  1. Walt died. Mike died. Gus died. Jesse made it to Alaska. Skyler cut a deal. 

    All that shit, and none of them ended up behind bars. 

    Frankly, I think that's where Gene's headed. Regardless, I definitely want to know what happens to him. 

    Also, the episode where Kim left Jimmy is BCS's Ozymandias. We're in the epilogue of this world at large now. I think that's pretty huge.

  2. Damn, that's a book-yourself-into-a-corner match if I've ever seen one and I'm here for it. 

    Takeshita vs Mox is going to be something else. This and the Kingston match make it clear that Takeshita is looked at as a player in AEW, which fucking RULES.

  3. Anna Jay, Skye Blue, Britt Baker, Thunder Rosa, Tay Conti and Abadon to Japan. 

    The Ass Boys in a time machine back to Memphis in the 80s or 90s. 

    Dante Martin to Mexico and Japan. 

    I'd sent Britt and Rosa over because they try to do things that are physically out of their reach at times, Britt especially. Maybe some time in the Stardom dojo would help. 

    There is a noticeable difference in execution from Toni Storm and Jamie Hayter to just about everyone else on the women's roster.

    Royal Rampage was kinda disappointing aside from the incredible visual of Brody choking a limp Darby for the elimination. I get that if you want to elevate guys like Brody and KOR you have to give them Ws, but nobody believed either had a god damn chance against Mox so they just feel really flat as choices imo.

    Nick getting in some greedy cool spots with the double ring set-up. Beautiful.

    Storm/Rose was pretty good too.

    Here's the thing: 

    Brody winning the Royal Rampage could very well lead to Mox vs Black and BCC vs House of Black, which will rule. Hard.

  5. I'd been waiting to see a War Games match live since 1987. 

    I'm glad that was the one. I was damn near up in the nosebleeds, so I missed a lot of stuff, but I dl'd the show as soon as I got home. 

    FTRHausen was SUCH a cool surprise. Dax and Cash's lockups are a goddamn marvel when you see 'em live. 

    I could go on, but I gotta work in the morning. 

    Professional wrestling is the fucking coolest.

  6. It's a confluence of things:

    Punk and Bryan being injured. 
    MJF not being on the shows. 
    Two back to back tournaments, one of which is for a belt that AEW really doesn't need and the other being won by people who didn't need to. 
    The biggest narrative hook, Eddie vs Jericho, has been muddied. 
    NJPW is cold in the states and we're not getting Okada or Naito, and possibly not Bryan vs. Sabre, Jr. 
    The Ring of Honor purchase. 

    Frankly, the booking really hasn't been that great since the Punk vs MJF blowoff. Tony has taken on too much and is also booking things that really just aren't working.

  7. That was a fantastic hour of our great sport.

    Eddie Kingston is #1. 

    Jamie Hayter didn't do the DMD sign, so that means Britt's gettin' brainbustered into the necrosphere. 

    Statlander looked like a million goddamn dollars. 

    Uncle Dax rules. So does Cash. That's how you work the apron, folks. 

    ...it's also why Will Ospreay can grab his jacket and fuck off back to Zoobilee Zoo.

  8. I loved Kyle O'Reilly back in the "Coming down the aisle playing air guitar on the belt" period of the Undisputed Era. 

    I still like him. 

    I'm just sick to death of the Undisputed Era/Elite. It's been, what, four years? It's time to move on. 

    It's definitely a guilt by association thing. When Adam Cole has been at the forefront for this long and wins the Owen when he really didn't need it, and the Undisputed crew has had SO much screen time over the last four years, it's just too damn much. 

    Get them away from each other and don't run back the Kyle/Cole feud. Just let it be done.

  10. So Walt's still the only one who gives a shit about the rules. 

    Just watched the main event. Yeah. We're watching that again. And again. 

    Also. 

    ALSO. 

    I just found out about Blood and Guts in Detroit. 

    I have tickets and I can't wait to tell my friends that we get to see it live. 

    Wrestling is so goddamn awesome.
