So Meat Madness= Hobbs, Wardlow, Butcher, Archer, Silver, Miro, Hager who else? 

The wrestlers formerly known as Bear Country.

[Curt McGirt]

The fatboy from Workhorseman! He can represent the Dick Murdoch bodytype in this tournament. 

[Log]

They should have someone be offended that they got included in Meat Madness. “Wait, what? Am I fat?”

[odessasteps]

Given TK’s history here, surely he should have a March Madness tournament that ends with Claudio beating Danielson.

Yeah, I'm in on all of those except the Feelin' Groovy Melt. No mushrooms for me. 

At least Stokely went with the Coke Zero.

[Curt McGirt]

I could scrap the mushroom and the pickles on the Giddy-Up (pickles do not go on a sandwich to me, they are a side dish served cold) but otherwise boy howdy. I hope that order was the night's takeout for catering at a card or something. There is no other plausible excuse for it. 

[Shartnado]

I haven't ordered this one yet, but there's still time. Also, I don't know if I should even put this out into the universe, but I had a dream a couple of nights back that Danielson ended up basically squashing Eddie in a very short match. Whatever the end result will be, I hope that will not be the case.

The Hangman situation is also unfortunate, but Swerve vs Joe would definitely be a fresh and unique match. Wait, that Wardlow promo... Is he going to take Hangman's place, so it will still be a 3-Way, advertised?

[AxB]

It is a wrestling tradition that if there's a Three Way match with Samoa Joe on PPV, and someone has to drop out, he's to be replaced by Kazarian.

I mean, we all want them to add Kurt Angle to the mix, but realistically it's not happening.

[Log]

Oh, they gotta have “The Meat Man” John Silver in the Meat Mayhem, right?

[Curt McGirt]

Keith Lee needs to be in this but if he's gotta heal then there is his first challenge when he comes back. 

John Silver needs to German everyone, especially the big fat ones.

Keith Lee if he's healthy, Big Bill, Fat Righteous, Brian Cage, JD Drake.

Big Bill always up for a thrill!!!

[JLowe]

If Meat Madness is just Wardlow, Hobbs, and Archer then they need to change the name.

[Log]

Three guys??!?  That’s not Madness! Thats barely charcuterie!

[Curt McGirt]

Now that, my friends, is Madness.

My list is your list, I think - I miiiiiight swap 2 and 1 just because it's Sting, but I'm sure that's just a matter of taste more than anything (like, I'm sure if our seats were swapped, you'd be replying similarly re: Bryan).

In any case, this is definitely the most hyped I've been for an AEW PPV in quite some time. Probably Revolution '22, if I'm being honest.

[tbarrie]

I just hope they can resist the urge to throw more five more matches on. The card looks great as is. Maybe add a Julia Hart title defense and you're done.

Is Julia hurt? I don't remember her wrestling lately.

Hmm. Googling "Julia Hart status" turns up a couple of news sites saying she is in fact hurt. No idea if they're reliable, though. So maybe?

[Matt D]

I've danced around this lately, but I do want to state it clearly and directly. The Bucks reinvention/gimmick change has gone about as well as it could have possibly gone. It's basically the shift from "Young Bucks" to "Old Bucks" that they've needed for a while. They're still not my choice for Sting's last match but I came in expecting the worst based, if nothing else, on their last few feuds, and I've come off pretty satisfied with it. We always knew they'd bump around for Sting and create the motion (w/Darby) but there's enough of an emotional underpinning now that, give a huge hot crowd, that I believe they'll lean into the gravitas instead of ironically squandering it. Let me put it this way: I'm planning on actually watching the match even if I don't want to actually write it up.

They're basically the same characters as HHH and Stephanie during the Yes Movement.

Darby Allin's wrote an article for the Players' Tribune about Sting you'll want to read:
