Probably whatever ring Superman wore in some storyline where he married Lois

Matt Hardy has always been weird and delusional, it's just that finding a gimmick that played into his weirdness saved his career. Just look at his 2011ish - 2016ish run in places like ROH, where he just came off like a has-been who never changed anything and is probably on his last run.

I've been down on AEW a little lately (too many meaningless matches on TV feels like I'm wasting time watching) but seriously, fuck it. If Punk wants to talk for two hours about what a mature, standup guy he is, while Khan has the receipts that say otherwise, then air it.

Apparently the incident being discussed wasn’t the Tates’ first travel issue. Khan intimated that it’d been mentioned to him that they’d had issues prior to him purchasing the company. Anyway, does Remsburg still handle travel or has AEW matured past the “some guys have 2-3 jobs” phase?

Highlight of the show for me was Schiavone drinking a Monster Energy on camera 2 feet from their promotional cans of Flair’s swill.

Didn’t he leave a day later than he was told to leave and thus ran into a transit strike or something?

My bad, it’s actually “grindset.” You may lower the alert level

It's funny because he's trying to qualify it by saying "early in your career," making sure to only criticize non-veterans and non-legends. But at face value, he's still just telling younger wrestlers "don't come here if you don't want us working you like a dog." Like killing yourself for a job is commendable.

I know he’s just being disingenuous to throw shade on AEW, but for fuck’s sake. It’s not like Punk’s pulling an Orndorff and working through injury to keep a check coming.

Oh god fuck this guy. Some real boomer-ass “I work 18 hour days and never see my kids” grindcore bullshit. This is up there with Undertaker’s “today’s locker room is soft” comments. “I made every town, slept 5 to a room, held Shawn’s hair when he puked, drove cars for addicts because I was sober, jobbed like crazy, etc, and you don’t belong here if you can’t work that hard.” I swear wrestling will never get better until we’re at least a generation or two removed from these old school carny fucks.

I forgot to mention Toni absolutely breaking Excalibur with the line: "Mariah May reminds me of a young Toni Storm. Thunder Rosa reminds me of an old Thunder Rosa." Also tremendous how Swerve made goddamn sure to remove his fur coat before blading. Anybody have a link to Trent's post-show promo?

I'd love to see Cornette's timestamps 00:00 - 00:05 - intro and discussion of fast food 00:05 - 21:02 - casual racism 21:02 - 45:30 - Anti AEW rant to play to my base (NOTE: includes casual racism, misogyny, and homophobia) 45:30 - 52:10 - political discourse where I swear I'm left-leaning despite 45 minutes of casual racism, misogyny, and homophobia 52:10 - 55:40 - Russo death threat of the week 55:40 - 60:00 - more food talk mixed with casual racism and possibly classism if discussing fast food employees. Also faux outrage because that's my gimmick

Everybody enjoy! Thinking of you, Dean.

Man, this episode. I was really checked out of the first hour because I was fucking around trying to teach myself iMovie for a project I'm working on. Not that I would have enjoyed it anyway. I liked Copeland's promo until Meltzer, r/squaredcircle, et al told me I was supposed to think otherwise. I'm sure Ospreay/Hobbs and Danielson/Archer was damn fine pro wrestling, but with no stakes and the outcome never in doubt, I just could not bring myself to care. Gunn/White was my +10 match of the night. Just fucking horrible to book Jay White like this. Yes, he's supposed to be a scumbag heel, but to book this kind of shit vs your roided up grandfather was trash. Someone earlier in the tread called Gunn a "mascot" and that really hit the nail on the head. White is absolutely not supposed to be Chavo in Chavo vs Hornswoggle. Jericho/Hook is garbage and even the fans are sick of Jericho glomming on to hot acts like an AARP-aged Winnipegan barnacle. The Young Bucks and Best Friends saved the show. I loved them shouting out Jungle Boy AND nobody has mentioned them telling Sue "CRY ME A RIVER!" at the end. Tremendous match. I hope they have plans for Trent so he doesn't become Mike Santana. Dug Excalibur shouting out PWG, which is where Chuck and Trent were first called "Best Friends" and won DDT4. I'm holding out hope they'll be back. Willow is amazing and the fans LOVE her. Holy shit was she over. This is 100% a heel angle and it'll be a disaster if A) Willow wins the belt and B) Sasha wins it from her without turning heel first. Sasha sasha-ing out to the ramp to kill Willow's amazing face promo was the god damn worst. And having rankngs when Sasha can just declare #1 contendership is dumb. WTF is TK doing? Thunder Rosa is unlikable. Always yelling into the camera about not being held down, how nobody can stop her and whatnot. It's like these modern pop songs about the haters not holding you down and all that shit. THIS IS MY FIGHT SONG, TAKE BACK MY LIFE SONG BLAH BLAH BLAH Look Karen, nobody cares. Your "adversity" is 85% your fault. Thunder Rosa definitely owns a shirt that says "if you can't take me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best." She's going the Deonna route of being another babyface the fans are ambivalent about, working a feud vs a heel that they love. Real losing battle here. I haven't finished the show yet but I will tonight. I love both Joe and Swerve so please Jesus give me something I can enjoy.

Seriously. I read the post above yours and had no idea what any of it means. . As long as the next GTA has no extra special virtual trading cards, I’m good.

He’s probably also a floor fucker Looool that’s my ringtone

Yes! The only reason I knew about this movie was the comic ads!

Re: Rosa’s finish…it has the same setup as the package piledriver, so why not just do that? In kayfabe, why set up for a kill move like that, only to do something lame instead? Same goes for the Neutralizer and Styles Clash.

His completely serious defense is that he went to shake hands with her and his hand got caught on the string of her pants. That's like that time I tripped and fell ass first right onto a dick. It happens.

Buy it and do a repaint and you have Dutch from The Righteous On the We Watch Wrestling pod, they shouted out a good eBay seller who has mint Apter mags for maybe 5-15 bucks plus shipping. If anybody is interested, PM me and I'll send you the name. I bought an issue a week or two ago and it's incredible. Maybe the dude worked at a bookstore and just kept and stored stuff instead of throwing it away when he was supposed to? No idea but it's crazy to get a 1987/88 PWI in the mail and have it look this good.

Takeshita Me Home by Phil Collins and Takeshita Me Home Tonight by Eddie Money aaaaaaand I Wonder If I Takeshita You Home by Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam As well. Just too many songs start with "Take," really.

It was a wonderful day when I realized all I watched on "regular TV" (Sling, actually) was AEW, so I got a VPN, Triller, and AEW+, and now I never see TV commercials.

I find sitting or lying down easier
