I have to admit that I miss short hair Styles, though I can't deny that his current hair makes him a Tanahashi-like idol to moms.

it's too bad WWE frowns on third-party endorsements because he could land a killer conditioner deal

Tony Khan’s paid adverts are my favourite thing in the world right now.
― a hoy hoy, Wednesday, 16 December 2020 20:25 (three years ago) link
Tony Khan has always come across to me as earnest and nerdy whenever I've seen him address live crowds. He had a speech at ALL OUT, FULL GEAR, and on the Jericho Cruise, and just seemed really likable. I really like how his on-screen persona is shaping up, and I'm interested in where it could go.

I really hope it isn’t as a proper on screen role, especially not a gm / authority type figure. I’m hoping for more meme jack tunney

he has also hilariously experimented with cutting promos on footballers in the English press when his team Fulham F.C. has underperformed. pretty funny but not very clever.

The card for this Wednesday's tribute show is quite the testament to his charisma, guidance, and talent. The last show of last year, the Dark Order was in everyone's crosshairs. This year's last show, they're being celebrated across the board. (The New Year's shows have been bumped by a week.) (Also -1 is Jon Huber's son Brodie; he appeared on Dark last week.)
• -1’s Favorites Team For One Night Only: Cody Rhodes, Orange Cassidy & 10 (Preston Vance) vs. Team Taz• Young Bucks and Colt Cabana vs. Matt Hardy/Private Party • Hangman/Silver/Reynolds vs. MJF/Santana/Ortiz • Anna Jay/Tay Conti v. Dr. Britt Baker/Penelope Ford • Lance Archer/Uno/Stu v. Kingston/Butcher/Blade

It is really sweet they let -1 pick a team. I’ve been thinking a decent amount about his death this week. He was never my favourite wrestler, although I had a soft spot for him. I’ve honestly been thinking more about him dying at a relatively young age, and 9 years younger, already thinking about the need to drink less and exercise more, maybe I need to. If Brodie dying is the inspiration, then great. I’ll think about that Wyatt v. Shield match every attempt at a run I try in the recent future.*
I heard WWE ended their tribute episode with Randy Orton committing arson to another person, which is not great.
*I think it would be in my top 20 wrestling matches ever, to take it away from my own feelings.

tonight's show has been amazing, like the matches have all been excellent and they don't even need to be, all of them packed with loving winks to brodie, and intercut with wrestler tributes that are almost hard to watch they're so emotional and raw, feel like someone is constantly flipping the laughing/crying switch inside me

got a bit worked up when anna jay started choking up mid-match, but oof that ending segment really got me.

That was brutal. I’m not usually someone who gets sad when celebrities die, but them doing so much for his eight year old son slayed me. -1 having the TNT title was a nice touch; that’s some good long term booking. Loved his cane shot too! Best episode of any tv this year.

it was difficult, i dragged out watching the whole thing until 4:30 AM and then i couldn't fall asleep for 3 hours because the dark order theme was stuck in my head

Silver, Rowan, basically all the bits where the Dark Order were struggling to keep it together were all just ow ow ow
Also the incongruous nostalgia ambush of seeing Bray/Seth/E/Becky popping up in the tribute montage and feeling kind of bad that they were required to be elsewhere

The new Talk is Jericho is a two-plus hour tribute to Brodie featuring interviews with Cody/Brandi/Arn, the Bucks, Excalibur/Bryce, and others. Say what you will about Jericho (and there was a lot to say last year) he knows how to get the boys to open up. Love Uno and Stu's bit in this (I haven't gotten to Reynolds and Silver's piece yet).

The interview with him from when he first signed is a good listen too.
