The Green Meanie

TERRIBLE announcer. The duo of him and Superstar Billy Graham was one of the worst of all time.

I miss it so much.

Uh, that hype video at the end was a time filler, wasn't it? "That was the main event, and there's still 15 minutes left in the show...."

This was a fun, but super difficult one! Top 5 - William Regal, Greg Valentine, Wade Barrett, Demolition Mount Rushmore - Vince McMahon, Jim Cornette, Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan (a troubled lot, I know) The Magi - Stan Hansen, Andre The Giant, Bruiser Brody Magic & Bird - Bret Hart vs. Owen Hart GOAT - Macho Man Randy Savage

I REALLY hope this isn't the eventual outcome. The Elite as a whole are just so thoroughly unenjoyable to be festooned upon us. Other then LOL IT'S HORNSWAGGLE, that would probably be the worst solution.

That Yuta interview was brilliant. They dropped subtle hints showing that he's not fully vested in this, and that he had to do it for different reasons. It definitely added something to the angle.

The WHOLE Nexus debacle.

Don't forget HOB. For the face side, are we counting the FTRunners yet?

Interesting dynamic tonight; Yuta refused to attack Chuck. Is this because of his past with The Best Friends (Chuck was nice to him as opposed to Trent) or more because they still haven't fully turned him yet? Also, where was Pac?

I thoroughly enjoyed Mox & Company tonight. They're really making them look like the superstars they really are. Intriguing bit by Tony calling them "The Deathriders, or whatever they are...." will be interesting to see if that's the new name they're going to come up with. Something else I noticed - So far, Mox has only been attacking AEW Originals (minus Bryan). He's made several quotes about "this place", "burning the forest down", etc. Minus Yuta, all members are ex-WWE wrestlers. Is there a possible connection/angle there?

Hhhhhhhh.....this is a subject that gets to me at times, I've got a couple of things we never got: - What did Tazz say/do to convince Hobbs to join Team Tazz? - What happened to Tazz's ongoing litigation toward Dante Martin? - Speaking of Hobbs, what exactly was the reasoning behind Mox wanting to team up with him and Darby that one time? Mox gave a great speech about Hobbs that sounded like he knew more about him by more then just watching his matches; I was very intrigued where that was possibly going to go. - They never pulled the trigger on Hangman joining The Dark Order, and subsequently, The Dark Order never got to mention to Hangman what a BAD FRIEND HE IS. For stuff that hasn't happened yet and still could: - Will MJF ever get his comeuppance on The Undisputed Kingdom? It seems like they've pivoted and tried to make Adam Cole sympathetic, but we don't have short memories on things like this. - BCC/Pac - Jack Perry, Luchasaurs/Killswitch & Christian. I know this is on hold due Killswitch's medical issues, they met briefly once but one or both of them have to acknowledge Perry's new behavior. Christian has an opportunity to tell people that he was right about Perry all along and that he was rotten back when he was a face, and that he really was telling the truth. We still don't know what exactly Christian holds over Killswitch, because everytime it looks like Killswitch is going to turn, something stops him. Christian once whispered something in his ear during what I thought was the strongest moment which stopped him, and we still don't know what that was.

This. As I pointed out earlier, none of this (including, possibly, the fight between Mox and Bryan) happens if Death Triangle doesn't go by the wayside. That would work if the average AEW fan is a fan of NXT. I know it exists, but I only watched seasons 1-3 of the initial series. That might be relying on folks to go back further then they can (if they're even aware) EXACTLY this. Someone mentioned that part of Claudio's motivation is Bryan forgiving Eddie after all these years despite Claudio's warnings, which makes sense story-wise for Claudio, but Pac's still has a huge hole in it.

A couple of things - Are they still the BCC? They really haven't mentioned any other name for this group since this whole thing started, but BCC references have been removed from entrance videos. Will we ever get an explanation as to why they let Pac work with them? I get him wanting to work with them (initially) because he wanted the Trios belts again, but given his past flakiness with the group I'm puzzled that it hasn't been brought up already in some way. I'm not fully convinced this was a full-blown turn by Yuta. It seemed to be more of a mercy killing, similar to Mox having to be the one to retire him, if anyone was going to bag him it would have to have been Yuta. Apparently it's been revealed the whole BCC storyline has been written by RJ City. Bravo! Elsewhere - I saw that Adam Cole came back. There was no reference to the Undisputed Kingdom during his return? Is he still the leader? Also, did everyone forget that he screwed MJF and is the bad guy, not the other way around? MJF getting his full comeuppance on them HAS TO happen, the whole story will be for naught if they don't correct all this.

I can't disagree more. I absolutely love Hobbs, and Wardlow would just bring him down.

Just caught up on last week's Collision. Huge shout out to Daddy Magic for the Felipe Alou reference!

Sorry, but I'm never going to believe that scrubs like Private Party and Kommander are ever going to have a chance against the BCC, no matter what the situation. I also hope Bryan wasn't going to team up with them but it was just rather because they were all out there. Excalibur saying Nigel said "thank you" was an interesting take. Mariah is booooooooring. I don't care for her or for Mina. NEVER SHOW TAZZ CRYING! It opened up a onion cutting factory at my house.

Wife and I binged the whole thing last night. I didn't hear/learn anything really new, but wife really digged it cause she hasn't really been following the story very much. I was SHOCKED that Hulk finally admitted that he ratted out Jesse Ventura. Hulk and Austin really look bad coming out of this. Needless to say, Vince's defense on some things were not the angles I was expecting him to take. (I said the following multiple times:)

That was some god damn heart-wrenching television there. Yuta as a man just GUTTED legit tore at my heart. The BCC situation as-is is just so messed up right now, I don't want them to fight, but it's also damn compelling television.

Oh! That's something else I wanted to mention! I'm glad they FINALLY acknowledged The Dark Order pointing out that Hangman is a BAD FRIEND, but I wish they had done more other then what Uno had said.

So BCC turned on Bryan because he got soft and went against Lord Regal's teachings. It wasn't the angle I was expecting, but I can see it working. That, in turn, brought us to why Mox wanted to speak with Darby. He wants Darby's title shot so he can be the one to retire Bryan. That makes sense again. Pac came out with them but Yuta did not. They didn't attack Yuta which makes me believe that they're going to eventually force him to choose which way he's going to go, especially since he's still 1/3 of the Trios Champions. Something that I realized after the show, however.... Would any of this have happened if The Lucha Brothers had re-signed? If Death Triangle is still intact then there would have been no reason for Pac to gravitate toward the BCC. My household erupted in cheering once we heard/saw The Outrunners come out, and even more so for that fleeting moment we thought they'd win that match. I hope AEW is fully aware of how over they are and act accordingly, eventually. Once I saw Nigel demand to talk to CD about Tony Khan I knew exactly where they were going to go with it. And by jove, they pulled it off! We had heard rumors about Nigel training for one last match, against Bryan, and I'm happy to see it.

I don't trust anyone that doesn't.

Close but no cigar!

I didn't watch the show but caught the Cultaholic recap. I'm not sure I understand; for the syringe spot, was it (implied) what exactly was IN the syringe? Like was it supposed to be novacaine or some type of numbing agent or what exactly? I'm fairly upset about the BCC implosion. If it was going to happen, the way it got divided surely WASN'T the way that we had predicted how it turned out, apparently. So now it's Mox/Claudio/PAC(?!)/Marina?

I love The Outrunners even more (somehow). I read an article earlier today that mentioned they're now the new #1 t-shirt sellers in the company. I *think* that they tried to get me to boo Mox due to him attacking The Outrunners, but my love for the BCC just won't allow that.
