Octopus

Started watching late. Neat to see the Private Party got their groove back. I absolutely loved Danielson vs Okada. I loved the ending for it being for tv. Okada looks strong, Danielson still looks like a champ, Mox and the gang looks tough and mean, Yuta looks like a big deal to end their 5th year anniversary show. I’ll probably go back and watch the matches you guys hyped up but maybe not the full ep? Idk, I’m busy.

Honor the contracts you give out. If the money is there (which it looks like it is) having a deep bench is fine. Snarky posts about people being paid by a company you have no idea what their finances are like is pretty shitty posting.

The Four Pillars were the original Cheetah Girls

I’m excited now they got something to make up for and prove.

I like the direction the world title scene is going, or at least oddly enough trust the process. Give me Darby learning to be ready to be champion. He lost to Jungle Teen and now MoxBully. Have him down on his luck and then learn a new move like the Darbinizer or the AllinSlam. He spanks Perry and then avenges himself from Mox. Whether that is when he wins the title or against Danielson. As for which Danielson match I’d prefer, even though we didn’t get Danielson vs Darby, I don’t think I could handle Darby’s dives at Bryan. Lol. I remember really liking the Revolution match between Mox and Dragon

Remember when you showed me that Deathmatch event and the ring was literally brown from blood? Lol

Maybe he is taken out by Mox and avenged by the mysterious masked wrestler, the Vegan Rider.

I feel very much the same way, but in a way that it oddly works. Danielson being beaten up and returning from betrayal gives Nigel a chance. This is merely a stop for Bryan and the world for Nigel, which sadly parallels their rivalry and their careers. McGuinness falls short in his one chance where his odds will at most he in his favor, in a nearly one sided long build of overt jabs and insults. Danielson is champion. Danielson had the WWE run. Danielson was still on tv during his forced retirement. Danielson is called the greatest. Danielson has more rivals ahead. Danielson wins. Nigel is a commentator. Nigel didn’t accomplish his dreams. Nigel had a long road to accept his position in life. Nigel is thought of as what could have been. Nigel will still only focus on Danielson. Nigel taps in the middle of the ring. Admittedly, this is all likely my own imagination waxing poetic and overly romanticizing a moment of time that truly touched me. I’ll hopefully have time to ramble on the match itself. A very fun moment.

“What is Defensive Player Of The Year doing in the Elite Zone?!”

If I ever become rich I want to see a Big Japan show with @Gordi the recovering AEW f

Mission Accomplished! We got Danielson vs McGuiness. Very pumped up. It was what it needed to be. Some weaker looking strikes from Nigel but it kind of worked as he got stiffer in the end. Several moments made me wiggle. Very happy.

This is not a drill

Calamities at home. Anyone that can get me a link to Danielson vs McGuinness will get all the riches in Scotland.

I shall wear the wank with pride.

I’m pro wanker

Gal bought me drinks. Gotta break a heart or two. Nbd. Tough bein cute.

My first job was a Blockbuster. It was in an annoying wealthier area. Having to tell rich people they owed a $1.25 for a month late movie as an awkward teen taught me a lot about humanity.

I’m legit sorry, @Zimbra

I will get Motz Sticks for youuuuuuu! he was my Governor when he was bald. Culvers is great, but get it to go. Booths aren’t gamechangers. Arby’s gets hated on. Good chicken sandwich, curly fries are a classic, the shakes are good, jalapeño poppers and Motz sticks are great for fast food. Big Arby’s supporter, but won’t travel far for it. Yes, Elon sucks and is trying too hard to be the modern crazy rich tycoons of yesteryear. Too transparent.

Dang, I’m late on this. Where did you guys eat?

I got my Michelob Golden Light with Olives and the floor is now open for questions.

MOTHAFUCKIN 50 MOTHAFUCKIN CENT MOTHAFUCKIN BONELESS MOTHAFUCKIN WINGS MOTHAFUCKA

Hey man, thanks for asking. Here’s a link to my previous film: Ode to the Whale of Christ Here’s a link to the screening I was talking about a week ago. This year’s Artist in Ficus: Two of my recent films and a Q&A If you guys watch them, rate them on Letterboxd if you’re feeling naughty.

I think Brock Anderson and CW Anderson teaming up is really cool.

I think there is a lot that is cumbersome, whether due to execution or expectations, but I find the current state of the world title picture extremely fascinating. Danielson is the champ who is a legend on his last legs. Wisdom of the GOAT and an unmatched spirit to match paired with a history of injury issues and internal thoughts of hanging up his boots (at least full time lol). He was attacked by his former partner so brutally that he is questionable going forward. His former partner, Mox, has gone militant and extreme. Feeling that the origins of why they teamed together in the first place has faded away as they have gotten too soft. Playing both into the history of their group and the alleged and shown in character immaturity of characters like The Elite. A very AEW thing to do, play off the universe at hand. As an extremist, Mox took matters into his own hands by attacking Danielson and it has had the foundation laid by looking for Darby for some time now. Demanding the title shot he hasn’t earned, yet feels he deserves. Darby is the holder of the title shot has faced very recent defeat against Jack Perry. He is a clear future of the company, but with his mentor Sting leaving, he couldn’t win recently. Ironically, mentors leaving was an implied gripe Mox made about Danielson not having the heart to keep this former cold-bloodedness. Darby has the chance to face the beloved champion but due to pride of defending the company he is loyal to, is putting that opportunity on the line. While the champ is questionable from being plastic bagged, Danielson’s long time rival turned comedically villainous commentator is calling him out. Using this as an opportunity to challenge Bryan when he’ll likely not show up or (which is more likely) show up extremely hurt and beatable. Meanwhile, the ultimate opportunist, Christian, is lurking waiting for a moment to strike. He got stopped before, yet now the former alliance that prevented it has fractured. Anything can happen! I love that. The specifics and moments you could argue didn’t land (execution, crowd reaction, not being what we guessed) but where we are at is pretty exciting. It does understandably create anxiety. Anxiety being a fear of what could go wrong and an uncertainty of the future. A few months ago, I was dead set on the best card for All In was Swerve vs Ospreay and Danielson vs McGuiness. Instead, I got a match that literally made me tear up. I’m giving AEW the benefit of the doubt here and instead of being anxious for the fear of Darby not getting a Tacoma moment, I’m marveling at the state of things and how enjoyable I’m finding the product. That if course isn’t directed at anyone and is merely giving my experience of the company regaining my trust. Grand Slam is soon and WrestleDream is a month away. I really liked the time between All In and All Out. Let’s see if they can keep the good times rolling.
