I have been tasked to drink every time someone says “Forbidden Door…”


It’s Wednesday Night, and you know what that means!!!

WARDLOW IS HERE TO START THE SHOW!!!! He’s got some cardboard cutouts under his arm, and no music is playing. The cutouts are of MJF sitting cross-legged and another of MJF holding CM Punk in a sleeper. He props these up in adjacent corners. Wardlow hands some paperwork to Justin Roberts. He introduces the Living Legend Tully Blanchard and FTR.

FTR and Tully come out with glasses of champagne. They toast. Tully and Cash toss their glasses aside. Litterbugs.

Next is the best accountabilibuddy in Shawn Spears. He’s got the bottle and a certificate of sorts.

DRINK!

MJF is introduced at length, with a hell of a lot of accolades. Several hours later, out comes MJF on a throne!!! YES!!!!

Two chicks adorn either side of the throne. Before MJF gets in the ring, he makes out heavy with one of them. Hahaha. Awesome.

MJF celebrates with his boys, except Wardlow. Confetti falls and MJF gets a mic.

He made it clear last week that he is the best wrestler on the planet. Not Omega, Page, Danielson, Cole. No. MJF is the Best in the World. No, scratch that. He just beat CM Punk twice in Chicago. He’s better than the best in the world. Last week was bittersweet, says MJF.

STFU chant.

Bittersweet because as he was lying on top of CM Punk, after beating him twice in Chicago. A lot of emotion came over him. He just beat someone he grew up watching, so he decided to lean over and whisper two heartwarming words: YOU SUCK.

If anyone deserves a thank you, it’s SHAWN SPEARS!

Ouch. Wardlow was about to step forward, too. Damn. Pain.

Spears gets a mic, says he has a gift, points to the tron to show th new shirt that says “Better Than The Best in the World and You Know It!” Nice.

He’s better than Bret in Canada, Piper in Portland, and Punk in Chicago. It’s time he becomes the new World Champ.

CM Punk is here. He says MJF’s win in Chicago is about as suspect as his spray tan. Punk got some friends today.

DARBY AND STING ARE HERE! They each have a bat.

Punk tells everyone in the ring he will either get what he wants or he will beat it out of them. He wants a rematch.

MJF says no. Punk says he aint talking to him. He’s talking to Wardlow!

He tells Wardlow that he can be on the end of the beating these guys are about to receive or he can leave these jerks.

MJF says hold on, he beat Punk all by himself in Chicago.

Crowd is pro-Wardlow.

Punk: You hear em, big guy!

Dax grabs a mic, says he don’t even look good I a damned suit. He is comfortable in his fighting attire, and he wants a rematch, too.

Punk says all he had to do is ask. They’re down.

MJF says to wait a damned minute. He is not wrestling in Atlantic City. MJF says that if Punk can beat FTR with any partner of his choosing, he’ll give Punk a match any time anywhere, but it cant be Wardlow or Sting.

OOOOOOOHHHH HE’S GONNA PICK WARDLOW!!!!

MJF tells Wardlow to suit up, because he’s in action next.

Tony is backstage with Andrade, but my screen is stuck on a sandwich. He says he has finally found some balls under Darby’s dick. Darby and Sting tell Andrade he has bigger things to worry bout than Andrade. Andrade says that Darby will work for him. They have something in common: Darby wants the TNT Title, Andrade is the next TNT Champion.

Before the bell, Blade clips the back of Wardlow’s leg!


Match 1: Wardlow vs Blade

Bell rings and Wardlow tries to slap out of the corner. Lade kicks the knee as the crowd chants Wardlow to the tune of “Goldberg!” Nice. Clothesline to Blade. Both men outside and Wardlow sends Blade backfirst into the post.

We. Are. Back! Blade chops so Wardlow shoves him into the corner and hits some shoulders and uppecuts, trading back and forth between the two. Spears watches on with a smile. Kick from Blade out of the corner. It’s more of a knee to the head. Another. He tries to kick into the corner, but Wardlow catches him and hits a powerbomb! Crowd is LOVIN IT! ONE MORE TIME says the crowd as Spears tells him to cover.

Wardlow grabs Blade, another powerbomb! Wardlow pulls Blade up! Crowd loves it! Third powerbomb! Flips him up, another! Cover with the boot! 1..2….3!!!!

Winner: Wardlow
Man….the crowd is just begging for it!
Total Rating: **
Match Time: 6:12

Wardlow celebrates in the corner and Shawn smacks Blade one time across the back.

We get a video package for Penta! Penta says Black spit into his soul! Penta has a shovel, drags it across a road. He’s at a cemetery. He digs up a red and black mask.

Dude, the idea that the black mist just turns people evil or more dastardly is so cool.

Here comes The Inner Circle!

Hager and Sammy come out with Jericho. Santana and Ortiz are not here. Jericho questions this, says they haven’t seen the two all day.

But here they come, on their own, proud and powerful.

Santana tells Jericho to stop with this cheesy shit. It’s time to call a spade a spade. Jericho only cares about Jericho. Anything they’ve done in the past has only been for the betterment of Jericho. Is he wrong? It’s funny that they’re out there because they’ve come out to tell Jericho that the days of them paying second fiddle are over and done with. He ain’t finished, Chris. At the end of the day, it was always Jericho that stood in their way, that made sure they didn’t have a spotlight, but it was the crowd that kept us going. He’ll tell all three of them, and us, look at Ortiz and thank him with everything he’s got, because if it wasn’t for Ortiz, he would have dropped Jericho’s ass a long time ago. Now you may speak.

Jericho says Santana reminds him a lot of Eddie Guerrero. He gets super hyped up an wants to blame everyone, even his closest friends. Kingston planted this in his head, what has he done? What kind of stroke does he have here in AEW? Jericho is the influencer, and since 10/2/19, they’ve main evented PPV, Dynamite, more money than they’ve ever done before, yet they still want to bring their shortcomings on Jericho? They had a chance to be the champions, 2/17/21, almost a year ago. They lost to The Young Bucks. This had nothing to do with Jericho. Jericho brought them into the Inner Circle, and he can kick them the hell out.

In fact, when he thinks about how he put this faction together, maybe he invited the wrong two members of LAX to join. He wonders if Jake has Homicide’s and Hernandez’

Santana goes to attack, Sammy holds them back, tells both men they are a family. Jericho yells for Sammy to shut up. He contains himself, realizes his errors. “Listen,” says Jericho, but Sammy puts his hand in his face, says he doesn’t know whats going on. They are his family, he loves them. Inner Circle is forever, but Sammy must be honest – one of his goals is to be one of the greatest and all of this bickering back and forth will not help it.

Sammy takes off his vest, says she’s quit this group before, and unless they can figure shit out, he’ll quit again. Figure it out

Sammy leaves the ring with both his belts.

Ortiz with the mic. What did you expect? Throwin around threats? First Sammy then what? What’s next? Jericho has his facts all fucked up. Like The Inner Circle, Kingston is a brother in arms. This shit talk wont settle anything. He has a history lesson for Jericho. Where they come from, they don’t talk, they fight. Next week, Santana and Ortiz vs Jericho and Hager. Settle this shit once and for all.

Jericho says if they want a fight, they’ll get one, and maybe after, they’ll have an Attitude Adjustment, because if they don’t, we’ll have to make some changes. Next week. Attendance is mandatory.

Roppongi Vice are backstage. The Bucks come up to the mand want a fight now. Nick totally misses a kick, but Cole is there to attack from behind. BTE Trigger to Rocky. They pick up Trent and Cole stops them. In comes….

JAY WHITE!

He grabs Trent and sends him head first into the truck.


Match 2: Isaiah Kassidy vs KIETH FUCKING LEE!!!!!

It’s a fucking BEARCAT!!! And he takes his vest off sayin FUCK A SINGLET!

Kassidy ain’t havin it. He pushes up on him, flexes hard, then gets shoved into the corner and tossed ACROSS THE FUCKIN RING!!!! Leap frog! Crossbody to Kassidy!!!! He is feelin it! Lee grabs Kassidy, sends him into the ring, flies over the top rope with a crossbody!!!! Lee looks for a powerbomb, Kassidy escapes, hits a dropkick, hits the ropes, soft tackle, then a POUNCE!!!!

Matt Hardy is shown leaving, upset, not unlike his brother…

Lee grabs Kassidy on the outside and hops on the apron. Quen grabs his leg. Lee kicks him away. Kassidy with a cutter. He flies over the top rope with a spin onto Lee! Kassidy rolls into the ring. Ref starts the count. Lee back up at 5. He enters the ring, but Kassidy stops him with some rights. Lee stops him, enters, hits a right.

Kick from Kassidy, one to the face, a spinning lariat, but Lee clubs the leg as it spins towards him. Lee grabs the back of the neck like my momma when I ask for something in the store. Fireman’s into a powerslam! Cover for 1..2…3!!!

Son of a bitch…..it’s been a while since I used the term “indyriffic,” and although I wont say they got quite to the level of The Bucks, there was some flirting with it. The ringbell, the double finisher, Tully eating a G2S…truly the saving grace was that there was still so much good fucking wrestling! FTR is a Godsend, and I’m just so damned happy we aren’t seeing them “shave” backstage.

Match 4: A.Q.A vs Jade Cargill

A murder happens here.

Winner: Jade Cargill
I had a few issues with the xfinity app at this point, but they gave the girls a fair enough time to let A.Q.A. be seen as just a notch above a squash, so good for them.

The Bucks are backstage with Cole. They challenge Roppongi Vice for Friday, then take umbrage to Jay White just showing up. Cole says to trust them, he’s Bullet Club for life. Cole has something to say, though, and leaves.

Deeb is here to talk about beating Sky Blue. No one in. the back is on her level. In fact, there isn’t one girl that could go five minutes with her, which is why tonight, she is issuing The Professor’s Five Minute Rookie Challenge. This rookie in the ring should be honored and privileged to be in the ring with Deeb tonight.

Lockup and Deeb corners Arquette. She mushes her a bit, hits an uppercut, then backs up to burn some time. She turns her back, waist lock, reversed by Deeb, turns the girl, swinging neckbreaker.

Cute little way to get Deeb on TV every week, and I typically hate squash matches.

We come back to Archer’s music hitting, but that’s short lived because Archer is already fighting Page in the backstage area. He and Page fight through the tunnel and the bell rings.

Winner: Hangman Adam Page
Holy shit. I didn’t know how Page was going to get the win, but I did NOT expect Buckshot off the ref. Aside from that cool spot, I get the impression that Page is really trying to silence the critics, and although Archer might not have been the guy to do it, why the fuck not? A solid notch in the belt of Page.
Total Rating: ***1/2
Match Time: 15:33

Adam Cole is here!!!! He walks down the ramp, into the ring, and grabs the title from the ref. He holds it up as Page hangs on the ropes. He slow turns to see Cole, who puts the title on his shoulder.
