HOLY FUCK! HOLY FUCKING FUCK!

Oh shit ! Next Friday on Rampage!

.....I got tickets for Rampage and Full Gear next week..... Holy shit......alone Kingston and Ortiz v Akiyama and Takeshita is worth what I paid

So goddamned happy for Eddie getting to work Akiyama, this has got to make his year. Darius Martin BACK!

This movie caused me to tear up from the Marvel logo and then again at the end This is easily top 3 Marvel Movie. Possibly knocking Winter Soldier off the pedestal I've had it on for so long James

Gordi and I are on a spectrum and I'm on the other side. I was really feeling this episode. If things switch back to a degree, I'll still be ok because there'll be a lot of things I'll continue to like and hey, I'll be happy because my friend is happy. That said, I was digging this one. First and foremost, I was really glad that they pushed Archer vs Starks to Wednesday. The sheer number of matches on this card had me worried. I wasn't sure about Perry's delivery and it wasn't one of Christian's strongest performances. This is starting to go on just a bit too long maybe? I am really jazzed for the idea of a cage match though. A lot of times, AEW cage matches feel like they're all about giving people something to jump off of but this has a chance of being hatefilled and violent, maybe? The sort of breakthrough bloody performance a guy like Perry needs to get to the next level? I had been looking forward to Cage vs Dante as I thought Cage would see all the opportunities present with him, would still work big because he almost had to due to the size advantage, but he probably loves Dante Martin since that's the sort of wrestler he would want to be. The suplex catch on the outside was amazing and they kept pressing things forward a bit more than usual due to the commercial break (which, I appreciate the slow down portion of the house style, but on a show with a bunch of matches, you want some variety). Dante's come a long way and certainly looked like he could hang and even win against a guy as big as Cage which is a testament. Obviously the story here is that Starks will have to work his way through two giants to the finals. The full nelson slam was a great near-fall and Weapon X looked as good as I'd ever seen it. Fun match. Renee reacting to the hat comment was the first real Renee moment in AEW proper (as opposed to 'Ey EW or whatever). More of that. I give no wrestler more free passes than Rush. Things may have been different in ROH but in the two periods of time I watched him regularly (2013-2016 and now) he's just always present, always in the moment, always lives in his matches as much as anyone. This was a crazy back and forth sprint, but hard-hitting and violent and full of ire and venom. He's great at portraying the notion that he's really trying to hurt someone when he hits spots. Yes, I didn't love the pop up bits but I'm more forgiving with Rush just because he comes off as an unhinged maniac instead of a crossfit athlete doing exciting spots. Bandido could hang. He's got a bunch of physical charisma and when he hits big spots, they're not always clean but they always hit, and that little bit of tarnish actually makes his stuff more visceral and exciting. I'm a little sad that Silver didn't get to celebrate with Bandido though they were both celebrating separately. I don't think there's room for Rush vs Silver on the PPV but on the Dynamite after they should do a strap match or something. An Extension Cord match! Page vs Bandido should be an interesting match up. @LogDid you hear on the AEW podcast how the first time Rush went to do that, the entire production crew absolutely freaked out in Aubrey's ear? She told a story about that. Speaking of people getting to be themselves, Nyla did an amazing job pretending to be Jade, which is obviously kind of ridiculous given the size difference. It'd be like 93 Vader feuding with the Hollywood Blonds and doing all of their mannerisms to mock them. But it didn't wear out its welcome in a super packed show and it was hilarious. Nyla's a bit like 00s Regal in that she's so entertaining that she should always have SOME role on the show. Good for Lee Johnson taking the opportunity like that. Definitely the biggest match of his life. Orange did his thing. My favorite thing about Cassidy is how he takes his opponent as he comes and works his shtick into how opponent's reactions. Johnson was going to be hungry and out to prove something, so he kept charging in and trying to make a mark and Cassidy was like the stone in the river, just hanging back and letting Johnson's momentum play against him. I loved how wild everything was with the Best Friends and the Factory out there. It never really took from the match. It just gave some bells and whistles to help it along since Johnson is just coming along. It's crazy they hid the piledriver on the stairs on Danhausen in the commercial break (and Excalibur saying the asshole chants were for Tony!). Speaking of matches that probably don't belong on the PPV, I'd love to see OC/Best Friends/Danhausen/Rocky vs Factory (QT/Solo/Karter/Johnson/Big Nicky Comoroto), because of the chaos possible in a 10 man match. I'm not sure anyone else wants to see that. On the other hand, one of the perfect bits of overlap between Gordi and myself is probably the bit at the end where Cole Karter got hugged and then raised his hand super excited about it. That's the sort of thing that's completely unnecessary, but that's just fun, not just that they decided to hug him but his reaction afterwards which was way more human than him being disgusted or annoyed by it. You almost feel bad when they took him out after that (But he did play fake Sting for money last week so you only feel so bad).

I hope you realise what a statement this is, on a Pro-Wrestling message board.

ok but give me a Keiji Mutoh match on Rampage before he retires please

Wasn't announced on TV, Coach Tony K tweeted it hours later/the next morning.

I really can't get over how great New Day/Usos was. I really think it is the absolute best type of storytelling that the WWE can do beyond any other professional wrestling company. 1) The match itself was great. It felt like it was a match that a 10-year-old could watch and say "that's the best professional wrestling match I've ever seen." There are a lot of other matches better in terms of how wrestling snobs enjoy wrestling, but this was really a match you could show someone who has never watched wrestling as an example of why wrestling is awesome and why they should watch. It was four of the best to ever do it having a tag team match with all the beats that go into a tag match and told simply and coherently. A masterclass in Wrestling 101. 2) I was at the Raw when the New Day broke the record. I remember it being really fun. But I also remember that coming out of nowhere. I have no idea who they beat. I remember Stephanie made them have another match. But it felt like something they fell into and realized (or probably Xavier realized it) a few hours before the show began. So it was a fun moment but one that didn't feel organic. This was organic. They had been pushing this for a few weeks. Maybe they didn't plan on this when The Bloodline angle began, and maybe they had too many Usos/New Day matches earlier this year for this to really feel singularly special. But this did feel really special. You can only do that by tapping into the lore of having decades of storytelling. I think HHH really understands and appreciates that. It's one thing to say this is a special night. It's another thing to show the receipts. And if you can really make a case that these are the best tag teams in WWE history going at it, and one of them has the record the other wants to take, and reference their past history (loved on Raw when The Usos referenced how Kofi-Mania doesn't happen without their Gauntlet Match forefeit), then make it. They put real stakes and had a real history on a match that in a vacuum by itself was a fantastic "Wrestling 101" match. Standing ovation all around.

It sure would be nice if they gave the Eliminator challengers at least one decent size victory (talking TV not Youtube) beforehand. I'm not at all against the AEW tendency to just throw matches out there, often it renders exciting results, but small builds sure would help develop a small degree of intrigue that these Eliminator bouts often fail to present. It's a good point, but it feels far too obvious. Everytime I see that neon chord I'm reminded 'prop'. Defeats the purpose of Roosh's recklessness. I like to think they could make the chord less obvious, maybe put a small sticker on it, but he sells his mindless sadist act so well that I believe he'd constantly be using the wrong chord - hence your good point. Seems they feel that way too.

As someone who has run a ringside camera for live wrestling before, I am very happy to see that they’ve given Rush a “dummy” cable to whip his opponent with. It always made me nervous when he’d use an actual camera cable for that. if I was feuding with Lee Johnson, I’d call him “Big Shart-y”. Wait! That should be @Shartnado’s nickname!

TK: Eddie, here's a token of my appercaiton for doing all those jobs

I love Rush vs Bandido. Honestly thought Rush was gonna win but should've figured Bandido would win considering facing Ethan in the next round. I wanted whoever won this to go all the way, so let's go Bandido it is. Rush is still the man. The refs and security have a conspiracy against going out of their way to purposely prevent Jade from getting her title back. Orange is the best, love his seemingly weekly defenses. Great to see the Beach Break actually get the win for a change, cool way to mix it up. Good stuff coming up, nice to see Darius Martin is back as well as the Bunny plus AR Fox!

I went for New Day Vs The Usos for my vote this week. Just a great tag team match with 2 teams who always have a banger of a match every time they wrestle. Also a great story for the match of The New Day getting frustrated. I hope these two teams have a match once or twice a year and just tear the house down.

I wish for everyone to be patient with the Jungle Boy. It's not an easy job, and it is a slow process, but young Jack is clearly honing his craft. Not a blowaway opening talk segment, but good and Christian is always a pleasure. I like the effort being made here to make this special. JB-SoreAss was terrific here in Toronto, and a Steel Cage match between the two is a potential darkhorse. Luchasaurus has been quietly really strong, and consistently so for awhile now. I like a promo that forecasts a match like Pac v Rey Fenix! Penta too! There seems to be a swell of appreciation for B. Cage lately, and for good reason. I suspect some time away was a great way for Brian to re-evaluate his entire game. He's been strong, and will make for a nice opponent to Rick Starks I assume. Comparatively speaking, a Lance Archer v B. Cage bout sounds 'fairly' great too. So so happy to hear Darius Martin is back in the fold. And further excited for AR Fox getting a well earned spot on TV. Stoked for Fox-Serpentico on Monday or Tuesday? AEW Rampage: The College Years is next and offers Lee Moriarty v Hook, and I very much like it! House of Black needs to give Fuego a ripe beating to win back my love! Or... get beaten handily by a few teams (Brody excluded). I'd like for both Buddy and Malakai to watch and study the tape of Bill Alfonso v Beulah McGillicutty in ECW, and then offer up a similar Fonzie type loss to either Trent Baretta or Frankie Kazarian. Or how bout FUEGO! Roosh v Bandido was exciting to look forward to here. It would be great to have this type of Workers bout every Saturday Morning (see Friday) for potential pre-show word of mouth anticipation and excitment. I wish they had let these two Luchadores go a little longer, and dropped another segment (*breathe Tony Khan). I think it's all that it needed. Not entirely a clean bout here, but clean enough to be fine entertainment. I'm okay with a protected finish. Mostly because it tells me they have high hopes for both. Roosh is a wonderful heel, and I have high ceiling hopes for Bandido. He's got some prior business to expect from Chavo I presume? I don't think the Jake Hager-Claudio-Renee segment was entirely successful, but I liked it. The Nyla Rose-Jade angle hasn't been great storytelling, but it's a solid try. It's also clear what a great babyface Jade is becoming. Speaking of great babyfaces, Cassidy continues to be the recognized symbol of excellence in sports entertainment. And AEW continues to grind out these fun shows!

Ha, right!?! I often wonder who is responsible for that legacy of poor sound effects? Dunn, yeah? WWE commentary doesn't distract me, in fact it does what it's suppose to - adds to the action. No shade to Excalibur who is fine on play by play, but Taz is so hit and miss for me, and his insistence on comedy during the commercial breaks takes me right out. So too Schiavone with his unnecessary thoughts and oversells. I feel the need to add that Schiavone is great with the Interviews. Tay Melo was so terrific and the 'secret star'. Tay has really gotten comfortable in the current role, and seemt to get better and better every week. Excellent ejection spot.

Blink and you’ll miss it. At the start of the match. OC tells Bryce with a hands pushing forward gesture to “Get him back”. Shotty was in his corner all the way across the ring. Good match too. Putting OC in the last match in a long night of tv is a smart choice. Character is over and the matches lately have delivered. I’d hang around after Dynamite to see it. A much better presentation for Cage here against Dante. But as great as this was. This is what Cage should be doing if he were just debuting. Not when he has years of mileage in the company behind him. Darius is back! Great news. That comeback in the battle royal he did after the last injury go-around really convinced me on him. The sheer cash print catsuit should be Jades default outfit on the video game. (Fucking hurry up with that shit already). Bandido kinda rules.

The smaller tennis venue (the Chargers played in the larger venue before SoFi opened IIRC) at what use to be Home Depot Center has been the home of a lot of the best boxing bouts in the last 15 years. Part of the reason it's been used so much by boxing promoters is those very reasons you stated. Also doesn't hurt that many of those fights included prominent Mexican and Mexican-American boxers. It's basically become what the fabolous Forum was in the first half of the 1990s and before that the Olympic Auditorium in the middle of the 20th century. I mean they tried to do that with Staples Center back when it first opened (the first major event was De La Hoya vs. Mosley I, which was huge at the time), but it never had the allure of those other venues.

It is an eliminator, they said if she won then she would get the first shot after Full Gear. As far as her last significant win, outside of Dark, I think she's only ever won one singles match on TV, over Tay Conti on one of the first Rampages last year. Her last match on Dynamite was also vs. Toni back in March for the Owen cup.

That was a long way from being my favourite episode of Rampage, even though there was a lot of good action and a lot of wrestlers I like. It still feels to me like they are leaning hard into a lot of WWE-lite stuff, like show-opening promos and schmozz finishes and (on Dynamite this week) worky-shooty feuds based on who is representing the company or whatever, and catchphrases and so on... And (on Rampage) spooky ooky videos. All that said, I still enjoyed watching AEW this week. It's moving away from some of the things I like the best (like mostly clean finishes and a more indie vibe) but it's still a lot of good wrestling. And they are really pushing some of the younger wrestlers. And they are giving us Kingston & Ortiz vs Akiyama & Takeshita! They are still taking care of us crazy hardcore fans. And our favourite wrestlers. As long as they keep doing that, Jeff Jarrett obliquely referencing WWE in his promos and Saraya/DMD being based on "I've been here longer!" " Oh yeah? Well... I have been wrestling longer! " or whatever and too much interference and no Miro and Kingston never winning the big one and etc etc are gonna get me rolling my eyes and pining for the good old days of a few months ago... BUT I'm still all Homer with the giant sub in my feelings for AEW. I'm impressed that Orange and Shotty outperformed Roosh and Ban Dido this week! At least in my opinion. I thought it was neato how Bandido didn't cheato but still handed a defeato to Rush, who is evil indeedo. My younger daughter's name is Maia, which I only just realised stands for: Make AEW indie again!

Oh. Oh my dear lord. That alone makes up for so much of this last year. And it's going to be glorious.

Sorry I'm a little late. One of the kittens is awake, walked across my keyboard and it actually posted what I was typing EARLY so I had to delete it. Little scamp! Anyway, I was opining about how Jungle Boy needs to be feuding with Rush and Bandido already. I stated that Brian Cage is underrated. Cage sets up a cool Suplex on the floor spot and then Maude the Kitten walked across my keyboard. I dig Cage because he has a pretty great looking heel offense, and he can sell all the highflying spectacularness of Dante Martin. Martin lays in the elbows to Cage's noggin! Oh man, Dante Martin's Springboard Splash to the floor is so spectacular. Fun nearfall by Cage on a Full Nelson Flatliner! WEAPON X for the win! That was good. I'm digging this little run by Brian Cage. Whoa! Lee Moriarty versus Hook will be good. HOUSE OF BLACK! HOUSE OF BLACK! HOUSE OF BLACK! RUSH! BANDIDO! YESSSSS! RUSH IS SO FUCKING AWESOME! Rush will beat the shit out of folks. I remember when Rush first debuted on EMLL TV and he was a pretty boy technico and everybody HATED him. So he just digested the hate and became one of the greatest rudos ever. He is everything great about Lucha Libre. OH MAN! I am so excited about the tomorrow's International Feed as they are beating the crap out of each other in picture in picture. Bandido hits a zillion highspots in the tiny screen! The Boston crowd is awesome. Rush and Bandido MILK IT FOR ALL THE HEAT THEY CAN GET! John Silver saves Bandido's mask! Bandido gets the flash pin! That was fun. A little sloppy in parts but I don't give a fuck. This is the wrestling I want to see. WRESTLE 57 MORE TIMES ON MY TV! Nyla is so fucking great, making fun of Jade Cargill's in ring mannerisms. I loved that. Big Shotty Lee Johnson! Does his push begin now? JANE! I hope this leads to Big Shotty versus Danhausen feuding like Tommy Rich versus Raging Bull Manny Fernandez. Cole Karter distracts Cassidy and allows Big Shotty to go on offense. NICKY BOY! HE CHEATS! QT PILEDRIVES DANHAUSEN ON THE STEEL STEPS! I figured this match would involve the myriad of people accompanying both combatants. Big Shotty beats on Cassidy as we wait for the commercials to end. So Boston crowds are the best crowds. NICKY BOY drives CHUCK TAYLOR INTO THE RINGPOST! BLUE THUNDER BOMB BY BIG SHOTTY! NICKY BOY GETS SPEARED BY TRENT! CHUCK HITS A TOPE CON HILO! BEACH BREAK! That is how you book a match ten ways to Sunday. That was a hoot. Orange Cassidy is a miracle worker. I am very excited for the Danhausen versus the Factory feud. AEW RULES THE MOTHERFUCKING WORLD.

Oh man, we got some competition this week. Danielson/Sammy or Usos/New Day? Or the Axiom/ JD McDonagh BANGER~! Or the hellishly stiff Gisele Shaw/ Jordynn Grace match from IMPACT! You had the ingenious Zack Sabre Jr/Evil match. You had great untraditional matches like Athena versus Abby Jane and Athena versus Diamante. On the fringe, Angelina loved punched Ella Envy right in the face, Penelope Pink and Saraha Spars had the best match in the new WOW so far and KiLynn King and Kamille made a great tagteam. Man, there was a lot of Lucha Libre- with this week once again being heavy in the ladies' divisions, especially with the tournament in IWRG. It was very hard to make the cuts this week. Sorry, Kip Sabian. Hell, I had to cut a Wheeler Yuta/Claudio match. There was a LOT of good wrestling this week. ----------------------- THE CUT LIST: Magia Blanca/ Magnus/ Rugido vs Esfinge/ Fugaz/ Star Black- CMLL; Lady Shani vs Bengalee- IWRG; Invictus Khash vs Willie Mack- CWFH; Alex Reynolds vs Kip Sabian- AEW Elevation; Marcus Cross vs Kip Sabian- AEW DARK; Claudio Castagnoli/ Wheeler Yuta vs Cezar Bononi/ Ryan Nemeth- AEW DARK; Kevin Martenson vs Big Hoss- CWFH; Averno /El Soberano Jr /Euforia vs Gran Guerrero/ Mistico/ Volador Jr- CMLL

Kind of hope this is all trap for Hazuki and Natsu rejoins. Whatever happens it is nice to see Natsu working with Stardom again.

I am the biggest proponent in the world of working smarter and not harder but part of that is not saying it out loud.

Saraya On Being Inspired By Stone Cold’s WrestleMania Return, Her Health Upon Joining AEW

I wonder where the Meat Hole is. Perhaps Wheeler Yuta could show us? Thanks. Wheeler Yuta!

I watched every one of those announcements, how THE FUCK did I miss THAT one?!

Que?!?! I didn't catch THAT being announced last night. This was a fun, scorry little Rampage that kept up a frenetic pace. Open was a fine sprint with Cage only having the edge because of his BEEF. Jade's money suit is absolutely fucking ridiculous and ugly as shit. Rush is a guy that Bret Hart would call both "a meat chopper" and "a formula man". He never does anything different, always beats the shit out of his opponent, and never sells unless forced to... but it works every time. Flamita is a better rival for Bandido than Rush but I can still watch them play that match back again just to see if they manage anything different. That sounds like backhanded praise but hey. And of course the Orange match was great. Him jumping right into the tech work before backing off Lee for the taunt was a fantastic start. It's just fun watching what different shit he throws into his performances with different people. When you can pull a MOTY candidate out of Will Ospreay, well you got the talent. And I loved the finish with the interference backfiring too. It's too back Chuckie T. didn't get to say the S-word though...

November 26th STARDOM in SHOWCASE Vol.3 Hazuki and Natsu Sumire vs Natsuko Tora and Saki Kashima

I'm just imagining how the people who had tickets to this week's Rampage feel. One week earlier and they would've had Shibata, one week later and they would've had Akiyama.

Life's been crazy so I haven't watched shit live in forever, but seeing the Akiyama announcement has me THERE next week! Plus AR Fox getting a match on Dynamite teaming with Dante and a returning Darius Martin? Fuck yeah!

First, they took Razerwyng's exact look and signature poses, gave them to A-Kid and called him Axiom. Then they took "The Final Girl" Ziggy Haim's nickname and gave it to The Rock's daughter. Then they turned Sarah Logan into a second rate Maga the Imposter? Once is possibly a coincidence. Three times in a couple of months is a pattern.

It's great that Akiyama is appearing on Rampage. I would have bought the PPV for it.

TK said he was working on it earlier in the year, and he actually was able to come through for Eddie! That's great!

Eddie Kingston and Ortiz vs. Jun Akiyama and Kenosuke Takeshita. Next week on Rampage. Fuuuuuuuuuck yes.

@DEANJust put me down as a vote for New Day vs. Usos in the next poll. That match fucking ruled. They didn't just tear the house down, they told the story of the New Day trying to keep their record against their number one rivals, who are now on top of the world. It was perfect storytelling in every way, physical and psychological. Like, I knew the Usos were gonna win, but they made me forget about that and more importantly, they made the live crowd believe that New Day we're going to pull it out. I can't praise the match enough. They're the Rock n Rolls/ Midnights of modern wrestling.

Rush some how appears to be on the gas yet has a terrible physique

I've been to that venue for a Bernie Sanders rally. It would be excellent for wrestling, great sightlines and small enough for an intimate vibe

THIS WAS A GREAT EPISODE IF YOU LOVE LARGE MEN IN COMICAL PURPLE HATS!!(seriously is making Jake Hager interesting Jericho's best ever carry job?) Best Brian Cage match was v Darby for the TNT title, this was a close number two. Mr. GMSi makes a surprisingly competent base for smaller flyers. I don't know about him winning cause what's next for him in the tourny that's compelling? Are they trying to run back v Starkman Jones? cause Pretty Ricky should really be above Cage now. I might be in the minority but I did not care for Rush v Bandito at all. Felt like a sloppy botch fest. I am off the El Toro Blanco bandwagon. Why is Bunny getting a title shot? when was the last time she had a significant win? Why a title shot and not an eliminator match? Main was fun, always enjoy Big Shotty and OC is usually fun. Bit of a forgone conclusion and a bit of a choice having the factory in a main event and not one on the youtube shows

Stoked for the main event. I know that armchair analyst will say that this is MMA and not kickboxing, but how confident is Izzy really going into a title defense against a man that probably has his number? The last time he stepped into the ring with this man, he was knocked cold in the third. I don't give a fuck who you are and how good you think you are, you never forget the guys that put you to sleep.

Dante deserves a real push already, but if he can’t have that then give me Dante-Bandido and more Dante-Rush and Dante-Yuta. Nyla clowning on Jade was great, right down to almost breaking her opponent’s face with the Jaded. OC-Shotty is a YouTube main event, not a Rampage main event. This card was super weak. Seriously, look at the faces in the front row at the end, they are not happy, not mad, just meh. The Boston crowd and I agree that the JB-Christian-Lucha feud is tired as shit and needs to wrap up. Happy for the return of Top Flight, and I guess happy for AR Fox to get to be on TV to eat a pin and further the Death Triangle dissension angle. Another group I’m over. Speaking of, fucking House of Black. It’s a good thing that, outside of tonight, they still produce mostly excellent to classic matches, because AEW is burning my goodwill in a lot of other ways.

Straight up Usos vs. New Day was an all-timer. Absolutely spectacular storytelling from four of the best to ever do it. Match of the Decade level work.

Huge discovery! Equalizer mode: KARAOKE! Drops out commentary to a squeak level but retains the audience and action. Great to see the Gunns with a strong showing in the opener. I'd love more FTR v Swerve and Big Keith! But I’ll take an FTR v Gunns go-around. Amusingly bad spot in the opener with Caster clearly and poorly getting into a position of being leaned over in place for Big Keith to powerbomb Bowens on him. Ugh! The MJF promo was fucking excellent! Dig the podcast setting - I’m surprised I haven’t seen that before, or don't recall. Ethan Page v Eddie Kingston bout was on point. Eddie seemed to be making Page at every step – true Kingston fans will celebrate him in loss here. Page’s version of the Razor’s Edge has always looked brutal, and near deadly here. That was a highlight finish - thank you Eddie! Roosh Bag was a fun finish to this odd Dark Order/Jose-Rush promo. The 'compelling' 10-Rush/Jose courting angle is ready to wrapped up aond concluded. I’m a Trustbuster fan, but didn’t find the Ari Davari-Wardlow offer compelling television in the least. I loved Joe whacking big Wardy up side the head. Hobbs being out there felt like it stole a bit of thunder from the turn. Not that I don’t love seeing big Puh-Puh-Puh-Powerhouse! I’ll take a 3 way, I guess. Britt Baker was fucking awesome in that talk segment. I kinda forgot how capable the Doctor is on the mic. I feel the same Doc! I’ve never seen Saraya wrestle and I have some doubts. Nonetheless, I find myself interested in a Saraya-Baker match at the PPV. I wish for safety. Trent and Jay Lethal are both so consistently great! Might as well run that back with Rappongi/Best Friends v Jarrett/Lethal, yeah? Dutt’s enthusiasm and great introduction for Jarrett were the highlights of the post match. I'm having a good time with the Last Outlaw. I hope the crowd’s love for the Jungle Boy is never-ending. Big Jack’s okay in my books! Oh jeez, Renee is so great. Moxley too. Both he and MJF talked some ppl into the next PPV. I love a Jamie Hayter showcase! More of these please! The fact that somebody wants Alex Marvez on TV, at his poor acting level and ability, seems to suggest he's a really great guy behind the scenes. I said Goddamn-Goddamn Danielson-Guevara was just wonderful! As Dean mentioned the commercial break heeling by Guevera was outstanding. And the Best heat of the night. What a brutal piece of business there. Art! AEfuckinDUB delivering to my delight!

I met Fetterman back when he was the Mayor of Braddock, the dude is legit 6'8" and had that "works the local independents and turned down WWE developmental at one point since he didn't want to move to Memphis or Louisville" look.
