  1. I mean on one hand though, we were just talking about pushing Chad Gable and a shoot style tourney is certainly one avenue to achieve that.
  2. Justus sounds like Just Joe found a tag partner
  3. The latest STWW reminded me of this jam. Shame we never got heel Hogan in pre-WCW WWF because this is legit Can’t find the actual version used on SNME though.
  4. Can’t not mention the My Guy Won moment of Mark Henry pinning Orton clean as a sheet.
  5. Been watching a lot of Disney+ with the kids in the past week, and man if Zootopia isn’t the sleeper great animated Disney flick of the 10’s. Tight writing, excellent voice work and some fantastic little animation touches. Plus ‘Try Everything’ slaps.
  6. He’s already worth 12 WAR, though a curious decision to start his service time clock during this season. And speaking of this season, I think I’ve figured out why I - an otherwise superfan baseball junkie - just don’t care. The kayfabe macro story of every baseball season for over 100 years has been “all of these teams are trying to win the World Series”. The kayfabe storyline this season isn’t that, it’s “can they finish the season, and should they be playing at all”. It’s THAT they are playing, not how they are playing or what they are playing for. And because of that fact, the actual events within the games themselves are meaningless. I don’t care. In kayfabe, everything is made up and the points don’t matter.
  7. Rapid Delivery Rory Fox! Bit needed Tony Atlas hiding money from himself, but I popped.
  8. Gable is right there with Ricochet in the “how did they fuck this up” area. Dude is a sawed off legit shooter with loads of natural charisma. He’s short, but not small. At absolute bear minimum you debut him with a Team Taz sort of deal where he does all his explosive shooty shit in squashes while commentary puts over how his lack of height is an advantage for his style due to leverage or whatever. He’d kill it in NJPW.
  9. I’m so much more interested in Starks, Abadon, Butcher/Blade, Big Swole and other lesser nationally-known Indy signees than I am Hardy, Lee, now Ryder. It just reeks of old bad TNA and I don’t like it.
  10. Man those tacks scraped against Starks’s back. That was nasty. The Cody/FTR/Hangman setup is so obvious they have to be going with the Omega swerve.
  11. Man everyone in that Evolution match was having the time of their life. The joy just jumped off the screen.
  12. Not to detour too much into JR, but as a guy that shares a lot of the same instincts in terms of what makes good pro wrestling (logic, rules matter, legit athletic backgrounds are a good thing, 1983-1986 Mid South is my favorite run of a promotion ever) I’d love to see a Grilling JR on Bash 92 because I think that’s as close to a Jim Ross Promotions show as possible, and it sucks balls outside of Sting/Vader. Not that Conrad would ever confront Ross over it. I think JR’s a good guy to have in the room, but if given the book I imagine taking his view of ideal pro wrestling to an extreme would be pretty damn...boring.
  13. I still can’t wrap my head around AEW doubling NXT up in the key demo. Just off the cuff it *feels* like AEW is targeted at early 30’s types while WWE is targeted at kids. NXT’s fan base being old as dirt is not something I’d have expected. AEW seems to have really hit a second stride now. They were there just after Revolution, had a lull with the early COVID stuff, but are now back full force.
  14. Cage and Starks as Power and Glory (Swole and Swag?) has immense potential.
  15. Next week looks incredible.
  16. Thought about it. Pretty confident in it. Best stick man of the 2010’s is our boy that opened the show tonight. They are idiots if they don’t sign him.
  17. My guess is a name late 90’s / early 00’s guy that surprisingly hangs with Cody for a while in a fun 10 minute kind of thing. Glacier or Disco or someting.
  18. Starks seemingly joined Cage and Taz’s crew on Dark, which I am totally down with. Great pairing.
  19. Repo Man lasted from late 91 to Spring 93. Tatanka's return lasted from August 2005 to January 2007
  20. I thought Show’s promo was pretty good, at least. Personal highlight was one of the NXT guys yelling “eye for an eye!” when Drew said he got to pick the stip. Orton and Drew have both been well built this year and that should be good. As will whatever they do with all the women’s titles. Do they do something like put all four belts up for a ladder match or run a winners take all tag between Bayley/Sasha/KW at SS? Should be great either way.
  21. After an extensive in depth review of the blood freaks, wrestling machine and clubberin’ threads, I have determined that the clubberin’ genre of the wrestling is the best genre.
  22. I submit this show as a contender in the good wrestling with absolute dog shit finishes Olympics. Cesaro did fucking plant Kofi with that powerbomb though.
  23. That post credits scene was dope. Loved the Heath stuff. “Say hi to the kids for me”.
