“It’s Wednesday night and you know what that means?”

Oh piss off Jim. Surely you can come up with something better then that every week 

Bring back the downvote.... I really hoped he'd say that on the first broadcast after Brodie Lee died as much as I hope he never stops saying it at the start of every show since

Do we know the direction has come from above and wasn't Tony's idea?

Tony Khan really likes it and I'm sure I read/heard that Schiavone said that TK told him to keep doing it..

I haven't watched again and so might be misremembering but I don't understand why nobody (commentators included) is mentioning the fact that Edge pinned Daniel Bryan in the main event. Roman dragged Edge onto him in the same way that Apollo Crews was dragged onto Big E. Yes, Roman subsequently did that double pin thing but Edge had Bryan's shoulders down first. Edge is the Champion.

Being a massive fan of Lucha Underground I feel AEW have missed a trick with Penta's arm break. They've already extinguished any aura they might have been able to build up with it during his heel turn by having Cody completely no sell it right away. And damn, I miss that crack that LU used to edit into the audio. Made me wince every time!!

A week old but hasn't been posted here and I know it's removal caused some discussion.. The original theme song returns !!

He could hit the big showpé suicida though

What a loving son Matt Jackson is, letting his mates to go the hospital with his dad. I just picture him opening his eyes, “Nick....where am I? Where’s Matt? Who are these two cunts?”

He stayed behind to take care of his mum. Somebody said so before they closed the ambulance door..

The problem is that AEW is live weekly, while Impact tapes in blocks. So in terms of actual interaction that fits neatly into what AEW are doing, you're pretty much stuck at them only being able to do it at the point that their schedules match up.

AEW goes out live on a Wednesday. Then records next week's episode on the Thursday. AEW is only live once a fortnight

🤣

It's just not gonna be the Rumble without any fans in attendance. They can't recreate the countdown and the reaction at the buzzer. Gonna be the first rumble I'm not going to watch in I don't know how many years

No, they record dynamite live with fans since august each week.

After dynamite airs and fans leave they record the following weeks Dark.

I expected them to tape some over Christmas but even the 23 and 30 dec shows were live.

You're misinformed. They go out live on a Wednesday then tape the following week's on the Thursday. I'm sure of it..

Thought I'd give it a try via the Sports Channel Network on Freeview 265 but the latest MLW VOD episode is 113 - are they four weeks behind usually? Are the episodes uploaded weekly to YouTube?

The shot before the tribute video felt to me a bit odd and off-putting with Cody visibly telling -1 Brodie Jr to stare at his dad's boots in the middle of the ring... Made me a little uncomfortable in what was otherwise a brilliant show for, as it clearly transpires, a brilliant man, wrestler, father and a great loss to the world.

I'd imagine Orange Cassidy would have been involved in it being a 14 man tag had Wardlow not had family stuff to attend to. Jericho had such a big smile on his face when he got to be in the ring with Brian Pillman Jr. He does have some of his dad's mannerisms

It was set to be Brandon Cutler

Are itv still putting up edited versions?

Very random but Kevin Quinn who worked for WWE for 30 years, starting as an editor and ending up as a VP of TV technology (and was recently let go) is doing an AMA on Reddit at 1AM. Could be shit, could be a rare look into someone that's worked alongside crazy Vince for the bulk of his life. At the very least he's one of the guys responsible for the amazing video packages WWE has been turning out for the past 20 years 

Pretty sure they've already mentioned a few times that nobody has kicked out of the one winged angel

It’s amazing really. Their popularity is in the toilet. Ratings are regularly hitting record lows for Raw. They’re doing 40% less than the promised demo for smackdown. NXT is getting battered almost every week. Every month it seems there’s a new scandal. They treat almost everyone like absolute shit. And yet, record profits. I know it’s tv money but still. The bubble needs to burst for these horrible fuckers.

Record profits because they're spending far less of their income...

That's one of those things you used at school to measure metres on the floor isn't it? 

I believe you're referring to a trundle wheel

13 is way too young to be starting wrestling training and I'd be dubious of any school that takes on a 13 year old to be honest. I echo previous comments...

In the interim, if you want to get him to some local BritWres then both APW and Shropshire Wrestling Alliance work out of Telford

Apparently, Ivelisse and Thunder Rosa were shooting in their match, things were frosty back stage prior to their match and things went too far in the ring. Their tag match next week will be interesting. 

If that's the case then they've had two weeks to cool off

Liked how Eddie Kingston signed off his post Lucha Bros match promo 🤔😉

The Hardy thing was a mess. For starters, the stipulation was pointless. Did anyone really believe Hardy was going to leave AEW? Did even one person buy the PPV because of it? I’d be very surprised.

Yet they decided to put his health - and Sammy’s for that matter - at risk because of a stipulation that nobody really cared about.

Fuck off. Stop the match, make sure he’s all right and then figure out a way to bring him back down the road. It’s not like it’s an actual rule or anything. It’s their show. Stick him under a mask or something.

Bringing him back is easy. Just have him claim only one of his personas has left AEW. Could even just keep on going until all of them have left. That match should have ended one way or the other right then

Did Anna Jay have a wardrobe malfunction? Maybe that was wishful thinking on my part.

Jim Ross in 2020. Fucking get rid.

Sammy G got suspended and went through awareness training for comments made a couple of years ago... Absolute minimum is JR should face the same fate.

He also made some weird comment during the women's match about taking them both out for dinner and giving them some sauce (but I may have misheard and/or misinterpreted that)
