I was there live, and sir, you are correct. That thing is a marvel in person.

They knocked Revolution out of the park after a couple few weeks of tepid buildup. I'm really excited to see what comes next. And yes, Wardlow vs Hobbs should rule.

*GASP* The audacity! Meet me halfway and climb down out of your own ass and we'll call it even.

Just a heads up, when you phrase shit as nicely and diplomatically as you could, you read like you're wearing a fedora. Saying the guy needs to grow the fuck up doesn't equate to calling for his scalp. I never once said that he should be suspended, get the title stripped from him or fired. That said: This, too.

...are doing mental gymnastics to prove that it isn't, which is pretty sad. And there ya go, though impersonality doesn't have anything to do with it. It was a stupid thing to do because, as an adult, ya don't fucking do that to kids, AND because it opens yourself and your company up to litigation. The verdict is immaterial. That's reading a lot into what I said, but you do you.

He threw tequila on the kid. According to reports, some of it got in his eye. If you've never had alcohol put in your eye, I really don't recommend it. When you're an adult, don't harm kids. Yes, that includes throwing alcoholic drinks on them. Also, don't be the type of adult who says "they'll be fine" about a kid. It is fucking scary to be a kid when an adult acts that irresponsible with you and you can never know what kind of an effect it will have going forward. Good on AEW, Amanda Huber and the members of the audience who went out of their way to comfort the kid. As for MJF, what he did was wildly irresponsible, immature, stupid and just plain shitty. He is very, very lucky that an adult who can handle themself and looking for a reason wasn't around, and there might come a time when that happens. Also, under California law, what he did was simple assault. Beyond that, it's another thing that goes to show that MJF really isn't mature enough for the spot that he's in. I get that being an edgelord is part of his schtick, but it's the very thing that drags down everything that he does. He's shown that he doesn't need it at all, and frankly, neither does AEW. What they need for him is to grow the fuck up.

You're good.

Really hope some of you aren't parents.

That ending was awesome. Rhea is incredible.

Rob Zombie's Lord Humungous black light poster, brought to you by Mt. Dew, killed this crowd dead.

For me, Takeshita is a mix of the Steiners and Muta in '89. Say what you want about his match structure or psychology or whatever, I get it. I find myself not really caring all that much, because of how cool he is. He absolutely could've been my favorite wrestler when I was nine and I love that.

Yeah, but being at the ROH shows in the mid-00's and hearing "Tomorrow's Dream" by Black Sabbath after the pre-show let everyone know where the power lies, brother.

I can listen to this argument. Honestly, WWE still feels pretty nu metal at times. And it sucks. At least Smackdown has some AC/DC kickin'. One thing I love about AEW is the music, for the most part, isn't fuckin' embarrassing. I'm glad Tony is willing to shell out the money for things like "Jane." Now, if we could just get that war crime that is Bryan Danielson's theme off the airwaves.

Exactly what should be done.

Jericho vs Jay Briscoe would kick all kinds of ass.

I had to bartend one of their concerts. It was EXCRUCIATING.

And yes, that means beating Danielson and Mox in succession, but I think the fanbase will buy it and it's putting the belt on one of two pillars that's actually capable of carrying it.

I think the best play for the World Title tournament is Darby.

Couldn't agree more, Thread Killer.

The one match WWE has that I will go out of my way to see.

What a tag team they would've made.

I keep seeing youtube commercials for The Last Match and they're coming off kinda gross. Can't make it through 'em, especially when Tommy Young is like "Well, pro wrestling is bad for marriages," when naw, Ric is actually just a cheating piece of shit.

I was at Blood and Guts. He got the biggest pop of the night, hands down. As far as his Top 100 candidacy, I think the next few years could very well push him into the lower quarter to half. He's really put it all together since coming back from rehab. It seems to me that Jon Moxley and the idea of Jon Moxley have finally met. I remember watching his non-deathmatch indy stuff and there was a bit of a disconnect between his gimmick and his ring work. Some of his offense, including a finisher that he used, just didn't really fit him. His WWE run contains a lot of good stuff, and those Shield six mans vs the Wyatt family are great, but he was really handicapped there and at times he was really checked out. Since coming back from rehab, he's just been on fire and there are a lot of matchups still on the table that have the potential to be something special.

Same here. The thing with the Arn podcast is that the most interesting episodes have been the ones concerning the beginning of his career. The first handful of episodes from when it first started and the first handful of episodes after it switched formats are really, really good. To be honest, once you get past halfway through '86, the Horsemen era really isn't all that interesting because we've heard all the stories. On top of that, neither Conrad or Paul Bromwell really give Arn anything to work with. It's pretty much "Well, the next night, you were in Raleigh taking on..." At this point, I just wanna hear about the Dangerous Alliance era up and WCW up until Hogan came in, but with a different host. Hell, pair him off with Brian Last.

I had disc 6 of the Portland set on while I worked from home today. That angle where Dynamite turns on Buddy is so awesome.
