Dirty J.

I like Hobbs, but Silas Young jobbing in a squash is a damn shame.

Claudio manhandling one of the Boys was awesome. Waste of a Dalton Castle appearance, but the segment was pretty cool.

Lackluster episode of Rampage. I did however watched it in the dead of night with my newborn baby girl resting on my chest, so oddly enough it was a memorable episode.

Does AEW still do time limit draws? I found it quite refreshing in the beginning.

Does AEW still allow their wrestlers to do indy bookings? I like the fact they can rotate their guys to keep them fresh on TV and perhaps a bit more injury free. Lance Archer is a good example, you can feature him in the main-event as a top TV feud. He’s big and imposing enough that you don’t have to build him up every time. On the other hand you need regular top guys on your roster to engage the audience.

Hook has the best entrance music in AEW.

I like Dynamite, but Rampage is my jam. I’d prefer a tiny bit more storyline progression for the main storylines, but it’s a dope show for the tag and b-titles. An hour of wrestling just hits my sweet spot.

Honestly who in the division can beat Islam at this point? I have a feeling the influx of dagestani fighters is eventually going to paint the UFC in a corner. Too dominant for most fighters on the roster, won’t fight each other and not really marketable for Western audiences. At least that is my take, what the hell do I know, not trying to make this political.

What a show! Top to bottom, just good. OC and Pac ruled and can “fight forever”. Every encounter was great between these two.

Those weren’t “Dutch” fans. ? Overeem definitely had a mma stance throughout the fight. Buddy of mine does strength and conditioning training with Overeem and the man is a fucking animal. It was also the difference maker in round 2 and 3. Hari just looked old and gassed out.

Goddang what a show, I kind of missed out on all the backstage dramas, but luckily for them there are still a ton of amazing wrestlers to carry the company. Only negative that I have is that the Best Friends don’t seem to catch a break. Maybe if Chucky T shows a little bit more personality (which he definitely has) they could carry the faction to the next level. I’m kind of glad they ditched Wheeler and Statlander, they are a solid trios team that always gets a reaction from the crowd (and AEW og’s).

Goddamn, can we just appreciate for a second that we had a Nick Gage death match and a barbwired death match in this promotion for free. Fuck, I love this promotion.

Fenix vs Andrade was just amazing, but here is my silly nitpick about Fenix: his mask. Its design is just not marketable enough. It’s very generic for a lucha mask in my opinion. Not nearly as recognizable as Mysterio or Liger’s mask (just two examples that come to mind). I think it holds him back to being a main-event star.

Silas Young! The man looks so sleazy, I love it. His AEW debut got kind of overshadowed by everything else major on the show unfortunately. Need to see more of him on TV.

Dont give a fuck about shootyworkshoot shit. I do care about the fact God’s champion is back!

Ah, the old “I haven’t had a full night of sleep in weeks” stare. Every dad feels his pain.

Dreadful main-event. Commentary was awful as well. Shit card all together. Also, I’m drunk.

That corner spot with Gresham/Dalton was stupid is hell, even for pro-wrestling comedy spots. Don’t get me wrong, I get a kick out of comedy spots in general, but this was lame. Loved the fact Dalton got everything in and looked like a star. Gresham’s style just isn’t for me.

Bought the Definitive Editions last week. I get the criticism the games get, but damn it Vice city is still a blast. Takes me back to high school. It’s also amazing to see how much the franchise has evolved.

The Butcher looked like a fucking stud out there. Darby bumping all over the place helped as well. I only heard Butcher talk out of character, and boy the voice doesn’t match the appearance.

I dont think he’s outright antivax, he made some comments in the early days of the pandemic and before the vaccine about alternative methods to combat the virus.

Goddamn, that Guevara bump was nuts. Dramatic main-event and I loved it.

Rampage is my Saturday morning ritual. Cup of coffee and watch some sweet 60 minutes of wrestling and then adult chores and stuff.

We might be used to thinking how WWE operates. Aew doesn’t really do the whole “endless” season or no “off seasons” thing that WWE does. Signing new talent looks like overkill from a WWE perspective, however the great thing is AEW kind of rotates their talent. At least that’s how they did it for the first two years. Hopefully they return to that style of booking, especially with the recent amount of high profile signings. The last few months they signed a boatload of talent, but hopefully that keeps things fresh and talent injury free for the foreseeable future.
