Dieno vs Minoru Suzuki for the DDT Universal Title was TRUE cinema. The tougher-than-tough Suzuki versus Dieno, a “silly” wrestler he doesn’t take seriously. Can Dieno meet Suzuki on his own terms and earn his respect or will he be true to himself? THIS is pro wrestling. 🥹⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Interesting extra to The Entertainment releasing Ron Killings and Carlito: neither of them are white. 🤔

Watched yesterday’s #TJPW and the debut of Ren Konatsu was quite good. The fact that she was willing to go for a top rope attack in a Teej ring, which is largely ground-based, almost immediately sets her apart.

Not to sound like Max Caster but, nah, AEW does not need Ron Killings. They have more than enough aging ex-WWE guys. This is precisely what Ospreay was talking about in terms of keeping a high bar for entry.

Having Shinya Aoki and Jun Akiyama go on immediately after a trios match where the wrestlers all took turns sticking their faces in Dieno’s butt is the ineffable joy of DDT.

Looks like Triller has Collision starting in 3 and a half hours… which is normal with a sports lead in. Blah. Well, I guess I can catch up DDT in the meantime.

Ugetsu. Just picked up the Criterion 4K UHD and I’m ready to have my heart broken again.

Unpopular opinion: Abadon hit their ceiling at AEW. The gimmick is limiting. It sucks but, with all the goodwill in the world, they were never getting back out of the Ring of Honor-verse.

Brick is definitely lonely since I moved here. If I’m at work he posts up on my pillows since they’re the things that most smell like me. If I hit the store for a minute, I’ll come back and he’ll be howling… which he has NEVER done before. Poor old man.

Someone needs to be a smartass and report Mariah May going to WWE using a picture of Tiffany Stratton.

Well, if #TJPW is running three shows during All In week then there is a very high chance Yuka Sakazaki will show up and that will make me a happy nerd. And it won’t be part of The Collective so there won’t be a bunch of empty front row seats because people bought weekend passes and no showed.

Looks like Toni Storm’s prediction of her being sentenced to a life of mediocrity is going to come true… though, frankly, there’s not much left for Mariah to accomplish. No Rosegold reunion.

MAO hit SHO with his bicycle… then dragged him outside and hit him with a van… then rolled him back into the venue on a cart. Give him all the belts. #BOSJ32

Give me a Speedball & MAO tag team match at Forbidden Door. The streets need a Moonlight Express reunion. (It’s me. I’m the streets.)

If Darby vs Mox was ever the plan, it isn’t now and I’m going to stop treating it like it’s a thing. Maybe as part of an ad hoc faction to counter the Death Riders before All In, but it’s not his story anymore.

My favorite tiny moment in #AEWDoN was Kenny holding the mic in front of some poor woman in the front row after telling everyone to sing along to “Bodies” and she VERY CLEARLY didn’t know the lyrics.

No disrespect meant to Dustin and Sammy, but they really need to find some credible opponents for The Hurt Syndicate. So far they’ve had nothing but layups.

Watching the scrum and yes, Toni Storm, you CAN smoke cannibis in Arizona. Spark that loud, Queen.

It’s just making its way into my feed but Peter David, man. What a body of work. I started getting back into comics specifically because of his runs on Madrox and X-Factor. Even when I couldn’t afford any other books, I still collected that.

No blood… now they won’t even allow the throat slit gesture? Man, TNA really is rolling out the red carpet for a WWE buyout. And for what? To have a bland D show behind NXT, Smackdown and Raw? Well, their loss is AEW’s gain.
