Prokhor Zakharov posted:Great write-up, really condenses a lot of stuff down. Unfortunately there's a discrepancy in that nowhere is it mentioned that CM Punk got his whole drat weiner and nuts crushed up by a Japanese guy's elbow. Does anyone else remember this? How his dick + balls got flattened up and played a cartoon accordion noise?? This after Punk referenced a very old ROH-era prank he pulled during that match. This was in Punk’s second try, and when I still hoped things could work. Oh, Punker The one point I’d like to bring to the class is that the FITE Feed is Undefeated. Watch an episode of Dynamite or Collision on American TV, and the broadcast will go to picture-in-picture; meanwhile, on international feeds and (especially) the FITE dot TV (now Triller) website and app, the action there is still happening with live commentary. It’s not of the “listen to the announcers talk to the truck” variety, but it is much looser - it’s where Taz’s jokes often started, it’s where the announcers more openly (lovingly) roast each other, and Excalibur makes extremely deep lore or wrestling jokes. It’s where plenty of AEW commentary featured on Botchamania in a good way comes from. The other is the now gone but never forgotten AEW Dark YouTube show, which was referred to as the “Taz and Ex Podcast” for a while. It was the pro wrestling equivalent of baseball radio commentary, where sometimes action interrupts stories.

Running basically all of AEW in one location, and without a crowd so having heels/faces on two different sides of the ring, was an inspired choice. It also led to fun moments like a young lower-card MJF and Shawn Spears gambling on matches.
