Hey, I am just now watching the show and what the gently caress was the ending to Darby vs. Cody?

Ok yeah, one dark spot but the rest of the show was incredible. Best Friends was one of the nastiest things I think I've seen on tv in a bit.

Brandi has one of the best spears in the business.

She really only has one truly excellent wrestling move but she's also the best at that move.

Sammy's down for more kinky poo poo than Kip but Kip's a better overall bedroom experience.

Hard disagree on Kip. Kip is good but it's a curated experience and he really only has one so it gets boring. Sammy is absolutely down for anything and loves variety.

Leva is a goon and intentionally baiting the thread.

I'm watching a bunch of old Roppongi Vice matches and I think I've come to the conclusion that Trent is the most underrated guy in wrestling. He is just constantly taking the sickest and nastiest bumps. He makes everyone look amazing because he's absolutely willing to eat the grossest poo poo.

Oh yeah, it's really noticeable once you watch like 5 Trent matches in a row that he takes the grossest bumps but it's never to get over his moves. It's always stuff like him wiping out on the outside as the other guy sneaks away.

The period where he took the biggest and dumbest bumps was because he already had some other nagging injury and was trying to hurt himself in Japan so that he could use Japanese healthcare instead of having to pay out the nose for American since he had no health insurance

Yep, that explains a lot and is very Trent?

It's also weird and interesting to me that Chuck Taylor and Trent Beretta both picked wrestling names after name brands and became a tag team without planning any of it.

Honestly, if there were one thing I'd remove from the vocabulary of wrestling, it'd be matches only really ever ending when somebody hits a finish.

I wouldn't get rid of them entirely, but if one of two matches ended with other moves every week, no matter who was in them, it'd make the entirety of every match matter more.

Wrestling should be formulaic, to a degree, but the matches have gone too far in that direction, IMO.

I like when they have a collection of finisher. I'm a big fan of when a wrestler has like, the flash pin finisher, the regular finisher, and the like super saiyan only busts it out for the big stuff finisher.

this is the arc and i wish it would go faster, i don't like cody enough to care about his babyface stuff

I think they flip the switch after he loses to Archer. I hope they do at least.

Those jackets are ugly as sin and I want one so bad.

Man, remove Joey Janela's name from his and I'd probably snag that jacket. There's just something about having the wrestler's name on a piece of apparel that makes it infinitely more dorky.

Yeah, I'm debating how that would look with some back patches. Maybe slap something over Joey's name.

Good matches even if it has my pet peeve of champion fighting a singles match that's not for the belt. Maybe it will be on the show and they're just not billing it as such.

The 5 minute test actually detects for the virus. The antibody test is useful to figure out who has it and who might be asymptomatic but there is a delay in your body producing antibodies and being infected. So a sick person can test negative on an antibody test.

It seems like AEW is doing their best with covid and are doing it as safe as they can. I also think it's a unintentional reminder of how many places are not handling it well and how the general US attitude is shifting towards "Open up and let people die" which is going to anxiety bomb some people when they hear the show they really like might be doing something dangerous.

QT Marshall has really shown me something over thee past month or so, his tag matches with Dustin had a lot of great spots and he's technically gifted, it sucks that he basically has the charisma of a bag of Wonderbread and bad hair because he's essentially impossible to gimmick in any palatable way

maybe let the guy mask up and start hitting the tanning bed or something, idk

He can lean into the apple stuff. Dress him up in red spandex and a big apple head.
