Tay Conti joining Chaos Project years after trying to ruin Negative one’s birthday party would be too despicable of a heel move to be done on national television.

What’s Booker T’s status and can he join the Acclaimed?

Sheriff Meltzer has a nice ring to it.

BRAND SPLIT: Due to drama and everyone’s love of draft based television. DYNAMITE and RAMPAGE, who ya got where?!

Web of Honor take BTE’s time slot. Rampage stays an hour but becomes live. More dark matches

My fragile mind, body, and spirit couldn’t handle how awesome a team of Andrade, Rush, and Kingston would be.

I’d say three months of Saraya making announcements instead of occasionally Tony Khan is worth the contract. Plus, you could do a Talking Elite with her, Rene, Alex Marvez, and Evil Uno. I find @John from Cincinnati to be illusive and mysterious. I only quote @Jiji. Yeah, this episode felt pretty WWE at times. ??

What is everyone’s five favorite RoH matches?

I’ve only been to one AEW show but it was an absolute blast! Have a great time, bud. The time can drag a bit by the end of Rampage (assuming they’re taping an hour of Dark beforehand). But it’s still a lot of fun.

I’m not in favor of people losing their jobs, outside of disciplinary reasons. I hope that a company can honor their contracts or at the very least work towards agreed upon buyouts.

I love Godard films. La Chinoise and Week-End for me. Seeing Goodbye to Language in 3D in theaters was the most awe-inspiring cinematic moments I’ve ever had. His use of text within the image and as a part of the experience was very artistically inspiring to me and is a big part of my personal art. Top 3 in the favorite filmmakers category.

I find the endings building off of each other was a nice touch to the trilogy. 1. Hangman hit Buckshot Lariat for a clear ended but time runs out. 2. Hangman wins with Buckshot Lariat. 3. Hangman loses by a reversed Buckshot Lariat. Showing that Hangman may be passionate and as a character needs to go to the same well. And likely as a performer too. Against Dragon, that’ll cost you. To @Matt D’s point, with an all timer like Danielson, Omega, etc they can play off it and break the chain of combo offense. Omega excellently using his knee strike (if I recall correctly, apologies if I’m getting the specifics worng, but I can post a gif later) to stop Hangman spinning strike was exciting and plays off different than if a similar reversal happened to someone else. Watching Hangman can be like watching Soul Caliber. Very combo based and generally the same combos. But I like analogies so I’ll throw another one out. Maybe Hangman is Thrash Metal? Entirely power with and constant speed, but not quite running. Obviously the visual doesn’t match, but I interpret Page in a similar way to enjoying Slayer. Obviously, I don’t care if other people like him or not. His genre of wrestling is outside the norm of traditional wrestling theory. I think his matches have an interesting voice as an artist and I have more fun dissecting the choices in his matches. He’s in the Omega camp of matches being a part of a larger story. The first two in the trilogy was the whole story (along with great Danielson beating down the Dark Order matches) and this third one was very much in his own head of the failure of the previous trios match. His character’s self esteem issues could be annoying on a lot of you but I’m still captivated by that part of his character. It’s funny because he isn’t one of my guys and not my style of wrestling I generally enjoy. But he’s in the both Under and Over rated camp for me. Olive Garden? This isn’t to deter difference of opinion or match/character theory criticism or even praise, those are my favorite posts to read. Even if I don’t agree with them, have well expressed thoughts is riveting and a total joy.

Agreed! It can be tough when Jericho goes full Sam Kinison.

I like to call it New Elite Wrestling. That way we get a New Japan - All Japan dynamic with the two companies. Omega can turn anime and be called Kenny “Thunder” Omega and Bobby Fish can pretend to be Inoki, while Kingston can travel the king’s road while endlessly chopping with his fighting spirit and we can use a stretcher to elongate Chris Jericho’s torso to be Baba-like.

He’d have a great time at Six Flags

I like me to think of TK as a Nathan Fielder type that is manufacturing awkward backstage moments to recreate his favorite wrestling memories.

Beautifully written pieces, @Matt D. I always enjoy your match breakdowns and rambles on SC. With all the craziness and drama, it was a real treat to read your perspective on the wrestling.

Jokes and fun aside, the craziness of all this has been fascinating to follow. But my personal enjoyment of the company has dropped quite a bit over the past few months. This saddens me.

@just drew is now Just Ok with the Bucks…for now.

I need to get back into the WWE
