Octopus

Maybe a drink will calm him down.

Just give me 2 good matches a year.

Guys, stuff is being lost in all this. I colored long hair on a picture of Tony and said it was his sister a page or two back.

I need me a Herald.

I’m pro sweeping under the rug.

I really think they had something special with the Jungle Express. Jungle Boy was handsome and had flashy moves where his gorgeous locks swayed in the wind, Marko Stunt was the modern Spike Dudley that could make your heel look like a monster, and a fucking dinosaur. Once Marko got silently let go, the appeal life and they tried to split them up. The irony being that everyone involved that is currently employed is now heel. Who would be the AEW equivalent? Samoa Joe? Mr Ass? Dustin?

Ohhhhh, I could see myself slithering down the ramp to either. Singles match - Octopus’s Garden My Current Faction (Quaker World Order) - the Candlemass song. Which, lol I saw boobies.

Or he could bring in Teddy Hart

To piggyback off of that. Whether true or not, the reports were that JungleBow was already asked not to use glass by Tony Schiavone and others. His little comment (to me at least) came across not just disrespectful to Punk but the whole company. Again, I’m going off of all the dirt sheets so maybe I’m entirely wrong on this. Saying all of that, Punk should have enough self control to not get into ANOTHER fight when he’s back from a previous suspension. I don’t know anything, but everyone is coming off like children. Jungle Boy not being the chosen one: I’m biased here, so I guess more thoughts from others would be helpful. I feel like the brief pillar feud was almost like a test to see who is ready out of that bunch. Darby came across good. Guevara was kinda booked weird but did alright. MJF is the champ for a reason. I was very underwhelmed by Jack Perry. Until his recent turn, I have been as well. He might be hitting something with his leather jacket prick gimmick though.

Why so short? Kingston holds grudges for life.

I said I’d be happy with 8 months of Punk centered Collision. If he’s let go or on a long hiatus, I’ll be disappointed. We only made it about 2 months! If we go into a Punkless era of Collision, I hope it maintains its vibe. Maybe bring in Athena to be awesome. Have FTR tag feuds. Bang Bang Gang vs La Facción Ingobernable or something. Have Hobbs and Miro eat each other. Samoa Joe can chop people too.

Been meaning to comment on this. Well said, Craig! I really loved this match. Joe kicking the shit out of Punk, Funk tribute spots, both using good stadium crowd work, the use of headshot psychology, and a Pepsi Plunge. I’ll need to rewatch before I do any longer write up, but it was a real treat.

With Collision creative talks, I recall This Article that said Dax, Danielson, Washington, and Jimmy Jacobs were doing some of the Collision creative. I heard elsewhere that with Danielson’s injury he hasn’t been recently. Out of the shows, Collision has been my favorite. Such a different feel from Dynamite. I loved the FTR vs BCG series. Seeing Starks shine as a prick is fun. CenaM Punk is super fun and has a certain edge to it that Cody (yes, I did love me some Cody) didn’t. I really enjoy so much flowing through Punk on just this show. He’s enough of a prick and captivating personality that it actually makes sense to have so many people wanting to fight him. It low key makes more sense than when you have a super heel or face and only one person is currently made at them. Collision did a good job threading that needle.

@Gordlow will be pleased!

I like to imagine this is all a well established shoot work, where we e entered the Cold War phase of the work drama leading to an AEW Civil War. Right now satellite wrestlers are being used as pawns in the sick Punk-Elite chess game.

Heart of gold. Have you tried the ahi tuna? Yeah, heart of gold. I think that was before the sandwiches. All this sounds like an upgrade. Team him with Toni Storm.

I wish I was his coworker for the fun free lunches alone!

I think I found a solution. CM Punk gets carted around backstage like Sabu and Jungle Boy has to shave his head. I think that’s a fair punishment and future incident prevention.

The violence and all out war that is happening off the coast of Australia is both saddening and something closely watched by the entire Global Cephalopod Community. Various groups have a claim to this part of the ocean and with various external alliances it could really shake up the current economic seascape. As a species, we have been looked down upon for quite some time. We are well past the Shell Age and have technological advances that someone shy of 9-brains would really struggle to understand. But I’ll simple it down for everyone: Recyclable paper straws that don’t deteriorate.

this was what I was referring to

The camera shot of them walking up the ramp after the match was really well done. A few tough to capture moments missed with camera cuts, but over all the camera work itself was pretty good. Visuals I’m sure I’ll remember when I think of this event.

We Quaken ovah

I wrote something about it being in its own thread, forgetting stinkbutt3000 was banned. Pretty cool seeing this hasn’t lead to any forum fights or anything annoying.
