A fan had a “Brody is invited to the cookout” sign, in Spanish! Thekla got bleeped at least twice. She got a potty mouth!

I've been converting my dvd-r's over and working my way through filling up an 8tb external right now (to go with the two 2TB ones I've already filled) I just watched an excellent Doink compilation. A big part of me wants to skip ahead in the 90s yearbooks to 97 because I know there's a few M-pro matches that are absolutely bonkers. I REALLY want to find the comps that Wes Hatch used to make of east coast indies. Can't remember if those were called Bootscrape or not.

One positive from the limo bit was Nick's, "how will we financially recover from this?!?". Otherwise, in full agreement - great show in terms of whetting the appetite for the weekend. The tag match was my personal highlight, Bandido put on a hell of a display and I'm always gonna be happy to see Brody. Roll on Saturday, I'm pumped for an 8pm kick off. I have bottles of Kinnegar Scraggy Bay in the fridge (the greatest of all IPAs) and will probably order in some BBQ to fit in with the Texas thing.

Hey, the Paul Jones Army/Boogie feud has new interest from those Youtube postings, let's do it! Will, I know you're reading this! (Personally, I say fuck that, give us all the Way of the Blade matches instead) I've always been fine about getting a whole stack of unlabeled DVRs with no packaging in the mail as long as they got the goods. Y'all wanting anything special need to put the brakes on. Just sayin.

I never come over here anymore, but this showed up in my Facebook feed and tickled me, so here you go. The Shavers quote is the best ever.

Didn't this happen a couple times?

Feels more like Aloy in the Horizon games than Sonja for me.

All the faces standing tall on Dynamite doesn't give me a great feeling for their chances on Saturday.

Let me know when you get to the part where Supreme almost dies

Excellent Dynamite. The Mercedes-Toni opener was good. Mercedes sounded pretty wooden opposite Storm - so many cliches. Toni outclasses her in every way on the microphone. Stoked for the match tho. And nice finish to the segment. The Bucks arrival was needlessly awkward. Production sometimes seems lost as to how these things work. Bandido/Brody-Takeshita/Fletcher was so goddamn wonderful. Stoked for Bandido-Takeshita on Friday. Fair Outrunners promo, but great Collision callback. Glad to see this. FTR oughtta be added to that Tag Title match. Stokely was strong on the mic opposite the Patriarchy. Ricochet-Blake Christian was a good solid TV bout. GOA show up in their casuals - AEW has long needed a tasteful fashion coordinator. Dug the goofy Hurt Syndicate promo with Renee coming in and out. Very nice Okada-Omega video package. The MJF-Briscoe talky was alright. Certainly it could've been tighter, but nice to see Mark get this kind of TV time. I liked seeing JetSpeed get one over on the Hurts, but the quiet sound of that crowd suggested it might be a little too late. I like Christian/Wayne joining in to soften the Champions for Saturday. Nice to see MVP take a beating too. Bayne-Aminata-Tekla-Tay was strong. Bayne-Ford are a lameduck pairing. I like them both, but they have no chemistry together whatsoever. Bayne needs a proper mouthpiece/manager. Also, can somebody help Tay with that presentation? Layered thongs is not working. Still, great to see her again. Tekla and Aminata looked good, and I liked seeing them get into it post break. Renee reporting over screaming chaos is fun. Joe-Yuta was another solid TV bout. Yuta needs to add a touch of aggression to his offense. Happy to see Gabe Kidd back. Mox/Claudio/Bucks-Ospreay/Shibata/Hobbs/Hanger was a nice preview of things to come. Ugh, (bro) I did not at all dig the corny limo destruction (bro). Totally lame with awkward cutbacks to the ring. *Fart sound. So much great stuff on this show. Stoked for Thursday Collision. Can we all band together and WILL TNT to move Collision to Thursdays permanently. I love back to back nights.

BTW, way to go damn near everybody outside the ring who couldn't be bothered to catch Ospreay. Real Marty Scurl effort there.

COWBOY SHIT MOTHERFUCKERS! LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My body is so fucking ready for the catharsis of Hangman winning the title again and putting an end to this Moxley reign. There is nobody in wrestling that looks as angry as Hangman. He was giving big Seth Bullock energy. Just a dude ready to blow up on someone at any minute. Holy shit. Is Hangman the Seth Bullock of AEW?!

Yeah, that sounds about right actually.

I bought 2 XPW events from a Suncoast and I felt that's all I needed to see.

Dude, can you imagine hearing about that Bergman thing, being him. That had to feel like vindication for any wrong move he ever thought he made in his entire career, if not entire life.

You guys are talking about Portland and Boogie Woogie Man comps, I'm over here preparing to do a watch through thread of the original XPW run. WE ARE NOT THE SAME (I have bad taste) What, you don't want to hear about a Big Dick Dudley match? What's wrong with you??? (nothing, i don't blame you one bit)

This is the one I'm looking forward to the most. KrisPLettuce has a bunch of Portland TV but I don't have the patience for that.

I like that they pair up Brody with various luchadores (and that him and Bandito already had a secret handshake!) "Jumbo Jet Jones!" And again, Toni with the quote of the night, "Only two things come from Texas, and I'm at least one of them."

Yeah, I’d put crossfire on list of best film noir movies. for those who don’t know, its director, Edward Dmytryk, was one of the Hollywood Ten who went to prison for not cooperating with HUAC, although he did later name names before the committee.

Worth it just for Jim sees Big Mama for the first time.

That would be a great comp for me because I'd love to see how all of that came about. The crowds at the GAB's are molten for Jimmy

I'm trying to look at 'ALL IN' for what would make the BEST story moving forward. I think Hangman beating Mox is best for everyone involved. I think Toni Storm beating Mercedes is best in that feud because Mercedes failing to win that one title is an interesting arc for her. I also understand the counterpoint of Mercedes having the undefeated streak and maybe someone else should be the first to beat her so I guess either result is fine but I'd prefer Toni win. Ospreay and Swerve is likely better if they lose. Swerve may have to help Hangman but think about how crazy it is if Swerve sees Hangman win gold but can't challenge him. Bruv could challenge for the title next year at Wembley The women's gauntlet, I think Athena would be a great choice
