New Japan is coming to Seattle in January.

About ten or so years back a heated discussion about Billy Gunns punches stated here. Punches are taken seriously on the DVDVR Message Boards.

I fell asleep but I saw Danielson vs Bowen and the Punk-Eddie confrontation. Holy shit both were awesome.

Brat would be a cool surprise. The crowd would lose their collective shit. If they are going with Bray they’d be smart not to say anything until the time comes. Do a lights out gimmick or the such. Cassidy is a guy who will have no problem recovering from the lose to a guy debuting. AEW doesn’t do hot shot booking much if at all but this may be an exception to the rule. Plus Bray vs Danielson at Full Gear would be cool.

Black vs Martin absolutely ruled, this slow build towards Duante winning the big one has been so fun to watch. When he finally wins a “big one” that crowd is gonna pop so loud.

I thought the show was really cool. Top to bottom some really good wrestling. Page returning and winning felt really special.

I’d like to see a Trios Championship with Lucha rules i.e. 2 out of 3 falls leaving the ring to the floor counts as a tag etc. There’s so man Trios already on the roster and AEW is hip on 6 man matches why not create an actual division for it.

I was watching Rampage last night, after watching that ladies triple threat I think Cargill is the next opponent for Britt Baker atleast should be. That was my take away from Jade big booting Rosa in the face and getting the 1-2-3. I think Cargill is ready for a title program he’ll I’d have her pin Baker at Full Gear for the title

A Rhodes should never trust an Anderson that’s all I’m gonna say on the Cody stuff. Adam Cole always came off as a dork to me In ROH, I didn’t see much of him in NXT but him against Kaz two weeks ago abs this match against Jungle Boy holy shit this dude is fucking killer in the ring and comes off like a Super Star.

Dynamite looked awesome in Arthur Ashe Stadium. It added to how great the show was. Did anyone think Sting was gonna have a career resurgence in 2021 after 6 years out of the ring?

I love that AEW can get angles across with little 30 second to 2 minute pre tapes. It’s a simple but effective device wrestler a and wrestler b cut promos over over footage of what they are referencing. They get to the point and get out of there.

I knew he did something. That was pre Covid, I’m lucky to even remember something had happened it seemed so long ago in the before time.

Cody blew his knee out hitting that moonsault off the top of it against Wardlow

ALL IN was three years ago today and Dynamites back where it all started.

Man should’ve been at The Scope that’s a pro wrestling landmark.

Is the Norfolk show at The Scope?

Tommy Dreamer is truly one of the good guys in wrestling.

This picture was posted on Twitter there’s speculation that it’s Bray Wyatt or Windham Rotunda if you’re into using Government names

Thanks and I’m sorry for your losses too. It really sucks. But man was Punks return really cool. I’ve been vocal on here about how I didn’t think Punk in AEW would work and how it’s be out of place and akin to Warrior in WCW but boy was I wrong. That crowd went apeshit. Punk looked to be genuinely taken aback by that reception and seemed like he was sincere that he’s back to make a difference, he put over Britt Baker, set up a match with Darby Allin and it was all completely awesome.

I’m gonna get a little personal but a buddy of mine passed away Thursday in the ICU after a two plus week fight with Covid. Punks debut and that crowd losing their shit helped me forget about it and just be in the moment for 20 minutes and I didn’t know I needed it until it was happening so thank you AEW thank you Punk and thank you Chicago.

The Kenny and Christian match was really good but I can’t help but think Impact left money on the table not running Kenny vs White at BFG for the belt.

I don't watch MTV, the channel fell off around 07-08 when they finally decided to completely step away from showing any music on their Channel and don't get me started on MTV2 I love Martin and the Wayans Bros as much as the next person but thats all thats seems to air on MTV2 nowadays. MTV2 was lowkey one of the better cable channels of the early/mid aughts cuz no one in charge was paying attention.

MTV's The Challenge is a big competitor of AEW's in the 18-49 Demo. In it's season premiere it drew 494k in that Demo, 660k in total. AEW drew 454k in the 18-49 Demo. The real Wednesday Night Wars is between AEW and MTV's The Challenge.

I can't find a good picture of it but the Legends of the Hidden Temple set that was used for the first 4 episodes of Thunder. I hope the two pictures I've found do the set justice.

I've found footage of Eaton and Randy Orton teaming together Also heres the aforementioned Randy Savage match And the Midnight Express Reunion in early ROH
