Another stellar Dynamite, despite some odd and contrived choices. YUTA looked like the least credible title challenger of the century, and wrestling's fixation with the Attitude Era is undying. It doesn't matter. All In: Texas is the best the promotion has felt since March 2022.

Original Tribal Chief 1

It almost sucks how much this has started to kick ass right at the death. Then again, if it was this good all along, All In wouldn't feel like such a must-win for Hangman. Almost the best possible scenario in a weird way.

Kazuchika Okada and Marina Shafir cut two of the best promos of the year this week, both inside 10 seconds.

Don't believe everything you read online, guys. Malakai Black is not injured, nor is he leaving AEW. I don't know how many times people are going to fall for this rumour.

Some genuinely awe-inspiring shifts in momentum during the final stretch of Bandido Vs. Takeshita. I actually thought they could have mined a BIT more from the mask tear and blade job, but the telepathy was unreal

Nope.

Mox's death scene at All In was, and I mean this with no irony whatsoever, cinematic. One of the best 10 seconds of anything I've ever seen

Liked Dynamite, didn't love it, still high on the overall direction. Was puzzled by the delayed gratification structure of the main event after we'd already felt the ultimate catharsis at All In.

WISSA POSSE BLOWWWW

The question is a portal to an alarming truth. A question is something the wise man ponders, but the fool rushes. Ask the right one. You are testing my patience, although it is infinite. Q&A with Michael Hamflett tomorrow. Drop a Q below, and you might get an A.

What's SummeSlam? I know what SummerSlam is.

Don't believe everything you read online, guys. Malakai Black is not injured, nor is he leaving AEW. I don't know how many times people are going to fall for this rumour.

There is in fact no way to fall off a ladder, but this masterpiece is made all the funnier by a decent example being shown in parallel

The Undertaker is a massive mark and the Trick stuff was awful, but it's different to DX burying the Revival or whatever. Modern WWE fans actually see it as a rub. It's a bizarre way to do things, but the company/fandom relationship is bizarre, too.

An awesome night for Champion of the Fucking World Hangman Page. Such a great choice to have him walk directly in the ring, challenge Mox, and simply leave with no Death Riders beat-down. That's cowboy shit, and they're shit-scared of him.

Terry Bollea was a piece of shit. Hulk Hogan was an unintentionally hilarious guy who lived a Forrest Gump life in his own head and, as a worker, was even more magical than that on his best nights. Childhood hero, the most significant figure in wrestling history. RIP.

Athena Vs. Alex Windsor was mint. Vicious and creative without trying to show its ideas off. Loved the detail of Windsor in her first high-pressure spot scouting Athena - the lariat to the back of the neck after the front flip reversal - but going too far with the barricade duel.
