Is Wade Barrett too broken down to be cleared to wrestle again? You would think they would want somebody from Wales to wrestle in Wales. Or is it probably going to be mostly English and Scottish fans there?

The picture went black for a few seconds when Mandy Rose had Stark on top of the announce table, so I'm not sure if something too violent for Sportsnet in Canada happened there or something else they didn't want us to see. It went black a couple times after the break as well. Those NXT fans were really excited just to see a letter Dexter Lumis apparently sent to Indi

I felt so bad for Sting in that spot. He has to lie in that little box for the whole match up to that point. Wwe always used a big casket and it was raised up on something. I thought Aew had a big coffin too but maybe I am misremembering. Also Brody King looked awesome.

I dont know about Primetime specifically, but here in Canada around that 90-91 time frame we got both the Canadian shows Maple Leaf and Calvacade and some of the US tv like Superstars. The Canadian shows usually showed the same matches as the USA tv but I think there was some changes. Kelly might know better than me but I think I may remember sometimes seeing the same match as on Superstars but with a different commentary team on Canadian TV.

I'm actually surprised that in 1986 he was having singles matches against Orndorff so much but not having the same singles matches in Boston or MSG. I always thought in 86 Hogan/Orndorff was this huge draw, but maybe only in certain markets. The MLG and Hamilton cards would be interesting to compare.

Unless Cody is a true carny and is working the long con.

I can't hear the announcers on AEW. Maybe it's because I don't have the volume up really high because my wife doesn't like wrestling and doesn't want our kid watching it. I found the crowd noise and ring noise is a lot louder on AEW than on WWE. I can hear the WWE announcers just fine, and when I watch old WCW matches I can hear their announcers pretty fine too. I feel like I would have to turn the volume up pretty high to hear what the AEW announcers are saying. I could hear them good when they did those pandemic tapings at QT's gym.

I realized last night that I like Brody King a lot more when he is not with Malakai Black and when he is not doing all the lights turned out mysticism satanist stuff. He just looks mean.

For some reason I am now picturing Tony Bag-o-Donuts going to the houses of people behind on their Save with Conrad loan payments to break their thumbs. Or maybe a new line of work for Two Dimes?

Rampage seems like its only available online in Canada which is why I dont watch it and so theres probably a lot of people in Canads who dont even talk about it good or bad.

I love monster of the month booking. What timeframes did Cena go through that? I missed a lot of WWE from the time the WCW invasion ended up until Wrestlemania XXX and would like to check that out.

Yeah I liked the crowd booing when Rhonda had the ankle lock on Liv, then when Liv won they were totally cheering. I liked that the Rhonda Natte match had so much wrestling in it.

Are you guys gonna be reviewing MitB on Twitch tonight?

That was funny that they had the crowd mic's for that Alexa Bliss Credit One spot because you could hear them shitting all over it

For a moment I felt confused and was thinking "didn't we see earlier this year both Seth and Becky winning and standing together holding their briefcases?" Then I remembered "no, it was Adam Cole and Brit Baker both winning the Owen Hart tournament in AEW." Still it would be interesting if WWE did something similar with Seth and Becky.

This looks like a dire card outside of the ladder matches. And if you dont like ladder matches than it just looks like a dire card

They have Fyter Fest and Fight for the Fallen coming up soon don't they? I know they are just episodes of the show now, but I imagine they are still going to blow through some big matches during those 2 or 3 weeks.

You know, if they couldn't get enough people to fill Allegiant Stadium, they could have gone to Caesar's Palace like Wrestlemania 9. Then they would still have that outdoor look but with a lot less people than a stadium. It wouldnt look like 50 000 people, but it would look different then a regular show if they want MitB to stand out as part of a new Big 5 PPV.

JAS I thought was supposed to be Clockwork Orange but in red instead of white.

Even when he is reviewing this week's matches, he is much more interesting when he breaks down what is working and what isnt working, and what spots were good and how other spots might have been improved or should have been taken out etc. Its the fact that he just shits on so much of it that makes it tiresome to listen to. Like 3 quarters of the current wrestlers he has just written off completely including most of the women, so he is not interested in really engaging with their matches. Which makes me think he shouldn't be reviewing full shows, he should just be pulling out a couple of matches that he wants to talk about and really focus on them.

He did a couple earlier this year before Wrestlemania but none since then. It seems like something he only does once in a while and not something he is interested in doing on a regular basis.

This is the YouTube video that directly talks about his tape collection. The clips on his YouTube page are pretty long. You can browse it to see if there are certain topics you want to hear him talk about if you dont want to hear him go on and on about modern wrestling, Republicans, or weekly updates about what is going on at his house or on his property which is what the majority of his podcast feels like it's about.

I don't know why Cameron Grimes isn't fun anymore. He puts the hair up and talks normal and is just boring now.

It seems like unifying the titles wasn't as great an idea. At least if there are two titles, one of them can still be defended on house shows or PPV's if the other person is out.

Martial Arts Stick is a fun name for a Kendo stick, makes it sound like something out of Karate Kid. I am not a big ECW fan but I always loved a Kendo stick being called a "Singapore Cane". It sounds more dangerous to me that way.
