  1. Wow, those people are dicks! A real slime-ball move by Sterling, too! But seeing how things seem to go for him, I think he's about to be served once more pretty soon!
  2. Man, AEW needed to hit it out of the park debuting in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and boy did they ever! Goddamn Christian Cage helped Luchasaurus beat Jungle Boy in a great fucking match! Jungle Perry needs to regroup and maybe find someone to level the playing field for a bit! I was thinking I want to see Tyler Bate vs Hangman Adam Page, but I think I'd want Jungle Boy and Tyler Bate as a tag team even more! It's funny and awesome that Billy Gunn is still in the same shape he was at his peak, still wrestles about the same (just a bit slower) and is MORE over than any other point of his career, save for very peak of New Age Outlaws. How in the F did Sterling get the rights to The Acclaimed's gimmick? On what grounds? WarJoe squashed The Factory and FTR and Embassy get to show up and set up a match on Rampage, later so do Nyla and Anna J-A-S! Toronto being the one place booing Bryan Danielson sure was something. Match was another notch in Jericho's belt! Garcia had to make a decision and boy did he ever. There was a women's tag match and Shida got the win. And it leads to a match with Toni Storm. Mox-Hangman promo was good enough, but I wasn't sure if Page was about to burst into tears for accidentally punching himself too hard in the face. Hey, men cry too. Especially when punched in the face. I liked the MJF promo, after he was done with Stockley. He may not be a generational talent he says he is, but I do like his commitment a lot. This had to be OC's night, no matter how much of a PAC-guy I may be (or, to paraphrase Hangman earlier, I'm a PAC-Man!!!) The match was great and the DDT sells by PAC defy so many laws of biology, physics, sanity, space-time that I can't even begin. His neck must be supernatural, because he SHOULD be dead after those! Finally, OC gets some justice, but the hammer didn't exactly blow-up in PAC's face like I expected it would. Even with a bunch of key talent not being present, this was one hell of a show, once again.
  3. Big night for PAC, but he's really lived up to the Bastard moniker recently. Trent match was crazy. Willow with a wonderful showing, but losing for the third time to Jade is kinda eh! Well, at least Nyla made her move! Actually, I was surprised that this was the move she chose! Rush mixing up with BCC is always welcome. The bacne marks on Rush's back were a bit disturbing, though! Anna JAS and Tay Melo were really leaning on the entertainment aspect, which is interesting when you remember what they were doing less than a year ago against Superbad Bunny! Death Triangle vs Dark Order was action packed as all hell, but the amount of cheating PAC has needed recently is a bit concerning. This has to blow up in his face sooner or later! In his next match with OC, right? Forgot to hype The Gates of Agony! They dominated the shit out FTR and eventually it took 4 faces to turn the tide against the Embassy. The match got kinda weird at the end there, but these guys were definitely made to look really strong despite the loss.
  4. Last week was exhausting and last weekend was amazing, as I saw my cousin for the first time in a few years and we had a wonderful 80's nostalgia evening that stretched well into the night. The effects took me most of the week to get over, however. Anyway, work week was also quite brutal this week and I have slept badly, every night. So, only two workouts this week, but I liked how they went, eventually. Thursday, I tried to cram in a bunch of light upperbody pump stuff between bench sets. I did 5 sets of 8x231, then 3 sets of 5x231, then 7x220 and 12x176. The usual ab work at the end. Today, it was Trapbar day against all odds warming up with 12x140 standing on a low platform, then moving onto a higher platform for 8x240, 5x350, then failing 447 off the higher platform, so moved the lower one back in (about half the height of the first one) and got one. Then another single with 458 off it, and a single with 447 off the floor. I was like, Ok, this shit is hard today and placed 5,5lb plates under both sides to get the weight an inch (and a half?) off the ground and proceeded to do 4x4x447 and 3x5x447. Then shrugs, first some 12 reps with 405, then 20+ with 295, with a couple of long sets with the pairs of 55 plates while unloading them off the bar, then one more long set with 183 and one for the road with the 55's. Then abs and that's it. I think both days made for a nice bunch of volume training. The workday afterwards was rather punishing, but I got a lot of shit done, so I was happy with it. Let's see, if I can recover enough over the weekend and do better (well, more times in the gym, anyway)?
  5. It would have been nice if Eddie Kingston would have walked up to Andrade, hit him with an Uriken, said "I don't like bullies!", then said "Don't you give me that look!" to Sammy and walked away.
  6. I guess another one that read "and if you already did that, don't have them both go down the way!" wouldn't hurt, either? Because even that track record isn't stellar! Anyway, good matches this week, as usual. But Fuego is back to a losing record and Rush is now even 5-5. In his case, this is what happens when basically all your matches are against top level talent!
  7. Shit! That makes the end of this month the 25th Anniversary of my mother passing as well. Quarter of a F'n century ago. That's just, I don't even know what To call it, exactly. Long time ago and still just yesterday! Man! Just wow.
  8. Yeah, this only for a week or two, but that was still a bunch of generic names to familiarize in a short while with no emotional attachment to basically any of them at the time.
  9. Before I got more familar with AEW, I had big trouble distinguishing Sammy Guevara, Kip Sabian and Flip Gordon. I also got confused which was Daniel Garcia and which one was the Not Darius of Top Flight (fuck, I'm totally blanking out on his name NOW)! I mean Dante Martin, dammit!
  10. This reminds me that there was a filler track called "Rage Against The Answering Machine" on some album, I forget the artist and the track wasn't an actual song, but maybe that's the, uh, "answer"?
  11. The opening ladder match was greatly improved by Brian Cage's debut! OJ's antics were good as well. Jungle Boy vs MJF was one of the reasons I wanted to see this show in the first place. The match was spectacular! I wonder what they would come up with if they met again these days? Unfortunately, even in the promised land of 5G internet, the connection on trains is still a bit wonky, so I'll continue this later on.
  12. So they were great before they started?!? Yeah, there's been a few bands like that, I guess?
  13. At least 3. TNT, World and World Women's. Have there been more?
  14. I wonder if Chris' answer will be: "You want a match? Well, you can't have any!" Just like with the pizza?
  15. Speaking of Penelope, I just watched her title match with Shida from Fyter Fest'20 last night and she was showing signs of significant improvement even at that point!
  16. Just bought it! I'll wait until my ticket is checked before I'll begin watching it, though. I'll consider this a birthday present.
  17. Not since '93. Frequent scissoreur until then.
  18. I have a few hours long train ride coming up in two hours. Should I just watch a couple of random Dynamites or should I treat myself with something like Double or Nothing 2020?
  19. We're getting PAC vs Trent Baretta?!? I could just stop right there. Fuego Del Sol just got his record tied for wins and losses, now he's back on the losing side thanks to Moriarty. Willow had a hell of a match with Hayter. Silver vs Rush was a blast. As high impact as you'd expect. But it leads to Rush vs Hangman which is even more exciting news. The opening 3-way was a nice appreciation for AEW original tag team scene. It really does seem like a new era (which is more like the early era). I totally missed the national scissoring day prior to this. I'm not sure if we have that in Finland? I mean our household has like 4-5 pairs of scissors alone, so we might as well have! So 10 vs Andrade plays right into the rumors of Andrade wanting out? Well, this should be interesting. Oh, an Hook going through all of the undercard is good stuff. Next stop, the Trustbusters!
  20. Oh, my bad. Not familiar enough with them. But yeah Ok, attacking poor Cruise's nuts was not honorable.
  21. I thought he smacked him in da nutsack! Or are you talking about some other Scumbag?
  22. And just for the record, at 45, I'm still able to do the HBK nip-up (or kip-up) although it's probably called a Hangman Page or Jungle Boy nip/kip-up these days. But my muscle memory is starting to forget how to do it. Needs more repetition, apparently.
  23. Ok, so this week. 4 workouts 2 upper body days that both included bench. The first one was 6x8x220, plus one more set with 5 reps and the second one was 4x3x264 (plus a couple of partials at the end of each set) then 6×242 and 7×220. On the first leg day I remembered that the squat machine exists and did light but intense quad and calf workout with some light shoulder stuff between sets. This latest one was Trapbar and shrug day. Not the greatest, but started out with 5x251, 3x372, 3x405, 3x471, 1x515 and after failing 568 off the floor and off a pair of 2x4's as platforms, I went on to fail 559 off those as well. Finally, I successfully lifted 537 off the 2x4's. I wasted time by trying to get the bar on top of higher platforms, but it kept rolling off so I moved onto shrugs at that point. The heaviest set was with 328 and the next one with 295 and then lighter stuff. Tomorrow I'll go for a sports massage and plan on spending a good while in sauna later on in the evening. Also, I need to stretch my legs as they feel stiff as fuck right now. Anyway, decent week at any rate.
