Hook is okay but he's also not square enough.

It's like goldy or bronzy, but made of iron.

I mean, if we're using Taz as the standard then the only other wrestler square enough is Ishii.

If you are related to Taz in any way I expect a certain base level of squareness.

Hook is incredibly square but is currently working the camera angles like a pro so we can't tell. They're holding off on the reveal until there are crowds again, the pop will register on seismographs.

Have they mentioned a date for the women's tournament yet, or if it's going to be on Dynamite or YouTube? Feels like each time they've mentioned it on TV it's been a vague "this is happening soon!" kind of thing with no concrete details other than the first match.

It was announced as existing two weeks ago and the first match was announced last week.

Nope. I'd expect most of it on youtube (especially the Japanese side) and maybe the semi and quarter finals on Dynamite leading up to Revolution.

Hell yea welcome, the live threads are a lot of fun. If you have the opportunity, going back to watch a few of the best matches in AEW's young history is a really fun time. I recommend...

Jon Moxley Vs Kenny Omega from Full Gear 2019
Brodie Lee Vs. Dustin Rhodes from Dynamite 9/9/2020
Cody Rhodes Vs. Dustin Rhodes from Double or Nothing 2019
Nyla Rose Vs. Riho from Dynamite 12/2/2020
Best Friends Vs. Proud and Powerful from Dynamite 9/16/2020

I will add to this list with some more Dynamite matches:
Kenny Omega & Hangman Page vs. Lucha Bros - 2/19/20
Kenny Omega vs. Pac (30 minute Iron Man match) - 2/26/20 (seriously two MOTYC matches in consecutive weeks)
Chris Jericho & Sammy Guevara vs. Kenny Omega & Matt Hardy - 5/6/20
Cody vs. Eddie Kingston - 7/22/20
Santana & Ortiz vs. Best Friends (Parking Lot Brawl) - 9/16/20

If they're going for a 16-person tournament then at least the majority of first round matches would almost certainly have to be on youtube, yeah.

I think that was Brian Cage, who is basically a protein golem entirely made of muscles. He's awesome.
