Who TF is "Big Boom AJ"?

The Costco guy from TikTok, some viral thing. Apparently trained as a pro wrestler at the same time as QT Marshall. I think it’s dumb as shit but I guess it gets them some eyes on their PPV preshow?

I doubt the Costco Guys are bringing in any new eyes but the matches are fun

They have over 2 million followers on TikTok, so working with them is just as much about getting in-kind promotional eyeballs to their fanbase, as it is getting buys from people to see AJ wrestle. 

Plus, AJ is a trained worker and busts his ass, and it is all good clean fun.  A couple appearances back he actually broke his foot right before the match, but Kayfabed everyone and worked the match anyways, so much respect.

Those guys don't do anything for me, but as long as they're kept on the preshow and just working with jobbers I have no problem with them being there. If you're going to involve some celebrity/non-wrestling personality in a wrestling capacity that's the way to do it.

I did ring announcing for BRAWL (Bloody Rage American Wrestling League) when AJ was "from the north this is Tundra". This was twenty years ago. He was a nice guy and I get such a kick out of seeing him be somewhat famous and me going to a hockey arena in Newark to see him wrestle. BOOM!

Bigger question, when did QT turn babyface?

it's only played out on ROH, but it started with Paul Walter Hauser earning QT's respect at Death Before Dishonor, then when Big Boom AJ got into it with the Callis Family last month and needed a partner, he turned to QT though there was hesitance because of their history. Last week, the Callis Family attacked QT in the back which led to a tag against QT/Aaron Solo with the post-match save seen in the video to officially cement the turn/team up this past week.

I said that the first time he appeared, but this is like...the fifth or sixth time? He's been on TV and PPVs. You hadn't seem him until now? Consequently, are the two children that always appear with him his?

Only Big Justice, who he literally named after his wrestling name of "Eric Justice."

Well, I had to ask because I didn't want to look him up, but I did think "he's the celebrity guy isn't he". And no I can't recall ever seeing a match. Just the name.

You're not missing much. I *guess* he does good PR for the company, but I don't see what the draw is. And I had never heard of or seen his Youtube stuff.

His YouTube stuff is on TikTok, so you wouldn't be seeing it on YouTube.

NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 20 spoiler:

Spoiler

IWGP World Heavyweight Champion Konosuke Takeshita vs. IWGP Global Heavyweight Champion Yota Tsuji at NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 20. Both belts on the line. I'd have gone Takeshita vs. Tsuji or Takeshita vs. Yuya Uemura. I never thought it would be Takeshita vs. Kazuchika Okada like some did. I'm fucking pissed both belts are on the line as it reminds me of NJPW's fucking stupid decision to unify the IWGP Heavyweight Championship and IWGP Intercontinental Championship. We lost two great belts for much worse replacements in the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship and IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship. Fuck. 

The big draw for the show is the legendary Hiroshi Tanahashi's final match. Does he face a legend or an up and comer who needs the rub? Really hope it's not Gabe Kidd or Shota Umino.

Bad news.  I think the match we all care about must be happening at 'Full Gear' then.

Hangman Adam Page has sent his autographed shirts to the AEW fan who had the "ICE fears Hangman" sign confiscated. That's my world champion. Cowboy Shit.
