Thank you. AEW is good at this whole storytelling thing because i picked up most of that in the last few months of dynamite. I watched the Brodie tribute when it aired and man it was a gut punch, dude was great. I started watching elevation from episode one about a week ago, and seeing -1 show up at ringside is touching, and pretty funny when he throws kicks at the orders opponents, and prompted my question.

What's the deal with Justin Roberts and his "North Carolina" schtick when introducing Kenny Omega? I feel like I definitely missed something.

He’s the Michael Jordan of wrestling. Jordan is from North Carolina

I'd also like to mention Orange Cassidy vs Hardy was a fun lumberjack match with a unique story of the lumberjacks being 90% heels, and Best Friends being the only ones to understand the assignment of what being a lumberjack means.

It also gave us the best friends dressed as lumberjacks, which was pretty funny.

Why didn't Shane Douglas make as much of an impact or have as much longevity as other ECW alumni?

Like other failed franchises, he expanded too fast.

Anyone have any examples of botched 3 counts? Like a wrestler is concussed from a bad bump and then kicks out of something that was supposed to be a match ending fall?

Gonna blame this post for the finish in the 4-way tonight.

The Most 1990s thing about Vertebreaker is that the character "Vertebreaker" never even appeared in a Spawn comic, to my knowledge.

1. Todd McFarlane created a super evil badass extreme demon named THE VIOLATOR in the second issue of Spawn.
2. In a weird flex that eventually led to a bunch of lawsuits he paid six figures to Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman, Dave Sim, and Frank Miller to all write single issues of Spawn to prove "Image has the best writers AND artists".
3. Alan Moore in his single issue decides that Violator should have demon brothers named Vindicator, Vandalizer, Vaporizer, and Vacillator. This is maybe a parody of Sandman?
4. This concept somehow spins off into multiple mini-series that Alan Moore also writes, which become increasingly slapstick.
5. Todd McFarlane Toys decides making 'new' version of Violator is a good idea, but something more badass and serious than Alan Moore's stuff. Also possibly to avoid lawsuit, they create VERTEBREAKER as an even more extreme monstery Violator.
6. Vertebreaker never appears in the comics.
7. Shane Helms sees a Spawn toy and goes "yes, that is the name of my finisher".

This rules, thank you for sharing. :tipshat:

There wasn't any specific visual thing that caused it. It was just a random audio screwup. They cut to some backstage brawl on Raw, and you could hear the feed from a cameraman's headset. The audio we heard was "Camera 6, you're in a worst-case scenario. Worst-case scenario, Randy!"

Thank you. I knew we heard someone say camera six but couldn’t remember why. :tipshat:
