Sami's lets go and Cody's whoa are the arbiters of how hot a crowd is in 2023.

Reading your write up about flair's arc, it makes me wonder how much of that was intentional vs flair's legit frustration with Bisch coming out on screen

I don't have much to say but Dean is the type of wrestling fan I always wanted to be. His posts always brought me joy and honestly in the current environment the world is in, that's good enough. ~! Dean. You will be missed ~!

TNA Bentley bounce?

Oh yeah. I feel you. There is lots of shit that was over at the time but honestly looking at it though the lense of today without a nostalgia filter, and with morning way more than we might have back then... That being said, i love your reviews

From my weed/xtc addled memory. Piper was over as fuck during that bit. ICON and his hip taunt were just as common among my friends as crotch chops.

The 4/24/23 episode of Bob's burgers os wrestling themed. It needs to be in Dean's best free matches of the week.

I'm not mad at the raw title. Once Cody lost at mania, i figured we were going for Hogan's record at 1474 bare minimum. Now that being said. With the benefit of hindsight, i can say that everything up til the final 3 count was awesome with the Cody/Roman story. Everything with Sami and Jey is still compelling to me. Even Cody on his own has been good to great at being the #1 babyface in a heel promotion. I do hope that they dont go for 1474 amd Roman drops the titles at mania 40, or Roman starts tweaking his formula to keep it fresh, adding some more controlling offense to hia arsenal to fill in some of his pacing depending on opponents. That said. Push Xavier Woods!

Same!

I don't know why, but you saying Made me burst into laughter

House shows are awesome. I went to one last year when they were in Oakland CA.

I would have popped if under Cody's Homelander style jacket he had on polka dots.

Other than being bummed Cody lost, im actually really interested in how they keep Roman strong, and compelling for another year. I enjoyed the fat guy moonsault, i loved the meat bumping festival complete with using a mfer to hit another mfer. Also, i knew Cody wasn't winning when they fucked up his Woah.

I saw that RKO in person! Good Times Good Times.

DQ/no contest is my guess into holla holla trios match?

I took Japanese in college(i failed) but i know enough to infer. Same with high school Spanish and lucha commentary.

I've not gone out of my way to watch most of the legendary puro matches of guys like Misawa or Kobashi. I've enjoyed reading @Matt Ds runs through the older stuff. It helps me understand the legends behind what made tje newer Noah stuff I watched (coz of KENTA and Marufuji)

Sonya DeVille was the gun carrier

If you haven't watched it, check out the wwe 2k23 live stream vid from yesterday, the last like 15-20 minutes is Breeze and woods basically having a mini interview with Stone cold.

Jey's face when Sami said "you wanted to hit Roman" that 'this fucker is right but I'm still mad about it' face was perfect. Holy shit this story is so fuckin fun and good and everything that a story told through the lens of pro wrestling should be.

Honestly, thinking on it. Most of even the worst folks actively working on S/A/B tier promotions are mostly just green. There are very few vets working who are sub replacement level these days

Why did my brain animate this?

Santino or Scott Hall style sell could work to

I'm just glad that it can easily be inferred that Jimmy is Jey's shatter point. He didn't choose Roman over Sami, he chose Jimmy. And Solo. I can actually see a world where Sami gets through to Jey (through taking the tag titles) which lets Jey bring down Roman. Which brings us full circle and starts the next leg if the journey

For a long time I thought Michael Cole was Todd pettingil. I thought it was a doc Hendrix thing.
