Dynamite (01.19.22)
The flowers I got for my birthday a full week ago now are holding up shockingly well.
20. What is your favorite yogurt topping?
I do not eat yogurt often enough to have such a thing. Mostly I just polish off straight tubs of Activia.
Wrestle post while I recover from a run.
MOX IS BACK!!!! HI MOX HI!!! And god, he looks so good?? So leaned out it genuinely startled me, and then I finally realized that the reason I've always been unable to reconcile him with the pictures and clips I've seen of his Dean Ambrose days totally wasn't just because he'd aged, and I feel bad for never realizing he was just puffy as hell from drinking so much?? It seems so obvious in retrospect. I stan one angry, healthy boi. He sure as hell can still talk like the guy he was when we last saw him, so.
Orange Cassidy & Kris Statlander vs. Adam Cole & Britt Baker: I've already bitched enough about AEW's stupid "mixed" "tag" rules, so I will just say that this match ruled aside from those (at least once they got past the opening section, where those precise rules were used to explicit effect to prevent any fucking momentum being allowed to build). All the lines they're allowed to come up against were on full display (women can hit men, men can attempt to hit women as long as they fail, men can hit women as long as it's accidental), so maybe there's hope for the future and they may one day let women fully participate in the world of pretend fighting even though it makes some people feel icky.
Please god don't let this tension within the Inner Circle be yet another goddamn fakeout. FREE PROUD 'N' POWERFUL, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.
CM Punk vs. Shawn Spears: lol squish squash
Cody continues to be the most compellingly annoying guy in the business, man he is good at that.
House of Black vs. Varsity Blonds: KINGS OF THE BLACK THRONE IS SUCH A METAL FUCKING TAG TEAM NAME I LOVE THESE TWO SO GODDAMN MUCH ALREADY. Disappointed that Julia never took off her eyepatch to reveal a glowing red Terminator eye underneath, but there's still time. And in the meantime, here comes PAC. Does him taking off his bandages mean that he can see again, or is he some sort of blind seer now?
Why the fuck is Dan Lambert still creeping around Lance if Jake is back??? HI JAKE HI
The bit with Roppongi Vice and Brandon made me smile so much man HI ROCKY HI so many excellent returns this week
Frankie Kazarian vs. Lance Archer: Man, this made me kinda sad, Frankie's been so underutilized since they wasted his Elite Hunter gimmick, and now he just shows up to get his ass mercilessly beat by another guy I love, to build him up just so he can lose yet ANOTHER huge title shot against my FAVOURITE guy, like THERE IS NO WINNING FOR ME HERE. Hopefully his match with Hangman is a banger, I wonder when that's happening, if not at Beach Break?
Leyla has finally turned heel and all is right with the world. Now put her in Team Taz, a tiny angry Russian lesbian is exactly what they have always been missing.
Serena Deeb vs. Skye Blue: Stuck in the second to last death slot, an obvious squash (though not the most egregious one of the night), and yet because there was plot reasons for it and plenty of other screen time/storylines for the women's division tonight (including another match with women in it), I ain't mad! IT REALLY IS THAT EASY, GUYS.
Andrade is buying the HFO or something, whatever, I wasn't really paying attention because I was busy watching the Butcher in the back HI BUTCHER HI I'M SO SORRY YOUR BAND BROKE UP BUT I'M GLAD YOU ARE BACK
Sting & Darby Allin vs. The Acclaimed: WELCOME TO THE BLACK PARADE, BITCH! Honestly, kind of a boring main event after such a fun show, but I'm wondering if it was always supposed to be here, or if there were bigger plans for the FTR/Broccoli match that got scrapped?? I saw a lot of DEM BOYS signs in the audience, so who knows.
One of the nice things about being up all night is that there's much less temptation to order myself inordinate amounts of junk for lunch (since everything is closed for many hours yet). Maybe I'll order fun breakfast foods for dinner though??
