AEW picked a really good crew of refs.

Roku, it's going blurry here and there.

My wife has commented already that she's enjoying this more than the last several WWE PPVs.

Yes.

UFC is crazy too. The Bleacher Report streaming fucking sucks though. I hope they get this back on Fite.

It's nice having people speaking like human beings.

It did on the feed too. I liked what they did with their pre-show a lot more than what WWE pre-shows are usually like.

I've never seen this ref before but she's pretty fucking good at her job.

My friend is there and says the merch is almost all gone.

Luchasaurus has looked like an absolute star in this thing.

My wife is laughing her ass off at poor Marko's death.

I agree you have to go that route eventually with TV but I think that should be used sparingly for PPV. I also think an emphasis on clean endings would really help separate them from the WWE.

I hate the nerve hold. It just looks like they're grabbing the guy's titty and squeezing.

My friend is going and didn't realize they had announced Glacier and was hyped for that.

I kind of think that Moxley has been a done deal for awhile and they have just been keeping it secret.

That pairing with Lana torpedoed him and he never quite recovered.

That's the kicker though. A lot of subs get ruined by moderators being fuckheads.

Squaredcircle on reddit is okay if you realize there is some good humor and ideas buried in a sea of stupidity.

Someone on reddit had an amusing idea where the wrestlers think the belt is a piece of shit and are trying to lose it instead of win it.

I thought they had brought him back since then.

If this was DDT he would have tripped and gotten pinned by the belt. That would have been infinitely more entertaining.

They should have brought James Ellsworth back for this.

Oh and because it's more interesting than Raw. I did the ProWrestlingTees autograph grab bag for shits and giggles. I got Ahmed Johnson, Simon Gotch, Eric Bischoff, Jake Roberts and Swoggle. Kind of impressed with that haul as I was expecting 5 copies of a Zelina Vega autograph.

Today was the first day of a new project at work. This means contractors, a metric fuck load of them. I am helping supervise. It was an epic level shitshow. They sent in the dregs of the dregs for this job. Even had some dude walk out in the first 5 minutes. It was like my own personal episode of Raw today...
