Did anyone else get really hung up on the "anger in every pocket" line to the point where they missed a chunk of the promo, because that might be why I'm less mad. What a weird turn of phrase.

I liked everything but I do think you could have just not had Jericho there, had Sammy accept the challenge in a fit of youthful bravado, and it would have been better

Sabu still wrestles?
Also I don't know who works where in Mexico so is there any chance Kenny could defend the AAA Mega Championship against any of those guys?
Does Scott Steiner still dust off the tights from time to time? I remember him teaming with Cage against OC and ??? at some indie show but I don't know how long ago that was.

It was also really funny how they said Santana was arrested for his fork action in Blood Guts to cover that he probably just had other plans or missed a flight or something.

Oh yeah, it was lost in the shuffle a bit. Serena Deeb is back and healthy! That rules. Red Velvet getting this title opportunity is also a good chance for her to continue proving her skill.

According to Dave, Santana was sick and they weren't taking any chances with covid.

And as for all the Pac/OC match improv stuff, JR's line of "how do you miss [Kenny] in that suit?" after the belt shot was amazing. And I'll reiterate how much better it was having Schiavone be the Tony to deliver the triple threat announcement rather than Khan.

Aside from Cody I have two questions;

1) With Yuji Nagata having now wrestled on Dynamite, how many active wrestlers are left that wrestled on TNT in the WCW days that have never appeared on Dynamite. We have Rey Mysterio Jr and...CIMA was on at least one Dynamite hasn't he? Are we counting Goldberg as 'active?'

Kaz Hayashi is still very active in Japan, used to be with NOAH and is now with GLEAT. Shannon Moore is also somewhat active in Florida (unless I missed him in one of the Hardy Compound segments and he doesn't count). Also Chavo is still sort of active, even if most of it is Talk'n'Shop.

Cody is going to catch Ogogo in the figure four when QT distracts the referee so that Penta can hit the Fear Factor, Shida the Tamashii, Kenny the One Winged Angel, Miro with the GAME OVER, M'Badu with whatever he has, Angelico picks a random Navarro Especial, and then Ogogo will punch Cody in the dick as the new League of Nations celebrate the victory.

The American Nightmare is a much better nickname than the American Dream in every way, so pretty much every part of this angle seems designed to make me do a full 180 on Cody. Like it feels specifically targeted at me with that as the desired result.

It's going to rule. You have the opposing countries storyline and also wrestler vs. boxer. Ogogo can throw a punch but what else can he do? Can Cody grapple around that and keep coming up with ways to avoid the big punch? I can't wait. USA #1

I'm for sure an absolute psychopath in a lot of ways, but I'm not really angry, and I'm not seeing much anger here at all. It's more... What's the feeling called when you think of something and it makes you make a face like you just smelled a fart? I'm that, and that's the vibe I'm getting from most other people here.

THE LIAR
The thing about Cody's promo that tweaks me is I feel like there was room for a really great reimagining of the hard times promo to lead into him calling himself the American Dream, but Cody went in a completely different direction that didn't resonate with me at all, besides the stuff about his daughter, which I really did like.

"And sure, they say it's because of 'hard times.' No. 'Hard times' is showing up here EVERY. drat. WEDNESDAY."

*Pop*

"You want to talk about 'hard times?' How about the brave men and women in uniform that protect us? It's the first responders. It's losing your job because you were too busy reporting Botchamania videos and replying pig poop balls to WWE stan accounts on Twitter with five followers."

greetings sweeties, let me give you a back massage. for i am a whiz!


The two parts about the Cody promo that reeeeeallly didn't work for me (besides overt nationalism, which is an acceptable beat but something I'm against personally) were him saying he's never been not proud to be an American (a brain-dead conclusion), and his naivete regarding his daughter's identity. Really made him seem stupid, which is something AEW doesn't really let their faces be that often.

Show was great besides that, hope OC is ok.

E: I guess they could have had a stronger water cannon and Jericho could have stayed away too but that's just icing stuff.
