That was good and all but what if a dog advertising root beer came in the ring afterwards?

Punch Tominaga may need to steal the Astronaut nickname, it clearly applies
Dory Funk Jr was a titan of wrestling - 4+ years as NWA champion when that was the top spot in wrestling, the incredible work in All Japan, plus countless territories and other companies. He gets overshadowed by Terry but if you never watched pull up some of his All Japan matches
CM Punk vs Kevin Owens sounds good on the surface but given the state of both guys it’s probably closer to getting De Niro and Pacino in Rigjteous Kill than Heat
Pretty crazy to end SummerSlam with AI Dean Ambrose coming and spraying mustard in Roman’s face and hitting the Dirty Deeds.
I tried to figure out the last G1 that had total roster turnover (meaning the most recent year where none of this year’s competitors were in the tournament). It’s actually 2007 due to Hirooki Goto, who’s been in every G1 since then (minus 2025). But he’s an outlier.
WWE Vault uploaded a collection of Jeff Hardy matches. I didn’t remember this ladder match against Edge (Punk cashed in MITB right after) but it was pretty gnarly
“[Rhino] and [the Insane Clown Posse] dump [ice water] on [the Conglomeration] sitting in an [inflatable pool]” is a read MadLibs of a segment
It would be awesome if the Machine Guns refused to debut on Dynamite because they wanted to watch the Tigers instead
Some poor soul just wanted to watch Impractical Jokers and got shafted
Big fan of Jacques Rougeau appearing with the Intercontinental title he held for 2 days in 1992
More college football coaches imploring us to check out live wrestling please
Tough day at the office for Mil Mongoose. Never a good sign when the announcers openly laugh at you.
The Delphin Arena, home to Okinawa Pro Wrestling. No idea why the ref has a cone on his head or why there’s a mural of a snake man fighting an alligator monster (maybe @golazodan.bsky.social knows)
Naohiro Hoshikawa tries coming off the top against Dick Togo but things go wildly awry for him
Cruz Montana sounds like a fake nickname Mike and the bots used during Space Mutiny
I was pondering what an AEW version of In Your House (shorter, cheaper shows) would look like and I realized they would still run around 3 hours and 15 minutes.
As discussed with @alan4l.bsky.social, Takehiro Murahama strikes so fast you buy him as a monster despite being pocket sized
If Alan asks me to talk Osaka Pro I answer the call. We talk a ton of OPro and why it was so great. And you think we don’t talk about Okinawa Pro? THINK AGAIN
Alan4L@alan4l.bsky.social · last wk.I've literally had this show on the docket for years. So glad to have finally pulled the trigger. Myself and @joegagne.bsky.social talking the original Osaka Pro and it's wild cast of characters! An absolute blast. @pwtorch.bsky.social vip.pwtorch.com/2026/07/26/v...
Almost 3 years ago I was at this Collision, still one of the better ones. Cool ladder match, Vikingo worked a tag, surprise Minoru Suzuki appearance, and an effective main event. Joe/Gravity was very funny and Punk cut a promo, the only time I saw him live in an AEW setting.
Still funny to me. I wonder how long this kid’s friends gave then shit for this. Or maybe they were famous, who can say
Marukan Softman. We haven’t had an in cream themed wrestler in a while
