Had some friends over to watch it last night and everyone was yelling and screaming, reminded me of 20 years ago! I haven't had this much fun watching loving wrestling in decades.

That was great fun, Jungle Boy / Luchasauras totally stole the show. My girlfriend (probably yours too) is in love with Jungle Boy.... who i did not know was Luke Perrys son, lol.

Thank God for the G1

The bad thing about the G1 is that it's so good that it makes me lose interest in all other wrestling. FFTF was a solid show but I still walked away from it comparing it to G1 Night 2, which was just a better all around show from both a quality and timing perspective.

I really enjoyed the whole show. The only match I wasn’t into was Brandi vs Allie, but that wasn’t a bad match at all. I actually thought kip vs page was great.

We have the same girlfriend?!

Mine loves him too, and so do I. I loving love that they're officially called "A Boy And His Dinosaur" now, and it makes zero sense for Marko to be with them but I love that, too. Jungle Boy riding Luchasaurus to the ring then Marko rising on Jungle Boy's back was amazing.

Luchasaurus was also my girlfriend's MVP of the night. That dude stole the tag match.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

What's amazing to me is for a what, four hour show (counting pre-show), it moved at such an incredibly brisk pace.

I feel like the thing confusing a lot of people is that matches like Page/White and Page/Cobb feel almost like they came from a completely different wrestler than Hangman's last couple matches. He's not wrestling like an insane firey babyface any more, he's just wrestling like a big man who's good at wrestling. But we've got proof from last year he can do more! It's very weird.

the women's matches have been iffy since it feels like they're still learning how to work with each other. This though


idk how Dawson can throw shade at what is the best tag team division right now + being booked to loving lose constantly in non-tag matches which makes them look like geeks. but hey im sure the tag team main events tonight will be fire lol

Wikipedia lists his tag title reign with Nick Lovin - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Avalon#Championships_and_accomplishments

And I hadn't considered it, but I would absolutely be on board if they brought him on as the third Librarian. Especially if they introduce him nWo Third Man style. He comes to the ring during a beatdown, wearing a polo shirt and sweater vest, carrying a stack of books. But Marvez still yells, "But who's side is he on!?!"

It's just a kick that happens like 100 times in a match. It doesn't look any different than any other time someone stomps someone, but obviously it is. I figured it'd have happened on a more wild looking kick but it always seems like it's the basic/freak things where a lot of injuries happen.

I got waaaay too high last night and don't remember much of the show but I'm real glad I won't have to listen to commentary at All Out.

Jericho is starting to get that lifetime drinker red patina going. And the marker he used for blood on his hand was very obvious. I still don't give a poo poo about the title match so they better have some barnburner promos from both on Road to All Out.
