Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

That was a really fun episode and next week looks insane.

Not much to say except AEW rules and I think they've hit this amazing groove where pretty much any matchup they can put on the card is going to be really fun and have a hot crowd. There's just such a diverse cast of wrestlers on the roster, every match feels unique and fresh or there's some fun storyline intrigue.

Like I saw Miro murder Fuego Del Sol in person. I should not be this excited for a rematch, but I am because Fuego wanted it, he's seen the tricks to take down Miro, and he's confident enough in himself to put that car up as collateral. That's good stuff right there.

Going to try an ask here, is there a reason why several AEW wrestlers only use a single elbow pad, instead of two or none?

It's probably something they wear on their dominant elbow if it's something they use more often? You learn in wrestling school to never land on your elbows so the people who wear them may either have problems not putting their elbows back when taking bumps, have elbow issues already and want to protect them, or use that elbow in moves and don't want to crack people in the head with their elbow bone.

Also, when did the show end live for everybody? I had to catch up this morning on Fite and it cuts off just after they tease the Gotch Style Piledriver on the table.

I always assumed in kayfabe it was because they do more damage without it so they leave the padding off the one they use to hit people with.

This could be the most one-sided fight since 1973 when Ali faced an eighty-foot tall mechanical Joe Frazier. My memory isn't what it used to be, but I think the entire Earth was destroyed.

Anybody have any idea what the taping schedule is for next Wednesday? Are they only doing dynamite and rampage, or are they doing dark too? If they’re taping till midnight I’m probably not getting home till like 4 in the morning

Dark Elevation starts taping at around 7, then Dynamite, then Rampage. It’s gonna be a late night.

Watching live on Fite it went all the way to JR saying goodnight. Might just have messed up the VOD cut.

Unrelated but Punk could join the booth tomorrow, he's still a natural at commentary.

I think I’m still stuck in the WWE mindset where there is a PPV every month, so it somehow feels weird that they are doing Danielson vs Omega on free tv.

But of course it wouldn’t make much sense to start a feud and then wait three months to fight.

Mark Madden was at the Dynamite in Pittsburgh (I don't know if he was shown on TV, but he was in one of the front rows) and most of the crowd kept booing him, it was awesome.

My wife is not originally form Pittsburgh and had no idea who he was, so I had to explain that he was a lovely wrestling commentator who turned into a lovely sports commentator here.

Norm had a running joke on Weekend Update where he'd jokingly reveal the identity of a person in a news story by saying "You guessed it, Frank Stallone". Frank is Sly's no talent brother and apparently hated the joke (although he retroactively claimed he thought it was funny after Norm passed).

Also holy poo poo that segment ruled

The absolute treat of watching with someone new to wrestling… she was not at all prepared for the ‘CM Punk is gonna go through the announce table’ spot and kept screaming ‘what are they DOING? what are they DOING?! They can’t do that!’

That was also a super fun segment for me. My Dad texted me immediately "Punk's goin thru table cuz he's on commentary" thanks to 40 years of watching wrestling. My wife said "I am the table" after it happened and I thought about asking her to marry me all over again.

The Tony Schiavone attack did it.

I don't think the right move is to turn Cole into a whimpering controlling boyfriend (that just feels gross and doesn't match Britt's character either) but if you have him keep calling Tony a nerd and stuff it'll click.
