Keep Refreshing For The Latest Results

A cute lil tradition at my parents house is to go round the table and let everyone know what they thankful for. I typically give a joke of an answer, and this year, I plan on being thankful for my high top OG Chicagos, but I do want to express to all of you that I greatly appreciate my little corner of the internet where a bunch of middle aged misfits watch dudes wrestle and talk shit bout it. From Bingo to typos to Royal Rumbles to inside jokes I think only us would ever understand, thank you all. For those UnAmericans, just assume this is a random post of gratitude.


We are starting off with that evil man Lord William Regal. He asks if we would like to hear from our new champion. People do want to, and Regal explains that you will…next week. He refuses to come to this city. Regal asks where are they. We get some FU Regal chants. He asks if we’d like to know about their relationship. He then tells us we will have to wait until next week for that as well.

Jon Moxley don’t wanna wait till next week. He heads to the ring, looks to rush Regal, but out comes Bryan Danielson to get in between Jon and Regal. Jon shoves Bryan a bit, as he continues to try to hold him back.

Bryan grabs a mic, says he doesn’t know why Regal did what he did. He did a bad thing. But Moxley has done bad things, too. So has Bryan. They all have. Bryan is asking him to please, he’s got a bad neck, two bleeds on his brain, please don’t hurt Regal.

Jon struggles with this, paces angrily, jumps forward then double guesses, as Bryan continues to plead with him.

Bryan THEN slaps Jon in the face! Bryan apologizes, shoves him, then gets to his knees and tells Jon to listen. Bryan stands back up, doesn’t care about the boos, tells Jon he knows of the struggles. Bryan brings up his dad, tells him that he struggled with what Jon struggled with. This is more than wrestling. When his dad had those struggles, he didn’t understand…there was only one person that could teach Bryan, and it was Regal. Block the crowd out, Jon, because of this man, Bryan was able to understand his dad’s struggles, and for the final ten years of his dad’s life, he was able to love him because of Regal. So please imagine, someone teaching Jon’s daughter to love him in spite of Jon’s struggles. Save Regal for Bryan, if for no other reason, because he loves William Regal.

Jon holds onto the ropes with frustration, shaking them with vigor, temper boiling. Moxley chant showers him as he turns to face Bryan and grabs the mic.

Jon tells Bryan to leave the ring with a head nod. He heads straight to the face of Regal. Regal is not backing down.

Jon: “Lordship, I only want one thing from you: I want you to run.”

He tells Regal to run far away, as far as possible, and never come back. Right now. Walk and keep on walking.

Regal stares Jon down, then leaves the ring and heads to the back.

Cant wait for the trails of Regal as he meets two indy outcasts who show him how to eat bug and live life carefree. I’m thinking Eli Everfly and someone else.

BACKSTAGE, Renee – who looks a little shook up after the previous segment – walks up to Keith Lee, and asks him where his head is at. Lee turns towards Renee, as he had his back to her, and is about to speak, but here comes Swerve to stop him before he starts. Lee tells him to choose his words wisely.

Swerve removes the shades, and Lee removes the jacket just in case. Swerve looks to the cam, covers it with his hand, and tells Lee let’s talk.


Match 1: AEW All-Atlantic Championship Match
Jake Hager (w/ Purple Hat DLC) vs Orange Cassidy (w/ Backpack Accessory)

The music is cut by QT Marshall. He is out with his Factory Fools, says there is some unfinished business here. OC just gives out title shots one after another. QT’s mic goes out. Then the big screens turn off!

Black: “Members of The House of Black, please rise.”

Short promo from Jungle Boy immediately after his match Saturday where he expresses how glad he was that he won against Lucha.

BACK LIVE and Stokely is introducing Ethan Page to the ring. Page gabs the mic, asks if we think Ricky Starks is going to win. When he is in the middle of this ring crying, all of these Chicago babies can join in and cry like the losers they all are.

We get a video package from Wardlow letting us know that he didn’t know how he lost the match till he watched the tape. He wants his belt back.

We finally get to the footage I never asked for, with Jade and Co making a scene at Bow Wow’s concert.

We go live with Renee asking Jade what’s going on. She says she will be giving no more clout to that wack ass rapper. She is happy she finally got her belt back…with no help at all. They will be having a baddie celebration.

Sterling comes out to give an official statement regarding Bow Wow: No Comment.

Everyone leaves except Sterling and Kiera, makes her sign something, and tells her that Jade will no longer need her services. Thank you very much.

Cutler has the hammer! Alex on the apron, Rick goes to him! Cutler hands the hammer to Matt. In comes Penta!!! HE HAS A HAMMER!!!! PENTA CLOCKS MATT ON THE FOREHEAD! PAC COVERS! 1…2…..3!!!!

Winners: Death Triangle
On one hand, you’re in Chicago, you almost HAVE to acknowledge the Straight Edge Elephant in the room. On the other hand, coming from the Bucks, it just comes off as petty and excessive. IF Punk is returning then I think this could add something to the story, but the bite, the GTS, the Macho Man finger, etc. on its own just kind of comes off as snarky. I’m hoping this spells good news and that Punk will eventually return. As for the match, it was about as great as you would expect. Rey is just….a God.

Rey is upset with Penta about the hammer. He stops to tell him so, Pac tries to calm him down, Rey isn’t the happiest about it.

She comes out with Britt and Rebel. She is asked how she feels, but Britt takes the mic to answer for her. She wants to let us in on a secret; they were never considering the word Interim. She then tells Renee to take the mic and let the champ walk to the ring.

At this point, Jericho doesn’t necessarily HAVE TO go the distance with some ROH dudes, but that is exactly what he did tonight. 15 minutes of some ass kicking. I’d say the chops were a bit excessive, but they were most likely tryin to kill time. Everything behind the commercial break though was just great ass-kickery.

Jericho looks to beat up the announcer again, but Claudio is quick to come out and just slap the shit out of Jericho to

End Show


Seems like a good time to point out what Larry said about Tomohiro in 2017

Favorite Male Wrestler – Tomohiro Ishii: Everyone has their favorites, and there is always a ton of hype around some guys, but right now my absolute favorite wrestler, who makes me look forward to his matches more than anyone and who always delivers is Tomohiro Ishii. Ishii is one of the very best performers in the ring, and no matter how much he gets praised or how much I keep discussing how under appreciated he is by much of the fan base, and that continues to be the case because 99% of the talk is focused on every other top Japan guy but him, he is constantly overlooked. Ishii is one of if not the most consistent performers of the last 3-4 years, always delivering, working as an iron man with more in ring time (at age 41) than pretty much anyone on the NJPW roster, and always putting on high caliber matches. He can work on any level from opener to main event, he can believably beat any main eventer, and also put over others. Ishii is a great brawler, but also a technician when he needs to be, and in what may be the most overlooked part of his game, his selling is absolutely magnificent. But because he’s not Tanahashi, Okada, Shibata, Omega or Naito (who have all been really great for the last few years) so he has been not only overlooked, but in a way he’s almost been disrespected. We may not agree on everything but I have to say, if you aren’t watching Tomohiro Ishii in 2017, you’re doing wrestling wrong. The man is a fucking artist, always looking great but more importantly making everyone he works with look like a star.

Miss you, bossman.
