I'm pretty sure one of the DVDVR issues had a paragraph about Arn Anderson in the 80s being like the foreman at the plant, some asshole wearing blue blocker shades and a Members Only jacket chewing your ass out, knowing how badly you wanted to knock his teeth in but that you needed the work.

I think this might be the last chance we'll get to see our beloved Lard Lad before he heads back home.

Overcorrection of past excess by the NFL. Doesn't lose a cent of income, and the Browns have a hot garbage schedule for the first 6 games.

Is that Hijo del Santo?

This is so great, I want them to show this on TV.

I like me a simple cake donut, maybe a blueberry cake donut if I'm feeling fauncy. Last time I even remember eating a donut was at the original Duck Donuts in 2016. I will likely be missing Rampage as Friday is my 6th wedding anniversary and we're having a little downtown Austin staycation to celebrate.

What about when he spoiled the Rampage women's match announcement and Taz and Tony were like "well, yeah, we heard people talking about something like that maybe happening backstage but I don't think it's been signed yet"...

Mox is basically making someone different a bigger AEW star every week, he's my WOTY. This was the perfect way to get the FTW onto Hook and take Starks to the next level. Like @For Great Justicesaid, that was a perfect pro wrestling sequence. Dante-Sammy was excellent but wasn't all it could be because of the injury, hope it's not serious. How about that huge air from the stage? Dante and Skye being a real-life couple is so cute I could scream. Hope she whoops Tay's ass. They gave Jungle Boy all the swears. It's kind of weird to me how much good ol' JR loves Jungle Boy considering what he normally goes for. JB still really does nothing for me but the crowd loves him. Thanks @DEANfor the Sterling/Jimmy Hart comparison. Fun match for what it was. Josh Woods is eh for me, so perfect for a tag team with Nese, who is still pretty eh for me. They will make good fodder for StrickLee Business's first defense. Need more non-DO JTTS. I found the Rosa-Miyu match mighty awkward for huge stretches, I didn't hate it but I thought it only really gelled a couple of times. Main was definitely something different and unexpected. I love Garcia, I love him as a foil for BCC since he's matching their style and intensity. The backstage stuff moved pretty quick and set up some stuff. Best thing tonight was NO BOOMER SOONER!

Yes, I can't imagine that campaign would want someone around with a whiff of paying off your victims of SH/SA and making them sign NDAs...

When I was a kid in Ohio they had a white bengal cub born at the Cincinnati Zoo and it was a HUGE DEAL! Went to see it, bought one of those felt pennant souvenirs and honestly might still have it somewhere. It was actually right around the time they switched to the stripe helmet so it's double nostalgia for my days as a young Bengals fan before moving to NYC and an eventual Super Bowl winner.

One of my favorite thing about the live lucha shows I saw in Mexico was that you had so many women and kids and they went apeshit for babyfaces and HATED rudos, while the dudes were more mixed. And you would see women and children getting legit pissed at their husband/dad for cheering rudos.

Craig H answered really well right above this. I don’t think that’s an accurate assessment of Claudio on Gresham’s part.

Pretty rich coming from a guy whose character is “short strong man who wrestles well”

That crowd cared more about Serena Deeb than every one of her AEW television appearances in the last 6 months combined.

Yeah, you should be paying him for what he brings with his talent and wealth of knowledge but if not that you at least pay him to keep him from working for your competition.

8 Star FTR?!?!? Fun night of wrestling. Honestly, wouldn’t have minded if they had Deeb go over, she seems to have a home in ROH. Garcia-Yuta was fun and I would’ve been fine with another 5-10 minutes. Truly expected Lethal to win, don’t know that Joe is more than a special attraction at this point.

Only thing I watch on Peacock is WCW and territories but I know that still makes them money.

Had a long, hot, exhausting week and had to stay out of town an extra night, but I am now home and with the extra per dime I got for today I decided to buy the PPV (also since it’s only $40). Missed the first 20 minutes or so of the buy-in but got my beers and ready to go.

If you had told me at the start of the year that my favorite wrestler was going to be a Japanese guy obsessed with Cinnabon and other American fast food, I would have said "hell yeah!" Lard Lad fan club VP here!

I'm cracking myself up imagining them dubbing an updated Max Caster rap over the taped footage. I'm also exhausted and sun-addled so easily amused.

I almost mentioned in my post-show comments that it looked like Jericho had a broken nose. Guess now we know he did, and how it happened. Anything from Eddie yet on his hand?

Today while doing fieldwork we had to cross a very high barbed wire fence to go back and forth to the truck (for cold water); either climb up about 4 feet and over, or belly crawl under. Obviously, I was thinking about yesterday when I was slithering under and started getting my safety vest hooked. Then later one of my co-workers joked they were just going to run really hard and try to bust through, which was when I told them that I had watched a barbed wire wrestling match the night before. There are also electric fences there, so almost like an exploding ropes match.

I recall that Jay-Jade match being unexpectedly good, like maybe the first good Jade match.
