When Jamie Hayter used to give wet willies to everyone 😅 (She wasn't All Elite yet but they wrote her off after Brandi blindsided her and the Nightmare Collective soon began. Oh, those dark early days...) #AEW

Bret's first official appearance on WWE TV in 10 years since Montreal (not counting HOF). I always loved this clip. Still applicable today. Vince could always use a few.. 👊 🤜 #brethart #wrestlesky

"Where are you going? I was going to make espresso..."

Some fans got so strongly attached to AEW's year 1 and 2 roster to the point that letting even one of them go or not giving them TV time is a 'fumble.' That's the 'gatekeeping' I'm talking about I see quite frequently.

I haven't had decent biscuits in so long. Not since Cracker Barrel and Red Lobster I think. Wonder what's Hangman's favorite? #AEWDynamite #wrestlesky

Considering how rare OC loses these days, that was a statement win by Takeshita and excellent main event. #AEWDynamite firing on all cylinders again.

Death Riders "dropping like flies," Willow gets payback too. I'm intrigued even more now as to how this will all unfold at Revolution. #AEWDynamite

Turns out it wasn't just cheap heat. He really is a Birds fan LOL #AEWDynamite #Ricochet #GoBirds

Nuclear heat, trolling San Diego, and repping the real world champs?! Best heel in AEW today, ha-ha! #AEWDynamite #FlyEaglesFly

Seeing Billie Starkz just reminded me belatedly that ROH had that Roman/Bloodline story all along with Athena's world title reign now being over 800 days, complete with two failed attempts by Billie I think? She got to finish her story! #AEWDynamite #ROH

If there's one talent AEW can't afford to lose, it's Hangman. He truly has come such a long way since day one. #AEWDynamite

Actually, I say let more guys go to WWE/NXT/TNA or anywhere else if they wish. Enough with the 'bloated roster' talks and how everyone needs to be on TV or how any (IWC favorite) hasn't been on Dynamite in months. Not gonna hurt AEW that much at this point. Let the other roster be more 'bloated'

As bad as the grifters are, I think Pllana Productions is still one of the worst wrestling channels today for the amount of subscribers it has. Mr. "I can't support WWE anymore" for the millionth time, master at parroting every podcaster, and still holding a massive grudge at AEW over copyrights.

AJ Styles, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn? They're not leaving and that's perfectly okay. They got it good over there. AEW don't need them long-term if ever. Only one I would honestly want atm is Gunther and maybe Dragunov. As for the women, probably Iyo, Roxanne, or anyone excellent in the ring.

Murs has always been solid but for me, his collabs with 9th Wonder were classics, esp "Murs 3:16". Also the first rapper to get a verse and video cameo from John Cena. I guess this means Max's open challenge will end pretty soon?

Is it just me? Why does the sound quality for HOOK's Action Bronson theme always sound awful on TV whenever he comes out? Does it sound okay live? #aew

Before with WWE, the criticism was why guys like Danielson, Punk, etc. were not being pushed. With AEW, it's basically why the ENTIRE roster is not being pushed or on TV and a lot of 'gatekeeping' against signing new talent bc the roster is 'bloated.' (Cont)

Favorite themes in AEW today? Off the bat... Christian Cage Julia Hart Hurt Syndicate Adam Copeland Kenny Omega (Battle Cry) Okada The Gunns Lio Rush S.A.P.'s music (Spanish Announce Project) was a forgotten gem too

Was it Tranquilo Club that put the word "cinema" into the IWC lingo? Whoever it was, they have created a monster. I never want to hear that word associated with pro wrestling again.

Man, they got me hoping for Bandido to win that. But great main event nonetheless. #AEWCollision has been getting so much better this year since Rampage got dropped. All the little things they've tightened up and improved upon is more noticeable.

The Rock wants Cody's soul? I think I've seen this before... #smackdown

Shane is what? #AEW

New champ Timeless Toni just continues to amaze on the mic. If not Mariah again, any chance we run back Hayter/Storm? They still have some unfinished business #AEWDynamite

Speaking of meat... TIL he is a chiropractor now? #AEWDynamite

Was that the best live promo Hangman has ever done in the company? Hot start with MJF and this feud gets even better. #AEWDynamite

I almost forgot...What happens to the DEFY World Title now since Ricky 'Saints' is holding it??

Best of luck to the now renamed Ricky Saints. He was good but honestly I don't miss him that much in AEW. His ceiling is not exactly main-event high IMO and will likely be same over there. Somewhere been Miz and LA Knight. But NXT, he'll rule that place for sure.

Completely forgot that Part 3 of Cobra Kai S6 just came out and resubscribed today. It def has been a fun ride. Currently finishing the 2nd ep. Hopefully it comes to a satisfying conclusion. Also it's Wednesday, so you know what...

I don't watch WWE except the occasional YT clips. I don't 'boycott' it or am anti-WWE. But I never liked Triple H though. He had the psychology and selling down and some memorable moments, but he did just enough so fans wouldn't completely dump on him, even as booker today. Always been crafty.

Possibly unpopular opinion: I say AEW should put more new and current talents on ROH regularly. Let them work and tweak things if needed before shining on TV. I know this comes off as very "NXT to main roster," but it's an effective process and gives more reason to watch ROH too.

If you were a fan of Zelda 2 on the NES, the enhanced remake for the PC (by Hoverbat) is a must-play! So many QOL upgrades an tons of new places to explore and all new items to discover while perfectly retaining the gameplay. This is the definitive version for me. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

There were many in the past but this was prob the most memorable small package win in all my early years of watching. Nobody better than Bret.
