Rampage closing the show with 3 squandered nXt champions in the ring wasn't lost on me. HHH was throwing things somewhere during that segment.

She cuts fine promos sometimes but she's only going to be as good as the material she's given. She doesn't have to cut great promos because she has a star presence and she's one of the best wrestlers on the roster. The crowd is going to be into what she's doing regardless.
On what roster? The roster she’s on now? Lolololololololololololol.
Thanks. I needed that.

Every second of that ruled ass. Because the Bucks were onscreen for zero seconds.
I figure Cassidy went over so Moxley can obliterate him in the semis.

So you’re telling me you didn’t hear her dogshit promo? I should try that….

I don't think Ace is involved in the booking.
I know there were rumblingz that the women’s roster were concerned because Johnny was back and he has some influence over the direction of that division. Who really knows, though…

Sasha Banks is such an abysmal promo. I don’t think I’ve ever heard her come off as anything but forced. Ugh. It’s bad when Charlotte isn’t the worst interview in a given segment. The women’s division is so, so bad right now, and there are a dozen fresh faces they could use to rescue it, but they won’t, because Johnny Ace and Podcast Prichard are fucking clueless.

Dave Roberts hideous use of his bullpen (or pitching staff in general) make him a prime candidate to be the next Yankees manager

"Razor Ramon's surname is actually Westerberg, "Razor" Ramon Westerberg, so he wasn't technically portraying a Cuban"
Wikipedia doesn't dive too deep into Scott Hall's early life aside from being an army brat. It might have been said in some shoot interview before but it wouldn't surprise me if Hall moving a bunch due to the Army and Shawn Michaels moving a bunch due to the Air Force gave them something to bond over when they became close friends in the WWF.
Fun fact; my mom and Scott were close when both their families were stationed at Fort Riley, Kansas.

Two nights, two walk-off wins.
And your boy was there for both.
Hallelujah, holy shit.

I hope you're right. Bucks could afford to drop a fall and the Dark Order have been feeling extra jabroni lately.
Lolololol. The Bucks drop a fall? That would require a desire to help get anyone else in the tag division over. Like tonight. It wasn’t enough to go over on the Dark Order. They had to kill off Luchasaurus & Jungle Boy first. Then, when Jungle Boy came out for his shine, he was left only Cutler to get his shit in on. But y’all be sure to take me through the weekly leaps in logic y’all make to convince yourselves that all that no sell Outsider cosplay smarky bullshit is actually great. Really sullied what was otherwise a great show.

The IInspiration is coming to Impact. At Bound for Glory.
I don't understand why TK wouldn't have pushed harder to bring them in.

Did Mike think he was in West Side Story? The fuck is wrong with him.
I don't think a more severe Napoleon complex has ever infected a man than with Mike Graham. That and his dad telling Dusty that Dusty was his "wrestling son."

@zendragoncareful. You're gonna upset a lot of people pointing out that the Bucks aren't perfect.

Well, if Drew is going to be restrained, I'm going to step up and say the Bucks pissed me off last night. I saw at least two occasions when one of them hit Luchasaurus while the latter was on the apron and he went down. The Hell? Maybe my memory is faulty, but I can't imagine one of the Rockers hitting one of the Twin Towers with a simple forearm and expecting them to bump for it.
To reiterate what others have said better, the problem with the Bucks isn't their size, it's that they don't wrestle in a way that makes sense for their size. Rey Mysterio does. Brian Danielson does. Darby Allin does. The Bucks, not so much.
Careful. I’ve been told repeatedly that if you’re the young bucks, no choice you make is wrong and your lack of size doesn’t matter because it’s 2021. They can carry themselves like the Steiners because “it’s part of their act” and not a devastating, soaked to the bone lack of self awareness.

He’s signed, just with a deal that allows him to do other shit.

I have some thoughts:
There were parts of the opener I liked. We all know how I view the Young Bucks, so all I'll say about that is that when they botched the IndyTaker and whichever of them looked in the camera and said "that's what we do," all I could do was nod and say "yep, that's what you do; fuck up spots because you only know how to work one speed."
The Punk promo was good. I wonder if we're beginning to see diminishing returns.
Dan Lambert is either an idiot or a genius. Or both. TK needs to pay Paige Van Zant whatever it takes to make the move to full time wrestling. She's a natural.
Nothing else stood out to me until that reveal at the end. Adam Page is the future of AEW. I wonder if Mox turns heel and feuds with him after Page beats Omega. Seems logical to me.

Of all the wrestler's in the AEW roster, she's the one who stands out as having the most potential to me. She has an incredibly high ceiling, and I hope it all comes together.
Well yeah, she's 6 feet tall, her ceilings might need to be higher....
Anyway, yeah, she's potentially a franchise changing talent. There are low-key some really talented women on AEW's roster. Even the ones who are limited in-ring (Big Swole, Penelope Ford) have charisma enough to close that gap. That division has gone from liability to asset very quickly.

I could see Lio Rush fleecing Matt Hardy out of Private Party's contracts or something. That'd be a fun grouping.

Really fun show. Liked the opener but I thought Jungle Boy needed the win a bit more. He’s a guy they clearly believe in, but he needs a big win. I don’t understand adam Coles appeal. I’ll leave it at that.
Dark Order stuff was fun. -1 throwing the papers at Evil Uno ruled ass. Really fun, feel good moment.
The six man thing was fun because it’s always funny seeing Eddie Kingston mark out for Sting. Watching that dude bounce off Mox popped me.
Darby got a lot of run on this show. Not my cup of tea but I get it.
Women’s tag was pretty good. Anna Jay has improved a lot and Tay Conti seems like the most wonderful human alive.
Main event was really good. Sammy had to throw everything at Miro and it still took rash, angry decisions from Miro for Sammy to win. Sammy will have great matches for a few months and Miro can rest up before coming after Adam Page after Page takes the title off Omega.

Anybody know when the series 9 of AEW figures are being released? A quick googling didn't give me any joy. Want to pick me up a Thunder Rosa figure. Don't have the cash to buy all, just buy my favourites.
6 is in stores right now. I’m assuming 7 will drop this or next weekend. That Lance Archer looks siiiiiiick. I’m getting out of the Mattel game, but staying w AEW figs. 9 probably won’t be out until next spring.

They may be able to do it but Matt Jackson reversing double team move into double suplexes on guys his size or bigger will never not look ridiculous to me.
And that really doesn’t have anything to do with his height but his mass and how strong he actually looks—not strong enough to do that without lots of cooperation.
And the Bucks getting up and going on offense about 30 seconds after getting dropped on their heads will never not annoy me but I understand that good selling is less important to modern wrestling fans.
This is a better and more reasonable way of saying what I was trying (and admittedly failing) to say. The Bucks have such an exorbitantly high percentage of their moves that clearly require cooperation with their opponents that it absolutely obliterates suspension of disbelief. I know they've tried to play it off at times as "subverting wrestling tropes," but sometimes tropes exist for a reason.

No kidding! I was gonna point that out, too. It’s why so many of these arguments just fall apart. Like when Corny talks about how the Young Bucks look like they can’t win a real fight as if Beautiful Bobby and Loverboy Dennis looked like the fucking Bruiser and Crusher rolling into a bar.
Christian is taller than either Buck, and towers over adam cole, so I’m not sure this is the “gotcha” moment you want it to be…

Slagging on Cole and the Bucks for being ‘too small to be believable’ is such a toxic take. It’s WWE-derangement thinking that has led to decades of talented people having their careers fucked with and leads to Diesel vs Mabel main events.
I don't have a problem with them being small. I have a problem with them working a style that runs completely counterintuitive to their size. Bryan Danielson might be my favorite wrestler of all time, and he's not any bigger than Cole. The difference is he has the self awareness not to project like he thinks he's Scott Norton.
Oh, and I like Orange Cassidy.

When I was a kid I just thought that when the babyfaces were running out of the back to make the save, the music guy would see them and play their music. Made sense to me.
