For Great Justice

Assuming this is 10-count rules, it might be an uphill battle for Mox and Archer as Texas Death Matches tend to suck and are one of my least favorite gimmick matches. Anyone got some Texas Death Match recommendations to help me change my mind?

Good Lord Omos is HUGE. That's a hilarious picture because as is always discussed, Scott Hall is a big ass dude!

Your last paragraph is amazing and needs to be booked. Like Karrion Kross found a Time Egg and hopped in the Epoch before his Day of Lavos on Raw happened

Speaking of Creepers, I fully expect a Creeper run in to take out attempted Elite interference in either the 10 man tag or world title match. Gonna be one of those nice multi year callback deals.

On one hand, big facts. On the other, from this list Snitsky was actually over for a time and Kross will never do anything better than "Tomko, give me a beat".

Going on four pages when Raw has struggled to get five posts in recent months. “Stuff is happening” at least. Interesting to see some react to the show as a show, and some people react to the show for the booking. This Kross thing might be the best example of this we’ve had recently. For show watchers, longtime favorite Jeff Hardy got this theme back and chumped out punk mark buster Karrion Kross and it’s great because that dude sucks. For booking watchers, it’s maddening because ‘what is Vince thinking’ or whatever.

As a guy that is thoroughly in the Kross being terrible and get off my TV camp, Jeff Hardy coming out to No More Words and beating him warmed my soul. From what I saw, a pretty good Raw! First one of those in a long ass time.

We all loved Earnest Miller, right? Dude was awesome. I got some “not sure if serious” vibes over the past page on this topic.

Corbin just needs his bingo winnings back

Sullivan’s a top 5 all time squash match guy easy.

Not the best but nothing tugs at nostalgia with me like the early 90's WCW ramp. Maybe with "Smokin'" playing and GMC on the PA

The sleeper great part of the Austin/Rock build to me is the cutaway to Austin’s locker room earlier in the WMXVII show where he is literally looking himself in the mirror (Austin knowing - but the fans not yet knowing - what he had agreed to do to win). No one ever talks about that, and it’s the sort of nuanced (for wrestling) thing that WWE hasn’t done in forever.

I know comparing tv ratings from now to the 90’s is apples to oranges in so many ways, but beyond beating them in the demo AEW is far closer to WWE in total viewership right now than WCW was when Scott Hall’s denim showed up. Then it only took one angle and a matter of weeks to overtake Vince by the summer, and I dunno…I think AEW could realistically be a white hot and/or mainstream angle away from getting more viewers Raw. One of these companies of a multi billion dollar global conglomerate with a day and time slot that’s been associated with wrestling for 30 years and the other is a two year old (billionaire angel invested) startup. That’s crazy to me.

Not to be lost in the shuffle, oh shit we’re gonna get Andrade/Fenix and/or Andrade/Pac soon!

I want to start physically tape trading again just so I can make a “Best of Non-World Title-Related AEW Dynamite Feud-Ending Main Event Matches” comp. So good. AEW makes the best use of the main event slot since…shit I don’t know.

The forthcoming hot tag to John Silver in the Elite vs Dark Order elimination match is going to be the hottest hot tag of all time

What a show!

The way Bobby protects Arn on the Alabama Jam while still looking and sounding devastating is incredible

Paul's elbow is the best version of the People's Elbow / Worm / Five Knuckle Shuffle / whatever

Random thought here, but I've been watching a ton of Terry Funk lately given his recent news and I'm more convinced than ever that he's the most talented pro wrestler who ever lived. He could do absolutely anything at a level that I think only Eddie Guerrero can rival historically. MOTDC's across multiple decades in a variety of styles, in a variety of roles, against a variety of opponents at various levels of the card, all while drawing money. It's always hard to say "best", but I'm going to say he's the most talented. Dude can truly do anything at an elite level and make whoever he's working for money while doing it.

Adding Hart really worked for me and I dig the whole thing. I think the act is still a “Coach” manager away though. It’s a shame Hennig is no longer with us because this is exactly what he’d be doing in 2021. Angle or Rick Steiner could work.

I thought it was a pretty obvious Corny rib. Though Lambert surprised me in his delivery - nice job there.

The Bucks’ Stevie Richards tribute gear was infinitely better than their normal gear

Seconding that. Since they’ve changed the format to a chronological walk through Arn’s career it’s been fantastic. Arn talking WWE and modern stuff did nothing for me but Arn talking about how bad the roads were between Alexandria and Lake Charles is just my game

Seems the obvious thing to do that’s been there for a while now is to move JR full time to the sit down interview role. He’s excellent there and brings the format credibility dating back to Foley and Dustin in 1996
