Rey in 2003 has an absurd volume of good TV matches, I would definitely rank that somewhere here.

Special shout-out to Dylan Hales for the comparing various wrestlers to HHH thread. It's like my favourite wrestling thread of all time and anyone isolating themselves at home could do worse than read that thread. Same is true for the Vince McMahon v. the world thread - think Kris and jdw did the bulk of the posting there.

This post got me very nostalgic and brought all the feels. And if we are remembering the greatest hits here, we cannot possibly forget the Ric Flair v. Bret Hart comparison from hell thread.

Wow I had completely erased that from my mind.

One upside to Wrestlemania being taped is that Cena-Fiend will probably be quite good once they are done with editing and post-producing. Hopefully.

They are (rightly, imo), postponing Blood and Guts.

Charlotte is challenging for Rhea's title. I think NXT titles were made world titles by the company when it was put on the USA Network.

He has said that he truly felt like he was ready to be a top guy and carry a company at the 2018 WK Omega match. That feud and match was really where he put it together. He's still never had a top face run but he will at some point - the fans love him as it is, although he is good enough to get them to boo him in the ring or on the mic. It will be interesting to see how that run would turn out. He has definitely enhanced his case significantly for the (presumably) 2026 rankings. Although arguably so has Matt Hardy in his own way.

Who would have thought five years back that these two would headline a War Games match against each other in 2020. I really hope AEW pushes Blood and Guts until the pandemic is over, both because I think it's the healthy thing to do and because the match deserves to be in front of a sold out crowd going nuts.

I loved the Matt Hardy reveal. They were careful to keep saying "next Dynamite" so I wouldn't be surprised if they hold off tapings until the pandemic is over. But they gave themselves an out I guess when Jericho just "banned" AEW fans which I thought was pretty clever.

I don't care what anyone says, Sammy singing Jericho's theme is the wrestling segment of the year.

Still don't really care about Dark Order, but Brodie Lee being the head of the Dark Order is more exciting to me than Matt Hardy being its head. Also he got the chance to take a not-so-subtle shot at Vince so more power to him.

AEW has done a much better job of making these empty shows feel refreshing and different than WWE. Although it's hard to be harsh on WWE for that, because these are truly unprecedented circumstances.

India is GMT + 5:30. The last few days have been interesting, cuz every time I wake up, I find out yet another sack of shit has hit the fan and things are in even more disarray.

Trying to imagine what an 80-year old who famously thinks sneezing and coughing are signs of weakness and lack of control is reacting in real time to all these real-world updates

They have just 2 weeks to build Blood and Guts but they are doing a great job so far. Mox is the wild card here.

Credit to AEW, they have made Cassidy a big star.

With the number of 6-man tags they do, they have to be introducing a 6-man title soon.

Really don't like inside shots on screen too much, but "I am married, bay-bay" made me chuckle.

Credit to them, they managed to salvage what could have been absolutely ugly. I was sure for a second that Luchasaurus was going to die.

I don't care what anyone says: Nyla is awesome.

Mox might be Page's mystery partner.

It's a testament to how good Jericho is that even though the fans clearly want to cheer for him, he manages to get booed basically every time he appears on screen.

Ortiz is really good at getting the crowd involved in his shit.

Meltzer definitely makes mistakes, but I don't blame him for getting pissed on Twitter at idiots accusing him of being on the AEW payroll and blindly hating him based on known bullshiters. To some extent, it is how the medium is. There is no space to make a nuanced post like Thread Killer's so snark and insults are the bulk of a majority of responses. He actually retweets a lot of cool historical stuff and talks about pro wrestling, so I enjoy him on Twitter. I think he is nuts for thinking the tag team match at Revolution is the greatest tag match of all time, but him talking about that also meant a bunch of fans watched Fantastics-Midnight Express - he actually found a dailymotion link to the match and posted it - so I don't mind it at all. Recently he also gave a brief rundown of the evolution of escape the cage match rules in various territories. If someone can tune out the standard Twitter toxic bullshit, there is some good stuff there. It is clear that there is a style he loves and it's not a style that appeals to everyone. But, as mentioned above, he has been very hard on AEW on multiple occasions. Maybe it gets lost amongst the cacophony that is Alvarez ranting about everything.
