Cowboy Hats 4.0

I don't have a great feeling with them titling this "Immortal Moments". How long until the DX invasion of WCW gets another spotlight thanks to this?

Could warrant its own thread, given there is a few minutes of wrestling talk (and surprisingly accurate for a non-wrestling fan), but it works here with the DJ talk.

No one who speaks German could be an evil man. But an exception might be made for those damn translators.

I don't know Brian outside of this channel, but he does great work there. The 25-30 minute ppv rewinds give me the right nostalgia hit a few times a month.

Not match order, but at least confirmed matches per night.

And what happened to them, sir?

Ahh, they even mentioned the Chavo talk in one of the clips, good catch. It's worth listening to all, but if you want to be selective, the MJF (in character) and Eddie (because of course) chats are the only true must-listens.

Apologies if this has been covered here, but I didn't see reference to it. Marc Maron has had wrestlers on his podcast in the past (at least Punk, Cabana, Foley, and AJ Lee), though those were probably like eight or nine years ago now. He's 59 and despite those guests and starring in GLOW, has never been interested wrestling, but for some reason, whether it's a need for content for his new subscription service and/or something nice to do for his ~40-something producer, a lifelong fan, Marc is leaning into wrestling a bit. He attended the AEW show in Los Angeles last month and is apparently doing a weekly podcast looking at the wrestling of the week (I've been listening since 2010, but not subscribing to this, at least yet). And from the AEW show comes one of this week's podcast...condensed versions of interviews with TK, Jericho, MJF, Kingston, and a few others. WTF Episode 1408

Is there a defense for the trope of a match to beat the champion just to get an actual title shot? If I recall correctly, they did that twice in the first hour of Dynamite this week? And no issue with the crowd itself, but it looked tiny. What were ticket sales like this week?

Was skimming Eddie Kingston's wiki and couldn't help but laugh/sigh:

I still laugh when I think of this...

Really dug the match and the episode as a whole was well laid out and paced. They did a good job with the 'big fight feel', though that might have been 80% Kingston. Ending things up top is a bummer (though a few cool visuals), but could have been saved with Eddie throwing Claudio off the top. Replace Sammy's dive off with that and you remove some of the lameness that's inherent to the bump.

I mean, none of this is objective. It's a legitimate opinion to think that Baker hasn't been that entertaining since the early stages of her 'cool heel' run. I'd put that nearly entirely on the booking, sure, as she has plenty of charisma. But without any real stories, it's mostly in the service of putting her fingers in the air to say DMD. Even after having watched it over three days, the PPV's biggest sin was its length. 4 hours 40 minutes! It really should be two hours fewer, but even 3.5 hours would be a lot better.

I haven't seen the Rampage main event yet, but has any of the programming mentioned why Wheeler Yuta has not been mentioned once the BCC got dropped into the JAS/Eddie stuff. Presumably he's just the odd man out, but his absence has been weird.
