The Natural

Meltzer: - The big story was the Tony Khan appearance on the NFL Network promoting AEW, where he called WWE a really evil juggernaut and the Harvey Weinstein of pro wrestling. Right now I wish he wouldn't go in that direction. I wish WWE wouldn't either. But neither is going to happen. I know Khan believes this engagement is good, but I don't think that's the case. He could get away with calling Vince "Weinstein" but calling the full company that is an issue that will cause a ton of blowback. The hosts on the show weren't expecting it and were not comfortable with it. It's too bad they didn't use some of the talent in some form as NFL teams have used WWE talent in the draft public selections.

Little chance of that happening. I find Will Ospreay overrated. One of those heavily hyped things you find yourself in the minority on. Fair enough to those who do like him. Only things going for him with me is Elevated and the Hidden Blade.

You've probably seen these in chronological order: Pete Dunne vs. Tyler Bate. NXT TakeOver: Chicago. *****. WALTER vs. Pete Dunne. NXT TakeOver: New York. WALTER vs. Tyler Bate. NXT UK TakeOver: Cardiff. *****. WALTER vs. Tyler Bate is a must see.

I fucked up! I fucked up!

Started swimming in April 2023 for the first time in 25 years. I used floats for that reason even though I know how to swim. It's now a year and today was one of my best. Met a supportive lass today, she's also begun again. All but one person there is encouraging. This was my first Friday steady swim ever. There's a Monday, Tuesday and Friday. I gather from other people there it's very busy on a Monday, quieter on the Tuesday but that snide cow is there who I'm too nice to tell to fuck off and a Friday which I'd say is between the two.

Saw Jodie on Tuesday and liked her. Will see her again next month.

Meltzer's ******1/2 for Ospreay vs. Danielson is the highest star rating for an AEW match ever toppling Omega/Page vs Young Bucks at AEW Revolution 2020, ******.

Cheers for this, mate. Much appreciated. Think I'll have to order this, it'll be my first wrestling figure since a kid. I keep my figures in the packaging but looking at the pictures, you can do that. Can you, Nick? If not, I'll take it out. I'd definitely have to put buzz cut Bryan Danielson head on. When I think of Bryan Danielson, it's ROH buzz cut Bryan Danielson from 2005-2007, The New Daniel Bryan in WWE and Bryan Danielson in AEW.

You've the reverse Midas touch ;).

Can't see Manchester City slipping up to four Premier League titles in a row. Two horse race between Manchester City and Arsenal but Arsenal need City to drop points.

Yes and hope so. GYV should have won the NXT Tag Team Championship and Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.

https://www.f4wonline.com/news/aew/aew-dynamite-draws-lowest-viewership-since-january-2021 Wednesday night's Dynasty fallout edition of AEW Dynamite averaged 683,000 viewers on TBS. That's down 10.4 percent from last week and marks the lowest audience total the show has done in its regular time slot since January 6, 2021, an episode that took place on the same day as the United States Capitol riot. Dynamite drew a 0.23 rating in the 18-49 demo, down 11.5 percent from last week. It matches the lowest rating the show has done in that category on a Wednesday night since June 24, 2020. It should be noted that the episode aired live on the West Coast (outside of prime time) and experienced audio issues. It also went head-to-head with the NBA playoffs. --- Fuck.
