Also, who has Excalibur's e-mail address?

I need to write him a thousand word e-mail about the importance of no longer calling the move the La Magistral and calling it La Casita instead as they've done in CMLL for decades because of Negro Casas. If AEW is all about righting the great wrongs in wrestling, that's definitely one of them. This is one of my goals for the next 12 months.

Tay Conti is so loveable.

You'll want to read this Minoru Suzuki interview.

One thing from Dark I forgot to mention: Taz kept getting confused on when the Mox/Kingston tag was (Weds or Fri) and Excalibur got him to remember by hyping up how it being on Friday meant that they were going to get to be the ones to call it.

Not sure but the new title is the TBS Championship for women.

He looks like the creepy “I’m in a rock band now” guy from those Bowflex ads a few years back…

I accidentally saw spoilers for Rampage and I won't ruin it for anyone else but I will say:

I saw the spoilers on purpose and had a similar reaction, but for a different reason I think. Lol

Those that popped, popped hard.

Looking at the spoilers I can't believe we are living in a time where

Paul Wight/Big Show would be in the same ring with Rickey Shane Page

Re: Wardlow's finish: Too many lift up knee things now, especially with Punk there now. Someone else (Avalon maybe?) did something like that too.

Avalon's Marti-Knees is a jumping double knee drop to the back of a victim who is on his hands & knees.

You may be thinking of Sammy Guevara's GTH which is the GTS from the Burning Hammer / Argentine Backbreaker starting position.

I'm pretty sure this was a straight lift up off of the ropes (kind of like a flapjack but not at such a horizontal angle) and into the knee shot. But past that, I have no idea. I saw 20 matches over two days with a lot of wrestlers I wasn't very familiar with and it all blurred a bit.

[LoneWolf&Subs]

Luchasaurus is doing a chokeslam lift into a knee. But I don’t think it’s possible to do it to too many people on the roster.

Avalon hits the Marti-Knees to beat Fuego in this match.  It has been his finisher since forever.  Avalon isn't the worker you want tossing anyone into the air in prep for a knee strike on the way down.

To add:  Why Fuego isn't using that Straightjacket Gory Bomb Cutter thing as a finisher escapes me.  It is a great fucking move.

You sure you aren't cross pollenating with Taiji Ishimori.  He has so much knee related offense (Tombstone Lungblower, Bloody Cross finisher) that sometimes I wonder if he has any sorts of moves that don't involve a knee to the head or to the ribs.

We've spent so many posts on this now that I have to go and find it.

They must be very happy with Rampage then. 

They are going to load that debut TBS Dynamite up big time.

Hell yeah!  It's official.  I hope she wrestles in Norfolk.

They need to run the Siegal's Center at VCU.  Acoustics would make it sound like there was a billion people there even though the venue only seats around 8K.

That and getting out of Norfolk and back to RVA after a major sporting event is fucking murder with all of the fucking tunnels and shit.

It's Reynolds ONTO Avalon:

I don't think knees are as problematically prevalent as the step-up enziguri counter in the corner that nearly everyone has in their arsenal.

I'm really tired of that shit.  You could make a drinking game out of it.
