Brian Cage Vs Schaff was awesome live. I made a point to rewatch it once Dark Elevation was available. It was the second match taped but the first match aired. Bollywood Boys Vs The Kingdom was the first match. But back to the match. Schaff was over in Seattle I’ve never seen him wrestler he’ll I thought his name was Shang but I really liked this match. Cage made Schaff look like a million bucks and Schaff looked like a star. I think Schaff is probably gonna get some Indy bookings after this match.

This was the first ever Dark Elves to feature not only ONE (Vinny Pacifico) but TWO (Ricky Gibson) wrestlers who follow me on twitter.

Great episode… I don’t know who Schaff is. He seems pretty popular. But he did not look skilled in the ring whatsoever. Either nursing an injury, or just completely uncoordinated. The crowd reactions were very impressive still. I just can’t see them signing him on his extremely mediocre ring technique. There are quite a few similar indie guys that can do his brand of wrestling a lot better, and they have Darby Allin. If they need Darby’s opposite, they have Brody King, and I believe dark haired Evil Darby. Happy they gave him time to prove himself.

Splitting this one in two (long episode). 

Finished up with last week's Dynamite. Starks/Jericho was just fine but Acclaimed/Memphis was glorious for all the ga-ga. Jarrett running his crotch into Aubrey's face was the cherry on top of all of his bullshit in this match. I also liked how even the high flying was basic and old school: slingshot plancha to the outside, simple crossbody from the top. 

Cage/Schaff definitely fills your Meat-Slapping quota for the week. I think everybody -- wrestlers, ref, announcers, probably the crowd itself -- was surprised at the crowd reaction. (Parker's Italo-Montreal accent tickles me to no end, btw.)

Skipped Bollywoods/Kingdom as my only interest in that match was Maria's hind end. (Settle down etc.)

Hey, Pretty Peter looks like an adult now! Amazing. Speaking of ga-ga Trustbusters are great at it, but they can't ward off the triple homicide of the finish. 

Hobbs squash was great. It's probably what Cage/Schaff would have been if Schaff wasn't a Defy guy. I want Hobbs vs. Brodie. The tag squash was even more fun because Shafir is a nut. Taking off her shoes and socks to wrestle? Then she just mauls the jobbers. I guess she had a stinker recently and everyone was down on her but she looked positively evil here. 

Since JR isn't here it behooves me to mention Josh Woods' shooter boots. Him and Claudio work a game match with actual limbwork! And then Woods falls like a tree (heh) to the uppercut. It wasn't as vicious as the last one Claudio won a match with but close enough.

That Woods/Claudio match was a masterclass in how to put someone over while still beating them. Even in the finish, Woods didn't look outclassed, he just made one tiny mistake that gave Claudio an opening. I'd love to see more showcases for Woods like this.

That match is great.  (As is Maria's hind end!  HEY OHHHH!)  It was a great approximation of a mid-grade Rock N Roll Express- Midnight Express match with the Bollywood Boyz being as over as the RnR Xpress in Hampton, VA in 1986.

I don't know, he looked good.  I think they would sign Jake Something since he is a better version of Schaff, though.

It’s just he was taking some bad bumps on his ass like if he was early 2000’s Vampiro, and his offense wasn’t any special. Like I said, happy he got a chance, but needs a lot more seasoning. He should get a short contract, and see if he can really impress outside this hometown reaction. I’d like a match with Will Hobbs, or Wardlow. Maybe he needs to work  with other big guys that can slow him down a little more.

Parte DOS~!

"I think that's detrimental to tag team continuity." - Big Paul. I don't know what the deal is with the Hardy faction and I don't mind Page goober-ing it up double time since he is real good at that, but I still want to see him make a big face turn like Ricky Starks sometime. 

Athena's matches are now basically a repeat of Meiko Satomura legit dropkicking the trainee in the face in GAIA Girls after yelling "You're taking the piss!" Love it. Marina and her are gonna harvest some potatoes. 

I accidentally called Menard "Parker" earlier, my apologies to Daddy Magic. Eddie dropping down into a headlock instead of jumping his opponent was funny. He wins with a simple DDT, too. More of that in these squashes please. How long until Santana is back? Why is Eddie all pissed off? Magic 8-Ball says "Reply hazy, try again". 

Heh, Chris Daniels steals Eddie's headlock dropdown with Bandido. I bet he got an earful from that backstage. The Fallen Angel works a smart, not particularly high impact match with Bandido showing off some surprising strength spots including a chokeslam and a gorilla press. We didn't get any closeups of Daniels' gnarly red eye, sadly. 

Not sure if Danhausen wearing a muu-muu or Luther dressed like Kane after the Inferno Match is stranger. 

Hey, this was quite good! I really should pay more attention to Dark and Elevation.

This has to be one of the best weeks of AEW YouTube wrestling ever. Which is really saying something! The DVD and POUNCE in the floor in the Emi & Diamante vs Ruby & Willow match were GREAT spots. (also, Ruby vs Diamante seems like a natural match-up. As does Ruby vs Jade. Who is the true precious stone of AEW?) Will AEW be able to re-ignite the Bullet Club trend and sell a billion t-shirts?  Mark me down as a doubter here. HAT BASED PSYCHOLOGY is the best kind of pro wrestling psychology. Athena vs Marina was straight up great professional wrestling. Can they keep up this momentum with the STACKED Dynamite card tomorrow?

Tall girl Kel has worked Stardom using the name Rebel Kel. But she can't be Rebel Kel in AEW because they already have Rebel.
