Kinda blows my mind that there's only been 2 no hitters in 100+ years of World Series games. And this is the only combined no hitter. Wild.
Look at is this way: the total number of World Series games played to that point (688 games) divided by 2 no-hitters, so the average of one-per-344 games is the same occurrence as having a no-hitter in a regular season every 23 days.

I always thought during the panda vs. titan logo/name angst that the company should have changed its name to UUWF and only refer to it as "double-u dubba-u eff", as it retcons the former name pronounciation.

This isn’t how I wanted to experience a no-hitter in person….

I will be in attendance at Game 4, and I hope for many more Phillies dingers.

They would need Andre on the card...maybe have him win the battle royale?
The Bundy squash was necessary to build up a new monster.
You gotta do Tito vs Valentine. Tito was going to unseat Greg anyway...why not do it at Mania?
Maybe have JYD do the Studd Bodyslam Challenge if you don't want to do Andre in the spot?
If we're using the available roster, Dynamite/Davey and Bret/Anvil were already doing tv tapings....

JYD was super-over in 1984 WWF; I think that initial wave of his popularity peaked at Wrestlemania 1 with him not winning the IC title against Valentine.
And “Grab Them Cakes” just wasn’t going to bring the crowd to its feet like “Another One Bites the Dust” did.

We need a segment where someone brings out a cake, and Yuta's like, "I'm out. I know where this is heading!"
I could seriously get into Wheeler Yuta - Destroyer of AEW Cliches:
- he refuses to do backstage interviews because that's where everyone gets attacked
- when doing an in-ring or ramp/entrance interview, he waits a full 30 seconds after the first question while looking back at the entrance before answering, because that's when everyone gets interrupted
- he immediately brings out weapons during a match, forcing the refs to remove the weapon or DQ him
- he leaves the ring and compels the ref to count, and urges them to hurry up

You mean zero outs.

Watts also did Ron Fuller's podcast both (I think) as a Super Stadcast and the regular show to discuss Dusty's babyface turn, since Watts was the booker when it happened. Those were both still when the Studcast was part of AV.
Watts was also on the Charting the Territories podcast 9-10 months ago during the “Curious Case of Mr. Szabo” episodes.

I wonder Tony thought of that guy throwing out the first pitch yesterday.
This was…different.

Make it pin or submission. Goes to a time limit most takedowns wins. Sprawl for All
If they held it at this time of year, and then someone was scornful of it, they could refer to it as “this folderol of a Sprawl for All in the Fall”.

I wonder what MLB would have done if they tried to put this rule change in when you had stadiums that didn't have infield dirt.
Remember - Rogers Centre didn't have dirt until like 2016
A borderline with the same perimeter of a dirt infield:

I cannot wait to hear the crawl-out-of-your-skin cringe line that John Sterling has on deck.
With any luck, it’ll be a situation resulting in a lengthy replay decision (line drive hits the top of a wall and is initially ruled in play; fan interference) that takes all the momentum out of the call.
Can’t you just imagine ”Line drive to left-center… did it…off the…did it go out? Judge stops at second and the Yankees are going to take a look at it before challenging.” in all the tribute videos and highlights?

This is sort of a half truth going off of wiki. The NBC president at the time had a bit of an axe to grind with him
And that NBC President’s name?
You guessed it - Frank Stallone.

Now I really wish Ray Traylor was still alive; imagine Dynamite opening with all involved parties being called to the ring, and then Tony K. announces to them all that "starting now, there's going to be some Law and Order around AEW!", whereupon "Hard Times" (which has amazingly somehow been licensed to AEW) begins playing on the PA, and Old Man Traylor comes out in the original Big Bossman outfit and begins clubbering everyone in the ring into unconsciousness with his nightstick. Cutler tries macing him with his cold air cannister, but Bossman does that crescent/wheel-kick thingie move and knocks it out of his hand.

At this point, they should start Dynamite with an homage to the opening of Rashomon and have some random-selected wrestlers telling each other overlapping/conflicting stories of the chain of events that led to Nick Jackson getting KTFO'd.

I’ve run low on my Dall-E tokens, and like most things this has run its natural course, so I will bow out with one final absurdity:

THE 2022 WORLD SERIES - PHILADELPHIA vs. HOUSTON
in BASEBALL
Posted · Edited by Hamhock
As a lifelong Phillies phan (which I try not to mention too much for professional reasons), I honestly can say that I had a fantastic time:
Playing with house money takes the sting out of losing. My poor old heart and belly are full; I have lost some hearing from the bedlam. I love baseball.
