Moving on from Corny, I'm on Ep. 5 and Aron Stevens' nude tights are...distracting.
As...distracting as they are, I give the man credit for going ALL IN on being a totally ridiculous looking douchebag(but don't you tell him that)that is 100% unlikeable and HOW DARE any of us lowly fans mock him. Man commits, got to give him credit

Really good table for 3, with some really great stories. Loved the unreleased photos of the planned 1997 Papa Shango return.
Godfather's face when he told the story of Shango being dropped killed me. "What, I ain't Papa Shango no more?" I really wish these shows were longer.

I don't know if it's one of the Best Ever but Oney vs Itami had a tv match where Oney got juice halfway. They had a rematch one of my favorite NXT tv matches. I really like the last tv match Charlotte vs Sasha after they got called up. Those are NXT tv matches I've enjoyed pre USA, we obviously will have tons more memorable TV matches with AEW being direct competition at them having a 2 hour program.
Oney Lorcan(and Danny Burch, for that matter)quietly became kings of the short but great tv matches where going in you really don't expect much of anything, but then Lorcan just goes into THROW EM UP mode and packs all kinds of fire and violence into a 5 or 6 minute sprint. Burch/Lorcan vs Barthel/Eichner is one of the more underrated matches you can find out there from the past year.

@The Natural I just want to echo the love for WALTER vs Bate from the UK show. Bate just threw everything he had at that big ox and came SO CLOSE but in the end, WALTER was just too much. I, a grown ass man, was screaming at my tv for Bate to pull off the win, and felt for him when he just couldn't do it. Trent and Pete coming out to help him up after the match was a nice coda. Great, great pro wrestling.

Re: The Outsider
So Michael Bluth has a Dark Half doppelganger? I haven't paid attention to any Stephen King since... fuck... Everything's Eventual (which I never finished) so I have no clue if the book was any good.
It's not peak level King but it's a good read. It has a lot of ties to the Mr Mercedes series of books so I get the feeling they may have to change some things around for the middle portion of the story.

Honestly I wouldn't want Rhea to leave NXT. This woman is $$$ and I have no faith in Raw or Smackdown not to send that straight to hell. I think my favorite small moment of that match was when the ref went to check Rhea's arm during the clutch and Rhea grabbed him and shot him the mother of all dirty looks. It's just so rare and so refreshing to see the right person dethrone the champion(even though it was long overdue)in a great match for a feel good moment. Kudos to all involved and hats off to what was probably the best NXT episode since the network move

hey, wwe, gonna do you a favor. Sit this one out and let Dana and big Dave handle the twitter machine. You try to get in on the joke and you ruin it. You remember when “fandangoing” was a thing?

I just want to say that the Muscle Man dance remix with Huskus the P.I.G. was fucking incredible. And the one thing I remember about this show

@MoeCristyV.1.6 I just want to say that the Randy Orton gif in your signature really is the gift that keeps giving. Say what you will about Randy Bo Banders as a wrestler, but dude is a gif machine!

This is an example of Michael Cole's best quality as an announcer...he's the only announcer who really gets the importance of someone winning the World Title for the first time.
Cole may get into the same "We have a new World Champion! History has been made here!"...but he always gives that little bit more when it's "We have a NEW World Champion! [Wrestler] has just made it to the top of the mountain and etched their name among the all-time greats!" All of Cole's best calls- Daniel Bryan at WM30, Eddie Guerrero at No Way Out 2004, Mankind on 1/4/99...all amazing calls that some of the better announcers would have dropped and failed to make as important.
He really does not get enough credit for the no way out call. You could tell it was a legit emotional moment for him. And the excitement was real when he’s cheering for Eddie as he goes up for the frog splash. I have so many issues with him, but dude does have his moments

Watched the Women's WarGames match again and I liked it even more second time round. Great match. MOTN and one of the best bouts this year.
I love Shayna's "aw FUCK" look in this picture. Rhea Ripley is a god damn STAR and if she doesn't take the belt off Shayna asap then I don't know what we are doing anymore. It's going to take an act of god to keep Io as a heel at this point as scary talented as she is, especially with stuff like that insane moonsault. Why would I want to boo her?
But Dakota Kai went all in on her turn and it was GREAT. Like @Sky Blue Sam said, no one ever touches Regal, so when she did, she looked like an even bigger asshole and it was tremendous. You can spin so many feuds based off that turn alone.
This was the match of the night and as much as I love all the guys involved in the men's wargames(can we get more of Keith Lee just fucking WRECKING dudes, by the way), this should have been the main event

Think I'd prefer Joker to remain a one and done. Can the sequel be worthwhile? It can but will it?
See, what makes Joker work is that it's really not a "Joker" movie. You have references to Thomas Wayne and such, but that's not what the movie is about. If you make a sequel, someone along the way will pressure it to be more like the comics and try to blend this with the guy we know in the books. Arthur Fleck's descent into madness was a fascinating story, but I can't see Arthur Fleck in the criminal world as being something I would want to see

I remember Awesome as That 70's Guy, but I have zero recollection of Crowbar following suit.
And at some point Crowbar even had Daffney dressed up in 70s gear! And this is where I feel like I'm crazy, cause I remember a story where Crowbar had the hots for Daffney, but she friend zoned him, then started dating a dude that looked just like him(the name Ashley Hudson jumps out). None of this has shown up on any episodes I've watched, but we got Crowbar in bell bottoms.
Fuck, I think I might be high

Enzo and Cass on TIJ today. They definitely sound humbled by their experiences, Cass more so, but still sound pretty douchey. The big reveal is that Jericho is the one who got Enzo onto 205Live (thanks?) but they talk a little about the MSG run in and the Survivor Series deal too.
Chris Jericho, king of ad segues, killed me on this one. "Well, Cass, we know you felt like you were on your way out and tying up loose ends before you drank yourself to death. I want to talk about that but before I do, let's talk about how to save you money on Black Friday shopping!"

So, random question here. Watching Old WCW Thunder(it's REALLY hard to keep yourself entertained working night shift)and Mike Awesome and Crowbar come out as Those 70s Guys. I have absolutely no memory of this or how we got here. How did they end up teaming and why were they both 70s guys?

Loved the Undisputed Era vs. The Revival in one of the best WWE matches all year. Now that's great shit!
God, can we PLEASE get them back in NXT? Are they doing anything on the main roster that is so important we couldn’t have them back in the one show where they actually were over and get to do shit like this match on the regular?

Yeah, I felt the same way. I watched some of Raw and I was like, the fuck is everyone fighting for? It was the shittiest "brawl" I think I've seen in a long while. Either that, or I've been spoiled by AEW and Impact. Who gives a shit about brand supremacy when every year we're immediately told it doesn't matter. Bryan's right. Last year it was supposed to matter that SD lost all of their matches on the main card and the next night and on Tuesday they simply moved on.
Dave of course tried to explain or defend this shit. Once again another example of why I don't want to hear a word about how biased Dave is towards AEW and how much he hates WWE when he constantly makes excuses for WWE until he's backed into a corner and only then he's like, "I guess it's just bad then."
If we have to do this brand supremacy bullshit, then it should have been WWE vs NXT, not the three shows against each other. Raw and Smackdown band together because they are tired of hearing how much better these assholes on the developmental brand blow them out of the water, and NXT wants to show that they are more then just the C show. We are the A show, we are the main roster now. You don’t like it? FIGHT.
Is it perfect? Hell no. But at least there would be some reason, even if it’s a flimsy one, why these guys are fighting. And since we have to do qualifying matches for everything these days, you could do worse then Raw and Smackdown guys vying for the right to compete on a combined team to take on NXT.
But all of this only works if we keep the t-shirts. The t-shirts are the most important thing
