    Not to be that guy, but to be fair, I can't believe you folks watch as many hours of this garbage a week as y'all do.

    Counting the 1 1/2 matches I watched tonight, that brings my WWE viewing total for the month to 1 1/2 matches...

    You guys see Sapp fight at RIZIN last year? Still looks great but man what a funny fight. I don't see what he really offers at this point.

    Besides comedic relief from a 6’8”, 400 lb man turtling up at the first sign of contact?

    I’m very late to the party with AEW.  I just watched the All Out show and I have a question.  I wasn’t impressed with Adam Page, at all.  He seemed very generic and sloppy.  Was it just this match, or is he just kind of average?  What are some of his standout matches?

    I don't worry about Mox's schedule. Lots of guys have worked through worse.

    I'm more worried about his overall health. But I don't know anything about anything. Is it normal for staph to recur like this? Because twice in the same elbow over a couple years sounds super fuckin' scary. 

    MRSA is a bitch.  Basically, if you have it, odds are very good it flares up again.  It evolves and can become resistant to most medicines.  I had it flare up four times in one year.  Painful as hell, just a constant until the flare up goes away.  I would rather break a bone than deal with that shit.

    The Doink clips got me wondering, who is the best non-hoss squash match wrestler? 

    I’d give a vote to Kevin Sullivan, I think. His Nitro/WCWSN squashes were usually good for 2 minutes of total carnage.

    How about Taz?  He was 4’6” but would squash jobbers like he was 5’6”!

    I was pretty surprised by the Wagner/Demon match.  Those two are so past their prime that I usually can’t watch anything either are in.  But this was the best match you could have ever asked for between them at their advanced age!  The whole show was great fun

    Weird because she was the first one my eye was drawn to. On the other hand, I was like "Someone fucked up and put Mean Gene on there. Oh wait, that's Coach."

    First thing I noticed was HHH working his way in there...  I mean, it’s been forever since we’ve seen him

    I have never been able to wrap my mind around someone enjoying a Yano match.  I am always down for a good comedy match, but my lord, everything I have seen him in has been awful.  What is a match that may sway me from that thought process?

    Was pleasantly surprised by the quality of Ospreay/Archer.  Maybe Archer can take Fale’s spot of monster getting a title shot.  I really love ZSJ as a cocky prick!  Not sure if he is truly like that, but it’s believable.  It looks like I am in the minority, but I didn’t like the Kenta/Ibushi match.  Didn’t seem to have a great flow and felt like Ibushi was slowing things down so Kenta could keep up.  Didn’t hate it, but was well below the Archer/Ospreay, ZSJ/SANADA and Tana/Okada matches for me.

    First one that came to my mind was Taz in ECW.  Was a face, broke his neck and was out.  When he came back, he felt he wasn’t properly taken care of when he was gone by ECW.  He was also pissed that the fans cared more about Sabu’s return from betraying the company and Taz, than they were his return from injury, fighting for their enjoyment.

    "Secondly, I wanted to share a quick story of your dad that really made me and my brothers summer back in the early 90's. The WWF was running a house show at a maybe 5,000 seat civic center in a smallish town in Florida and my dad worked for a construction company that was doing the renovations on it that were ongoing on the day of the show. He was in no way a wrestling fan but knew how much my 7 year old brother and I loved it.

    Because he had an all access badge for the arena due to the construction work, my dad took us a few hours early to the show to walk around. He had access to a special lot behind the building where we parked. It was facing this pretty big pond that was known for good fishing. As luck would have it, my brother and I's absolute favorites were The Hart Foundation and they were out fishing by the pond killing time in the hours before the show started along with one of the Beverly Brothers. My dad, who wasn't starstruck at all because he had no idea who any of the guys were, got into a fishing conversation with the Harts and eventually they were talking to me and my brother. We told them how excited we were to see them on the card tonight and they asked us who our least favorite wrestler was. We both immediately said The Earthquake because of what he did to Hulk Hogan and Damian the snake.

    Lo and behold like 20 minutes later, Earthquake comes walking out in street clothes towards the Harts to hang out. Will never forget this, Jim Neidhart cuts him off, starts whispering in his ear and comes back. Like two minutes later Earthquake storms up, cuts a promo on my brother and I and starts doing the earthquake stomp in a circle around us. We were horrified momentarily until Bret Hart and Jim Neidhardt stormed over, put on a show to protect us and Earthquake begged off and went back into the building.

    It was the most completely unnecessary gesture given everyone involved had likely been on the road for weeks, driven hundreds of miles that day from the closest major city to get to us, and just probably wanted to relax without a dad and his two kids impeding on their personal time. We have told that story for years and it made my dad a fan for the next 15 years.

    Probably no more than a few minutes of your dad's life but he created a moment for my family that we still talk about to this day when he absolutely could have just blown us off. So sorry your loss and thank you to your family for the memory."

    That’s awesome!  Thanks
