    If folks can use the internet to keep track of quarter-hour ratings, who's maybe released or not, what people like SRS and Meltz have to say, etc., they sure as fuck can Google who Tomoaki Honma is. 

    I would think the pencil neck geeks that track quarter-hour ratings already know who Tomoaki Honma is.

    I see Vince more as a Daniel Plainview from There Will Be Blood, instead of yelling about milkshakes he’d yell about protein shakes, and instead of beating someone to death with a bowling pin he’d beat them with a dumbbell. 

    spot on. Daniel Plainview is a great fictional comparison.

    If FTR's theme existed on it's own, out of the wrestling bubble, I'd fully agree. Giorgio Moroder's 'The Chase' might be my favorite song of all time, but how do you not get excited hearing that FTR theme every time they come out? That's a beautiful ripoff. Agree on the DDP Teen Spirit rip, and it added to my 90s hatred of his whole trashy presentation. Tho, I softened on Page some time between that wild WWF debut and him saving all these fucked up vets. All that said, I don't see myself getting down to most wrestling themes outside of the bubble. There's also that weird thing of hearing one of my all time favorite songs ('Where is My Mind') played weekly and kinda wishing it wasn't playing weekly. I don't want to complain because it's a great song, but Orange needed/needs a less on the nose 'cool' song and something more of 'guilty pleasure' or something ironically cool like his character and his previous Indie scene entrance theme 'Jane' by Jefferson Starship. 

    what bugged me about DDP's Smells Like Teen Spirit knock-off is that he was far too old at the time to be using that. Raven's Alive knock-off was perfectly fine -as it fit his character and age... but DDP was 45 at least... it would have made more sense for him to be coming out to a knock-off of Rock You Like A Hurricane.

    THURSDAY REFLECTIONS:  Yes, it's the INTERNATIONAL FEED!  The fact that Eddie Kingston is the first one to try to end the match by hitting a Urican behind the ref's back makes Sammy's run-in justified!  I didn't realize that detail until I rewatched the INTERNATIONAL FEED! I assume this means that Ortiz will shave Jericho's head down the line.  The Wardlow match is an Ode to Kung Fu movie fights after they are powered out to disperse!  These are SECURITY GUARDS!  Why are they expected to beat a wrestler in a wrestling ring!  They should have Wardlow have to go to a club and make guys take off their cowboy hats and hit on hot chicks while checking their IDs.  Sterling should become Wardlow's Bobby Heenan to Wardlow's Hulk Hogan.  Sterling IS pre-neck injury, bumping Bobby Heenan!  Will Ospreay getting over as a face eventhough he works total heel is the reason Dax Harwood is over- modern wrestling fans dig guys who can go.  Zack Sabre Jr will be so over as a face no matter what he does.  AEW is a promotion of 1986 Arn Andersons.  Dax Harwood is so fucking intense.  Ospreay is great taking Dax's offense.  The SUWA Dropkick by Ospreay on the outside INTO THE CAMERA angle was so fucking great.  During the Picture in Picture that you rubes had to endure, the crowd is very vocally torn between Ospreay and Harwood.  Dax does the Bret Hart Sternum First Into the turnbuckle and JR doesn't bring up the connection- as I assume someone sat him down and told him how stupid it is to bring it up.  Ospreay is awesome taking the Released German on his neck- and Excalibur emphasizes this by bringing up Ospreay's neck trouble.  Harwood sells the powerbomb by rolling through for a two count and heading for the outside.  The crowd is waaay behind Dax's Lyger Bomb and really rises when Ospreay kicks out.  They have the same response to Ospreay's Lyger Bomb.  So St Louis crowds are as good as Southern California crowds.  Will Ospreay being confused by the whole Orange Cassidy thing is great.  Will Ospreay is the big winner in the Forbidden Door build up.  I assume he will be an AEW regular considering how quickly he got over.  Who dubbed this the Kingston Combat Club?  So great.  I guess Jericho is just freeballing the booking since TK is scrambling with everybody hurt or drunk driving.  Jericho books AEW like a grandscale Memphis, trying to get every one to the Memphis Coliseum this Friday and it's FUN!  Miro is like Road Warrior Hawk after they got over their initial annoying no-selling everything phase, in the way that he sells all out and then hits giant moves for a comeback.  Miro selling the shoulder is good old school story telling to negate the obvious awesome offensive advantage of Miro.  JR talks about Ethan Pages size and MMA background during the rubes' Picture in Picture.  Dan Lambert is the star of the INTERNATIONAL FEED!   Miro's selling carries the match until Ethan Page does the GREAT "PRAY TO ME, YOUR GOD!" spot and turn the tide of the match.  Ethan Page is a great old school wrestler. PSYCHOLOGY!   Britt Baker laying it in and bumping big is the difference in this compared to a normal Brit Baker match.   Baker is wearing her Owen Hart outfit.  During the EXCLUSIVE INTERNATIONAL FEED BIG SCREEN, Baker feeds the crowd backing Toni Storm by heeling it up.  The St Louis crowd who backed Will Ospreay for his skill, ALSO reacts to Toni Storm's 1970s babyface comeback, thus St Louis crowds are the best crowds.  Brit Baker wrestled this match as a GREAT heel- hitting her finisher after being a total bastard heel, but Toni Storm is Ricky Steamboat as she wills her way to kick out and hit her own finishers and being a better technical wrestler and winning.  That match could have gotten over in the Norfolk Scope in 1975.  A TRIUMPH!  Stokely Hathaway adds to the AEW is Memphis vibe, being a manager who sets up matches I want to see.  I await Blue Dragon and the Natural to debate how hideous the IWGP belt looks.  I guess they are going with Jay White vs Bryan Danielson?  Adam Cole is great being baffled while Jay White walks past him.   Your main event is fun but it isn;t really a wrestling match but a collection of table spots and back drops onto ladders.  They did make it so that the double decker table set up is the only table spot that actually mattered.  The Young Bucks aren't the Rock n Roll Express or the Midnight Express or anything, but the match was an extreme extension of the ECW main event.  Probably could have used the Hardy's so someone would have actually sold something, but that match pleased the St Louis crowd and it was the best crowd ever, so they got what they wanted so we as wrestling fans should be happy.   And we are.   Christian does the best heel turn in a while.

    I am 100% on board with Wardlow getting a Hogan push.

    it's kinda hard to act like an inverted atomic drop isn't dropping a guys balls into your knee

    at least with atomic drops, it's pretty clearly dropping a taint/tailbone into your knee

    An Inverted Atomic Drop impacts the tailbone. 

    The Atomic Drop impacts the perineum.
