Honestly, Page is probably my least favorite wrestler whose matches I've actually watched in 2022. I like him less every time I see him. I was done with that match after the death valley driver. Up until that point page had done a fall away slam, a springboard clothesline, a dive, a big boot. He's a twelve year old's create-a-wrestler.
As I was watching that match (and marking out big time), I did notice the criticism of Page that he doesn't really have any build up offensive moves. He's either punches or huge moves. That can work in the context of "he's going to throw the kitchen sink at you" but as someone else mentioned also leads to A LOT of no-selling of killer moves.

Don't post botches, AEW. LOL.
No, please do when it’s Bay Bay.

I have no idea who the men’s joker was other than fucking awful. Reading here, I guess that wasn’t Johnny Gargano (who I don’t know, remember I’ve only tuned back in the last 8 months after 8 or more years) but John Morrison so makes sense he sucked. Dude was literally directing Joe on camera. I guess WWE isn’t the only promotion exposing the business this week.
On the other hand, @The Naturalneeds to go ahead and update that Best of AEW match list because Takeshita-Page was a banger that made them both look like a million bucks. I want to see Takeshita vs. Punk, Danielson, Mox, Andrade, Dante, any one.
Swerve and Lee (aka StrickLee Business, aka stop trying to make fetch happen JLowe) are great. Workhorsemen are excellent JTTS. I humbly request a Lee-Drake match btw.
Cant recall who called Fenix-KOR as the match they expected nothing from that ended up being great, but damn that was great. I submit that KOR is being held back in the faction and tag team. Stiff, stiff match, had me guessing who was going over, made each other look like champs, excellent selling.
No Jericho singalong (and no Cole singalong) is how it should be done. Makes a happy JLowe. Good heat building segment, having the dissension angle makes it so it’s not an obvious mismatch. And kudos to whoever stole Hager’s luggage and gave him one of the Young Bucks outfits.
Never seen Maki Itoh before. That was...something...Match was fine.
Serena “The Cooler” Deeb is out to confuse the audience and flub lines. I feel bad because it could have been impactful, and I know she’s incredibly talented in the ring.
Main event was there and a foregone conclusion. Post-match was there. Adam Cole is going to win and I’m going to hate it.

Takeshita is a fucking superstar, I don’t care how fluent or not he is in English I want to see him wrestling In AEW all the time. Also, Jim Ross needs to be informed that “Orient” is racist unless you are referring to a specific style of rug.

New Botchamania is out and they caught Taz saying out of the blue on Dark "In a side note unrelated to this match, I'm thinking about buying a submarine."
That whole Dark episode was Taz and Excalibur talking about everything but the matches.

The closest thing they've got to it right now is Mark Henry's Rampage Roundup
And they actually pipe that into the arena, unlike some of the backstage segments.

Joker guesses:
Men's: Jay White. Just have a feeling we get a Jay White vs Adam Cole final that leads us into Undisputed Elite vs Bullet Club at Forbidden Door.
Women's: Mickie James. A big win for Britt against a known women's star. A good surprise that would be out of left field but doesn't need to win or look strong because she isn't sticking around.OK, I like that guess for the men.

Man, I like you, but this was the shit that killed the last iteration of nXt. I can't imagine TK being that oblivious....
The whole tournament was an opportunity to build up some of the younger talent and that didn't happen, so...

Well, you could always have Satnam Singh or Jay Lethal be the Joker in Joe's match and have one of them pick up a win over Joe thanks to outside fuckery. Joe would get his 50/50 win back in a future RoH title defense against Singh / Lethal and could also fuck one of them out of their semi-final win against the winner of Fenix / O'Reilly.
That would probably be the safest thing to do, so I do not expect it to happen.
If this were 1999 WCW, they would book this so that the final is Cole-O'Reilly and then KOR lays down for Cole. But since this is tournament with Owen Hart's name on it, I can't see that. More like they'll have Cole expecting KOR to lay down but it turns into a real battle.

I don't remember mascots at Hershey Park, but I also went there in the 70s, not the mid-late 80s.

Oh, fucking yuck. Netflix announced a deal with Tom Brady to produce 5 comedy roasts of athletes. They'll be called.... *sigh*... G.R.O.A.T.'s
He will be the subject of the first roast. It will tape after the season ends in 2023.
I will bet you 10,000 shiny doubloons that one thing that will not be brought up is his penchant for leaving pregnant women for supermodels.

So, I watched 1883 a little while back, and it was…pleasant. I mean, it was very stupid at times, but my dream is for somebody to pump a lot of money into a new LONESOME DOVE adaptation, so I settled for this and was mostly not disappointed.
However, that led me to make the mistake of watching season 1 of YELLOWSTONE.
An unbelievably inept show. Taylor Sheridan is basically Nic Pizzolatto without an MFA. Just all macho bullshit, all the time.
I can only assume this show became a hit because a certain portion of the SONS OF ANARCHY audience needed somewhere to go and MAYANS M.C. wasn’t white enough.
It is extremely popular with the dudes on Texas sports board who complain about how there aren't enough Westerns and that everything out there is woke trying to cram feminism and gays down your throat.

Man, I HATED Greg The Hammer Valentine back in the day. Seeing Steamboat chop the shit out of him makes 13 year old JLowe very happy

I just found a cool resource, this Twitter posts scouting reports on all of AEW’s enhancement talent.
Been thinking of starting a new Twitter specific to my wrestling fandom and this is a compelling reason to do so.

Speaking of Steamboat, it's striking how short his hottest WWF run was. He came in before Mania 1, heated up after Mania 2, won the IC title at Mania 3, lost it in two months because he dared to want time off for the birth of his kid, apparently was sat out June-November 1987, wrestled this show, puttered around until March, jobbed in Mania 4, and that was it. So really his big run was about one hot year and that was all. Damn.
That's really interesting because for years he was my favorite wrestler based solely off that run. I never actually caught any of his WCW run.

I'm stuck between these two camps. I need to see Penta in twenty years. I know he's gonna be fat, I know he's gonna blade in most matches, maybe he won't have his mask, maybe the only bumps he'll take are big ones. Maybe I'm just waiting for that Penta.
Are you implying the issue I have is that middle-age era between the young, flashy tecnico who is looking to make everybody notice him with high-flying moves and destroying his body, and the old wisened rudo who knows his job, knows how to draw volcanic heat, begrudgingly brings along the juniors, and will bleed if that what it takes? Because that’s fucking scary how insightful you are into my psyche

I'm sorry, Mr Lowe, but Penta is awesome. He is all about getting the crowd into the match like a big. over luchadore knows how to do.
I know I struggle to get him, even though I’ve watched a decent amount of lucha, but in this case he was visibly off on every spot in the finishing segment.

I’m just going to be blunt: Penta fucking sucked in that match. It wasn’t a good match in general but lord the only spots Penta hit were his taunt.
I FFWD through Spears-Boulder.
Soho-Riho was mostly there until the last 3 minutes. Riho is a fantastic wrestler but she really can’t do facial expressions other than happy. She did wrestle the heel part of the match incredibly well, made Ruby’s finisher look like a million bucks.
Kaz-Scorp was a really great match. Post-match was really not.

Wasn't there video of him training with Jay Lethal recently? Flair looked every bit of an alcoholic septuagenarian in the ring.
I wouldn’t go that far but Lethal was definitely doing most of the work. Flair can still hit a couple of his signature spots, but I also never want to see him in an actual wrestling match again.

I see this a lot, and I think the case is overstated. Yeah, he gets to riff and have less of a filter in AEW. But the idea that he can't make it work a little cleaner with a script doesn't track for me. I don't buy that the limitations would hinder his talent from making things work.
This as always comes to the usual caveat of how hard they want to commit to an act.
Or how much they want to be able to trademark.

I always look back at early SpikeTV TNA as a real missed opportunity. Just couldn't get out of their own way
I got the first PPV when they were doing it that way, and watched some on Spike TV, but I truly could not stand that 6-sided ring.

"They" meaning announcers other than just JR, right? Because Hook's mostly been on the show JR's not.
You're probably right about that, I just know it's been mentioned a lot and not just by Taz.
I know it's occasionally brought up that Anthony Bowens played college baseball at Seton Hall.

Does JR still overly praise people for football or other sports/athletic backgrounds?
I've lost count out of how many times they mention that Hook had a lacrosse scholarship to a Division 1 school.

I think the issue some have with Danhausen's match isn't that he lost (he shouldn't win much) but that he basically got squashed by a relatively unover low carder in 20 seconds. I don't think it is the kiss of death or anything overly dramatic like that but the debut basically sets him up as the single "worst" wrestler the company has ever had which feels a bit much.
If I were a meme/photoshop person, I would make a tub of plain yogurt with abs and a beard and call it Tony Nese.
