  1. Sting retires, Danielson goes part time, Mox goes on vacations with his built up PTO. Instead of the Smackdown Six, who do we have as the Elite Eight in the next year or two? The wrestlers To y Khan will revolve his main programs around.

    That might be generous too. If I never see him again, the only thing I will remember about him is how I marveled at his ability to pull Anna Jay despite having less charisma than a cardboard box.

    I wonder how much longer Ortiz will be All Elite. He doesn't really have much value if he's not tagging with Santana. 

    Which is sad. He really lost his funk over the years. Early on he had such a dynamic personality of over the top selling and zaniness. kind of like how Juice Robinson has such a wild demeanor. Hopefully he can get his groove back.

  4. I was a WWF kid. I hated Hogan and Goldberg. I could not deny how cool Sting was though. NWO was just a bunch of old guys trying to be DX (lol) but Sting was a legitimate dream opponent for the Undertaker. Outside of the cool luchadors in the video games, Sting was the only thing WCW had going for it in the eyes of a child.

    I thought there were five Bryan Danielson vs. Eddie Kingston AEW matches. Went to cagematch and there's four:

    Bryan Danielson vs. Eddie Kingston. AEW Rampage, 27th October 2021.

    Bryan Danielson vs. Eddie Kingston. AEW Collison, 2nd December 2023.

    Bryan Danielson vs. Eddie Kingston. AEW Dynamite, 27th December 2023.

    Bryan Danielson vs. Eddie Kingston. AEW Revolution, 3rd March 2024.

    The series is 2-2.

     

    5 if you include the CHIKARA match. For fun though, I mentally look at the recent 3 as a trilogy. But all in all they play into an interesting overall narrative. Even with the Claudio distraction in their first match is pretty interesting to think about with the eventual BCC connection to Danielson.

    If we added the 2 other matches to the really cool twitter post @AxB posted then we’d have

    CHIKARA 2010 - Danielson on top of his game mostly dominating a brawling excellent leg selling Kingston. Claudio distracts Eddie which causes the loss.

    AEW 2021 - Hard hitting match where Danielson chokes out Kingston while Eddie is still flipping him off. Sets up the disrespect in the 2023 matches.

    When AEW is at its best, I really love the in-ring storytelling.

    But TK should serve everyone and have the tournament be for who will be Darby’s new partner. That is such a wrestlecrap idea that I honestly don’t think has ever been done.

    But only with his enemies so the winner we can ask if they can coexist.

  7. I had a lot of fun with this show. Too excited to give we’ll thought out write ups.

    Kingston vs Danielson had me wiggling throughout. I loved Eddie’s arm getting worked over. My MOTN but likely has been emotionally beaten by the Main.

    Cinnabon vs Bruv was maximalist excellence. I got worried for Ospreay with the weird corner bump, but he seemed alright.

    Evil Cowboy. I like it. ALL HAIL CHAMPION JOE.

    Main Event was beautiful and brutal. I loved his sons being there. The Young Bucks were perfect. Such pieces of shit and willing to bump and play sleaze-bags. Sting was perfect and Daby is too crazy. Such a great send off.

    LOL at the cut off point. I don’t blame AEW for that. PPV company gonna PPV company. We’ll get it on Dynamite or YouTube.

    SWS continuation would be next. I'm dying to get back to Tenryu; this is true. That said, I was kind of looking forward to Choshu and this NOW vs NEW stuff though. I'll figure it out next week when I'm back to 100%. I could theoretically shift things around so AEW watching is on the treadmill and NJPW is on the laptop for a bit. We shall see. I'll bury this here, but we've got a new SC project starting up on Weds too. All the watchable 70s Joshi that we know exists on tape. So that'll take up some time too. Regardless, I appreciate anyone who takes the time to read. This does keep me inspired to stay in shape and while I am doing it for me, people checking in does help.

    Keep me updated. @Curt McGirt and I will fight (and lose) for you.

    Just a quick update to anyone following along. I had to catch up on some current stuff to keep track. Then I ended up with a cold, which I have now. And now, I've just found out that NJPW is doing copyright strikes on youtube for things still in draft format, which I've never seen before. Usually you have to make them at least "unlisted" or "private" for that to happen but you can still upload them and watch them on your phone if they're in "draft" format. So that's going to hinder my watching most likely. I'll keep poking at it but I expect my burner account to go down shortly as two strikes popped up out of nowhere.

    Jump to a different company. If they mess with my Matt I’m done with them. Matt Derps NOAH of Osaka Pro or something.

     

  10. I haven’t eaten much today and I feel like I’m on a cloud. I’ve been down and stressed recently. But being at this Applebees I feel like I’m at the side of Zeus on a cloud. Olympia, Bless us. 

  11. I don’t know if there is time difference and @Contentious C is on the date or not. I’m gonna say read the situation. If you end it or there is a moment where you’re both standing near each other (NOT SITTING) and you make eye contact in a smile way, then go for it. But don’t force if if she’s like mowing the lawn or doing taxes. But she’ll let you know with the body language. I’ve ticked this up in the past though, but learned from my mistakes. I’ll send you a message tonight if I do t hear from you to check in bud. Good luck and I wish you a future of happiness

    Okay, I'll bite, and sorry for making it so wrestling-centric, but what would be your current day Octupii booked return of AEW's Quake by the Lake? Going on the precedent set by the inaugural 2022 show - give us (up to) 6 Dynamite dream matches and (up to) 3 Rampage-Baby dream matches plus a bonus 'In Action'. 

    assuming we are going off of currentish storylines. BUT because you said dream I’m treating it rightfully like Athena biggest show of the year. Free on television and it puts WWE out of business. Imagine I built everything up perfectly.

    YOUTUBE (technically not) DARK wrestling:

    Dante and Darius Martin (612 chants ensues) vs Platnum Satnum & Jay Lethal (managed by Jeff Jarrett

    Nyla Rose vs Kiera Hogan

    Nick Wayne vs Mark Briscoe

    QUAKE BY THE LAKE 2 - We’re Gonna Need A Bigger Boat (Dynamite)

    Show opens with WHAT THE FLIP? LUCHA MADNESS El Hijo Del Vikingo vs Komander vs El Soberano vs Mox?!?!?! Mox does a “I’m gettin too old for this shit promo” and gets his vacation.

    Chris Jericho honors the legends of the AWA. Bockwinkel chants fill the arena. Jeff Jarrett comes out and calls Baron von Raschky a pussy. They’ll fight on Rampage for the Texas Chainsaw Massacre belt. Nothing saws AWA like that unnecessary gimmicks and a Jarrett….

    LANCE ARCHER IN ACTION. He eats Serpentico. Challenges Eddie Kingston for future fun

    Kingston comes out and flips him off. They brawl and get separated. Uh oh, the match scheduled next is Angelico vs Eddie Kingston for the Triple Crown or Continental whatever. Kingston is hurt and Angelico picks him apart. But Kingston’s American King’s Road is too great. Archer watches from the ramp and they will kill each other later. 

    Fun Toni Storm segment. WHAT THE HECK WHAT IS ATHENA DOING IN THE DYNAMITE ZONE. They fuck each other up. Holy fuck they hit each other good.

    Scissor Fuckers vs Bang Bang Gang to unify the trios belts and end the stupid conglomerate that they have now. Daddy Ass and The Acclaimed to lots of taunts. Neat. Bang Bang Gang win with a returning Juice Robinson kicking Billy in the dick. 

    FTR do a promo about family. Young Bucks says no family fun on company time. Tension. They’ll match at a future PPV.

    ~RaNdOm DrEaM mAtCh~ BRYAN DANIELSON VS EL SATANICO

    Kris Statlander & Willow Knightengale vs Serena Deeb & Thunder Rosa. It seems random, but the intrigue I create by the build will be written about for ages. At the end of the match they are all limpy and toe to toe. Then Brit Baler comes out with A RETURNING JAMEE HAYTER and oh shit everyone fights. Continental Classic for the women’s Division coming up. 

    MAIN EVENT: Samoa Joe vs RUSH FUCK YEAH!

    RAMPAGE - STILL QUAKIN’!

    Penta vs RVD vs Claudio vs Big Bill (w/ Starks in his corner) stuff happens

    Deonna Purrazzo vs Hikaru Shida. Good Stuff.

    CHRIS JERICHO VS JEFF JARRETT IN A TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE DEATH MATCH FUCK YEAH.
