Where did ya get the Memphis set?

Holy shit, now THAT is old! Thank you for that! That’s freaking awesome.

What is the oldest wrestling match you’ve ever seen? I love to see where wrestling came from and what it used to be vs where the business is today. A lot of the really old old stuff isn’t the most exciting thing thing you’ve ever seen for most fans of modern wrestling because there are zero topé sui...

Have you guys seen much from the Memphis territory? I was checking out some super early Cornette stuff on YouTube and it was all Memphis and it was all pretty decent, but Corny had yet to find himself. He was so young and meek compared to where he’d be even a year or two later. Really goes to show h...

Yeah I work around 50-55 hours a week. Too many of us are working too many hours! We shouldn’t have to work so much. We give 1/3 of our life to sleep, 1/3+ to work and have under 1/3 left for ourselves. Many of us have children so that time is cut considerably, halved if not more. So we get under 1/...

How many hours do y’all usually work per week?

I am right there with ya, Icy! My favorite thing about him is how he always looked like a wild man who was out of control but he was so in control that he was able to make it convincingly look like he was out of control. He’s fucking brilliant.

Was Terry Funk more over in America or Japan? I was watching some old Funk brothers vs Hansen and Brody, Baba and Jumbo, etc AJPW matches and my god the fans went insane for him in a way I never saw from either the wwf or wcw. That reverence was never really there, it didn’t feel like. His best runs...

I knew the answer but haven’t gotten on and seen the question until just now. It sucks they did Tony Anthony how they did in the wwf. He deserved better. So did Tracy Smothers. How dare they be southerners!?

Who did Steve Austin have his first match against?

John Moxley 101-15-1
Kenny Omega 63-20-1

Send Hook, you are correct!

Who has lost more matches in AEW since it’s inception, Jon Moxley or Kenny Omega?

Oh yeah. The All Atlantic title is now the International title because it was defended outside of America. But if the world title hasn’t been defended outside of America what makes it a world title?

I’m really glad FTR are back, they got such a long, loud pop too. Good to have some top guys back on the show. I’m also glad Hobbs won the TNT title, but I just didn’t love the idea of him him beating Wardlow immediately after he beat Samoa Joe for it, but I’ll wait and see what comes next cause Hob...

I’ll never not find it funny that Ricky Steamboat’s real name is Dick Blood.

Hangman tap out?

Ugh. Vince McMahon’s a slimy mother fucker. With him forcing his way all the way back in like he did and also being Puns's favorite uncle with a physique and a just a bit more grace and tact, that gives me vibes of impending doom for America lol. The wwe board of directors all unanimously voted “no”...

I haven’t watched outside of the Rumble. Is Vince pushing his way back into creative now??

Can you blame Brock for not wanting to work with Bray? If he wants to look like a believable bad ass professional wrestler who destroys everyone in front of him and retain any credibility at all he can’t be playing spooky kids cat and mouse games with the guy who does nothing but play spooky kids ga...
