That's the one. I was intimidated by the runtime when I saw it and barely felt like half that much by the end.

What do I want to check out beyond the Aereo match?

1) Okada vs. Naito 1/5 2) Okada vs. Ibushi 1/4 3) Villano III Jr. vs. Aereo 3/1 Dragon Gate -- no MOTYCs in my eyes, but good and sometimes great wrestling on every meaningful show, along with the best booking in the world this year make this an easy pick. First time in a decade I won't vote NJPW, but Dragon Gate did a fantastic job setting the table for the next 5-10 years of the company between the rookies and their booking along with reintroducing Shun Skywalker at the top of the card. The Bayley & Sasha Banks team/split/feud. They weren't just the only entertaining part of WWE TV for much of the year, they were actually great in all facets from promos to angles to matches on TV and PPV. A shame it was rushed into a split this fall but that doesn't knock what they did all year. AEW Dynamite If we're talking "Most Outstanding" the top of my list would include Go Shiozaki, Kazuchika Okada, Kota Ibushi, Shingo Takagi and Minoru Suzki in some order. Wrestle Kingdom night 1

Yeah, spent probably doesn't begin to describe how she's felt and will feel for quite a while . And that's with a younger child that "requires" more handholding and eyes than Jr. Hopefully they all find some normal in the new year.

That was an incredible TV show and I hope I never see anything like it again. Just an amazing, thoughtful tribute to a man and consideration of his family.

Thanks, will definitely look into some of those recs!

Happy and healthy to all. Enjoy the rasslin and stay healthy!

Let's say I haven't read a comic in 25 years and I dug Batman, X-Men and the odd Image/Valiant back then. Any trade paperbacks worth grabbing now?

The Elite putting over the Dark Order in the main event would seem like a fitting tribute this week. Hopefully all storylines in the AEW universe can go on hiatus for a week.

Jesus Christ. All the love to that family, whom by all accounts he absolutely lived for. What a tragedy.

This leaves Meltzer almost to write the obit for this coming week's issue. As much as he's written about him through the years its one I'm certainly looking forward to in full.

I grabbed a Switch a couple years back, but could never get the hang of the controls and ended up giving it to a cousin. Too many years invested in PS3/4/5 muscle memory for this old man to learn new tricks.

Thanks, that makes sense. Not sure there's any value there given I've got all the Observers from that time period.

Has anyone picked up either the '97 or '93 Yearbooks that were recently released? They look interesting but I can't tell if there's any original content or if they're just reprints of every Observer from the particular year.
