AEW really gotta get the production gaffes under control. Other than that they're killing it. Can't wait for the number. Which will be winky because TNT on DirecTV died fir 5 minutes of the tag match.

I'm so glad AEW celebrates deathmatch wrestling instead of derisively dismissing it and then signing dudes that blew up because of their hardwork in the genre.

I really should go into a deep death dive and figure out when exactly bloody spectacles really started in wrestling. Most historians point at the Tupelo Concession Stand brawl as the first "hardcore" wrestling but that kind of stuff had been going on since the 60s in isolated areas.

AEW rolling out the diamond studded red carpet for CM Punk is such a wild thing in 2021. I'm still trying to figure out why they're being so coy about it. Because its not because WWE has any ownership over of Punk's likeness or naming. And presales for the show started today.

Like I figured Tony would roll up and be like ok 2nd Rampage show, Chicago aaaaaaaand CM Punk returns to wrestling. But instead it took the crowd a few moments to piece it together.

It'd be such a bonehead move for them to be like ok chicago, are you ready for.......JOHNNY CURTIS. Or those 20 other NXT washouts that are gonna be shitcanned because loser Hunter continues his tour of humiliation.

Agreement. She got a raw deal out of ROH and has been doing every odd job out there to try and get back into TV wrestling again. She even has/had a pocast on Russo's podcast network, which was the only thing worth listening to. Also a babe.

I hope they actually got Punk and its not just plausible deniability because the manchild rears to the fore in Punk or whatever WWE shenanigans.

Don't hurt me on this one, BBTK.

I genuinely hope "So much happening in our world (BOOT)" is a moment that is remembered forever in wrestling.

I'm starting to think that Malaki's world building sessions weren't for the benefit of justifying why WWE should have used him and instead a lorebible for his current incarnation. I think the white suit/black suit thing was one of the twitter snippets. or at least the color coding the clothes idea. Which is pretty brilliant.

TBH i wish AEW had more spooky poo poo I thought it was very sick when Malakai black showed up. I think that Darby Allin should have lost the coffin match and kayfabe died doing it, but only so he could come back as a frankenstein

they're gonna save that for Darby Allin vs Tama Tonga

If they're not gonna crown Hangman at All Out there better be a better match. Because excluding the not so secret surprise debuts lined up Kenny vs Hangman is the biggest match they've got.

And more importantly they don't have open claimants for title contention. Mox is busy with Japan stuff, Jericho is busy and Darby is gonna murder a Chicago Made Punk.

i mean i accept that i have the weirdo opinion here and the bellas are obviously v popular but i just do not get it at all they are like tapioca pudding to me

I wasn't watching but I remember a lot of people talking about Nikki's work. But she was one of the people allowed to call their own matches. Everyone else has to listen to the ref who is just repeating stuff he hears in his headset.

Gallows shouldn’t wrestle but should instead have a 5-10 minute segment on every show to tell a random road story, because he is an incredible story teller.

When Hangman got bumped, it put Hobbs into the top 5 since he was essentially #6 due to losses to everyone ranked ahead of him.

And the specifics were Hangman gives up his title shot and the ranking spot. He's now got five dudes he's gotta go through to get back in the spot. Which should put him ready to challenge at Full Gear.
