Back to getting the pool installed at Craven Cottage

Probably just doesn't really make sense with "Raw" and "Smackdown" being treated as being "called up" for NXT wrestlers. Like having Ava draft Randy Orton to NXT wouldn't be really equivalent to Trey Bearhill getting drafted to Smackdown.

the fucking NFL has an article up about TK taking the tombstone. What in the world. https://www.nfl.com/news/jaguars-tony-khan-takes-punch-piledriver-on-aew-dynamite-show

This might make it all worth it

The final angle was at least interesting. Heels With Authority angles are definitely played. But The Young Bucks have been hitting it out of the park with their EVP act. Okada looks like a million bucks as their ringer. I’m willing to run with that since they’ve been so great. But man, there was just so much bad blocking and set-up in the final segment. First, why is Jack Perry asking Tony Khan to come out to reinstate him? It felt like TK should be the one out first as the authority figure determining the fate of Jack Perry in his hands. TK looked like such a total goof during the segment, just smiling wide and accepting this without hesitation. It just made me ask why some villainous heels haven’t attacked TK already since he was ripe for the picking. Or why any of the babyfaces would feel so loyal as to run to his side when he was just such an obvious patsy? But the main part was so much of the staging was amateur hour — Jack Perry deciding to talk to the in-ring camera for no real reason a few times beyond Jack probably thinking it’s a cool thing to do as opposed to responding authentically to your scene partner. That’s just amateur hour stuff. But I don’t hate it as much as I traditionally would hate a shoot-y style angle like this.

I figured Big Vis was the one scooping out the guts. It’s the name, after all.

By "dirty work", you mean walking up and down several aisles aimlessly at Home Depot and then hopping on a computer to watch hardcore pornography when they should be working? If so, that would be a yes.

have a tab open on the BigTimeWrestling stream and always fun to switch over to 1987 World Championship Wrestling showing Winston Garland (during the 1987 NCAA Tournament) with Craig Sager behind him watching Brad Armstrong working a masked job guy also lots of 'probably can't do that now' fun of Jim Cornette suggesting Precious eat dog biscuits

Bucks/Okada/Perry vs FTR/Omega/Hangman? That's a big time match.

*gets home from work* Oh god no what did I miss. Do we take away Tony's Adderall for good? Does his pop send him back here to work at Flex-N-Gate?

I’m guessing Mideon and Viscera did a lot of the dirty work in that funeral parlor.

I have a friend about a decade younger than me who just posted an Insta video of her getting down to a Counting Crows song. Jesus kids, there are way better things to take from the '90s, don't adopt what we suffered through.

I’ll say that I’m a lot more intrigued by Kenny’s appearance next week now.

I saw the Tony Khan segment online and it felt like a WWE segment where the announcers don't talk at all. So I guess...mission accomplished? At worst it felt like a 2000s WCW segment or a TNA segment or that time on UWF where Herb Abrams got attacked. I probably shouldn't crap on it more than that tbh. Rather than say anything about the Young Bucks or Jack Perry, it'll be interesting to see what happens next.

Damn, people find any reason not to support small businesses. One week it's "man, I dunno if I really have much use for an old timey coffin". The next week it's, "Didn't you try to embalm someone who was still among the living?" This man clearly needs money to pay for a staff. And real staff unlike the one he would have later on. I mean Gangrel is probably only good to make runs to Starbucks. Honest, hard-working (dead) Americans can't catch a break.

Yeah, clearly blew his knee out when he went for the missed corner splash. Looked like it took all he had in him to get back in the ring so they could get to a finish.

Well that was a fun end to the show. I thought the show was all right up until the ending. But I really hope Tony is away for a while. I saw on Twitter someone say he needs to wear a neck brace while filming that NFL Draft thing on the Jags. I like the dissention in the ranks of the Callis family. Kyle Fletcher and Osprey don't want to be underhanded. Don cracked me up when he said "I don't care if he's had five broken necks". Did Hobbs get hurt for real at the end of the match though? It seemed like that was rushed and the ensuing segment with Perry and Khan had to eat up more time then originally planned.

Dave?

I especially enjoyed the interaction between Ospreay and Jay White.

Something I forgot to mention last night: I trust the diehard weirdos in the PC arena to come up with some kind of chant for Baron's "fake beard" crack at Lexis. (It won't happen, but the funniest thing they could do for 2k24 would be to have the NXT Orlando audience "whoo!" during Lyra's theme song and none of the other crowds do it)

Ok, who's the asshole that thought it'd be funny to wish for more AEW storylines of the fucking Monkey's Paw?

Mercedes and Willow are going to put on a very good match, I feel. They were starting to cook in the NJPW match before the injury. Their segment tonight was ok. It's the most inspired Mercedes has been on the microphone to date, probably because she loves being a heel. Willow is too nice to hate. They have to be doing a turn with Mercedes.

The Red Sox injury bug continues. https://www.foxsports.com/mlb/boston-red-sox-team-injuries

But that was a TV show with wrestling, not wrestling on TV.
