There was a good Cabana podcast with the PWT/One Hour Tees guy just before AEW became a thing that got into a lot of the inside baseball of merch. So crazy how much that Cabana’s hustle (pre pipe bomb!) has been the catalyst for in wrestling.

Cabana is the man. I know he's not as popular as he used to be (since his falling out with CM Punk, and essentially joining Dark Order), but he cares so much about the business and his fellow wrestlers, and you can absolutely see it with everything he does. His partnership with prowrestlingtees is great. Their doors to the "employees only" areas in their shop literally say "Employees & Colt Cabana Only." It was the best.

Excellent, varied, fun show overall, including the pre-show match featuring Serena Deeb, the best worker currently active in North America

yeah really solid ppv. britt vs. shida was wonderful and emotional. highlight of the night was orange vs. pac vs. omega, like... wow

Taking aside the embarrassment that is Cody Rhodes, I think that was my favourite wrestling show since WM30.
The women’s title match and the 3 way had me so hooked. I think I need to rewatch it this weekend. So many great moments outside of those matches too, like how over Jungle Boy is, or how much of a bastard brute Miro is*
*Thank god they seem to be getting him back to being a killer and not a gamer nerd

did not expect shawn spears and sammy guevara to do a wrestling scene that could've fit in "Dancer in the Dark."
― Western® with Bacon Flavor, Tuesday, 1 June 2021 05:40 (two years ago) link
It's been a long road, but I think last night finally sold me on Guevara. I always knew that he was good, but he really had a great moment to shine, here. Seeing the crowd pops for Hangman and Jungle Boy made me smile. They're the future.

Sammy was like Jackie Chan at times. Also loved the sexy chair dancer set up

Wtf is Bear Country’s serial killer skin face mask ting? They are the faces in this match against Sky/Page* as the guy from Silence of the Lambs?

hahaha i was watching with a bunch of friends who don't watch wrestling and i was like "what i like about these dudes is that they're really hot," referring to ethan page and scorpio sky, but bear country had just come out in their skin masks
― STOCK FIST-PUMPER BRAD (BradNelson), Friday, 2 July 2021 16:43 (two years ago) link
bear country are also really hot tbf
ethan stoking up his rivalry with darby has been a huge highlight of the past two weeks
― STOCK FIST-PUMPER BRAD (BradNelson), Friday, 2 July 2021 16:44 (two years ago) link
Excited to see AEW’s first coffin match. Hope Darby does 93 Taker promos and gets the carpentry tools out.
Also why is Vickie Guerrero on tv in 2021? She was crap 10 years ago, she sure ain’t better now. Andrade deserves better.
― a hoy hoy, Friday, 2 July 2021 16:48 (two years ago) link
i love vickie :(
― STOCK FIST-PUMPER BRAD (BradNelson), Friday, 2 July 2021 18:04 (two years ago) link
Yeah Vickie Guerrero is and always has been superb, people love booing her and also she seems really nice
― Windsor Davies, Friday, 2 July 2021 18:32 (two years ago) link
Vickie in AEW is probably also partially a product of Jericho wanting her to have a decent job after WWE treated her like shit for years

A lot of extremely exciting rumours flying around about AEW acquisitions atm. They’re in a great spot because if the rumours turn out to be untrue then the response is simply “o well, never mind, may as well continue enjoying this excellent wrestling company with their many excellent wrestlers. But if the rumours are true then things look likely to start approaching towering new heights of excitementPleased with the result of the main event, feel like the winner there really really needed a big win and this felt big. Speaking of big, will be great to see haku’s giant son on dynamite next week. The AEW/NJPW relationship is gonna deliver big time once travel becomes a bit easier
― Windsor Davies, Thursday, 22 July 2021 15:29 (two years ago) link
Also Jericho’s next challenge ought to be quite a thing, after the last year of Eddie Kingston I’ve got a lot of faith that they’re gonna give their latest big indie veteran signing the platform he needs to shine
― Windsor Davies, Thursday, 22 July 2021 15:30 (two years ago) link
I’m gonna try not thinking about the rumours because I don’t wanna get too disappointed if they don’t happen. But if even one of them is true, holy fucking god. also if this helps punk and cabana be best mates again, that would be the best. It’s such a shame that wwe fucked them up with that giant lawsuit

the opening match last night kinda stole the show, and the upset ending apparently gave everyone in wrestling fandom an anxiety attack
gage was awesome though, i love that the labors of jericho is sort of an excuse just to have this gauntlet of awesome wrestlers come through

Not sure I’ve ever seen a promotion on such an absurd hot streak. Between the entrances for the 5vs5 match, the tease re: Darby’s opponent for the First Dance, the next challenger for the IWGP US title (and who knows what could maybe come next after that?), Nick Gage and the plate glass hurricanrana, the third of Jericho’s labours, Miro continuing to be the most gripping wrestler in the world, Tarzan Boy and of course the ongoing speculation over the mooted arrival of Daniel Bryan Danielson, it’s seriously like these guys can do no wrong at the moment. Which isn’t to say that it’s all perfect, there’s definitely stuff to work on. But theyve got so much momentum right now and I think the expansion to Rampage next month is going to help so much with spacing the cool stuff out a bit and giving things room to breathe. That United Centre show on august 20th is going to be unmissable
