    Yes - Nick Castellanos did indeed hit a HR today

    As a cute addendum to this, DraftKings/FanDuel and a couple of the other houses were either limiting bets on a Castellanos homer or simply not taking them at all. 

  2. You, you work all night (all night)! And when you work you don't feel all right!

    Last week a bunch more things became clear for SummerSlam.  Rhea and Liv will be fighting for the title (clearly until Dom betrays Rhea).  Cody will take on Solo (clearly until someone big makes his return).  And LA Knight will take on Logan Paul for the US Title (and Paul has already grossly started saying Knight is "Low T", which based on his physique I think would be a medical miracle).

    🎼

    'Cuz we will never listen to your rules (no)! We will never do as others do (no)!

    Next up seems to be the Women's Tag Titles, the IC Belt, and various other sundries.  And hell, even NXT is rocking these days as someone keeps appearing whenever you mention his name!  (Not B**tlejuice either!)

    🎶

    Let's get a party going (let's get a party going)! When it's time to party we will always party hard!!!! Party hard (party hard, party hard, party hard party hard, party hard, party hard party hard, party hard, party hard...)

    Lots of fun stuff planned for this week, but it sounds like someone may be getting cleared pretty soon! 

    Clobberin' time indeed....

    Two weeks til the biggest party in Ohio's history!  Enjoy the week!

    I mean I've seen coverage of Domino's competition's so I wouldn't be surprised that they picked up flag football for cheap programing

    The NFL is pushing hard to promote flag football as a kid's entry into the padded version of the game. A) because it costs a lot less to the players and B) because well, a concussion is something they don't want to give to a 14 year old. 

  4. This is a 100% precautionary message, but since I've seen it mentioned in... other places...

    If anyone decides to make a joke and refer to the current Vice President as the "Ugandan Giant", or any variation thereof, it will be your last post on this board.

    the wildest part of the whole BATB commentary is how it seemed like none of the other commentators actually wanted to acknowledge anything Bobby said after awhile, like the commentary was just a bunch of despairing people on their own wavelengths

    Tony's line closing the PPV was an all-timer though

    I seem to remember Bischoff being furious at Bobby because he didn't even want the thought of Hogan betraying the fans until it happened.  

    But Heenan more than earned that incredulity. A weasel knows a weasel.

  6. The WNBA has their new US media deal.  $2.2 Billion in value with NBC, ESPN, and Amazon splitting the rights.  

    This is more than triple their previous deal.  This puts them monetarily, roughly on par with MLS. 

    I'm guessing next stop on this train is expansion.

    Clearly in the minority but I really disliked MJF/Ospreay.  Just an hour of two guys doing spots that were meaningless the moment they were over.  Ospreay's knee was so fucked he couldn't walk until suddenly it wasn't.  His shoulder was so badly injured he had to do things one-handed, except when he didn't.  And none of it meant a damn thing to the finish of the match.  The pacing was all over the map so they were going back to the same spots because they didn't actually have an hour of stuff.  There's probably a good 20 minute match in there, but that was a real mess to me.

    Out of curiousity, who are AEW's match producers/agents?  Because if the boys are doing all that work themselves...   well, everything Zim just said makes a lot more sense. 

  8. So... here's my thing.  MJF/Ospreay's first match (that you're giving away on free TV without any true build up) goes an hour.  Cool.  Great match, they're both terrific workers. 

    I just don't know why you couldn't cut that match in half.  By the end they're literally repeating spots for false finishes and building for what everyone expects will be a draw, but heel chicanery wins the day.  I can already guess some people whose names rhyme with Mave Deltzer are go hog wild for it and give it 7 and 5/8 stars. 

    I mean, I *liked* the match, but it's like eating too much ice cream.  Nothing can follow it.

  9. You might been hurt, babe.  That ain't no lie! You've seen them all come and go, oh....

    Though I think everyone was expecting Page-Swerve in London, we got quite a swerve indeed!   As now, Swerve will be trying to find off a Dragon in Wembley!   Danielson won the Owen Hart men's tournament and the Hangman will just have to wait.

    🎶 I remember you told me... That it made you believe in "No man, no cry".  Maybe that's why....

    However, the big news of the week was Mariah May's win and vicious turn on her former friend/mentor/(Settle Down Meme) Toni Storm.   She'll have a lot of explaining to do before they face off in London next month!

    🎼 Every little thing I do never seems enough for you.  You don't want to lose it again, but I'm not like them...

    And it's Dynamite 250 week! Imagine that, almost 5 years of Dynamite.  So we get some huge matches and AEW's official Twitter accounts won't shut up about it being the 40th anniversary of "Black Friday", so maybe AEW on USA confirmed?   Guess we'll see.  Here's what's on tap:

    🎵 But I'm not like them.... Baby, when you finally get to love somebody, guess what?  It's gonna be me!

    Stay tuned!   I mean, maybe take a pee break during Jericho doing Meta Character #2728, but otherwise... Stay tuned!

    Don't say Bye bye bye! It's AEW, which (*checks notes*) RULES THE WORLD~!

    (Boy howdy if this wasn't the easiest one yet.)
