    The Philadelphia card, on the same night:

    So the Boston Garden was a strong show while kinda being the B show compared to the Philadelphia show. But the Boston show got the A show announcers.

    I think that there’s not a lot (or any?) Spectrum shows on the network. 

    Seems to be the formula of the time A show got Hogan and the B show was a stronger undercard

    Hook ran through The Factory, should've ran through The Trustbusters. Perhaps next we'll get Hook running through The Wingmen.

    Hook v The COntinetal Lover JD Drake? from your lips to Lemmys ears 

    @DEANPretty Pete puts in perspective how large wrestlers are, having seen him up close and in person he a fairly musclar man yet hes one of the smallest guys on the roster

    I always marked for Mr. J.L. since those are my initials too.

    Oh the stupid shit that got wrestlers over with us as children, oh to be a child again

    Also, since the caffeine's working right now to go back to Miro the guy is truly living the American Dream.  I had the pleasure of speaking with him Sunday and he couldn't have been nicer and appreciative of the compliments we were were throwing at him.  He said he knew coming to America he had to stay driven to make it and IMO AEW or not he's already won at life.  I did joke that maybe he should come back in a tank and he asked what we heard about it.  My wife didn't know but all I had to do was raise my head and eyebrows and he knew that I knew.  So since I knew that he knew that I knew we both had the biggest goddamn grins and laughed at it all.  But anyway, great guy.

    Makes a ton of money doing things he loves? madly in love with a l woman who feels like wise. Yhea I'd say the big guy is doing all right

    I do, and yet I don't. I'm struggling with my feelings on it because there were so many amazing things about this last run, but it's hard not to think about the guy jamming muffins in his face and shitting on absolutely everything. It's like an ex-girlfriend: tough to remember the good times in high school, when she's throwing your ass out 10 years later.

    So yes, some days I miss things like the FTR interactions, the tremendous MJF feud, being able to go "Oh hey, that's from Bret vs Diesel at the Rumble" during his Hobbs/Wardlow matches or whatever. Other days, I'm like, whatever - his signing was a means to an end to get a better TV deal and a video game, and he couldn't even do that for 'em right, fucking baby.

    'Tis a complicated matter.

    I'm finishing up reading Jim Wilsons book chokehold and he goes through a lot of the various lawsuits against Vince/WWF. CM Punk's various sagas remind me of Sable. Yhea Sable got a really big head when she became a star but a lot of her complaints seems justified. Likewise CM Punk seems like a real piece of work but I think his complaints over the years hold water.

    I could seriously get into Wheeler Yuta - Destroyer of AEW Cliches:

    • he refuses to do backstage interviews because that's where everyone gets attacked
    • when doing an in-ring or ramp/entrance interview, he waits a full 30 seconds after the first question while looking back at the entrance before answering, because that's when everyone gets interrupted
    • he immediately brings out weapons during a match, forcing the refs to remove the weapon or DQ him
    • he leaves the ring and compels the ref to count, and urges them to hurry up

    Wheeler Yuta bizarro Danny Davis ultra enforcer of the rule could work. DQ for closed fists, strict enforcement of tag rules, ten counts, full body checks before matches

    My wife asked me if he was actually gay, and I said "I don't know that a major promotion in 2022 would have a hetero playing a queen"  and then Google showed that I was wrong.

    I know the guy who plays Dalton Castle is married to a woman, I don't know if he identifies as straight though. I would be interested in seeing an out of character interview with him is it exists

    Miro’s injury prone and he’s trying to get into acting. Maybe he ekes out the rest of his contract and tries the transition to Hollywood. 

    He'd be in his early 40s and with his size and look I could certainly see him as a villain in a superhero film, anyway its good to have a post-wrestling plan

    Scott Keith is as much to blame for the era of meaningless flips and Johnny Kickpads as anybody. Dude ruined a generation of fans and future performers by shitting on Sid and Mark Henry while hyping drizzling shit white meat technical matches or whatever. 

    The world would be a much happier place if instead of that clown it was a reviewer that grew up on Memphis and Mid South that rose to prominence as a taste creator in the early internet.

    To be fair Mark Henry did put it all together but the first ten years where ROUGH! and Sid was a guy who certainly had a presence (and you can't teach that! Daddy!) that lead to some cool moments, Eliminating Hogan from 92 RR, The MSG entrance with the fist bumps, His appearance in ECW but he lacked enough in other qualities to make those moments lead to anything special long term
