So who is The Gambler and my personal favorite Frankie Lancaster?
Butcher is maybe the closest to The Gambler. I don’t remember Frankie Lancaster.

There are weeks with almost nothing I want to see. There are weeks where I want to see almost everything. Usually it's a Dynamite/Collision split with Rampage in the middle though. The next few TVs are looking pretty fun though.
Did you post your thoughts on Cope-Penta already?

I've had enough of the weirdo online posters. I've basically unsubscribed from all the FB wrestling groups I had joined. The DVDVR is the only group of online wrestling weirdos I need.
Gonna be honest, I saw a couple of people online asking where they can go that’s not the Twitter/Reddit/normal websites and I didn’t share our fortune.

Any argument that nobody knows the Stardom gals and we need like an '80s style clipfest of matches set to "Maniac" from Flashdance to introduce somebody is missing the fact that they're posting on the Internet and that's where you find out about these things nowadays instead.
Ok, but hear me out, can we have that as well because it would be awesome?!?!

@Matt D You got like three Willow matches I can watch to prep for this?
She had a match with Red Velvet where the crowd totally turned on RV, which actually ended up with her becoming a Baddie. And then she had one of maybe 3 good matches with Jade, to the point the crowd turned on Jade. Excellent match a month or so again with Skye Blue, they’re close friends and work really well together, it was probably Skye’s best singles match.

It’s like people forget Vince spent weeks on the Billionaire Ted skits, and that it was USA Networks who told him to knock it off.

I respect your view on this, but if AEW can't move on from this over eight months later, how are they ever going to be able to move on at all?
Neither side seems to be able to move on and let it go. But AEW/TK had more to lose by not being the bigger party at this point in time.

Stardom head: “Coach Tony, a group of our workers will be in the US for Wrestlemania and NJPW in April. We know you love working with Japanese companies and have some of our former gaijin stars. Would you like some of our women to be on your shows?”
Tony: “Absolutely, I’ve been wanting to make this happen for a few years!!! Now let me see where we have our shows that week...West Virginia...(deep sigh)...Kentucky...(deeper sigh)...fuck it, our TV fans will care at least”

Cope and Penta had a banger, Dustin bled buckets, May and Jay had a solid match, Willow got put over BIG TIME, but none of that is going to matter.

I would just like to point out that there were at least 4 former DVDVR posters in that footage, and another just out of frame.
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.

Makabe also hit a DVD at one point, which was the only "pro wrestling move" in the match. Which I assume he did as a sly reference to DVDVR itself...if so, well played sir...
I definitely assumed that in the moment live!

There might be a certain amount of Calvinball to Lucha commissions but I suspect that as long as the promotion doesn't act like the unmasking never happened, it'll pass muster. As long as they're not mad at you for something else.
I guess there is a "fuck 1999 WCW booking" exception they made for Rey Mysterio
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.

If you're a top guy.
Otherwise, you have to risk getting fired for getting injured working indy's to suppliment the maybe one show you work.
Yep, the workers need to organize.

Anybody with any thoughts on Rampage? I'm curious how London Lightning came across on TV. The live crowd was certainly into him.
(Did the bit before the match with Roddy interviewing him even make the broadcast? I tend to be at least half asleep by the time Rampage came on and can't remember.)
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 must be in the bizzarro=verse, I didn't mind the Copeland promo and thought the Danielson-Archer match was bad.
Even though Punks interview wasn't really bad enough to merit a response, the actual promo was a good bit of rah=rah delivered by a guy who seems to believe it
But Danielson-Archer was just Archer crushes BD, BD comes back by going after his legs, Archer cuts him off with a power spot, no-sells the leg damage, repeat this 3 or 4 times. I thought it was super disappointing given who was in there.
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.

Also, Toni Storm AGAIN with the lines of the night:
"Mariah May reminds me of a younger Toni Storm. Thunder Rosa reminds me of an OLDER Thunder Rosa."
"I hope they don't activate the under desk camera"
"This chair is going to need to be reupholstered."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.

No, Tony runs everything. Every single decision AEW has ever made was a unilateral decision by Tony, or at least the ones I don't like. Tony. TONY.
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.

If that was such an issue, there would be no PC. Literally 90 percent or more of their "developmental" talent has never proven that they would have been a wrestler back in the "good ole days". This goes especially since the roster as a whole is averaging a torn ACL injury or the like every 4-6 weeks. Unlike then, you're getting paid to sit at home.
And why the experienced indie wrestlers bail on it

I’m going to be Pennsylvania archaeology networking (read: drinking beers at hotel bar) during Collision and possibly even BotB. Probably won’t be able to catch up until Monday.
