Octopus

Wow. I loved his podcast with Denise Salcedo. I was sad to hear he was stepping away from all his wrestling podcasts but happy he was doing something he wanted in life. Cool to see it’s with AEW!

This match slapped! Good struggle, nice strikes. This plus Trinity, maybe I’m going to become an Impacter! do I need AXIS to watch impact? I’m confused by their Impact Insiders YouTube stuff. Is that full episodes?

It’s the New World Gorder. Sadly I’m joining. Maybe I’m experiencing wrestling apathy but I haven’t been feeling the last few AEW shows. Last time I declared this they won me back with a bunch of bangers so hopefully I can turn face again soon.

It’ll be Harder Times

Guys, it’s long term booking. Cody doesn’t have enough adversity. So, after losing to Brock he will then lose in the new title match to Seth Rollins or Logan Paul. Then his wife leaves him and takes the dog. Down and out he has no where to turn. He becomes Sad Cody. Think Sad Barron Corbin but more realistic with the neck tattoo of a homeless person. He gets pity from a kind Billionaire that will teach him how to pick himself up by his bootstraps by putting him under his wing and giving him a large sum of money. With the financial wizardry of Bradshaw, Cody becomes a sponsor for large cupped margaritas. Cody, with his manager JBL, wins back the love of his wife through gifts. His catchphrase is “Soooomuch Rita. It’s So-Rita!” Then he wins the New Championship from Seth Rollins or Jake Paul or whoever. Boy, does Cody love those Jumbo sized margaritas. Then at Wrestlemania 40, for all three of the Belts, we have suit wearing overcame adversity Cody vs the Tribal Chief Undisputed Double Champ, Roman Reigns. The match is about to take place. Cody is ready with his sponsored large Margarita cup, saying “It’s sooooooomuch Rita. Jumbo sized.” JBL asks, “what’s in the cup?” Cody says, “Sir, it’s Rita. The Jumbo cup, sir. Jumbo, sir, Rita!” Uh oh, swerve, look at the contract. It’s a triple threat match. Roman vs Cody vs JBL. JBL wins to avenge Stan Hansen’s loss to Jumbo Tsuruta for the first ever AJPW Triple Crown title match and Finishes the Story that has been booked since 1989.

So is this a B belt or a C belt? Does Roman hold A and B or is the combination of the two he has like a weird A+?

Well, if this four year contract is his last (he’s 38 now) then I could see him returning to the podcast game with less awkward currently contracted wrestler moments. A combination of his career and maybe him commentating over classic matches. Sucks that it would be so long from now, but I’d listen. I really liked him and enjoyed the podcast. With his miscarriage story he joined Naomi in wrestlers that make me tear up and now I’ll always cheer for them.

I have so much love for that time period’s American Indy scene. Such great and unique talent. Super Dragon, Necro Butcher, Samoa Joe, Bryan Danielson, CM Punk, Mike Quackenbush, Homicide, Steve Corino, Jack Evans, Delirious, Christopher Daniels, etc. All these companies that had their own individual feel as well with CHIKARA, ROH, PWG, CZW, etc. TNA would be TNA but the X-Division was often exciting. Remember when PWG was Scott Lost and Chris Bosh doing silly skits. Excalibur was a goofball. Human Tornado was bitch slapping everyone. It had a South Park feel before ROH as the Indy dream match factory when ROH started going down the tv wrestling path. As for the stuff being uploaded to YouTube, thank God the Necro matches against Samoa Joe and Low Ki were uploaded back then. Really a game changer for me. I was sadly downloading ROH matches and shows off of another forum. I remember downloading one of the CZW Cage of Deaths and thinking it was nuts.

For the longest time it wasn’t online. Recently I was yearning for some good 04-06 Indy violence and I finally saw it posted!!! I love both Necro Butcher and Super Dragon and this match is great.

If that’s the case, going off of yesterday’s uploads….

Arn is very vibrant, out of control, and shocking.

Arn Anderson is a draw

Retroactive armchair booking: Punk should have lost to Hangman first and the challenge again 3 months later at AEW’s WrestleMania, Quake by the Lake. Kingston should still lose to CM Punk and have his heart broken by others on that level. He is Kawada-Kobashi. Be an underdog until he full on man 04 Kobashi’s and spams glorious chops after winning in New York and we all cry. Back to reality: hopefully we don’t get childish shooty call outs if there isn’t an actual payoff to them. I do agree with @Matt D and @Casey. As long as this doesn’t lead to quitting or injured (which is a worry), AEW is better with Punk. Give me Punk in a feud with anyone that can talk and it’ll be good. Starks, Darby, Stokley, Samoa Joe, etc. OR Best of 7 Series against Danielson. The goal is an eventual Elite feud, but if it isn’t going to happen then it isn’t going to happen. Kenny vs Phil as the next HBK vs Hogan would be funny though.

Punk gave Matt a GTS after Matt pulled a knife on a dog again.

Quit fighting it

The miscarriage discussion broke me

Great Pod but mental health is more important. I hope with the podcast ending he gets less twitter psychopaths harassing his family. Hopefully Matt Koon can strike gold again with a great host.

If so, my dude Penta’s special meter would be unbeatable with the taunting.

Are you guys telling me I was wasting my time joking about a Brand Split (instead of working) when there was this hot drama going on here I could have been reading (instead of working)?

WHO GETS QUAKE BY THE LAKE THO?!!!!?!?!!???!!?!

Dynamite gets Double or Nothing and Full Gear Collision gets Revolution and All Out. Rampage gets more TV Specials but isn’t big enough for a PPV Dark deserves nothing outside of @Matt D write ups RoH has its own PPV schedule Forbidden Door and All In (the years they do it) are shared.

I like a 5 brand split. Dynamite - The Elite & friends Collision - CM Punk supporters Rampage - Not ready for prime time but still good DARK - NXT ROH - People that still keep in touch with Gabe

Collision Sixty

Who are the Collision Six going to be?
