Amazing, Abe Lincoln cut a promo on George Washington and it's not really much different than one you'd hear today

Dave has mentioned more than once that New Japan stubbornly refuses to adapt for the US market, and then is puzzled when they have a show that doesn't draw that much.

It its, but it's something to do for guys who were basically forgotten about. It's interesting they put the Saudi guy in there though, I don't know how that will play out in the Kingdom.

Michael Cole struggling to not lose it at Pat marking out for MMM was fantastic, that made the gimmick worth it right there.

Maximum Male Models was certainly a thing.

In an alternate timeframe, the I Quit match was only Magnum TA's kickstart to fame and he ends up having absolute classics with Ric Flair.

When I saw Nattie and Ronda going back and forth on Twitter (and Nattie dunking on her at every turn) I just knew Ronda would end up gotten to over it.

I would have expected AEW's ratings to bounce back now that the NBA and NHL playoffs are over and Rampage won't be getting bounced around as much as it has been. That combined with them settling back in their pattern of months to build the next PPV should help matters significantly. Also it seems like Forbidden Door did well on PPV too, so all the hand wringing about US fans not knowing New Japan guys seemed to be for naught.

Funny thing is the only reason that match was so crazy is Undertaker's leg was trashed and crazy ass Mick wanted to overcompensate for that by being more insane than usual.

Honestly Logan Paul is probably worth more than Rousey at this point. He still has a pretty large fanbase and Ronda's purpose in life seems to be as unlikeable as possible.

My thought was "looks like Rock has more people to buy houses for now".

I mean he was really good in his first match, he clearly gets it when it comes to pro wrestling, and it's not like being a douchebag would count against anyone wanting to work for WWE.

Claudio doing crazy ass feats of strength against smaller dudes in AEW is going to rule so hard. Shit, he might be able to juggle the Best Friends. Also we might seriously need to rename the Muta Scale to the 2.0 Scale. They don't fuck around when it's time to bleed.

That and also their gimmick is being douchebag SPORTZ ENTERTAINERS so of course they will wear the most ridiculous thing possible to a Blood and Guts match,.

Ouch, that reminded me of when BOOGZ blew out his knee.

Love that ending, Eddie gets foiled even when winning.

Good lord I love Evil Kingston

Yeah they were but boy does that whole gimmick approach Benoit levels of "unintentially creepy in hindsight"

Somewhere Uncle Zeb sheds a tear for Claudio and Hager battling.

"Modern wrestling lacks believability" as every member on Team BCC looks like they will legit murder you on sight.

Wow this is some "members of the Hart Foundation get announced with larger and larger pops until the place came unglued for Bret" level stuff.

DADDY ASS VS THE GOLD DADDIES

SCISSOR ME DADDY ASS

I would not have bet that that start was "manage an evil dinosaur" but here we are

Orange out here building a match over being able to execute a bodyslam, and people still out here pretending that AEW matches have no psychology.
