"Where do you think Kojima's top rope elbow to CM Punk's nuts rates in the history of ball smashes?"

"Well, um, big question. But, to me, Kojima's effort was the finest ball smash of them all. Certainly the most popular great ball smash of all time. The most beloved. His command of the air, the most magnificent. He transformed the pain of CM Punk's tormented balls into ecstatic beauty. Pain is easy to portray, but to use your passion and pain to portray the ecstasy and joy and magnificence of CM Punk's balls being smashed, no one had ever done it before. Perhaps no one ever will again. To my mind, that strange, wild man who roamed the arenas of Japan was not only the world's greatest ball smashers, but one of the greatest breadmen who ever lived."

The Chris Jericho in Canada thing was a huge watershed moment for me while listening because it didn't even cross my mind even as I watched Collision weekly, but yeah, they were doing what was originally a house show circuit turned TV taping in Canada, why the hell weren't they using Jericho? He and Punk had tons of history to work with! A proven ratings draw at that! Unbelievable!


Is this the "CM Punk is not mad" episode or some other? I wanna start right on this poo poo.

Mox vs Hobbs will be the first match for the IWGP title on American TV since Nov 9, 1998, when champion Scott Norton defeated Lodi to defend the historic title. The week before, he'd managed to fend off Van Hammer. The two matches together were less than 3 minutes. Will Hobbs and Mox get more?

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

I'm kind of expecting Nigel to turn up one show and be like "Bryan Danielson I have been watching your matches from commentary for over a year, now I know how to counter everything you do and am going to retire you"

Speaking of WCW, as this is the 238th Dynamite, the 238th Nitro was the "Did you forget your scissors?" episode, which only had five matches. The longest match was six minutes.

Erin M. Fiasco posted:

I even remember thinking at the time it was weird that Cole & MJF just kinda lost to FTR on Collision, but I think at the time I rationalized it as FTR being an established team and that it would lead to the obvious MJF/Cole feud - it kinda did, but y'know. I understand giving Better Than You Bay Bay poo poo, but by the time of All In it was an undeniably hot program!

CM Punk really is somehow the closest AEW got to "being WCW" in so many really fascinating ways.

I don't even think that MJF and Cole losing that match was a bad plot beat in isolation. AEW is a company that cares about tag teams, so the tag team specialists should go over the team that's two cool guys who are still figuring things out. But in retrospect no one involved was interested in that story beat (which probably had something to do with Punk being a weird dickhead), so the whole thing was a storyline dead end and it just contributed to Collision feeling like a disconnected b-show.

It’s genuinely a three-way tie as the best tag match of all time (others being Misawa/Kobashi vs Kawada/Taue and Bucks vs Lucha Bros in the cage)

It's sitting at #10 across all promotions which is still hella good considering the other matches in the top list.



edit-- man NJPW really kicks rear end huh

Omega, Okada, Ibushi, Tanahashi and Naito, when firing on all cylinders, are up there with anyone in the history of wrestling.

My lukewarm take is I actually like Omega/Naito in the 2017 G1 better than any of the Omega/Okada matches except maybe the 4th.

All of this is accurate until BCG vs Assclaimed is 100% done and dusted, as it seems to be. Then give them some trios with substance.

I genuinely wish Tony had had the balls to turn the Acclaimed if he's not gonna split them up. Letting BCG be faces could've been fun, and it would've been something to freshen up the Acclaimed's act.
