Also, PAC and Takeshita leaving should have counted as surrender. They literally left the fight. Mox not quitting on camera and Schiavone having to throw that in at the end of the show was bush league.

Nail board aside, I didn't like Blood & Guts. It felt very choreographed, a "you do this now you do this..." feel rather than a blood feud. The Bucks "openly waiting for the next spot" style doesn't work in this environment. If this was a balls to the wall spotfest regular 10 man tag, this would have ruled. I just didn't feel the hatred. Last year's is still far and away the best Blood & Guts match.

Good show but I definitely got "WCW Thunder" vibes. Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Hopefully they don't lose the signal for half the show episode 2.

Loved this show. MJF and Cole did the impossible: They made me want to see another MJF vs Cole match 8 man and TNT title matches were just some fun pro rasslin and helped set up multiple things I'm looking forward to. Skye Blue got me on the false finish with her own spray. Good underdog match. Main was great with an incredible post match that gave me ECW mixed with peak Nitro craziness vibes that set up some great stories for the future. Plus the additions to Forbidden Door make me even more happy I get to see it live Excellent pro wrestling television. Huzzah AEW!

Line ups for the shows happening at The Rec Room in Toronto the day of Forbidden Door: Girls Next Door 11:30 AM MERCEDES MARTINEZ VS MASHA SLAMOVICH NWA WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP KAMILLE (C) VS VANESSA KRAVEN SMASH WRESTLING WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP NIKITA (C) VS LIIZA HALL FEMMES FATALES WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP NICOLE MATTHEWS VS ALEXIA NICOLE (C) ALLIE KATCH VS JODY THREAT VS TRISH ADORA TAYLOR RISING VS SELEZIYA SPARX KC SPINELLI & MARY LEE ROSE VS MILEY & KRISTARA DEFY X PROGRESS 3pm PROGRESS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP SPIKE TRIVET (C) VS ARTEMIS SPENCER CHARLES CROWLEY VS GRINGO LOCO SCHAFF VS BRIAN KEITH DEFY WRESTLING WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP VERT VIXEN (C) VS ALLIE KATCH VS NICOLE MATTHEWS VS SESSION MOTH MARTINA BOLLYWOOD BOYZ VS JUVENTUD GUERRERA & MATT CROSS Pretty sure I'm hitting up the Defy show for that tag match alone

I take back all the bad things I've said about the Bucks for shutting that band up. I LOVED Anarchy In The Arena. I HATED Cole vs Jericho. Everything else was perfectly fine.

No, you see he just fell on Stone and used his stick as a landing point. So it's actually the stick's fault.

Not to mess with the plans but at the Rec Room the same day will be Smash vs Femmes Fatales at 11:30am and Progress Wrestling vs Defy Wrestling at 3pm in case anyone needs extra wrestling that day.

RIP to the best wrestling fan ever.

Dean's Dick Murdoch impression on the Segunda Caida radio shows still make me laugh. Donated and hoping for the best for him and his family

More terrible news for Impact as Josh Alexander has vacated the Impact World Championship due to a triceps tear. Steve Maclin vs Kushida is happening at Rebellion for the vacant title. Such an underwhelming end to what I thought was the best world title run in Impact history.

Got mine. Had to pull it off during a work meeting but my best friend and I will be in section 321. I'd say look for the giant bearded guys but that's not going to help anyone.

I knew it was a bad idea to try this game I invented "Drink every time someone says 'leveling up' or 'Shazam!'" tonight. Work tomorrow is gonna be rough.

Not my favorite Dynamite despite being really hyped for it. OC vs Big Bill was very good and my match of the night. Big Bill as the new Sid is the perfect spot for him and OC has reached "can do no wrong" status with me when it comes to his in ring work. Way too many stupid and dangerous spots in the ladder match. I get that's the point of the match but it was just spots for the sake of spots to me. Didn't like Kingston and Ortiz disappearing. Yeah, they're feuding but so are Andretti and Sammy and they stuck around. Hated the refs holding the ladders. Just get a new ladder, there's plenty laying around. At least the right guy won. Joe looked dumb getting caught in the headset and Wardlow looked dumb not noticing a 300lb Samoan slip away right in front of him. Jericho vs PPA was a better version of Jericho vs Pineapple Pete. The Wingmen kept up the trend of stables not helping their members when one is getting beaten down. It's always a good sign when the crowd is chanting for one of the heels hats instead of the babyface to overcome the odds. Christian's promo was fine but I did get a chuckle out of Jungle Boy kind of proving Christian right by making a video instead of coming out to face him. Damn millenials...or Gen Z. I don't know, I'm old and confused. Hook vs Hardy was ok but I do not need to see Matt Hardy wrestle on TV anymore. They did get me on the cast false finish. Liked Hardy tapping right away and look forward to see what shenanigans Stokley pulls out in the match with Hook. Riho vs Toni picked up nicely after the PNP break. Toni looked like she killed her with the hip attack. The finish and after match brawl were pretty sloppy. Saraya is really not good and I hope Jamie and Ruby move on from her. Mox and Hangman's promo's ruled. Looking forward to the Texas Death and the Trios championship matches the most this Sunday by a wide margin. The battle royal wasn't good. First pretty much the only team I cared about was removed before it even started and then the rest dragged. I wish they'd split up the 4 way into 2 separate tag matches and go Gunn's vs Acclaimed and Jarrett/Lethal vs OrangeHausen. Glad Jarrett and Lethal ran in afterwards. 2 run ins during the battle royal itself weren't enough. And are the BCC heels now? Danielson and MJF are trying and I salute them for that but I don't see any way MJF loses on Sunday and I don't want to wait an hour to see how he wins. I'm sure the match will be better than I anticipate and I hope I have to eat my words about it but it's the least excited I've been about a Danielson match in years. So yeah, I didn't think it was the best go home show. I hope that doesn't make me fickle that I didn't like something as much other people do but I guess I'll just have to live with myself if that's the case.

Sens got Chychrun for 3 picks. Might not be enough for a WC spot but I'm digging what Pierre Dorian is doing.

Ru Paul's Drag Race is back to 90 minute episodes starting March 10th and thank goodness for that because WAY too much is being left out of this current season.

The first hour keeps this from being one of the best Dynamites ever but goddamn that second hour RULED.

I've figured it out. He's the worst Titus O'Neil.

So Top Dolla is the worst current worker on television, right? It doesn't get worse than him?

Didn't her and Bayley appearing on NXT lead to one of the few wins over Dynamite in the ratings? That = Draw

No way MJF does his own crown molding.

Their mascot is Coily?

I think this is from Puerto Rico. Bret mentioned taking a picture with his brother and Bruno in his book. Then he shit all over the Bruno vs Gorilla Monsoon cage match from that night.

Holy shit. That main. Liked the first one better but holy shit. Every match delivered. Sign Dutch.

Well that was a darn fun show. AEW has their fingers in many sinister soups right now and I'm actively looking forward to all of them. Wardlow's title win was nearly perfect. Scorpio and the ATT goons were a great foil and the crowd loved it. Hope Wardlow can help build back up the TNT title. You knew exactly what was happening when Matt Hardy came out during the Christian promo but it was still good. Lee/Swerve vs B&B ok and kept up the story between Lee and Swerve. I would like to see a Keith Lee vs Butcher match down the road. 3 way will be good and I especially liked the Bucks acknowledging the FTR chants. Looking forward to the Kingston-Jericho blowoff. Not because I want the feud to end, just because it'll be really good. Eddie won't let it suck. The Dark Order segment was a nice thing for the live crowd. I would have just had -1 pin QT. Would have been a bigger pop. RUSH vs Penta was some good Lucha. The scrap between Abrahantes and Jose had real "2 nerds fighting on the playground" vibe only the other kids would be encouraging it instead of breaking it up. I actually wish they built it up more. They could have had something like when the crowd was going nuts for Teddy Long and John Laurenaitis fighting before WrestleMania 28. The Gunn Club killed it tonight. Everything they did was great. The Acclaimed as faces are going to be good because they won't be watered down. They can work with anyone. Miro vs Malakai? Hooray! ThunderStorm vs Nyla and Marina was fine. I think that Shafir is miles behind the other three but she did her part as the one definitely taking the fall. Yuter vs Garcia? FTR vs Briscoes 2? SIGN ME UP! Joe vs Lethal should also be good. Rampage looks siiiiiick. Main was good but definitely felt like they were limited by tv time. They have a better match in them but that was still a solid free tv title match. Show flew by. Good job AEW.
