Oh man the Austin Theory shit is hilarious. He about to disappear.
Hey man shits harder when the new boss doesn't want to fuck you like the old one did! He should just change his name to "Vince's muscle twink" at this point.
They're making a movie about the Von Erichs and just announced MJF is going to be in it. Atiba you know who he's playing? I know you're much better informed about that kind of thing than I am.
So yeah TFTT is kind of what I expected although I know everyone except Rocky Iaukea. Definitely a favor to Dwayne but the stories are great. It's a chapter of wrestling history I was never really exposed to as a kid so I'm always excited when I get to see shit like this. It was great to see Bruno. It's weird that he's not a regular on the podcast scene or something since he can still talk his ass off haha. Also, I genuinely didn't realise Lars Anderson was still alive. The King Curtis story was hilarious. I can see why Sullivan and him got along so well. Kevin Sullivan cracks me up... He's just the walking embodiment of carny wrestling and he's perfect for these shows.
Next week is Portland. That should be a killer episode, loads of insanity that took place there in the 80s. I would almost prefer a run of 2 hour episodes for like Portland, Memphis, Dallas, and Florida. I feel like there's probably a lot of amazing shit that's going to get left out just by necessity.
Dark continues to be the best AEW show. Taz and Excalibur alone without Tony or Ian or JR, the matches are short and crisp, you get to see people other than the usual 25-30 guys in Tony's toybox. Dailys place is a really good wrestling venue too, the crowd isn't too smarky or trying to get itself over all show like half the dynamites have been lately.
- It seems like they're changing Cass' character (he's now being referred to as "Big Bill") already which I assume means that the firm is either dead in the water or heading the way of the dork order.
- Anna Jay looks so much better in this gimmick. Also, fuck you Hungle Boy.
- Brian Pillman Jr is really leaning into this Kenny Omega cosplay and it's not pretty. Griff Garrison can work pretty good though... there's something there if the right person gets ahold of him.
- Hobbs is a star and they need to get him in a program with Wardlow ASAP. Kingston got the biggest pop of the night so they need to find something better for him too.
- AR Fox was on and did some really good looking shit... I'd love to see him become a dark regular and revisit that legendary swerve match at some point.
