He can do a 450. He's not unathletic. He looks and wrestles like a dirt bag because he's doing a dirtbag character. He did say he'd been having depression issues for a lot of 2019 & 2020, and then got mad because dirt sites tried to spin it as he's not happy in AEW. But judging him just on AEW, BTE and Cornette, you're not getting close to the actual picture.

People hate him because other people love him. He had some great matches in CZW, GCW and Beyond, fans of those promotions started saying he was this super charismatic great worker, and then he showed up in AEW and was underwhelming.

And also: Dammit Mauro, let the moment have it's moment.

I liked the bit where after the TV show finished but the Fite feed was still live, you could hear TK saying "Fucking nailed it. Fucking nailed it!"

I haven't got instagram. That was a guess. You still haven't apologised for stealing my prediction. Which happens to be the only one you've ever gotten right.

I predict that the opening match tonight will be Cody vs Janela. Shadow don't know shit.

And furthermore:

Can't link from my phone. His twitter is at SHOTO_Design

Raven putting over Stephen Moffat and mostly refusing to discuss Wrestling.

We got a @Mookieghana sighting on Dark. He was in the crowd, on the heel side. Tony and Cody even acknowledged him. These matches were all fun. I suspect they were filmed on the assumption they'd be on Dynamite, before it went back live.

It's a kind of two promotions for the price of one deal. If it's this logo, it's family friendly: Whereas with this one, it's adults-only:

Sammy Guevara & Ricky Starks vs Mop & Broom

Surely it's "The Reward is worth the Risk"?

We finally got the Cena heel turn!

So Cody Hall didn't fall far from the tree: But also:

Random thought: With Jushin Liger retiring four months ago, was he the last Wrestler in the business who had in their career, during a match, received a Public Warning? Because they only existed in British Wrestling, and were pretty much phased out after WoS was cancelled in 1988. I know German Wrestling for a while had the Yellow Card/ Red Card system, which was similar to public warnings but different. But I think Liger might have been the last, unless Skull Murphy un-retired again or something.

Black Tiger (1) vs Jushin Liger. Only it's not. It's Rollerball Rocco vs Fuji Yamada. In Reslo!

The first season of Big Brother in the world was in the Netherlands, in 1999.

In terms of ex-WWE wrestlers adapting to a new style, I'd say the more training & experience they have outside of the WWE system, the better chance they have of thriving under different styles. If Mox or a guy like Hero or Tyler Black had retired instead of signing with Titan, that would have been a pretty good career. Whereas if you've only learned to do one style one way (and deeply indoctrinated that this is the best and only way), you're going to have a hard time breaking that programming. On a different note, if I had the book, I'd book Gunn Club vs Jungle Boy & Marko Stunt, and have the finish be Marko pinning Billy clean in the middle. Establish that the reason he's willing to go one on one with monster sized guys is because he thinks he can beat them (and isn't delusional in that thought).

I watched a bunch of movies too. Inadvertently similar ones back to back. So having watched San Andreas, I then watched Pompeii, which is also a disaster movie sort of. It was better than San Andreas because SA just had an Earthquake and a Tsunami, whereas Pompeii had a Volcano, and an Earthquake and Tsunami as well, so that's better. Paul W S Anderson gets a lot of stick for how his movies are not very good but this one is actually alright. I mean, it's not fantastic or anything but it's ok. Kit Harrington('s body double?) is in really good shape. Then I watched The Bourne Accountancy... no, wait. The Accountant starring Ben Affleck as Jason Bourne if he was an accountant for criminals. And Affleck is the last person you'd expect to be ripping of the Bourne films considering he's supposed to be Matt Damon's best mate and everything. Even though they haven't actually worked together in years, not co starred, not cameoed, nothing. If you think having autism makes you a superhero, this is the movie for you. Great cast, but it's one of those movies that tries to be all clever and plot twisty and I bet you didn't see this coming, but then has it all hinge on lucky coincidences. And then, randomly I also watched Equalizer 2. I agree, not as good as the first one. The thing about it is, the James Bond-before-the-credits type of scenes and the sidequests midway through are more interesting and engagjng than the main plot.
