On the plus side, that and the recent tag against the Gunns (without Billy and Jay) have been the best Acclaimed looked in a year+.

Can you imagine if Ospreay wins at DoN and we have him along with Swerve, Okada and Cope as champions? Talk about a powermove.

I'd like to see a segment in which the four of them are standing in the ring, and a completely oblivious Jericho tries to insert himself into the conversation.

Yeah, he mentioned on the Jericho podcast he was one of the people he'd love to wrestle on the roster. Would be neat!

Yeah, it rocked, though the ending was a bit abrupt. It makes me happy that Zack Gibson was somehow able to become a heat magnet even in the US so I hope they're brought back. It probably helps that I was watching with some friends who were having a great time all night and all these new wrestlers they didn't know.

i would love if the continental title remained as like, either the champ has to enter to defend it or is the final boss for the winner to face or something like that. c2 has gotta have some sort of prize continuity like that

e: the latter makes more sense for an in-kayfabe "why would wrestlers want this title" well if they win they get to face a guy who just got battered for 4 weeks straight for a defense

A friend of mine has a rat named jorts. I get a text today "WHAT HAPPENED TO JORTS?" as I am driving. I have not seen her in weeks. Voice text back "What?" and she sends a picture message which I can't see because I am a responsible driver.

Two hours later I see she has texted me a screenshot of a wrestling news aggregator (that has me blocked) about Darby's bus accident. I then remember that when I took her to Big Bu$iness she started calling Darby jorts. The rat is fine.

I feel like there needs to be some kind of reason for someone to want the continental crown championship as access to the tournament

If the champ is the only person guaranteed a slot, I feel like the story that naturally extends out of that is someone needing to win the continental championship to get into the tournament

I am unsure how or why

Since the Continental title is brought up, I just want to say the ending of the that tournament between Moxely and Kingstone is still one of the best endings I can recall. Just both of them punching the gently caress out of each other, Kingstone spinning back fist out of nowhere, and the 3 count happens before you even register it happened.

I loving love that ending.

Last week on Dynamite Callis was asked about recruiting for the family and he said they’re always recruiting. As soon as Trent pulled out that screwdriver in the parking lot fight I thought about Callis. The screwdriver has been too deeply coded as a Callis weapon. Callis being shown watching afterward brought it all home.
The new Callis Family: Hobbs, Trent, Takeshita and a stagehand who was only adjusting something on the ring.

Man I can't help but think they used that match to write out Chuck altogether

He's either done as a wrestler or he's going to come back with a vengeance and cost Trent some big match,

I'm also very intrigued by what's going on with Statlander. They've dropped just enough teases that maybe she sees where Trent is coming from, plus it feels like she might also be involved in the attacks on Willow and Mercedes.

Statlander in the Callis Family could be interesting, too.

If this was Chuck going out for a while to heal I'll miss him very much but talk about going out with a bang. He finished his story and had a great match to put over a friend. Or, a former best friend :cry:

It's really cool if nothing else that of all people I got to see Chuckie T be himself on national TV for a bit. It's nice.

I think it'd be cool if Chuck decided to go heel out of this. Like, a bit after DoN United Empire splits off from Don Callis Family, so TRENT? joins them, probably during a blow off tag match between Ospreay and Kyle vs Takeshita and Hobbs. Around the same time Statlander is about to turn heel on Willow(?) but it's not quite there yet. Not sure yet what the motivation would be, but Callis would start targeting Orange Cassidy, and maybe they'd set up an impromptu trios match, like not previously advertised but after a segment they immediately go into a match and it's OC, Rocky, Chuck vs Takeshita, Hobbs, TRENT? except the match is like 3 minutes of OC selling to set up the Chuckie hot tag but then Chuckie and Rocky beat the poo poo out of OC and it's a no contest when chairs get involved and all 5 men lay down OC.

Rocky wouldn't be a full time member, but he'd be revealed to be the contact that got Callis the title shot for Hobbs. Statlander would turn as well and say she's proud of her best friends. The STP and Jericho feud would be done by then so Shibata and HOOK are free for Blood and Guts:
Don Callis Family (Takeshita, Hobbs, TRENT?, Chuckie, and either Rocky or a young boy) vs OC's Nameless Faction (OC, HOOK, Shibata, Bandido [he's only out a couple more months right?] and, oh let's say... Daniel Garcia)
