Really? Do you know where she's going? She really someone that grew over time in Impact so it'll be interesting to see how she fares in another promotion.

Welp! Guess I was wrong. ?

LOL at ya'll thinking Mox might or should lose tonight. Like NJPW doesn't have a show coming up in the US in 3 weeks.

I assume BBW means something else in Japan?

Huh. TJP took the pinfall in the match with Anderson and Gallows instead of Connors. There are plans for Clark! Holy shit Ren got the pin on Wheeler Yuta! Also those scars from the chops on Ren's chest are nasty. Danny Limlight's trash talk is great. And Kratos and Brody start the match slapping meat. Limelight knowing he was toast after the failed low blow, doing the hip swivel and giving Dickinson the finger was hilarious. Lawlor/Kojima next week!

Interesting that they're filming out of Long Beach since I assumed they would keep using the CWFH set in Port Hueneme. Speaking of Strong: Couglin/PJ Black was stiff! What was up with Koslov referring to Davey Richards as a nobody when talking about Rocky Romero's tag partners? He didn't even mention Richard's name at all (or Trent's, but he did refer to Trent as a supernova).

Eh. It happens. I don't remember all of the details but in the NBA in the early 2000s there was a guy on the Miami Heat that had a 5 or 8 million dollar opt in clause and his agent didn't fax the paperwork in on time so the Heat were off the hook for the salary.

Is there any reason why people don't use that elevated DDT that Paige used to hit? It looked good. Andrade should just that instead of the hammerlock flatliner.

Dug the 6 man tag and the Mixed tag. Main event was a huge shmozz like an old Raw or Nitro which was a surprise. The ATT guy did good heel work in Impact during Lashley's last run so I'm not shocked he was good here. He must be a huge wrestling fan. The Black segment would have came off better if he dropped Arn, picked up a mic and said his new name. Also the purple makeup on the cheek is silly and will look silly when it wears off during a match. Live crowd helped make the show seem a little more wild than the limited/no crowd shows. The way the arena is set up it seemed like the crowd is right on top of the ring so it seems crazy. You know WWE won't look anything like that when they go back on the road.

Nah, WWE is a legit juggernaut with their resources, funds, roster, etc. Even with all of their cuts, they still have a giant roster not counting the NXT trainees and they keep signing more people. I enjoy AEW but they still do silly stuff that comes off as bush league at times and they have in theory, tons of money to use towards making the product look better and avoiding those things. WWE is still viewed as wrestling by a large majority of people. And anything else is seen as "bootleg" even AEW which in general is a good looking product.

Dug the tag title match, The Bodega have their schtick down pat now. Clearwater has been jobbing a decent bit since going over Banning, wonder if he's on his way out. Well the Heat Street video was everything I thought it would be and more. Gotta give some love to Blake Troop announcing too the little things he points out about why a guy would do a certain thing and how it might effect things later is great. Michaels is still a stiff but Levi is good at controlling so the match is good. Howdy Price with the shenanigans and Levi with the loaded punch to bring it home.

Dan Joseph was fed up with Lazarus from the jump. Midnight Heat with a Johnny Sinz reference right away. Kevin Martinsen vs. Darwin Finch was fun. Wasted Youth actually talking about their issues!? Nah, now they're broken up! Jack Cartwright telling Beef Candy to chew on his Twizzler? This is a spicy episode. That Stomp/Unprettier combo did not look good. The way Jack Farmer said "Mi Gente" and "B" when interviewing The Bodega was hilarious. Danny Limelight making quick work of Honest John.

Yehi/Yuta vs. DKC/Knight was pretty good. Yehi looked really good and I want to see more of him. The progression of Clark Connors continues with a win over Rocky Romero. It he going to be the guy to dethrone Lawlor eventually? Fredricks/Lawlor was good and a crowd would have bit on that nearfall after Fredricks hit that DDT. Wonder if Kojima's title challenge will be before the show in August?

Are we counting Rey's slide under the bottom rope to the floor bump? Or Big E's spear through the ropes bump?

Ah Brett is back. To be so jacked and not explosive is a sin. Robin Shaw with a manager now, and he seems kinda creepy. More women's division shenanigans. Ray Rosas (gotta roll those Rs) got some funky gear again. Honest John got a decent amount of offense in, I assume it was a gauge on where he's a development wise.

I was excited to see Alex Couglin vs. Josh Alexander. You know it's not going to be some 30 min epic (nor should it be) but it was pretty good based on what Kevin Kelly said it's a start to a trial series for Couglin so he'll probably get more matches against a variety of guys. Quest/Rosser vs. Brown/Bateman was good. I am still digging the hell out of Rosser, he's just got so much fire and determination to what he does. Also, Bateman being almost the same size as Rosser is interesting. Rosser/Bateman also looks to be the next feud for both. That commercial for their new mobile game with Naito and Kidiani was odd. 8 team tag tourney for Strong? Sign me up! Kojima/Kratos was in the words of Big E: "big meaty men slapping meat"

Actually caught this this morning because of insomnia. I don't know what the hell that Kenny/Jungle Boy segment was. Thought the Ford/Hart match was ok, Miro coming out was amazing. They can't think that Kip coming back will lead to a turn for him do they? Kip just comes off as too much of a jerk for that (he may be a wonderful person in real like). The Best Friends/Wingmen stuff was great and I don't even watch the Youtube shows I got what they were about right away. I of course like a bit of goofy in my wrestling which helps offset the "serious business" that happens most of the time.

So this appears to be a new episode. Wasted Youth are back together!? And no mention of their past issues? Did we just have a reset like nothing happened? The Young Goats look ok. The Greater Scranton YMCA Roller Blade League shirt that Kevin Martensen had on was great. Dom Kubrick's mask, robe and strut are hilarious. Clearwater needs to shave down the sides of his hair because it looks like he's balding from certain angles with the top pulled back. Brett Michaels looking real jacked baby. Apparently he's a Memphis guy? Honest John doing the horns to Howdy and Levi as he's down on the ground as hilarious. Heritage championship match is a handicap match. Flex stooged pretty well. And Cruz facial expressions are hilarious.

I thought Gable/Ford looked clunky which caught me off guard plus Otis missed his queue for the DQ. I dug everything else aside from the 50/50 stuff with Liv and Carmella.

Throwing this out there in case I feel like signing up for another wrestling service; how easy is it to sign up and watch Stardom World? Do they have an app or would I have to hook my laptop to my TV?

God, imagine Red Shoes flying and flopping around during those fight scenes. ?

I watched Fall Brawl 93 a few months ago and I didn't remember Fifi at all so I did a search and that's when I figured out that they were married! Strange how life works out.

Don't let Tom Lawlor find out about these.

Catching up on episodes. Conners is looking good. I still don't know what happens to him once he's back on the Japan tours (or if he's ever a regular member of their tours) ELP is a clown and I mean that in the best way possible. I wonder if they'll actually turn the "is his boot loaded" into a proper angle or if it's just Kelly making stuff up. Dickinson/Lawlor was dope and would have been amazing with a crowd. Brown/Quest was alright. But Rosser remaining intense veteran is great. Kojima popping in as grumpy vet is great. Hopefully more NJPW vets do it if they're coming over to work other promotions. Fredricks just walking to the back was hilarious.
