  1. Catching up on Rampage, I’ve been a huge fan of Ol’ Mancer since his MLW run, he was often the highlight of those shows.

    I’m not sure where he first in AEW, he could be Hangman’s friend or mortal enemy, or both.

    Alternatively they could repackage him as a knight, full Lanny Poffo get up, and call him Sir Mancelot.

  2. Don’t know where else to put this, but it’s struck me a few times that Austin Gunn is a Memphis Wrestler trapped in 2020’s wrestling.  His look size and wrestling style would fit right in with Lawler, Dundee, Jarrett, Brian Christopher et al.

    I’ve loved the Gunn Club v Acclaimed feud.

    I popped for Cole saying "I don't think this Tommy Gibson has any relation to Hoot"

    You just know that line gave Vince an aneurysm.  I have a vision of him sitting watching along, railing lines of coke, eating a steak and getting angrier and angrier as the show went on.

    ”RICOCHET!!!

    A MULKEY!!

    WHO THE HELL RE-HIRED KROSS!!!”

  4. I’m never messing with, or complaining to, a fast food outlet manager ever again.  Between Gus at El Pollo Loco and Gene at Cinnabon, who knows what side hussles the rest of them have.

    I will buy the ROH PPV if Gresham faces Takeshita.

    Also Nese sold that Orange Punch like a god damned champ.

    Literally came on to post the same, Nese sold that better than anyone I’ve ever seen take a superman punch.

  6. A lot of the issues stem from things outwith TK’s control, but he handles them in such an outside the box manner that it can be jarring.

    Sammy is a prime example of it. As his popularity starts to rise with the fans, he starts to get a push, then does the Sasha comments and gets pulled from TV. 

    He returns, feuds with Matt Hardy, Matt Hardy gets injured. The feud slows down until Matt returns and we eventually get a blow off.

    He then wins the TNT belt and loses to Cody, who almost immediately gets Covid. interim title is brought in. Feud is interrupted until Cody returns.

    He then finally beats Cody and moves onto Scorpio, somewhat taking Cody’s place after Cody departs.

    During this time his relationship with Tay becomes known and for whatever reason fans quickly turn on both, despite Tay being one of the most popular wrestlers and Sammy being very well liked at the time, they are both now hated (and that’s going up against Dan Lambert). So the dynamic changes once again due to no fault of TK’s.

    and that’s just one guy.  TK has had to do a lot of fire fighting in AEW’s short history.  Covid, Brodie’s passing, injuries, Cody’s departure, this MJF thing.

    He must feel like one of this plate spinning guys you would see on talent shows.

    I'm a little surprised that we never got Disco Inferno in WWE either during the invasion or a bit later like a lot of WCW guys. Seems like the kinda of stupid shit Vince loves in an undercard act, and Glen Gillberty always had enough size and physique that I could see vince being sold on him

    Having listened to him on Konnans podcast every week Disco strikes me as a “work smarter not harder” type of guy.  I’m sure he said there had been tentative talks but he wasn’t interested (possible BS), as he preferred to work a lighter schedule for decent money.

    Disco was always fun in WCW, his feud / team with Alex Wright was great undercard stuff.  His last Impact run was also a real highlight.  I try to not let his Twitter trolling cloud my judgement, but it’s exceptionally difficult. He can be insufferable.

    Who are four CURRENT wrestlers that encapsulates what you enjoy as a fan? Your ~style~ of wrestling fandom derp. Not including your absolute favorite (assuming you have a living GOAT) 

    Penta - weirdo Lucha goth/brawlers are something I can always get behind, see also Super Dragon, Ultramantis Black, Delirious.

    Brock - the best of the big bad ass ass kickers around

    Dustin - grizzled old vet who still goes hard

    FTR - best proponent of old school tag team wrestling
