For Great Justice

If he were booking the Jags I’d like to think it’d be on a laminated Waffle House menu that he holds over his mouth at gorilla

Dead gummit I couldn’t resist and now that’s one of those things I really wish I hadn’t clicked on (Twitter comments especially). Don’t do it guys!

I've always thought that following around El Hijo del Santo in The Wrestler-esk fashion would make a fascinating reality show. Legend, son of a legend, still going at 58 while doing pop up shows at *checks Cagematch* Leonardo's Nightclub in LA and Westminster, Colorado in 2021. Dude's career arc is just crazy to me. And now I'm thinking Coach Tony K needs to book Santo vs. Sammy for the TNT title.

Carmelo cashing in made perfect sense yet I didn’t even think about it. Props there. Good match. Diamond Mine has quickly become a group of shooters that will stretch your ass and it’s great

I am loving all this and look forward to the joy and nostalgia I’ll have as I flip back and forth between both shows during the overrun on Friday night like I’m 10 years old again. That first Monday night TNA show with Hogan did the same thing for me, and that was terrible! Both Rampage and Smackdown are good shows and this will be awesome.

Yes! That’s the one! That’s the summit of Vince Russo Bullshit. It’s incredible.

Agree that CM Punk Is Just Happy To Be Here is right there with Oh Man Jungle Boy Looked Great And ALMOST Won as AEW things that just need to stop. Dan Lambert Thinks AEW Sucks For Real is hovering around here too, and I love the guy.

Right. It’s so cookie cutter low-tier reality TV that I was convinced it was a Bischoff Hervey joint. Especially when Bisch himself showed up. This is right up their shitty run of the mill alley.

Oh man the Nash/Goldberg “that wasn’t in the script” bit from right around this same time was the absolute worst shit I’ve ever seen.

Cody Bellinger Rhodes

Oh man, the next step next week for Hangman is to finally admit to the Dark Order that he needs their help, isn’t it. Shit I’m out of Kleenex

Can the TBS title be Deeb doing a TV champion Steven Regal shtick? Please? It’ll probably be Cargill and that will be great, but sign me up for Deeb giving the Prince Iauk….Skye Blue’s of the roster 10 minutes of hell for months on end and winning via banana peel.

So much joy. They’re giving us the okie doke with the masked guys in the limo and it isn’t Pinnacle, right?

I actually like the new Arn format as a month by month retrospective of his career, but yeah the “Conrad lazily reads the Observer while [SUBJECT] provides anecdotes” format gets very old very fast. It’s all the ESPN First Take of podcasting.

Tony Khan’s big announcements always crack me up in their lack of bigness. I guess it’s because we largely envision TK as “one of us” and maybe “above” carny promoter shit in some way, but dude totally pulls out the carny promoter bullshit from time to time. This isn’t even a criticism - it’s great. He’s a promoter after all.

Strap the rocket to Bron. He needs to go over Ciampa clean as a sheet with the recliner in three weeks.

Well in this particular case the Henry promo is a clear out as “well I guess I’ll win the match” Which reminds me of “he’s gonna TRY!” And man, someone called Best Friends + OC the mascots of AEW a few weeks ago and that’s spot on. If this were 2002 and I was making a Best Of AEW comp they’d be all over it. The heart and soul of the whole thing.

I know the current champ is a heel but Andrade really needs the win in that ladder match next week, and it would be just the thing to help him break through that same early run rut that Miro had. Having him have that title shot in his back pocket for a few weeks, interrupting Elite promos backstage doing his shtick and fixing people’s collars and shit. Though they’ve really backed themselves in a corner now if the Joker ISN’T Hangman, which means it very likely is him / he wins. Like if it’s RVD or whatever ol dude is gonna get Rey Mysterio Rumbled.

OC during the Henry segment and Cutler’s stooge game being particularly on point were my highlights tonight

Bron will be an awesome NA champ

I rewatched Loki over the past few days and it dawned on me that by the end of the series the dude is totally 1995 Ric Flair. Like, he's this classic villain that turned babyface without ever officially turning babyface in a "you love to hate him" kind of way, but you know damn well that when the chips are down and Thor is looking for the hot tag near the end of Phase 4, Loki is going to chop block the shit out of him at Fall Brawl.

This show definitely reminds me of Fringe. Monster of the week to start out, forming a cohesive narrative toward the end. With a supernatural theme, and with The Observer / The Watcher as the lynchpin.

Broke out into belly laughs at 3 or 4 random times yesterday because of Arn and his damn glock AEW continues to bring me joy

That feeling when you realize you are older than 36 year old Paul Heyman was in that picture

How’s it not called “Title Chase”
