Whoa, did not know about Joe and forgot about Hero

I only know one and the one out of frame.

I haven’t had the time or energy to even watch Collision from Saturday (or the main from Rampage), and all the online discourse about what this clip might be has been kinda killing my excitement for that and tonight. Plus I really am fine without any Jack Perry.

My wife and I have been trying to find old episodes of 120 Minutes on YT, there are a few but most have had to trim videos out because of copyright claims.

I went down to the Suplex Vintage Wrestling store block party last Saturday afternoon. I didn’t get out of the house early enough for the Nick Wayne vs. Marcus Mathers match, but I caught a main event of Joey Janela vs. someone named Jimmy Lloyd who based on his arm scars is usually a death match guy. Anyway, I went over to get a beer from a tent that said Pilger Ruh Brewing, which turns out to be co-owned by Tony Deppen, who was there serving the beer. He commented on my 7 Seconds jacket and we talked about punk rock shows while waiting for the foam to settle. Nice guy, and it was a solid Keller pils.

I definitely assumed that in the moment live!

And you know, I think that’s bullshit and don’t respect that he hooded back up. He made the decision, he lives with it.

Yep, the workers need to organize.

I just finished watching that whole segment and match and yes, they included the pre-match interview, and he came across like a fired-up young guy looking to make the most of his shot. For a hot minute I thought we were going to get a London Lightning Kid moment.

Also forgot to include how amazing Willow’s promo was. They totally dropped the ball back when she was feuding with Jade and actually got the fans to turn on Jade and root for Willow to win. If nothing else, Jade should have also had a farewell match where she put Willow over. She is just pure genuine babyface positivity and has an infectious energy. It sure if they’re trying to book Mone as a narcissistic heel, but that’s how things are starting to go.

I’m in the same bizarro-verse with you then. I’m not an Archer fan so I’m biased but that was a slog that IMO did nothing to help Bryan and felt like a callback to his WWE formula (beat down by plodding big guy who no-sells most of his shit until Bryan finally does the “yes” limit break in the corner). Otherwise, I enjoyed the show even with some spoilers. Rosa’s best matches in AEW have been the street fights/cage matches and her matches with Toni Storm, so not surprising that going against Toni May brought out her best. Very stiff, pretty crisp, good pacing, good character work, good selling. Bucks actually pulled out the super kicks, but still mostly wrestled within their new heel style. Very sad about Trent, even if it’s been teased for weeks now. The contract signing was awesome, it’s going to be HUGE when Swerve gets that win. Maybe it’ll be a no-DQ and he chokes out Joe with the chain.

I just finished watching it and those killed me. I love that part of her character is being your unfiltered aunt saying the most inappropriate shockingly raunchy things out of the blue.

So you’re saying Tony Tony TONY has done it again?

All billionaires are policy failures and fodder, but HHH pulling the boomer grindset for his rapist billionaire father-in-law while TK provides a family-friendly schedule sure is some shit.

And why the experienced indie wrestlers bail on it

The PWI photographer, who was a larger gentleman, blocked my view of the fireball.

I was super into Priest heeling it up as well, just classic total dickhead stuff, wasn’t trying to be cool or hip. And like Gregg mentioned with Thatcher, he was never truly cheating but he added a taste of dickishness to everything he did.

Missed the first match and a half thanks to traffic, but had a blast. It’s only the second indie show I’ve ever seen and I’m certain that won’t be topped. Going in, I only knew a few of the workers but everyone was fantastic. Demus-Mad Dog was just ridiculously stiff in addition to the plunder and blood. Filthy Tom got dropkicked in a chair right in front of me. Was super impressed with Warhorse, and Krule was fucking scary. The main had super nasty limb work, a lot of us were visibly and audibly cringing. It was great to meet and hang out with Gregg, and I got to meet Phil Schneider and Johnny Sorrow. Was a little overwhelmed and tired so not as outgoing as I thought I would be, and sad I didn’t try and meet/introduce myself to more of y’all.

I found my lucha masks! Don’t work well with my glasses but I’ll be donning Ultimo Dragon once or twice for fun.

Central is 7, not 9

Gregg and I should be there 7ish. I’m not sure where my old lucha masks are (still not unpacked despite moving 7 months ago) but I’ll probably be wearing an old (as in the band, not the age of the shirt) punk rock band shirt in honor of DEAN~! as I don’t have any cool wrestling shirts. Also, I have an email with my ticket receipt but no actual ticket link or pdf. Hopefully, that’s enough to get in?

Forgive me if I’m not totally sorry that nepo baby had Daddy’s clout leech friend latch on. Not to mention that Hook could learn a thing or 50.

Never made a bucket list for wrestling as I’ve been to so few shows. I’ve only been to 3 AEW shows, one WWF show (the Edge debut match taping), 2 CMLL shows in Mexico, and one local Indy show in Austin. Somewhere I have the flyers/posters for the lucha shows but one of them was seeing Mistico in 2001 in Cuernavaca with a front row seat, when I didn’t know who half the guys on the card were (I was most stoked for Shocker). I’m 90% sure I got to see Dr. Wagner Jr when I went to Arena Coliseo, and maybe Negro Casas, and I think the best Masacarita Sagrada. I got to see the official formation of the Blackpool Combat Club, Punk-Dax singles, and Sting and the Hardyz in Austin. Okada in Philly before he was All Elite (and Flair, thankfully not wrestling), and RVD. Dustin a few times.

Thursday I will be in the second row for DEAN~! Friday, depending on how I feel, I may end up at Supercard of Honor. Saturday, depending on the weather, I’ll likely go to the South Street block party hosted by Suplex Vintage wrestling store. Don’t think I’ll make any of the Collective shows.

Not be a huge dick, but why do we need to make The Infantry look great? Their act is corny and they’re average workers. I lol’d at them doing their “hoo-rah” thing in Canada as a face move. Lucky they didn’t get booed. They had the best upset booking of the tournament fall into their laps with Starks audible. Either way, it’s going to be Bucks-FTR yawn.
