I'm under the impression that WCW's biggest show of the year, their version of WrestleMania, was Starrcade. Was that always true? In 1991, with all the Lethal Lottery matches, that doesn't seem like a company doing their biggest show of the year. If it wasn't Starrcade, then what was it? 🤼‍♀️

For a second I was like "yikes!" at this Fightful headline, but eventually I got it.

It's clearly not gonna happen, but Kenny Omega vs. Brody King vs. Komander vs. Mascara Dorada would be one hell of a time.

That Jarrett-Lethal-Satnam-Sonjay stable is apparently called "Heat". I had no idea.

Jeff Cannonball got dealt a bad hand, but anyone who can get $45k on their GoFundMe in less than 12 hours has to know that they've got lots and lots of people in their corner.

Learned from the comments that there are actually people paying for Nitro. Surprising!

You know Gabe and Speedball are itching to repeat that foot-biting spot from MLP on a bigger stage. Haters will say it's unsanitary

He's just been such a weasel throughout this whole thing that I'd be careful about thinking "hey he flipped, he's on the defense's side now". Also can't say I'm happy about the weaselly behavior paying off for him.

All In has already sold well over 10x as many tickets as the capacity for the GAB venue. By the day of the show it could realistically be 20x or even 30x. If anyone's flipping back and forth between the 2 shows, NXT's only going to suffer by comparison.

Right now, I almost see the counterprogramming as WWE having to play defense rather than trying to hurt AEW. What would happen if WWE left their fans with no wrestling to watch on the Saturday, and some of them decided to check out All In? They'd stand a good chance of losing those fans.

Working my way through Double or Nothing. I'm spoiled on the main event finish, but I wasn't spoiled on the music choices for Anarchy in the Arena!

Was tempted to reply with "ACTUALLY it's not Vengeance or Payback, it's Saturday Night's Main Event. And Kharma has been retired for a few years now"

Wingstop: A restaurant where you stop eating wings. They serve salads only. GameStop: A store where you stop playing video games. They sell school textbooks.

I'm not sure how much of a connection Danielson has to Dean and DVDVR, but I do know that DVDVR was the first place I ever heard about the American Dragon, back before ROH even existed. So that's being on board from day 1. Love that Bryan puts over Adam Priest. Rightfully so!

I made a kind of snorting noise at the "If you come into a WWE locker room again, I will have you arrested" part. Great read.

Take a second and think about how absolutely mind-blowing it is that we're getting this show for free. Especially for the live crowd.

Saw a guy wearing a Maple Leaf Pro ball cap on the subway this morning. MLP did just run a show here, but it's still surprising because it's so rare nowadays to see anyone wearing wrestling stuff out in the wild. Like, I've never even seen anyone wearing AEW merch outside of a show.

BEAST MORTOS VS SLIM J~!! ARE YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW!! @actiondean.bsky.social @actionwrestling.bsky.social
