It took me 40 minutes to finally get my order through tonight.

Was a bit worried I might get an extra shirt or two since it kept getting stuck at the final part. Got an email so that was how I knew it finally went through even if the screen was still stuck in the loading portion.

I'm hopeful for more dark order and Hangman stuff in 2021

it's not really like he's got much else to do in the singles realm yet and Kenny is going to probably hold the strap for at least a year, you only need about 6 months to build Hangmans redemption arc and it should be fueled by his good pals the spooky perverts!

I haven't been able to watch the last couple weeks but I've been reading the recaps so don't throw perfectly executed dark order discus lariats in my direction but is Jon Moxley performing all over the indies and not in AEW right now outside of pre-taped promos?

I looked at his wikipedia to see what he's been up to lately and it looks like he's in every company except AEW so that seems wild. Is it a Kenny situation where they're both doing world tours?

He hasn’t wrestled anywhere since dropping the title, I don’t think. At least based on his cagematch page.

Wrestler wikipedia pages are incredibly strangely laid out, the "Return to Independent scene" section is placed after all of his AEW stuff but has coincided with it in terms of actual real life time

This is one reason why I love AEW. It doesn't feel like it's connected to all that horrible crap that happens in the business. Look at how Brodie's condition was kept a secret and never got out. That doesn't happen. Ever. Someone gets sick you hear about it. You always hear about it.

AEW may have some flaws but it feels like it has given the wrestlers a more positive environment to do their thing in and actually respects us as fans.

It's helped reignite my love of wrestling where as it felt like the WWE actively hates and blames the fans most of the time and actively lets someone win as a FU towards the people. That doesn't even begin to go in how they treat the wrestlers or staff which is half the time horrid.

That's what Schiavone just said in the postshow. I honestly thought they might 86 the whole thing

they really should. just make the ftw belt the midcard belt and go from next week. not like darby's had any sort of run with it besides looking like he was gonna cry holding it up. doesnt even carry the thing half the time.

really really beautiful show, cried multiple times throughout, loved all the heartfelt stories and little nods and homages from ppl in the ring. it really really does seem like he was one of the best-loved people in wrestling..... ever. it really struck me partway through that a big reason they did this whole thing was to put a smile on brodie jr's face and i just broke down. im really really glad they just decided to take a week and celebrate a guy they all really seemed to love.

Someone mentioned a viking funeral feel to the night early on and it really did feel like a proper cathartic tribute and sendoff to a friend. We'll obviously never forget him but it feels easier to go and have a normal wrestling show next week after a night like this.

Wrestling is an ugly and terrible business that often leaves me wondering why I support it, but that was probably the most beautiful night of it I've ever seen. Fitting considering the wonderful man Brodie Lee appears to have been.

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.

The Khans own some sort of music things, so I assume part of that is the rights for songs and adding them to this portfolio, while not super economic, isn't just throwing money away for AEW stuff.
