  1. The first time I saw Sting wrestle (not in person) would have been on UWF TV, post Blade-Runners, managed by Eddie Gilbert and teaming Rick Steiner (who was post name change, no longer wrestling under his shoot name).  I am old.

    For once, give it up to Juan Cena, especially after his horrible take on the Vince scandal. 

    Cena dresses like grandpa did when he worked at the bank and talks like he spent 20 years in front of a focus group

    Oh, I know, I spent 30 years in Austin, the “blueberry in the tomato soup”. But I also sorta thought Delaware was so small that it was mostly all suburbs/cities.

    Hell nah man.  Between Maryland's eastern shore and the parts of Delaware you need to go through to get to the Delmarva beaches, it's some real January 6 country.

    So I drove through part of Sussex County, Delaware today and yeah, a couple of rednecks from there makes total sense.

    Oh hell yes.  It's not "north and south," it's "urban and rural."  I lived in a more rural town in northern Maryland for a while and saw a pickup flying the confederate flag.  That's when I knew it was time to move.  Shit, if you drive from where I live (DC suburbs) to the Maryland seashore, you'll see some proper Deliverance type shit.

  5. On a different note, I keep hearing that if you want to come across as edgy and cool, you need to order AEW’s next ppv.

    Well I’m here to just reassure you that you don’t have to watch Dynasty to have an attitude.

    The Jungle Boy glass spot Phil got hot about was with glass bottles, not glass panes. 

    Panes are pretty rare even in deathmatch feds. They're a lot more expensive than light tubes, and light tubes are safer to work with, provided you remember not to jab with them.

    Ah, thanks!  And giving the benefit of a doubt, I'm sure they were using candy glass and not actual glass bottles. 

    The bad thing about light tubes is that indies don't typically drain all the hazardous gunk out first, right?

  7. The "primadonna" stuff feels unearned, too.  Yes, using real glass is stupid (IF in fact that was the issue...nobody is using actual glass panes, they're all using safety glass with the exception of your dumbest shindies) but CM Punk is not the booker or creative staff.  Take the glass out of it and you have an old head, not known for his sparkling personality or diplomatic prowess, seemingly big leaguing a younger guy and telling him how to do his match.  I'd be a little peeved, too.

  8. On one hand, I feel like I want to say you need to have a plan for someone after a heel turn that's something more than "dress as generic heel #4379 and insult the fans" BUT, because all the Punk bullshit went down, we can't fairly say they had no plan because we never got to see it.  Where was Perry supposed to go after Hook got his comeuppance?

  9. Sunglasses and leather jacket to get across the point that he's a rich Hollywood asshole is really hacky.  Might as well have gone all the way and changed his name to "Hollywood Jack Perry." 

    Honestly, turning him heel was a dumb move.  The catalyst for his turn was weak -- he was jealous of Hook for his made-up title!  And he was just better as a fiery whitemeat babyface.

      Revolutions lead to Dynasties.

    I do hope Pamela Sue Martin defeats that evil Joan Collins! 

    Well, as expected, the AEW Tag Titles are now vacant.  So Tony gets to do what he loves most in the whole wide world....

    A TOURNAMENT!!!!  

    Let's see how it goes and if the new tag champions will form their own Dynasty! 

    LOOOOL

    When I first heard the next PPV would be called "Dynasty," I hoped there'd be a stipulation match where the winner had to throw the user down an ornate staircase.

  11. Instead of training the refs in emergency medical care, why don’t we train paramedics to be refs?

     

    Aaaand now I have “Don’t wanna miss a thing” stuck in my head

    But a bare minimum of paramedic or first responder training given to your refs would be the smartest investment a company could make

    Does any real sports league do this?  Serious question.

  13. I joke about people piling on Knox but seriously, it’s not the refs’ job.  They have a bunch of other shit they’re responsible for and they’re not doctors.  If stopping a match when a guy is concussed is so important, put a trained doctor at ringside as a concussion spotter and empower them to stop matches.

    So has AEW ever suspended any of their referees for how they handle their role in concussion situations?

    Oooooohhhh shiiiiit Rick Knox witch hunt incoming

    It's one of the things that help me not to play EA or 2K sports games.

    Just...reading a whole paragraph about microtransactions and bullshit that's on top of a game you already paid $60 - 70 for, some game mode specifically designed to nickel and dime you...fuuuuuck.  I expect that from free games, sure.  But this?  This is just gross to me.
