Not surprising but Ali-Austin was fun while it lasted.

I totally agree. At this point, it's time just to tell INTERESTING stories instead of lurid ones. The well is running dry.

I actually got a bigger kick out of Mark asking the team what they'd spend their share of the 400K on and Speedball excitedly shouts, "SHOES"

That promo by Ospreay/Bailey/Knight/Briscoe was a green screen thing, right?

Jarrett and Dustin are frantically trying to explain gimmicked purses to TK

They get all of the GCW shows if that does anything for you.

There's no question that Tony is carny enough to have legit given the eight-man winners the money, right?

Wells caught an outlet pass from Ja Morant and went up to dunk the ball, when the Hornets' KJ Simpson inadvertently undercut him after trying to catch up to the play. The contact caused Wells to lose his balance while in the air and land awkwardly on his side as his head slammed against the court near the baseline. "It's tough. I threw the pass and turned around and was doing our little touchdown celebration. When I got there, the first thing I saw was blood, and I've got a weak stomach," Morant said. "We've just got to stay with him and keep praying for him. It's next man up. Obviously that hurts. Guys will just have to be ready." Probably shouldn't shoot anyone if you've got a weak stomach, Ja.

There were some sloppy moments early to mid-match for sure, but the timing by Shugars and Evans on that rope pull and slip that led to the finish was pretty much perfect. That sequence looked great.

I was trying to listen on the MLB app but it would randomly jump to some sports talk that seemed to be national and not a local show. I had assumed it was a WSCR thing at first since I was listening to the Cubs feed but the same thing was happening when I switched to the A's feed, and their announcers acknowledged an issue when the game came back. Very weird.

The Rays should have released an April Fool's agreement announcement just to troll everyone.

That poisonrana spot on the floor could have gone so poorly for both people. I think it was meant to be snuck out of, just not botched to that extent.

He might be there stalking Kool Kyle.

At least this got us the Halloween Havoc match with the original fake Sting.

I have a coworker from up that way who heard me make a Buddy Rose reference years ago and immediately started talking about Don Owen and Portland Wrestling.

I'm sure this has been mentioned before but it really makes it hard to take Hank and Tank seriously when they look so much like WCW-era Public Enemy. Maybe that's intentional.

Might that be more like Mania week where they're just taking advantage of proximal fans rather than trying to cut into AEW's business?

It definitely hasn't been as prolific as the pictures with Cora and Roxanne but I at least remember him taking some photos with Trick.

Bron doesn't seem to have much of a sense of humor.

My only ballpark rasslin show featured Honky Tonk Man squashing someone and a main event with like 8 face/heel turns in a one-on-one match.

And ridiculous gear like this, which I do own: 59FIFTY Bacon Biscuit Cap – Montgomery Biscuits

Good of them to get a recent photo of Severn.

I never had a source for Memphis when I was growing up outside of what I'd see every once in a while on PWTW when I'd stay with my grandparents. I had to imagine all of this crazy stuff just from reading the Apter mags. Watching the videos as an adult, I am not let down.

Man, I remember seeing Cemetery Gates for the first time on Headbanger's Ball and just becoming obsessed with Cowboys from Hell.

It was definitely a fun option with some room to grow. The little character notes they'd pop up (SWIPE RIGHT LIKES TO HANG OUT WITH THE LADIES) were rather annoying but you have to start somewhere with the presentation. I was very happy that they didn't act like any of these people started their career with episode 1 of EVOLVE - leaving names (for the most part) untouched and acknowledging their histories was a really fresh take.
