Goddammit! Stop going through my search hist... I mean, nevermind!

@HarryArchieGus I was going to say that what Eddie has gone through has been a pretty awesome story. I will most likely go to my grave thinking that when Eddie said to Mox that he will win the AEW title, bring it to her mother and say "This is why you don't have any grandchildren!" is the greatest line I have ever heard in wrestling! And he lost. And he lost some more. Until he clawed his way back and won and won some more, until it seemed to all collapse, but he pulled back and won everything, even over the guy who denied it the last time! That's pretty satisfying, eventhough it took a long ass while to get there!

Ok, so maybe I was wrong about that one. I appreciate the response, I think this one isn't it, either, but it's still better than most Sting songs that I was aware of until now, so it's still a major win! Also, how does Dolfan feel about New Year's Day by U2? ...edit: I checked, and the song by Sting I was referring to was "Mad About You", not "Hungry For You". Now I know.

Bruv! ...But his entrance theme has given me some insane results in the gym recently, so I will always appreciate the hell out of that!

I love long term storytelling, but wrestling is not great at actually finishing the story and clearly moving on. I also love character development, but that's also pretty hard when the so called top promotion has been a plaything for the owner's perversions for god knows how long. That is the thing that AEW could really shine in, if they wanted to. Long term story telling with clear and satisfying character development. Combine that with strong intra-match logic and plenty of head-drops, flips and poison ranas and you would have me for life. Just saying. At this point, you probably already do, anyway, but still it would be nice. Thanks.

Took my shirt off and noticed a lump on the left side of my upper back that hasn't been there before and certainly isn't supposed to be there, either. It isn't particularly painful, nor is it gooey. Need to keep an eye on it, but it hasn't become any smaller in the few days I've been aware of it. There is no bruising around it, or anything. So, it could be a boil (there is no head as of yet), it could be an inflammation, or a hernia-like injury (is that even possible on your upper back?) If it's a tumor, that would be so my luck, but what the hell, I've had a good run!

Ok, so Revolution has a tradition of multi man matches, but I'm a bit bummed about Meat Madness being expanded into a decidedly less meaty options. Even with the additions, the only guys with a shot at winning are still Hobbs and Wardlow. But if scramble means elimination style one on one matches until only one remains (I'm not sure if that's the case?) that could make for a better match than just another big man 3-way.

I wonder why that is? In any case, I really, really liked the trios match and during Cash being in there with Mox, I was thinking he's another one of those short, but strong and agile explosive wrestlers in PAC vein and would love to see those two go batshit against one another!

And New Year's Day. That song is basically all I listen to from U2. Sunday Bloody Sunday is definitely worth listening to, as well.

That was pretty obvious when he said he lost his luggage on the way to US. He probably just let go of the handle, got confused and then grabbed it again and was like "phew, I found it!" That being said, dumb or not, I can see people cheering for him making him do things that will go against the wishes of Callis. He's not outsmarting anyone, rather kinda outdumbing them by accident.

This was pretty easy to sum up: Damn you, Hangman! Goddamn you, Danielson! Damn you to hell, Christian Cage, and you even more Roddy! Dammit, Stooley! You messed up, too! Young Bucks? Yeah, fuck those guys! ...Oh, and Jericho, you are OK, this time!

During the Death Triangle vs FTR feud a few years back, was there ever a PAC vs Cash Wheeler singles match? I know PAC and Dax had a highly praised match back then, but watching the FTR&Eddie vs BCC made me think I'd REALLY want to see those two go at it!

*plop* St. P: "Ok, you're in!" RIP Soultrain Jones

You don't have much trust in Brody's coffin droppin' abilities, I see? I'm pretty sure he'd do surprisingly well in that department, the crazy bastard. Also, if they go to the traditional tournament route, I could see Young Bucks angling their way into the semi-finals, when some team gets taken out (by Young Bucks, who aren't in the original line-up, but because EVPs, now they are) In this case, it could be Kings of the Black Throne, and somehow, Brody could then take Darby's original partner's place (I guess also taken out by Bucks, trying to make the finals 2 on 1) and thus the unlikely team is born?

Or a competition where people do the craziest coffin drops they dare and the one who can still get up after the biggest one they do will be Darby's new partner.

Regarding the hidden content, I need to check if "Hungry for You" is that song I used to like a lot in the mid 90's? I don't believe I have listened to it since then, though. It had a video on Mtv at the time with a desert theme. I'm not sure if that's the same song, but I remember liking it a lot. Certainly belongs on that list.

Well, too late now! Whatever he says, I have already bought the PPV. Hangman is one of my biggest favorites, but if he's out, there's still enough good stuff to make this worthwhile. Now Wardlow already has his own 3-way, so he won't be replacing Page in any case. Maybe it will be Swerve vs Joe one on one? There probably isn't any big names from Japan available to take the spot at a moment's notice, right?

I haven't ordered this one yet, but there's still time. Also, I don't know if I should even put this out into the universe, but I had a dream a couple of nights back that Danielson ended up basically squashing Eddie in a very short match. Whatever the end result will be, I hope that will not be the case. The Hangman situation is also unfortunate, but Swerve vs Joe would definitely be a fresh and unique match. Wait, that Wardlow promo... Is he going to take Hangman's place, so it will still be a 3-Way, advertised?

"Well, anything I do here won't make your chances any worse than you've already made them yourself."

I was totally beat on Thursday, so I only did some stretching and light resistance band stuff (with the heavy band, though). Recovered enough for Friday and did Trapbar but skipped all the preliminary stuff. After a few reps without Versas (off the blocks from the very beginning), I did a single with 453 before putting them on. Then with Versas 2x567, 1x662, then 3x767,5 off the full blocks. Then, shoes off, singles with 862 and 868. Also, with shoes 843,5 for the first time! Then 6x749 and that was it. Several new records for me, here! Next week, a much needed Winter break. During the week I was able to construct add-ons from metal pipes that I could use to attach small weights to the Trapbar, hence the new records and unusual numbers. Since the heaviest lift was 394kg, I'm sure the extensions will easily hold up to 400kg+, if needed. I know I will go for at least 396,5kg in two weeks' time.

Had to take it a bit easier on incline dumbell bench and hammer curls, so I did everything with 79's 3 sets of 12 and one 15 at 45 degree angle. Hammer curls until form was laughable. Couple of sets of resistance band lat pull-downs and similar reduced ab work at the end.

I will refrain from the squat conversation, but I will attest to being a Taco squatter myself (never heard that one before), which is why I prefer the machine at work gym. I feel like the position it forces you to be in, minimises the bending in half effect. Had to skip Monday and even Tuesday was just "well, I guess I could do the curls again", so Scott bench dumbell curls it was. Started from 57 this time and did 8+8, same with 61,5 and 66, then 7+7 with 70,5 as well as 6+8 with 75, but those started to be not very clean. Once again, each dumbell was re-racked while doing behind the neck presses with two arms. Also did a light set of curls while sitting on the incline bench and then transitioned that into a set of light incline dumbell bench. Tried the chest flies lying on the floor again, using a pair of 31 lb dumbells. Reduced ab work for the finish. Monday was batshit at work, yesterday was way better, so I should be able to go do something today.

Finally Queen Aminata gets a win! It's too bad that Anna Jay is where her level is, but still great to see her leveling up!

Been plowing and sweeping off snow for past couple of days, like maybe an hour per day. Not much action otherwise. The chest flies on the floor seemed to be very effective, or at least totally different stimulus, since I had DOMS for two days afterwards. I may have to do those a bit more often.

Yeah, it looked like you'd be getting crushed by a windmill on the loose.
