PAC was the ultimate under rated guy. He always felt like he'd get a world title run one day but other guys seemed more likely in the immediate. To me, PAC had the perfect in-ring mindset for a heel. He'd always change his approach to the face he was against. Orange Cassidy is the most obvious.

Catching up on Dynamite and I LOVED that promo between Swerve & New Level v Hangman & Brodido. I'd say if you came into AEW on that episode, you'd have a very clear understanding of the dynamic between all six men just from that. Also enjoyed how unaffected, and almost amused, by Swerve saying

Catching up on Collision and loved that PAC & Dogs vs Bang Bang Gang match was so good. Didn't realise they'd turned the finish around until they surrounded Austin, which is what you want in a turn around like that. #AEW

Finally watching Dynamite. Could have watched it earlier but I had work and figured I'd save it cause this will be an emotional one. Curious if the Hanger & Swerve angle will factor that both are likely going to use 2 unrelated guys to get at one another.

Before we get too far away from and it fades from people's memories, I have some closing thoughts on the C3 but also tournaments as a whole in AEW. The biggest hurdle they have right now is a large portion of the audience viewing them solely as a vehicle for who will be pushed. Yes, this is largely

Watching Dynamite now and noticing that not only does Steve Borden have some great athleticism but AEW are kind of playing into him being eager yet green. He gets his ass beat by the DCF which is a good way to get him some in-ring action, some good old babyface sympathy heat, and the DCF get to be

Feel like All In might have rewired my brain on wrestling. I hop on here and see people talking about ratings, throwing hot takes instead of discussion, tribalism, etc , etc, and I just get tired. That stuff makes me log off now.

something that's really difficult to get across to younger wrestlers and fans today is that, not too long ago, the idea of making it to WWE from the UK indies was *unthinkable*. Long before NXT UK, and before the likes of Drew McIntyre and Wade Barrett made it over there, Paul Burchill signing...

#AEWDoesn'tTellStories, a thread. On June 17th 2023, AEW debuted a third show (and soft brand split at the time) with Collision. One of the questions asked about the show at the time was why Nigel McGuinness was being included alongside legendary wrestling commentators like Kevin Kelly and good...

I prefer having space between an experience and giving an full opinion, particularly when I really enjoy something. For All In, the only negative things I can still think to say are down to personal preferences. Looking objectively at it, it's one of AEW's best shows.

MyAEW really need to work on the browsability (That doesn't feel like a word.) I'm trying to look through some 2022 episodes to find something but it's not helping. Search function doesn't recognise dates. Doing a given year gets me results from all over the place for example.

Dunno who the host is but she's been a lot of fun in these things. This is easily my favourite one. Whoever thought of having a tea parties with wrestlers and made sure the Bang Bang Gang was in the first handful, needs a raise.

"Do ya'll mind if a white boy parlez vous a little Francais?" -Hangman, Oct 6 (Probably)

A picture of the far off future of the 6th of October, 2026. Hangman Adam Page has taken a long drag of his cigarette, adjusts his Saint Laurent button up, and leans into the wine glass to speak Quebecian to the attending folk (collective noun for the French) of French.
Bandido had just moments ago said that Hangman wore a sombrero in Mexico so it's only fair he gets to wear a beret in France. Brody King wonders what he meant behind his newly curled and cigarette burned moustache.
A riot shall ensue momentarily.

Finally able to watch #AEW and I see United Empire aren't turning on Ospreay. There's still time to make all the UE stuff worthwhile but the closer we get to All in, the more I'm starting to wonder if there ever was a plan for UE to meaningfully to ever be involved with the Ospreay & DR stuff.

Had to make a choice ahead of time whether I spend my spare time would go to the G1 Climax or the 5STAR. Looks like I couldn't have gone wrong either way but I've been loving the 5STAR. I'm surprised by the G1's winner but for all I know, it makes more sense in the context of the tourney.

Every wrestler, if they do it long enough, will have to do the "confronted with my mortality" promo eventually. Maybe it's because that self-made documentary of his (Watch it if you haven't) but Nigel is at his most compelling when dealing with his mortality. It'll be Mox v McGuinness as the final.

Maybe it's just me but for a while now it feels like crowds in AEW really don't boo heels like they used to. They'll boo when a heel cheats but go right back to cheering them like they have short term memory loss. Outside Don Callis and Yuta, no heel gets consistently boo'd any more. #AEW

Catching up on Collision before I lose power for the night. It still makes me laugh that people will boo Yuta for the same thing Mox did despite Mox doing even more after that too. If there's one thing you can't call an AEW crowd, it's consistent.

Wrestling 'Journalists' when they have 40 hours of wrestling to watch each week and because that one promotion put on a PPV.

Likely because he doesn't know what a pause button is or how to manage his own time.

Was worried AEW were changing up the Continental Classic and was gonna be annoyed. But an elimination round tourney sounds like fun and gives the Continental Title an even more robust identity of "the fighting man's belt". Gives us something to tide me over til the best time of the year, the C2.

There it is, Kenny! "You thought about doing yourself and wanted a thank you for it." Not what I expected prior to the PPV so I wasn't feeling for a moment but that was compelling. Neither guy feels like they're in the wrong. A clash of two forces at the top of the mountain. #AEWDynamite

I'll admit, I wasn't feeling the moment when Willow won the world title. I wanted more of a build because I thought Willow's crowning moment should have more anticipation, but more importantly, more emotion in it. And Willow put all the emotion into her crowning promo. #AEWDynamite

Every match since the Owen, it feels like Maya is wrestling a little more confidently. Or it could be that she's found her groove within AEW, it usually takes a while for people to adjust to TV wrestling and finding their place in such a stacked roster. #AEWDynamite.

Been thinking about the AEW PPV finish some more and wanna wait for Dynamite to see what Kenny and Ospreay say on things. Obviously my prediction has been thrown out the window but I might still double down on a fall of Ospreay. Could also be I want Omega to retain so badly I'm now delusional.
