Oh fuck how could I forget this epic victory. My bad, Cook was brilliant in this series

Did anyone catch the Taker Rogan interview where he bemoaned the fact that wrestlers are not manly men drinking and doing drugs the entire night and play video games instead? @Lossmade an excellent tweet chain about it and about how Taker cannot eschew responsibility for the decline of wrestling

Agree with your general point, but I think it's only South Africa who have won test series in Australia this century. India won their previous test series but that was of course during when Smith and Warner were banned due to sandpapergate so it had a massive asterisk next to it

Steve Austin had started working in WCW before Herd was fired. Yes, he wasn't bald then but his transformation is hardly the same as All-American Scott Steiner becoming Big Poppa Pump. Plus, he said he watches wrestling whenever it's on TV these days, and he showed a lot of knowledge about a lot of wrestling personalities that only rose in prominence after he was kicked out. It's absolutely impossible that he doesn't know who Austin is. What, he has the WWE Network and/or watches wrestling on YouTube, thus coming across the Flair interview, but he doesn't know who the biggest draw in wrestling history is? I refuse to buy it

This was absolutely brilliant, TTK. You really da MVP Also, no way does Herd not know who Steve Austin is. Bald headed dude my hairy asshole

I would put it on the level of the Nuggets beating the Clippers last year, or Bron and Wade losing in the finals in 2010.

Jericho needs to stop doing any kind of athletic spots. He is either botching his own moves or being wildly out of position for others' moves. Be the worlds best Abby/Necro instead, he is good enough to extract great mileage from that. I thought this was a weak episode. Not bad at all, and there were some really great things here, like the Hangman/Dark Order shit and Jake and Kingston going at it. But I am very cold on this Omega/Callis/Elite implosion angle, and it had zero progression. Same with Darby/Sting v. Team Taz, although at least Taz cut a great promo, and unlike the former, I am invested in where this leads. The main event was great as a showcase for Sammy but I thought it had too much Hager. If you want Sammy to be the de facto face, don't pair him with fucking Hager! I guess people's opinion of the show will depend on what they think of the Omega/Callis thing. I haven't been impressed or invested in it so far, so this episode left me cold.

Miro's matches has been great lately, but every time he is doing an angle with Superdork, he becomes a total channel-changer. The sooner he lets go of the super-albatross, the better. Sabian can be Penelope's minion

This Cody-Jade-Shaq thing is bad and boring. Shaq hasn't been a celebrity people cared about since about 2004. No one is going to get converted into being an AEW fan cuz fucking Shaq might at some unspecified point in time in the future get involved in some match. End this putrid shit please

At least Taz finally challenged them to an actual match. I love Taz's promos they are solid gold, but as you said, it was basically the same thing every week forever. The street fight thing is intriguing. Sting is probably too old to do anything other than a cinematic match, but I don't think TNT Champion Darby Allin should be partaking in a cinematic match.

Okay the "This is Sting" thing isn't even an iconic WCW call, and certainly not in the top 10 iconic Schiavone calls. Why are they trying to make it happen? Much like Fetch, it's not going to happen

The Luther promo was corny as fuck, but I popped for everything else in that segment. Marked out hard for Brodie Jr channelling his This is your life Rock and admonishing them for not getting his birthday right, and I felt sad when Hangman said no. But what was interesting was that his reason made perfect sense and it got me interested in what happens next, cuz no way is this over yet

This Luther shit is way too corny

Haven't read any of what was said but going by the heading, I mean he isn't wrong

Blame me for doing this on the phone where 0 and 9 are next to each other. Altho 29th Jan is my birthday so maybe it's like some subconscious message or some shit

Commiserations to Jericho, today must be a difficult day for him

It's like if John Cena showed up in 2000 after a couple months of training and beat HHH in a HitC match

I've basically been over the moon for the last 15 hours. Bought free tequila shots for a bunch of American friends here, and they had no idea what's going on but they took it

LITERALLY NONE OF YOU FUCKERS WILL UNDERSTAND THIS BUT I HAVE TO SHARE THIS. THE INDIAN MALE TEST CRICKET TEAM BEAT A FULL-STRENGTH AUSSIE MALE CRICKET TEAM IN A TEST CRICKET SERIES, DESTROYING THEIR DECADES LONG DOMINANCE AT A GROUND, WHILE FIELDING A SECOND ELEVEN SIDE!! FUCK YEAH BITCHES WE DID IT, FUCK YEAH I AM IRRATIONALLY HAPPY, I LOVE ALL YOU BROTHERS SO FUCKING MUCH <3 <3 <3

Everything about the Fiend Cinematic Universe sucks donkey balls. Watching Raw is waterboarding basically. I watched Bryan-Cesaro from last week's SD. Daniel Bryan is having incredible matches in 2021, 20 years after he had his first incredible match. GOAT

How about someone like Rock who got over as a main event babyface while losing a lot? Even when he was the biggest thing in wrestling in 2000, he was still doing quite a few jobs

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA this is solid gold. Fucking WCW, everybody

Always enjoy your weekly get-togethers!!

That main event was absolutely bonkers. An absolutely awesome match

Deeb-Conti was excellent. How many great matches in the AEW women's division are now due to Serena Deeb? She is awesome
