They fired Urban Meyer

1947, it’s a somewhat major plot point in the Ms. Marvel TV show.

@Gordi the former AEW fan I don’t want to take him away from you in Japan but I dream of AEW getting Jeff Cobb and reviving United Empire with Ospreay and Aussie Open.

I was thinking brat would actually be awesome but again, India and Pakistan are not the same place.

It was an open secret for decades that Weinstein was not just being a “casting couch” sex pest but was sexually assaulting women, and also sexually trafficking some women in the same way Vince has been accused of. Vince’s casting couch/sexual assault and harassment dates back decades and he also helped cover up a lot of sexual harassment and assault from upper level employees for decades. It’s actually a very apt comparison.

Allowed him to make billions of dollars in profit, no less.

No Rampage tonight (they’re doing another live post-Collision tomorrow) so you might be able to sneak in one of the other 1000 DVDs instead.

I was like 16 and I sent Matilda a get well card.

Found out it’s a photoshop and got very sad

Got mine today (being in Philly meant quick delivery). Love the packaging. Looking forward to reliving it, seeing myself mark out, and hopefully convincing my wife to check out some of the Action.

I still think Jack Perry is a poor promo and a very average wrestler. But realizing this morning the amount of mainstream coverage potential from Tony being on TV tonight and tomorrow with a neck brace and getting punched in the gut by Luke Perry’s son, it’s excellent booking and I’ll see where it goes. I don’t have a lot of interest in the Best Friends fallout, and it’s taking a lot of heat from OC, one of the guys who helped carry things through the rough patches the last 18 months. Swerve-Fletcher was good stuff, not as non-stop MOVEZ as might be expected. And Fletcher isn’t some JTTS, he’s ROH TV champion, former NJPW tag champion, and has had highly competitive matches recently with Danielson, Ospreay, and in tags against BCC. They are turning Mone heel, although I don’t think the crowd is going to fully allow it. Honestly, they should have Stat cheat to help Willow retain at the PPV band say Mercedes jumped the line and didn’t deserve the spot. The best parts of the chaotic Gauntlet were Ospreay’s interactions with Jay and Archer, his work with KOR, and Komamder’s shock at getting Archer. Worst parts were Penta Hogan no selling and only running in to get his moves in, and Dante getting nothing in on anyone except Jay. Aftermath with Fletcher and Ospreay slowly turning on Callis is exciting as someone who wants Aussie Open back (and maybe Jeff Cobb please). The Undisputed angle is dead in the water at this point. Good. Mina-Anna was solid, Mina did a good carry job and it’s more proof that Anna needs an excursion badly. The Midnight Chokers Club had a field day with this match. Smart to put the technically proficient but duller than drying paint Deeb with technically proficient and character star Timeless Toni. Mox-Hobbs was fine until the weird, unfortunate injury. Not sure Mox realized how bad it was, given the tope. Jericho leaning into the online criticisms and being delusional heel might work, but he still could use a TV break. Shibata and his phone translations are great stuff. I’m probably forgetting something here.

That was such a weird, random botch too. Like that’s a move/bump,that’s been done a million times but somehow he slips on a banana peel, crashes facefirst into the buckle and gets his knee fucked up in the ropes. Or did it give while he was running towards the buckle?

Honestly if he clowned on the whole idea of the fake belt and threw it in the trash, I would mark out like crazy.

I watched Danielson-Ospreay again last night with a nice buzz, and after having read all the posts, Matt’s excellent write up, and lots of skeets. I don’t have lists, and I don’t do stars other than DEAN~! Style MILLION BILLION STARS, which is what I give this one. I thought everything was earned, they were constantly fighting against holds, trying to find counters and reversals, without it seeming too “indie”. The timing on everything was impeccable, there were story beats and callbacks throughout. The showdown at the end gave me goosebumps again. Also, Callis and Nigel were fantastic in getting everything over. I understand wanting to watch on mute due to the early intrusive crowd, but you will miss out on a master class in commentary.

Woke up, opened board, saw this, ordered.

I agree with the Brody part minus the steamrolling.

Hook throws the shittiest punches. Those weird body shots he throws are business exposing.

Given all the attention to Nyla, maybe they could have bumped the Trent-Sydal match that literally no one but Sue and Sydal’s brother care about and given Nyla a Zero Hour match, I know we’re all rightfully ready for the Acclaimed trios run to end, but can’t help but feel they’ve been cooled down because of Caster’s antics.

You could hear a pin drop after he said “next week”

Out of curiosity, I looked to see what nation Nyla was a member of, and it’s the Oneida, who don’t have a reservation in Oklahoma.

I’m a low voter on PAC and the Bucks (although been enjoying their recent heel work and shift in ring). I know it’s weird to complain about choreography and scripting in a choreographed, scripted “fight” but damn their in-ring work last night was so rote and “don’t look at the strings” stuff I’ve seen. Soft-ass forearm “strikes” done to, I don’t know, look like actual fighting to set up acrobatics that look fancy and have almost no meaningful impact? Openly walking to the location of the next spot with no concept of having a reason to be there other than it’s the next mark in the script? Awful stuff.

I liked Hook better when he didn’t talk...and I didn’t like him then. An all time epic dumpster fire of a segment. Claudio-Ospreay was fucking phenomenal. Also Callis was great on the announce. Cassidy-Shane matched incredibly well, definitely a surprise banger. Mariah-Deonna was solid and could’ve used some of the time given to Jericho-Hook, and also Taz focusing more on that match and not his fucking knee. That’s my immediate thoughts.

Split the door between Trevor Project and an Oklahoma trans support group, and make a special shirt that also raises money. I’d have it say Fuck Oklahoma in the trans flag colors but JR would likely disapprove.

I would say that Coach Tony should open the next Dynamite with a pre-taped segment addressing the issue, saying that Nyla is an AEW original and a former AEW WOMEN’S champion, and the state of Oklahoma can shove it because AEW is where the best wrestle. If they persist, cancel future OK shows. But not sure if Tony can pull that off, so maybe Danielson or someone of similar stature who has the mix skills.

Him and several of the other people mentioned already are working regularly for some Philly promotion, Vince could just go ahead and buy that.
