CMLL without Paco Alonso seems to be a much different animal. Both Bandido and The Beast Mortos~! have been heavily featured over the past month. Bandido even got a pin on Mistico (not completely clean, mind you) and Mortos is being booked like, well, a Beast. One can't imagine that two guys who left the wrong way would have even been allowed to even enter the building under Paco, let alone be booked so strongly.

It kinda breaks my heart that Thing is the Paul Roma of the group.

I read they were thinking about recasting Kang for the sole purpose of quickly and briefly tying up his loose ends. IMO the cleanest and easiest handwaving for them to do is have Doom show up right after the Ant-Man post-credit Council of Kangs scene and wreck all of them at once since they made a point to say every Kang had been summoned. It’d even be somewhat similar to starting Infinity War off with the Nova Corps being wiped out.

Assuming its the same song I Like to Hurt People is the theme to The Wrestler (1974). Brian Solomon uses it for his podcast

Solid opener from Holidead/Santana. Nice debut for Nikki Nashville, looked good. Top Tier victorious again in a non title trios tag. Paola/Aussie sounded good but Paola gets replaced by Genesis. Always glad to see her but we'd all know how that one would end up.

That would actually be pretty good and not something I've seen before!

Well, they do call the smuggled MacGuffin in S1 an "Imperial" Starpath unit, but there's also the fact that whatever faction won was going to repurpose equipment en masse, so it could have been a "Republic" unit prior to that. I blame Lucas a little bit for not giving them a long enough runway. Made all the worse by the fact that even as a kid, I could tell Mark Hamill was old as dirt compared to what he should have been (he was 29 when ep 4 debuted, 35 for 6). Or you could just handwave it as "long ago far away", meaning accurate records didn't survive.

requesting an AEW match that goes to a draw which is settled by a bodyslam contest

Oh, baseball. One step forward, two back.

A History of Vioence is on the short list for Best Comic Book Movie, along with Road to Perdition.

I did say it was loaded.

He needs to cycle in some more guys to the Premiere Athletes, really expand that army. If not Mark Sterling, QT Marshall could easily fill some ranks up too.

I don't know why some of you think that Thekla going 50-50 with Aminata is bad, it's a very hard hitting 50-50 right now and I really think they'll stick with it til we get a plunder match between the two of them where Thekla should be the one going over there.

Not for a while cause he could easily be slotted into a world title program and have a ppv main event anytime. Heck have Hangman be the first to pin him at full gear or something I bet it would be a banger.

The booking of the HS has been one of things that makes the most sense in AEW. Look at them! Jesus Christ. They should be beating the shit out of everybody. They're like if the Road Warriors were also amateur champions. Who cares if they're "old" or are "WWE" guys? I loved the tag match at the PPV purely because the HS were having no part of all the flippy shit and just wrecking house.

I also think Stat needs a real "day in the sun" reign with the big belt way more than Mercedes (who shouldn't win it until she's a face again).

Movies today.... Fading Gigolo (Criterion Channel, leaving on 7/31) - 2/5 stars Little Solange (Criterion Channel, leaving on 7/31) - 4/5 stars Flipside (Criterion Channel, leaving on 7/31) - 5/5 stars Nationtime (Criterion Channel, leaving on 7/31) - 4.5/5 stars

Really even if Seth's injury is 100% legit and he's out for the better part of the year, Punk winning at Summerslam only for Bron & son to absolute destroy him so Seth on crutches can pin him just out of pure spite even if he has to immediately forfeit it would work for me. Sure it's perhaps not the best thing for a top title's credibility but idk it'd be pretty funny.

Stokely already managed a stable of losers and 97% of us forgot!

The idea that Mark Briscoe is the new Boogie Woogie Man intrigues me no end James

I’m just glad the apology was as loud and as public as the disrespect

If it's true that Rusev and Black didn't want to lose, that's fine because Tony Khan shelved them. Rusev wasn't used much at all and Black was mostly in tag matches. Tony Khan is the one doing the booking, none of these people have creative control. If they are difficult? They don't get used. It's seems fair to me. There's no signs whatsoever that Mox, Mone, or The Hurt Syndicate have been difficult to work with. No signs at all. They've all done jobs. Shelton has done jobs. I think only Lashley hasn't been pinned but should Lashley be pinned?
