.

Colt is Number 6 though it's never been said.

I know money and drawing power will most likely override this, but I really wish Coward Tony would get the okay from Colt when it comes to signing Punk. That would be a nice gesture.

It wouldn't surprise me if they'd talked about it at least, TK seems the type to engage his people openly.

Finally decided that since I could not get All Out tickets (and will not shell out secondary market prices) that I will treat myself to both the Dynamite and Rampage tapings that week and ended up being able to get the same seat for both. It delights me.

I’m so excited for Charlotte but honestly even being vaccinated I’m a little worried about being in a giant room full or people. I guess I’ll probably still wear a mask.

I'm probably going to stay masked at the Chicago tapings even though our vaccination rates here are decent, I'm just not interested in taking a risk in such a big crowd.

I'm thinking the same at this point. Thankfully I don't wear my glasses to wrestling (I'm nearsighted, so wrestling is fine) so no worries about fogging.

Do you get fogging even when it's warm out? I only tend to get fogged up around 50 degrees or so.

How did he ruin Warhorse's match?

Not the match but he 100% ruined WARHORSE's appearance because it's the one outside opponent that got no post-match shine from Cody, instead they had Silver and Reynolds run in for no loving reason just so what's his nuts could make the save.

It was definitely not a great match, and not representative of WARHORSE's quality, he and Cody never really got started because Cody was in cocky dickhead mode and kept leaving the ring and poo poo. I'm not saying that WARHORSE is at the same level of Ricky Starks or Eddie, but I am saying that he's good--yea indeed he rules rear end--and deserved a fairer shake than he got.

Lid posted:

in context WARHORSE looked even worse as the week before was Eddie Kingston who got to do that promo and then had a barn burner with Cody.

If he had even been given a little promo time it would have been better, he's no an Eddie-style promo but he's got a great, intense, weird energy that brings a lot to the character.

Also, goddamn he throws a pretty top-rope elbow drop.

yo running united center would be incredible if they're actually announcing that im there

I think cm punk should embrace the wcw nature of aew by coming out to a sound alike of "cult of personality" with no vocals except for clips of punk saying "what do my knuckles say?" and uhhh "best in the world" or whatever

AEW should never run an event in Chicago that is not either A) actually in Chicago or B) CTA accessible (please TK don't make me have to borrow a car anymore to come to tapings.)

And Thunder Rosa.

Edit: Holy poo poo, Colt caught delta variant COVID and that's why he's been out. Picked it up at an indie show even though he's been vaccinated since February.

I mean, he's gotta be relatively ok since he just dropped that as the intro to this week's Wrestling Anonymous and sounds fine (definitely pissed at whoever was asymptomatic at a show.) Still, gently caress.

what if they were also vaccinated?

Improbably terrible luck? I thought it was pretty well established that vaccinated aren't likely to spread the virus, though maybe Delta is an exception?
