I honestly thought Marko Stunt was a 13-year-old boy when I first saw him at AEW Fyter Fest, and I'm still not quite sure what his role in AEW could or will be. With that said, an indie nobody named Gunner Miller decided to take a shot at stunt for no reason - and sounded like a complete ass in the process. Here's a thought: Instead of trying to bully and tear Marko Stunt down, maybe Gunner Miller should work on improving himself? I've literally never heard of this indie schmuck before today.

Does "you're not gonna to believe who I'm planning on bringing in!" really fit LAX though? There's nothing shocking about them or that announcement. It seems to fit Enzo and Cass more, but I doubt it's them either.

Didn't get to see the show. Probably not going to watch the whole thing. Any must-see matches or moments?

Secret Santo 2018-2019
And here I was feeling bad that I took so long to watch the match and post my review. Honestly, this exact thing is what soured me on the whole process the last time - giving people awesome matches, only to be ignored. I realize time is limited and shit happens, but this takes maybe 30 minutes a week - roughly 20 to watch a match and roughly another 10 to write about it. Plus, this is entirely voluntary - and everyone here did, ya know, volunteer. P.S. This wasn't directed toward @NotJayTabb, who at least gave enough of a shit to post an explanation. Sorry if I sound so grumpy and curmudgeonly, but this really is a cool idea and some of the most fun I've had on PWO, and I'd hate to see it fall by the wayside again because of issues like this.

Is Impact* the best wrestling promotion in history? *(Now TNA again, 2024)
Tenille Dashwood (Emma) has signed with Impact. ROH's loss will hopefully be Impact's gain.

Were Usos drunk during that Hobbs and Shaw promotional piece? Either way, they came across as bigger geeks than Seth.

Worked injury, right? Alexa's theatrics were too over-the-top to be believable, and now this Nikki argument (though they could just be trying to eat up TV time meant for the match).

If anyone thought the Street Profits were cool, here comes King Geek to make sure that doesn't last.

Gee, I wonder why WWE is suddenly promoting NXT on Wednesdays. Couldn't have anything to do with a new Wednesday show coming to TNT this October, could it?

I hope The Usos are suspended and made to sit out the rest of their contracts.

At least the right team lost.

Will the tone deaf WWE reward the drunken, reckless, irresponsible, better off in prison for the rest of their lives, piece of shit, DUI Usos with the Raw Tag Team Titles tonight? Stay tuned... LMAO!

Most of us, I think, were critics of the 24-7 Title when it was first introduced - but it's become the most fun, entertaining, and creative stuff each and every week on what has otherwise been a comatose show and organization. Actually, to be fair, there are a few other bright spots: Alexa/Nikki, Nattie carrying Becky on the mic and in the ring, etc.

So, how does a preggers woman lose the title?! Does she let Mike pin her to win it back after he lets her walk him like a dog or something?

WWE TV 07/29 - 08/04 Hey whatever this country is broken
Amazing, but R-Truth, Drake Maverick, Carmella, Mrs. Maverick, and Maria and Mike Kannelis are far more over and entertaining than any of the "rasslers" and "rasslin'" we just saw in this overlong, overdone Gauntlet bore. "Movez" don't draw, never have, never will. I do like Ricochet though.

I officially no longer care about lazy Gauntlet matches. (Lazy in the booking, not the wrestlers.)

[1993-05-08-WCW-Worldwide] Hollywood Blonds vs Marcus Bagwell & 2 Cold Scorpio
In the Secret Santo thread, @Matt D gave me Hollywood Blondes vs Marcus Bagwell & 2 Cold Scorpio from the 5/8/93 WCW Worldwide. This was one hell of a tag team match! There was a beautiful sequence early on with Flyin' Brian hiding a foreign object in his kneepad while he told the referee to check Bagwell's boot. Awesome heeling. The Hollywood Blondes were absolute masters when it came to heel tag team techniques. They somehow managed to make an extended abdominal stretch sequence incredibly entertaining. It's sad that stuff like that is basically a lost art now. Seeing Austin do a modified Stone Cold Stunner as a transition spot was a bit jarring in retrospect. At the time, I never had much use for Bagwell and Scorpio as a tag team. It seemed like a waste of Scorpio to me, who I thought was the greatest thing ever back then, because he was doing top rope moves only seen in Japan in the early '90s. But I have to say, Bagwell is much better than I remember him being. Not all of that can be attributed to a carry-job by Austin and Pillman either, because Bagwell was selling very nicely and did a great job during the face in peril portion of the match. I always thought he was miscast as a face - who ever really wanted to cheer this Chippendale wannabe? - but he made a damn good case for himself in this match. This must have been the beginning of the end of The Hollywood Blondes, because dissension was teased throughout. What a waste! While it was obvious that Austin had major singles star written all over him, they could've gotten a lot more mileage out of the Blondes. That was just one of the myriad of bad decisions that plagued WCW back then. I loved the time limit draw finish. That's something you don't see much anymore. Everything here felt so meaningful, which is another art that's been lost in the era of "movez" and no psychology. This told a damn good story in a very entertaining fashion. Thanks for giving this to me, Matt. I had an absolute blast watching it!

If there ever was one, it's not there anymore - at least not that I can find. I ended up just watching the match on my monitor.)
