I heard if it lasts longer than four hours to consult a physician. He may be in the ER.

It was nice to watch an AEW show without constantly wondering, "Okay, who is this person?" Did you enjoy this part of Nitro back in the day? Genuinely curious because I loved the random wrestlers showing up.

Genuinely curious because I loved the random wrestlers showing up. I enjoyed it. The difference is AEW would have given The Glacier 18 minutes to have a match where moves don't really mean anything and he gets the win over a jobber. WCW gets Glacier out there against a guy already in the ring, talks about why he's going to be great, and he goes over in 4 minutes or less. I enjoyed that shit, but I also was a younger human and less grouchy at wrestling.

I enjoyed that shit, but I also was a younger human and less grouchy at wrestling.I think this was my original point. When I watched Nitro, it was cool to see some dude I read about in magazines three years earlier. I was busy living life, so I'd keep up with rumors and who was going where, but not a daily breakdown of EVERYTHING like we do here. "Holy shit, it's David Sammartino!" I didn't see 42 posts about "daddy's boy" "steroids" "must be nice" blah blah. It was a bad wrestler with a name and I thought it was cool. When a different masked guy came out and did awesome shit, I couldn't wait to see who I was going to learn about next week. "Holy fuck it's Scott Norton!" We're spoiled. Tony's recreating that Nitro feel but we're old.

I mean WCW did do promos for Glacier for like 7 months and then debuted him on their D program.
They took the name literally.

Did Andrade really have to stop using that move due to Jericho's Judas Effect or was it a shoulder injury issue?

816,000 0.33 demo 3rd in the time slot next to College World Series & UFC
Solid start. It’ll be a month from now that I’m really interested in.

I'm listening to Bischoff gush about the greatness of Collision.

Swerve vs. Tanahashi should be damn good.
Willow vs. Nyla is an interesting matchup.
The 8-man tag should be pretty fun.

Andrade vs Brody is pretty damn cool. Christian speaking is always a good idea. Darby/Sting announcement is intriguing. (In addition to what Kid already listed)

I'm wondering if there will be a follow-up to Willow and Skye upsetting Toni and Ruby last week.

Darby/Sting announcement is intriguing. It’s Vampiro. What if it’s Ultimo Dragon? Jericho and him have history dating back to the 90s. It makes the most NJPW sense for it to be Naito (who Jericho has wrestled twice in Japan), but it’d be fun if Ultimo pops up, even though he’s not affiliated with NJPW

Fantasy booking wise though? It should be my favorite WCW jobber (who Jericho seemingly unintentionally killed on Twitter recently) The Gambler. And Jericho could act like he's seen a ghost.
Talk about catering to a niche audience, but boy would I love it!
