This is 90’s WWF gimmick territory Walter Polo - Walter in a swimming cap. Jim Nastic, Paul Vault, Teddy Long Jump. Track N Field would have to be a tag team. Rich Track and Jerry Field.

GUYS GUYS GUYS GUYS I was taking a bathroom break and ended being there for Mox's walkout!!! Show thoughts coming later

Give Lance Archer his own show and everybody dies.

Gonna take my victory lap now

Well that main event was the shit

You know what, just give Nyla her own show and everybody wins.

Ah Verizon and your shitty TV equipment. Anyway. Luchasaurus and Jungle Boy! The table is in play! The crowd is MOLTEN. That's a lotta Canadians. Uh, Christian. The brain is an ORGAN and not a muscle. U R A LIAR! We go to picture in picture as Luchasaurus starts beating the crud out of Our Boy Jack. I SECRETLY love the Battle Of The Insurance Commercials. We come back and they TEASE the table. SUNSET FLIP THROUGH THE TABLE! Oh no! I learned today from Jordynn Grace on Twitter that a Superplex is one the top three hardest things to take. JB kicks out of a Chokeslam! Crucifix Bomb FOR TWO! Luchasaurus takes the nastiest Poison Rana III have ever seen. Killswitch FOR TWO! Snaretrap but Luchasaurus makes the ropes! Basically a Superplex by a toprope Chokeslam so WE KNOW that had to suck. Luchasaurus wins! That was good. WARJOE comes out and the Hosers go crazy! NICKY BOY! Warlow goes total Steiner with the suplexes. Hey! NICKY BOY! gets in some stuff. BEAUTIFUL Swanton by Wardlow. NICKY BOY doesn't do well after that. The Embassy! Brian Cage is ON THE STICK~! FTR comes out and the hosers go CRAZY! Shawn Speers? Okay, he is Canadian. I thought Dax was talking about Preston Vance, which would have been just as random. The Canadians are into the Acclaimed! Shane Strickland is wrestling at the pinnacle of heat in his career. He is such a great heel. I assume Keith Lee comes out and turns full heel. This is the best Billy Gunn match in AEW. Strickland is fucking great. Tony Nese gets great heat by LOVING THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! I assume it's Nese and Woods against the Acclaimed on Rampage for the intellectual property of scissoring! That'll be good. They HEAT UP the title match in Cincinnati that allows Hangman to go for the Emmy! Jericho and Danielson go at it! Oh man, Jericho IS Bret Hart! We go picture in picture and OUR FACE IN PERIL is Chris Jericho! Danielson wrestles extra heel and it's great. Danielson is fucking awesome making the face while applying the Boston Crab. Jericho with the Stevie Ray Death Valley Driver! Man, this crowd is MOLTEN. DANIEL GARCIA TURNS ON DANIELSON! THE TURN! YES THE TURN! AWESOME! THE CROWD GOES APE PUCKY! So fucking AWESOME! FOUR JILLION STARS! Jamie Hayter and Britt Baker are OVER in Toronto! JESUS CHRIST! Toni Storm is fucking laying it in on Hayter. Shida hits a fucking GNARLY Superplex on Hayter. Hayter is soooooo the Booker T of that tag team. That match was fucking great. I assume Baker is getting the belt soon because she has put over everybody. She looked good tonight for someone who was in with three people who are worlds ahead of her in the ring. Orange Cassidy should have come out to Lay It On The Line by Triumph but JANE is good. TI-CATS SUCK! Pac is AWESOME fucking with OC. JAYZEUS! FALCON ARROW ON THE FLOOR! So Pac is having the best in-ring week in the history of AEW. Pac does the Pac DDT Sell on the floor! And then in the ring! A LOT of stuff happens! WE HAVE A NEW CHAMPION! That was fucking GREAT. AEW RULES THE ENTIRE MOTHERFUCKING WORLD!

That interview sounds like good news, not necessarily for content we want to see, unless it's a Mox & Renee show, but for the partnership in general.

AEW IN CANADA!!!! ROH World Champion Chris Jericho defends against Bryan Danielson I think Danielson will be a huge crowd favourite despite Jericho being Canadian. Winnipeg is not Toronto. "Canada" is not a hometown. Everyone loves Bryan Danielson. Jungle Boy vs. Luchasaurus (w/ Christian Cage) I feel like I should be more excited for this one. It's David vs Goliath with a back-story. We should be champing at the bit for this one. Maybe they turned the dinosaur too often? Hopefully they'll win us all over once they get going in the ring. Swerve Strickland vs. Billy Gunn Yeah, sure, why not? Expect the unexpected. Presumably we'll get a big crowd-popping Acclaimed moment or two here. Interim AEW Women's World Champion Toni Storm & Hikaru Shida vs. Britt Baker & Jamie Hayter Downside: Only one women's match per network show. Upside: Every one of those matches has been awesome recently. Expect that streak to continue here. Looking forward to hearing the Toronto crowd's reaction to Hayter. AEW All-Atlantic Champion PAC defends against Orange Cassidy These guys match up really well and there has been some nice build to this one. Could steal the show.

I meant Spears………

Tenryu teaching 1990 Dibiase how to do a Kawada kick:

This Dynamite ruled. Months ago I said it was going to be a really awesome moment when OC would get a title shot and come out to Jane. It happened. I got goosebumps. And it was probably the best match between OC and PAC. I like how in addition to the Benoit body, PAC has also started incorporating snot rockets onto his opponents.

Murderhawk Mansion, a show about a small mom and pop murder farm where every episode the Archers try to figure out how to monetize their son battering locals to death. Jake Roberts is the breakout Fonzie/Uncle Jesse character who lives in a guest house that looks like the interior of Scatman Crothers’s apartment in The Shining.

‘If Daddy Magic and Cool Hand Ange aren’t booked we riot!’ Dark elevation squash is totally acceptable. We just want a ‘taste’! Ridiculously stoked for elite mat action. Hogan-Warrior wm6 stoked!

Why are we getting preemptively excited about a strawman to swipe at when we could be getting hyped about the obvious plans for a Sammy & Tay reality show?

Have an awesome time @Infinit and @HarryArchieGus !!! Great card on paper, and I agree with @Gordlow that these women's tags have absolutely been killing it lately (for the non-Dark/Elevation watchers, there have been a bunch of good ones on there lately, too. Even the squashes have been fun, and now that Willow finally got a main roster spot, I'm firmly on the 'Sign Trish Adora' train. And for the sake of both gender equality, and indulging the ADHD urge to include massive parentheticals in every post, I'll mention that the next man to be signed ought to be Action Andretti). Main event will be a lot of fun, but I've gotta agree with @The Natural - I don't see Jericho/Danielson topping that last TV match. Both dudes' entire torsos were made of chop meat by the end of that thing. Overall, I'm most looking forward to Pac/OC III stealing the show as usual, and then reading the online reactions of those who are desparately clinging to the idea of pretending they didn't - I guess it's the troll in me.

@Brian Fowler.

So who else is going tonight? I know @HarryArchieGuswill be there. Let's all try and meet up!

I love the Film School theory vids about Jessica Fletcher and Father Dowling both being serial killers. It was also interesting to note that Fletcher's residence of Cabot Cove, Maine had a higher murder rate than Honduras. Speaking of serial killers, my ex-wife and I had the good fortune to see her perform in Sweeney Todd during its Broadway revival. The ovation she got at the end of the performance was deafening. RIP

Although, it was obviously coming, I'm disappointed Daniel Garcia turned on Danielson so quickly. I'm looking forward to see who dethrones Jericho and what other former ROH champions are brought in to bring the honor back to ROH. Homicide, Nigel McGuinness, Austin Aries, Davey Richards, Eddie Edwards, Low Ki? My guess for which former ROH champion dethrones Jericho is a returning, babyface Adam Cole Bay-Bay.

I stand corrected. Apparently Canada is a home town. I can see why Neville vs Fire Ant main evented. Did you know that Jumbo was Off to work! Enjoyed the hell out of Eh EW in Canader!

Ariel Helwani is also Nick Khan's boy, does promotional work for the WWE through their British broadcasters, is buddy-buddy w/ CM Punk and, for anyone who doesn't follow MMA, is one of the thinnest-skinned people in the game. The Punk vs. Elite situation ostensibly blew up because Punk thought they were leaking rumors to Meltzer. We all know that their were meetings within AEW akin to "hey, guys, stop leaking so much shit". Since the double-whammy of the Vince McMahon -> CM Punk drama had the dirtsheets selling more subscriptions than ever and going mad with entitlement and power. And now that they aren't getting the same drip feed of backstage drama they're going knives out on AEW? Or do they just realize baiting arguments gets the most clicks? Meltzer's already the next one up complaining (cause your sources are suspended, dummy). If you are a fan of wrestling please stop participating or paying for this shit.

There already was a Paul Vault, he worked UK indies in the late 90s. His cute female manager turned heel on him, went goth and eventually became Katie Lea Burchill/ Winter/ Katarina Waters.

Murderhawk Mansion sounds more like a gameshow combining a haunted house with American Gladiators. Sign me up. TO WATCH IT, not to participate in it.

Wondering who the first poster here will be that translates that quote as: "THEY'RE CANCELLING AEW!!! THEY WON'T LAST THROUGH 2023!!!!"

Enjoy everybody.

Did Athena really have to handgag Gia Scott when she pinned her? That looked kinda personal. I am all for QT going full DDP and hitting the Diamond Cutter from every angle possible. The thing that has been missing in his offense is the threat of the Diamond Cutter killing you at any time. It is about time that he started using the other variations. Evil emo Kip Sabian is the best Kip Sabian. Toni Storm has set the bar high for working snug this week. The dreaded Hip Attack being the set-up for the Storm Zero seems like stiffness overkill. Emi Sakura could carry a broom to a six-star match.

This is interesting.

Oh yeah, Hangman's promo was the promo of a lifetime. Another one that gave me goosebumps. A younger me would say that guy is my hero. Instead I'll just say that so much of what he spoke of is what I feel. I'm depressed, I'm anxious, the meds aren't working, but I go on to another day. I want Hangman to win so bad now and if he does, I'm guessing MJF "cashes in" and wins the title himself.

If Cole's coming back and Punk's not, then this is definitely the endgame.

GOD DAMMIT, GORDLOW!

Pleased to meet you, my name is Gordi. It was definitely true in the case of Bret Hart, but maybe exclusively with him. It's not like we get massively confused about who to cheer for if Sylvain Granier is fighting Jinder Mahal or something. Bret and Owen were definitely "my guys. Edge, however, was never at any point "my guy." Ron Garvin was briefly one of my guys, but at that point I wasn't aware he was Canadian. John Tenta, Bad News Allen, Chi Chi Cruz, Vance Nevada, Quiet Storm, Abdullah the Butcher, El Phantasmo, and many many others are my guys because I have met them and they were nice to me. That's probably tied into them being Canadian. I am generally the high voter on Gene Kiniski, Don Leo Jonathan, and Archie Gouldie due to nostalgia based on my being Canadian and also old. I like Lance Storm more because he's (western) Canadian. I like Sammy Zayn equally well whether I think of him as Canadian or Syrian. I met him once, in Japan, and he tried to kayfabe that he wasn't el Generico. Test, Petey Williams, Don Callis, Steve Corino, Tyson Dux, Gilles "the Fish" Poisson, the Rougeaus, Tiger Ali Singh, Davey Boy Jr., Shawn Spears, and Rick Bognar are not my guys even though a couple of them are really good. Michael Elgin is definitely not my guy. I like Phil Lafon, The Bollywood Boys, Dino Bravo, Rick Martell, Leo Burke, The Vachons, and Luther more because they are Canadian. I wouldn't go so far as to call them my guys, though. Maybe Luther. Yeah, Luther is my guy. I have no strong opinions either way about Paul Diamond or Ethan Page. 2.0 are my guys, but more because they are amusing than because they are Canadian. Bryan, Ishii, Mad King, MiSu, Shida, Maki Ito, Takumi Iroha, Takeshita, Zeus, Kuuga, Fenix, Bear Boulder, JD Drake, Toa Liona, and Orange are all my guys despite none of them being Canadian and a couple of them not being guys.

Here is another Mad Dog Connelly match for @DEANto belligerently not watch. Feels like a classic Necro Butcher match from the mid 2000s, nasty straight punches, big gnarly bumps and Connelly damn near bleeding to death

Mox is Canadian by marriage...so that tracks!

Porque no los dos? Also, where would DVDVR rank Andy Kaufman in the "best at stalling" rankings? Obviously behind Larry Z., but what is he, top ten at stalling? Top five?

I guess "Wherever" is in the United States judging by the flag by Orange Cassidy.

The first two words of this sentence seem unnecessary.

You could do a show following Eddie Kingston around but it'd be almost completely him surfing twitter to retweet gifs of old Japanese wrestling.

They've been playing up William Regal's affection for Excalibur, I think that show is way more likely sir.

So at the moment, the Giants don't have a punter for Sunday as their current punter, Jamie Gillan is having a visa issue that is preventing him from getting back into the US Per the NFL Network, Gillan, who is Scottish, came to the US on a NATO visa with this father, and that was never changed to a work visa when he entered the NFL. Normally I would say "I can't believe that a team doesn't make sure everything is okay before having to play internationally" but I am positive this is a case where the Giants asked the NFL if it would be a problem and someone in the NFL hand waved it away being all NO BIG DEAL!!!

Dune: Part Two has been moved up two weeks New release date is Nov 3, 2023

Hey him and Cassie live in Florida right? Maybe Terry has something laying around? "There ain't a man in this town who can lick The Fabulous Shawn Spears!"

Kenneth Branagh will return to the role of Hercule Poirot in "A Haunting in Venice." The rest of the cast includes Michelle Yeoh, Jamie Dornan, Tina Fey, Kelly Reilly, Kyle Allen, Camille Cottin, Ali Khan, Riccardo Scamarico, Jude Hill and Emma Laird. Haunting in Venice will be an adaptation of Agatha Christie's novel, Hallowe'en Party, written in 1969. I was kinda hoping they'd do Evil Under the Sun, but it will be good to see one of Christie's lesser-known works given the big screen treatment.

What sick fuck decided that the Was/CHi would be on national tv?

They should put bunny ears on it so it looks like a old console TV.
