    The beauty of Danielson is that he loves pro wrestling in all of its forms. He could out-wrestle/beat the crap out of Orangehausen and it would rule. Alternately, he could be cursed by Danhausen and sell the LIVING SHIT out of it and the ensuing comedy would somehow rule even harder. It has to happen.

    This. The curse can never be no sold - you get cursed, you get hit with a finisher, you lose. That’s the business. Anything else ruins Danhausen’s gimmick as a glass cannon who is silly as shit and can’t physically harm a fly, but has the death move.

    Danielson stooging around to avoid the curse and/or Regal having some sort of demon phobia would be great

    feels like JAS should bring in "their own cameramen" for the sake of fairly depicting their matches who can do those things

    Oh shit, what is Coachman doing these days? Need him as JAS personal color analyst ASAP to talk about local medical facilities and the JAS Universe while JR is just in full-on grumpy-ass facepalm “what is this shit” mode

    Sid is one of the best pro wrestlers ever. Can't agree that he sucks. I don't give a shit how bad his punches are, and yes, I know that's sacrilege here at DVDVR.

    He has intensity, he just makes you want to run through a wall when he comes out and starts fist-bumping folks, and he knows how to harness that to get over anywhere.

    He's one of those guys who would get over in 1970, 1990, 2010, or now. Dudes like that are pro wrestling.

    Though he's probably number one on that ol' "coasted on charisma and a dope finisher" list I mentioned earlier. 

    Hang this post in The Louvre

  4. I forgot to mention the school of “I admit this guy’s shit is perfectly executed, but I just don’t give a damn.” Lance Storm and Christopher Daniels come on down. I’ll give Storm the Thrillseekers bloodbath and Daniels the TNA 3 way match, but other than that it’s a combined 40 years of perfectly executed boredom.

  5. You won’t convince me otherwise that Triple H spent that 2001 injury period doing only 3 things: lifting, gassing, and watching 1970’s St. Louis tapes.

    The guy that left was literally right in the middle of one of the best matches ever. The guy that came back was whatever the hell that was that showed up at MSG.

    so what's the WWE norm for handling a guy who injured someone else during a match these days, is it "turn the move into a killer move" or "punish the guy who did the move"?

    In a twist, perhaps it’s going into “goddamn pal why are we hiring all these wrestlers with no prior experience? It’s not safe” mode, less than a year after taking a hard turn the other direction.

  7. HHH was legitimately great at and before WM30 IMO. He had the world convinced he was going to cost Bryan the title in the main event, and that’s after having that banger of an opener.

    ‘That said there is no forgiveness for 2001-2012 or whatever

    Im surprised no one has said Jeff Jarrett. A cliche pick, but aside from the MMA bits and that bad ass TV defense against Lethal I got nothin

  8. Was watching an old Nitro and it dawned on me that the AEW booth is structured very similarly.

    Excalibur/Bischoff/WCW Schiavone: play by play guy and straight man

    Zbyszko/JR: Grizzled, often grumpy veteran analyst, focus on putting over the broader story

    AEW Schiavone/Dusty: Voice of the fan, marking out over everything, hates dirty cheating heels (except Britt)

  9. Man, what a week for AEW. I thought about bumping the navel gazing thread to post this, and hope I don’t sound too much like a fanboy, but if there’s any chance CoachTK is reading this I just want to sincerely say thank you. I get all the counter-arguments about growing the audience or whatever else, but I’m not sure I’ve had this experience where a big budget entertainment medium feels like it was written very specifically for me, for us - this relatively narrow sliver of DVDVR and similar fans of this already-niche entertainment product. It’s just so, so awesome to experience. Not taking it for granted.

  10. Also…William Regal is less than 2 years older than Chris Jericho! I mean, what?

    So the dude was in his mid-20’s in those WCWSN days with elite character work and bad ass matches with Finley and whoever else. That’s incredible!

  11. Man, you look at the social media reaction and the number of likes for the “Is All Elite” graphic and what not, and you realize Jeff Hardy is the sneaky super-duper-mega-over top 5 most popular guy of his generation type dude, while not always (rarely) being in the main event. Like Jake The Snake in the 80’s. Rey Mysterio fits that mold too, but I think Jeff has even him beat. 

    Basically I’m not sure Jeff isn’t the most popular non-permanent-main-eventer of the past 25 years

    Not sure why they made Thunder Rosa look so weak after a phantom pin AND submission against the champ at the PPV, and a week before what looks to finally be her title win, but they sure made her look weak.

    Rosa‘s kinda low key not been good at all in her recent matches. Honestly neither has Britt. I hope they pull it off next week, but they’re in a rut.

  13. I also thought Wardlow passed his first big promo moment. It wasn’t an A+, but it was a solid B at least that left me wondering why they haven’t let this man talk more. Dude is ready for liftoff, even if Max costs him the win next week.

  14. This was a big night for the long term narrative. Inner Circle breakup, AHFO breakup, Pinnacle breakup (FTR face turn?), Hangman/Dark Order dissension, Elite dissension continues, Bryan/Mox/Regal superteam solidified.

    Lots of shifting sands in AEW land tonight and I love it, especially the TNT title curveball (AEW needs more curveballs). Sammy deserved that shit for ghosting his boys in the opening segment.
