I happened to see this comment after seeing Kanemura run the freaking ropes so either this is wrong (betting against it) or he's a death match maniac (likely as he's grabbing and apparently not selling his leg in the home stretch). Sheer madness.
I love her, but I doubt she'd even be among my top few women. Bull, Hokuto, Chiggy and probably Dump & Io Shirai will all rank higher. And that's just off the top of my head. But she's great.
Maybe in wrestling. Its a quite common term in...the world. Like a "pair" for 2. A "trio" for 3. Were you ever a kid? Seen a menu? I'm all for dying on hills but please make sure said hill is actually on solid ground. By which I mean dirt, rock, a foundation upon which a pair of legs can stand.
Wardlow actually looked "big" relative to the rest of the AEW roster early on. That's no longer really the case, so I'm not sure he's checking any boxes at this point.
I happened to be in London for the show but was way too tired to grab a ticket that night. I saw Shad Khan having a lowkey dinner and he looked to be having a good time, as well as Chris Charlton walking through Heathrow but he was with his family so I didn't want to bug him. Tons of AEW ad wrestling shirts throughout downtown the day of the show. When I finally got around to watching it it was a great show but below the usual AEW PPV standard. That's all I got.
I enjoyed this a lot more than I expected. Yes, they walked and brawled. But they bled and wailed each other with real hatred. The production issues were there but never lasted long enough that it really hampered my ability to get into and enjoy the match. I had a harder time sorting out everyone that got involved on the outside and just what was going on there.
Uemura vs. Oiwa today was probably the second best match of the tourney thus far behind Shingo/Takeshita. More importantly, it was the first time that a couple of the young lost boys looked great and fortunately against each other. They've already wasted a ton of time with them and Tsuji (and written off Narita entirely) but hopefully there's some effort to give them a meaningful push soon.
It felt like they just threw up their hands and decided to get it out of the way. I assume its legit because you know its coming and there's only so much time left to pull it off. Just strange all around. Curious if a Cody heel turn comes next.
