I mean, I hadn't noticed it before, but looking at a picture of the real Starks and a drawing of Butthead...

I respectfully disagree. Ending Danielson's full time career was almost certain to lead to massive heel heat. That's not a rub that Darby Allin needs.

Ah, I see. Shame. I was kind of hoping there'd be some crazy story explaining why DC actually owns the rights to Spider-Man in Japan.

Wrong thread.:) Or maybe that's the joke?

Man, some of y'all are really pessimistic. I'd put the odds at 60/40 in favour of Mercedes, personally. Even more strange to me is Dolfan implying in the first post that the Bucks are a lock to win their match. The Bucks-as-EVP thing has kind of run its course in my opinion, so why wouldn't Swerve and Ospreay win? Granted, there are narrative possibilities if Ospreay's rash suggestion leads to Swerve losing his ability to challenge for the men's world title, so I wouldn't say the faces are a lock either. I'd call this one about 60/40 too, this time in the faces' favour.

But they can't drop the 5 Tool Player gimmick until they at least tell us what five tools he has! I want to know if one is a lathe!

Certainly putting the nostalgia match on last sounds crazy to me. And yeah, big as Mone vs Storm is, I very much doubt this is the time they give the women's division its first PPV main event.

More interesting than Adam Cole? Talk about damning with faint praise.

It's weird, yeah. I mean, last night had the commentators confident that Hangman could win, but then pivoting to concern when the Texas Death stipulation was mentioned on the basis that said stipulation would favour Mox. So mentioning that Page has beaten Mox in a Texas Death Match before would contradict the story they were trying to tell. But AEW to date has generally been quite good about acknowledging and spelling out competitors' history. So it's still weird that they're ignoring this.

It's not what I would have done, but personally I don't think it belongs on a "worst booking ever" list. Yeah, I've thought similarly. The complaints about the Death Riders angle have always reminded me of the online complaints at the time about the NWO angle, but I suspect the latter would be fondly remembered if WCW hadn't completely botched the ending.

Thanks! I think it was season two, as I'm pretty sure I haven't seen season three or four but distinctly remember the aforementioned character being in Lucha Underground.

Who's "Cross"?

Holy crap, a song I've heard of!

Marijuana has been legal here for a few years, though. So it still seems kind of odd that a marijuana charge would be enough to bar entry.

Nothing wrong with Toni vs Mercedes, but that plan sounds awesome.
