I had hit send on it but I guess it didn’t go through about the Marin podcasts. Really liked them. Max dropped the full kayfabe thing that he always keeps up, basically. Nothing groundbreaking but entertaining.

It’s a way for Tony to get the best of both worlds. The ability to run Punk/FTR when Punk comes back, and at All Out, if everyone is healthy, finally, Elite/Undisputed Elite.

Dax has said that they know there’s basically one big payday left for them. The next contract they want to sign needs to be their last. So they’re going to leverage that to make sure they get all they can out of a final run.

Was just joking about the ChatGPT thing, bubba

Man, that’s certainly a choice. Have to imagine The Acclaimed win it back at Revolution, but Daddy getting hit seems like one of those things where he’s happy they had the stones to do it or something.

Good lord, Rush giving an actual fuck >>>>>>

Ah, Jericho. King of the wet blanket finish.

Seriously, just do it one night and see what happens.

The match itself was really well done. But best done in front of a more receptive crowd who knew who Thatcher was. Was not gonna be the usual house style match.

Don’t need Brian Cage doing fighting spirit spots in a match like this.

Goddamn, The Acclaimed are stars

I mean, that was cool, but the numerous near falls just take the sting out of the nastiness that led to the stretch run.

It was Dan, and yes, he’s winding down, but man alive, just one time would have been amazing.

Now do Makabe next.

I remember injury was a part of it but couldn’t remember if it was during or before the match.

He was also hurt going into the title match, IIRC, which is what led to the match being what it was.

And it plays into the story of Cody wanting to win the WWE title, which is the lineage back to his father and the title he never won.

He saw the Bandido match with Bryan and is like “I can do better”

ESPN just posted their Rumble preview explicitly wondering if The Rock was coming back and while it was presented tongue in cheek, I’m not exactly living that.

THATCHER VS. DRAGON. HOLY FUCKING FUCK.

The SAME WEEK Shibata/Okada happened, I was in Korakuen for the Champions Carnival and saw SUWAMA hit a shoot headbutt in his match against Shuji Ishikawa. Don’t expect wrestlers to ever be logical.

Pollo is an absolute badass, too. She’s worked the Indy I broadcast for a few times and was the best. Highly respected, and if she’s saying that, that’s a big deal. Just wish it was said more when he was alive, and WBD doing what they did last night to not allow any type of remembrance is seeming worse by the minute.

Seems like they’re building to Mercedes debuting at Revolution as a face “outsider” which would be interesting.

Feel like this is gonna be a tough show for everyone to get through, but also trust them to put on a thoughtful show, too.

Whoever gets the rights to the TV show that documents this madness is going to make a fucking fortune.
