I thought I remembered him being part of that match when it was first announced.

and Pac being absent for the big Moxley "we love professional wrestling" speech would say to me he won't be part of the babyface Death Riders.... or he is hurt again.

Womens Tag Title match was fine. The downfall of Mercedes is a fun story. I enjoyed Kidd/Darby more than I expected. It was less ridiculous than I expected, but still felt dangerous. The "Mixed Nuts" 8 person tag was fantastic! Well put together fun and the crowd ate it up. Ha! Didn't have Mercedes dropping an F-Bomb on my bingo card.

Okada/Takeshita was pretty good. The Takeshita babyface run is going to be huge. Holy Shit!!! Fletcher/Moxley had no business being that great. Fletcher is damn lucky he didn't break his fucking neck on that suplex, and kudos to them for turning Moxley back into a babyface in the course of one match. Now, it's absolutely time for the Death Riders to turn on him. Yikes. That FTR/Bang Bang Gang match was ugly all around.

That was the worst battle royal I've ever seen. I don't think all of the participants were ever actually in the ring together at once. I am usually a big fan of a battle royal, but that was just awful. Ricochet with the ring should be fun though.

Please let them take Jericho! Maybe it can be a trade, can AEW give them Jericho, Edge, and Christian for say.... Pete Dunne, Tyler Bate, and Mia Yim. I can come up with a few more if they want The Hurt Syndicate back too.

Nah, next up will be the Randy Orton "Chinlocks Forever" retirement tour.

I'm sure that the whole "creative" team was backstage pretending to smoke cigarettes and laughing in fake French accents when they come up with that.

Fletcher/Speedball was nuts. Absolutely the match of the tournament so far. and even if it had been a short Luger like reign, I feel like they should have strapped up Kingston last night. That crowd was molten, it was the anniversary of Funk winning the world title. Just felt like the right time to me.

100% This! Despite being like 5'7", at least Taz looked like a guy who would fuck you up if you looked at him funny. Hook looks like a guy who probably has a really sweet collection in Pokemon Go. His tough guy persona is just not believable no matter how aloof he wants to act, or how many judo throws he knows.

To be fair, I think Nick is still injured. and I wish they would send Julia and Skye both to work a tour in Stardom or TJPW. Both of them have so much potential, but just need more reps and to just late it in a smidge more.

I bet @C.S. will still hate Pac even after he has a fantastic match with every guy in his bracket too!

I saw where MVP apparently got a contract extension, which I assume means the other two are staying. Which is really unfortunate. By far the worst part of AEW programming by a mile.

and it's utterly mind blowing the amount of mouth breathing idiots who are constantly shitting on her, calling her Mercedes Hogan, claiming she is half the worker she was in WWE, claiming she isn't putting anyone over (cause they don't understand what that means), and all kinds of other dumb shit because either A) They don't like the fact that she isn't in WWE anymore or B,) They can't stand seeing a woman having this level of success. I am loving this run and I hope she beats Statlander on Saturday (and not just because I don't care for Statlander!)

Are you replying to 14 year old posts just to hear yourself talk?

I enjoyed both of the matches last night, and I get that they are staggering the entrance times to work around the commercials, but holy shit, both of those matches were really, really long. Also, where in the hell did they get those tables!

The new Wolfie D book by our own @GeneJackson95 is a fun read. Wolfie comes across as a guy who very much knows his place in wrestling history and is happy to just get to tell his story in his own way. Very entertaining from start to finish.

I enjoy Andrade as an in ring talent, and I hope like hell that he or TK or someone finds a way to stand up to this nonsense. Not even so much cause I wanna see him wrestle, but just because I want to see someone tear apart WWE's bullshit contract system.

Oh, I'm sure they'd talk her into dropping that, you know....for the dream 🙄

How dare you sir! She is Scottish! In all seriousness though, I hope Isla Dawn does get signed. I'm a big fan of hers.

Is there somewhere to catch that match?

LOL. You're gonna do great here.

CC87 was my first ever wrestling VHS. I still have it in the giant plastic clamshell packaging all these years later. As clipped as that thing was, I wore that tape out. I still feel like a kid when I hear "The Hit" by Richard Myhill and picture that montage at the beginning that spoiled the whole damn tape! I am so excited to finally get to see these matches in full!

You won't be able to afford the medication, or the hospitalization, but your children will be our top focus. We'll also be happy to take them to a private island, but that is a totally different thing.

I turned it on just as that match starter and can verify it was a shit show. As soon as Jade got cut, everyone involved looked totally lost. But the pin was awful. The ref counted One, Two, and then just quit counting. Jax looked up at her, she looked at Jax, Jax said something, the ref said something back, then Jax throws her shoulder up like she was kicking out. Stratton just kept pinning her the whole time. You can't hardly blame Jade for rolling out with that gash on her face, but good lord, I think I'd have to go Bill Watts and fine everyone else involved for being fucking terrible at the wrestling business.
