New wrestling crossword. I did something a little different this time, where there are 2 separate sets of clues for the same crossword... it's explained in the link. https://bsky.app/profile/avalanchestyle.bsky.social/post/3lqzkptwcgk2r

Trying to piece together how the show went. Bryan Danielson was there, here he is firing up the crowd before the main event. He puts Adam Priest over huge. https://bsky.app/profile/realbigkris.bsky.social/post/3lpxryfdlps2c

Mentioned on Bluesky that, obviously I completely understand how and why this happened, and I definitely don't mean to take anything away from Action Wrestling by saying this, but it's a rare thing for a big televised US promotion to be partnering with a small indie. porksweats brought up WWF wrestlers working Pillman Memorial shows as a good example of a precedent. Can't think of anything else like this.

You know, they've inducted wrestlers who never even worked for WWF/WWE, so they should probably just go ahead and put 6/3/94 in there.

It's possible. Only thing that makes me wonder was that he was 95 and she was 63 - his death can't have come as that much of a shock, and she still probably had quite a few years ahead of her.

Her debut promo in AEW was really good and, I assume, not scripted. Maybe it's a situation where she does well when she's expressing genuine feelings, but not so well when she has to pretend that she hates the person she's feuding with. Idk, just speculating.

So, it's entirely possible that he was just working everyone, but when he was promoting this beer he said repeatedly that he was done with light beer and was into IPAs now. Example: https://www.vice.com/en/article/we-talked-to-stone-cold-steve-austin-about-his-skull-breaking-new-beer/

You're all fantastic people! All of you! Enjoy your winter solstice and end-of-year celebrations.

That's a thing TK does. He did it with Garcia and Takeshita. It's (probably) happening right now with Komander. I'm not saying it's definitely going to happen with Mortos, but it wouldn't be a shock to me.

Sorry to hear this, but very much hope they can get everything fixed. Among the worst parts of the prep for me personally, and I don't know if you would have had the exact same stuff I did, but the taste of the stuff you have to drink was really difficult for me to get down. It tasted like eating a lemon-scented wet-nap. I probably shouldn't focus too much on how bad I found it, considering that you have to go through it again. Obviously if it ends up saving your life, it's completely worth it.

I loved that match, but a lot of the talk I've seen is about their match at King of Trios 2007, which I've never seen

They're also taping this week's Collision at the same time as Dynamite, in Chicago. That suggests there'll only be the 3 CC matches on Dynamite, and then 3 more on Collision, with all 12 guys in the tournament working a match. Then they could do 4 CC matches on each Dynamite and Collision going forward, which would work out perfectly. Sooooo that would mean on Collision we would get Ospreay vs. Juice, and then the 2 other matches would have some combination of Okada, Fletcher, Garcia, and Mortos. I doubt they'd be doing Okada vs. Fletcher this early in the tournament on a taped show. Hopefully it's Garcia vs. Fletcher and Okada vs. Mortos?

Real quick, here's another new wrestling crossword: https://bsky.app/profile/avalanchestyle.bsky.social/post/3l7xtlq4rpv25

Re the near falls in the Bucks vs Private Party: They did some important work in the weeks before the match too, to make it plausible that Private Party could break up. Stokely telling Kassidy that he was the real singles star, Private Party embracing before the match like it was going to be their last tag. Those near falls don't work as well if you already know who's winning the match. From a company that has done things in the (admittedly distant) past like announce a full tournament field and then telegraph who's winning by only having one guy cutting promos, this was a big improvement.
