I think that would be absolutely fine if he had an established heel character who made those sorts of claims and the announcers consistently said he was full of shit. The blueprint is clearly MJF in modern wrestling. But Roman seems to have no consistent moral stance, he buries everyone, wrestlers and fans ackowledge him and annuncers are in awe. So when he says stuff like this, it doesn't come off as anything but a burial of the other belt and champions. As it did the other way around. It's more have your cake and eat it booking that AI is guilty of.

AEW merch stands were empty for months too.

TIL

Cheers Soupy Bakes. Genuinely never ever heard Jackie P, Menty B or Statey Funes. They're all shit but not something I would have known if not for this. Never said Tommy K but we've called it Tommy Sauce since the 90s.

At least you're not 0-6. What a disappointment after two (short) Play-Off campaigns. Shambolic stuff.

Surely even in little Britain, we won't allow that?

Such a cool photo. Imagine what a proper booker could have done with these two.

Peter Kay was ahead of his time. The man saw NostalgiaMania running wild fifteen years before social media and Hollywood caught up. Move over, Simpsons.

If you have a Heron, they do a knock off Nutella, Biscoff spread and peanut butter that come in a plastic tub like Philadelphia cheese does. Cheaper and convenient.

I wouldn't go always, he was fun as a babyface on Smackdown prior to his original injury absence and decent as a heel after Lita shagged him and they got together on TV. I dunno quite when I started to sour on him but I think by the time he was Vicky Guerrero's toyboy, I was out.

Daft how there's such a convention for cans and tins and yet anything in a tub, carton or bottle is different shapes and sizes and has all many of shitty lids and flaps. Those stupid little catch things on Orange Juice cartons are awful and the little inner lid thing on plastic milk bottles that fails to come off cleanly 99% of the time can get to fuck too. Lets get some standards and a proper bloody spout!

They're my favourite bits! Can watch anyone cook!

Just Rab C Nesbitt cooking on YouTube to brighten your day.

I really wish Copeland would cut his hair. It's horrible and makes him look even older and more knackered than he is. A trim would do him the world of good.

Andrade and MJF are both on the horizon. Got to imagine it's one of them and although they're completely different dynamics, I'm quite excited by both. I've really liked the Trios stuff for the last few months but I'd like to see Swerve back in the mix opposite Ospreay. And I feel like Takeshita and Fletcher would both serve as good opponents to push them further up the ladder. Only thing with Fletcher is that brings a UE v DCF feud into the mix and I've had enough of that fucker.

He had the shits, must have fucked up his wiring.

I really enjoyed this. Cena felt guarded early but loosened up. I'm a podcast listener so I couldn't see what he looked like but he sounded like was having fun and opened up. He wax clearly localising some of his excitement because he's a pro and he's in the UK but I thought he was genuinely excited about a lot of stuff.

I think TK would want Adam Copeland on his AEW Title history. I just think that's something he would see as historically important.

We did a bag pack to raise money for the girls football team once and Levy gave us a quid. The tight bastard.

I know the three people who still defend WWE will cry if we make the comparison but this was the most WWE feeling AEW show in forever. The horrible qualifying matches gave the build that feeling anyway but I agree with Twoster on the UE segment, the horrendous "celebrity" and I'd add the Wayne/Jericho shite too. That guy at ringside yelling "Jericho Sucks" did almost save it, god bless that man. To top it off, you had the literal carnage at the end of the show. An absolute A1 WWE trope. Fuck that. Who booked this shit? The wrestling, the stuff I sat through anyway, was good. You'd only know it was an AEW show because the wrestling was mostly excellent and the commentary was really good. The Moxley meldown was really, really good too. Most of the promo work was. Even thought Austin Creed spoke really well but it was lost amongst that car crash of a segment. Opener was a bundle of fun. They just let Wardlow be popular in his hometown and handled it great on commentary. How easy is that? Fucking hell, the rest was rough. I know I'm grumpy after this but I never need to see Don Callis, Chris Jericho or Nick Wayne ever again. Reset button on Saturday please, Tone.

Bruce Pritchard has a couple of short lived announcing gigs around 1992/93. "The Wizard" on All-American is unmistakenly him. You can hear it in some of the matches in the below compilation. Then Reo Rogers, a weird character parodying Dusty Rhodes that did actually have a couple of segments outside commentary before they quickly realised it was fucking shit. Pritchard's contribution to the business can, in fact, be summed up with those two words: fucking shit.
