  1. Oh…. right!
  2. Well I came in here ready to compare the over kill of a top rope brain buster not being an MDK finish to QT MarSHALL having the nerve to even use a tombstone piledriver. But y’all seem ok with it so I’ve decided to change my mind. Fucking great match with PAC and Dax. I will smoke one in its honor today. The more Andrade hangs out with Black. The darker his color scheme gets. Bring on Goth el Idolo! I’m ready to see Dan Lambert pin Jericho. Paraphrasing: “We’ve banned The Dark Order and The Elite from the building and we think this is a good idea.” Crowd: “Boooo! Boo your good idea!” The Trios match was really great and set up the title match just fine. “Respect don’t mean shit.” Jungle Boy acknowledged his promo studders. Probably shouldn’t sell that. But the middle finger/submission was tops. I guess the real challenge of Full Gear isn’t to convince anyone that Adam Page can be a worthy champion. They’ve already done that. We want it. The real challenge is The Young Bucks to win the haters over to loving their match, in spite of themselves. I love you AEW.
  3. When he said that Omega was fucking Riho as an explanation for why she was in AEW. I was so out. Fuck Cornette.
  4. That article made my day. Shitty mood can fuck off, now.
  5. There was this one match Inoki had with Vader at the Dome. Inoki could have sandbagged him all he wanted in a Vader German Suplex. No matter. Inoki went up and got super killed. To this day, one of wrestling’s most satisfying bumps.
  6. If Lambert gets the pin? He is Danny Davis, not Bobby Heenan. ?
  7. There was a lot of good camera work tonight. Two Jungle Boy spots during the big brawl. Darby’s cactus clothesline… all top notch stuff. I think Omega/Angels was my MOTN. It’s nice to see Alan evolve from fratboy punching bag to someone who should be taken more seriously. The commentary did good work here. I continue to love what AEW is putting down week after week. I cannot wait for the PPV. I love you AEW.
  8. It would certainly be weird to NOT put Hangman over. When considering all the time and effort that’s been put into bringing him around from the loss to Jericho. There are a fair amount of good to great choices to go with that we’re not on the table prior to AEW putting Page in this path. But putting my booking hat on here. I’m going for it with him as champ.
  9. It’s been a long long time. But you’re both correct.
  10. I could get into that idea. I think part of my concern of any Hangman title defense being dwarfed by the eventual Omega/Bryan rematch on the same card, might be a bit over blown. In WWE that result would be almost predictable regardless of the quality of the matches. AEWs execution, even in wrestling cliches isn’t a guarantee to draw the same result. They’re AEW. It’s just not the same. Back to your point. Homicides build up to the ROH Title in 06 was pretty great. Then he lost it almost immediately to Nigel IIRC. So there is some focus there. Goddamn. Why not have Hangman get mauled ON a regular episode of Dynamite too? Just to make sure everyone sees it.
  11. Wow. All these years. Never saw him actually pin somebody.
  12. So… Is there any acceptable and satisfactory booking that has Omega going over and keeping the title? Hangman going over, being the hero, and winning the belt after the build up it has… is perfect. However, Omega IS the better opponent on the other side if Bryan wins the tournament. Moxley, on the other hand. Him winning the tournament is very interesting. Especially given he is basically The Amazon from NES Pro Wrestling now. He hasn’t officially turned heel yet. But it seems in the works and it would suggest on paper he’d eat Page alive. Moxley’s promos giving his perspective on Hangman’s last year and a half I can see hitting the red line. I’m just uncertain if Page need be booked like an underdog as champion right out of the gate after he “gains his confidence” back. Meanwhile, Omega vs. Bryan for the title is over there looking like the biggest possible match in the business. We ARE anticipating a rematch at some point.
  13. If someone mentioned it before I missed it. If you look closely at the MJF segment. When he does the STING fake out. It looks as if Wardlow wasn’t clued in on the prank. So when MJF is parading around telling everyone how stupid they are for falling for it. The big man looked like he took ANOTHER grudge to hold.
  14. I thought the Cody promo was pretty great. My instincts are telling me this IS going somewhere interesting. However, I’m willing to recant should it not. The rest of the show continued to reinforce my excitement for this promotion and the overall direction it is going in. I really don’t need WWE anymore. I love you, AEW.
  15. I guess I don’t have the same problem with Cody that so many of you do. But I do see that there are some problems. I just can’t place them specifically. Because if this really is a 4D chess thing and Cody is setting his character up for a big moment? A lot of these criticisms may end up pointless in hindsight. That being said. I enjoyed the shit out of this show as I often do. Bryan kicked some ass. Jungle Boy showed some big Dick energy. The Bucks and Cole showed lots of small Dick energy. Brandon Cutler is great in his role. I love you AEW. You’re my only hope.
  16. Today a customer asked me: “Are you human?” No idea why. I'll just state for the record. More fucked up shit happens to me when I'm sober as opposed to when I'm not. Just sayin.
  17. Victory Roll off the shoulders.
  18. 1st title defense. I could see Bryan putting him over, perhaps in his first actual loss.
  19. Yeah. That is me driving too.
  20. Not much in AEW goes to waste. So you might be on to something. You would have thought Yuta had been booked in a Queens Crown match it was over so quick. Missed the Malakai match because I got home late. Bummed. Waltzed in during the Lambert/IC promo battle. Seemed good. Since I know almost nothing about current Lucha (and I’m trying out this new vape pen). I almost bought FTRs Conquistadors gimmick as legit. Smooth move unmasking them right away as historically this shit gets dragged out for at least a few weeks. Punk gets the “Saba Simba Award” for making the call before they did. Si! Got the sense that Bryan was looking to add an additional finisher to his move set using the ultra torque heel hook. Might as well. He even got a decent pop for it when he used it against Jericho in that NXT match a bazillion years ago.
  21. I saw Tay/Santana and thought it was terrible. Garrett did not perform well here at all. Damn, she was slow and looked like she got lost a time or two. Matt/Punk was a lot of fun where both guys looked really good. I can see MS being somewhat elevated here even with the loss. By now clout and winning streak should get Punk a next level opponent. Maybe Cody, soon? I’m lukewarm on Bobby Fish. Moriarty looked great. Match was fine. I’ll watch the rest later when the family isn’t nagging me to go on a goddamn hay ride. I love you AEW.
  22. I went to bed after AmDrag/Suzuki. That’s really all I needed so anything afterwards could wait. Great match, of course. They didn’t go outside the ring. There were no 2 counts that I recall. There was no finisher spamming at all. While I’m not exactly putting my flag in the hill saying I’m against those things. The absence made this match really stand out. Now I gotta look up the rest of the show.
  23. Saw Mox/Gage on YouTube and after reading the results of the rest of the show. Sounds like GCW really might have some legs to it. They keep catching my attention without my really trying.
  24. Main Events in any arena in the world.
  25. “What are you going to do? Shoot me?” Legit had me laughing for the next 20 minutes. Reminds me of that meme a few years ago. Stabbing Victim: “”What are you going to do? Stab me?” Its something of a Rorschach test. But yeah… “Hos”. Great 8 man tag. A crazy ladder match. A very surprising upset for Deeb. Fuck your trophy. Was Proud and Powerful taking a shit during the ATT brawl? I love you AEW.
