Milwaukee's DrAwkward

They're gonna be in Milwaukee in late March and I'm definitely thinking about it. Also wondering if it's worth shooting our shot to see if they need some local support from a local autoharp-flavored noisy indie rock band...

Like, I'm on board with any band that does pretty singing over searing noise bits, so

So my friend @beneisen.bsky.social and his All Time Top Ten podcast just introduced me to the band Wednesday and I think I'm really into their most recent two records. I'm very much not an alt-country dude but their "you dropped your Cheryl Crow in my Built To Spill and Swirlies" vibe really works

*Wait, not pinned, tapped out. And if I recall, Hook tapped out FAST

As soon as someone here pointed out that Hook was the person Joe pinned to win the #1 contender's match, I realized that angle had been planned for a while

This was a fucking bullseye hit this morning, god dammit Onion

I need the uncensored audio from that Campbell's Soup exec. For art

Seems like the writing on the wall is Takeshita vs. Okada in the finals (with Takeshita winning bc no way is AEW jobbing out New Japan's world champion mere days before Wrestle Kingdom), but PAC would be an excellent swerve

Moxley vs. Mascara Dorada will be interesting! 🤼

🤼

Expected Brody or Bandido in the field somewhere after dropping the tag titles, but it's an intriguing field. Mox being in the tournament begs the question of when the Death Riders are gonna give him the boot. Will he continue his slide and end the block with like 3 points?

Oh man, good eye. This is a super cool detail!

Oh fun! Just switched over from 9ers/Panthers for this!

Am I just getting older and caring less about football commentary, or are Aikman and Buck less annoying now that they're on ESPN?

It's wild to be at an age now where if I play in front of twenty somethings and they like us, it absolutely makes my year on a new, "oh thank God we're still maybe cool" level

And also I expect Brody and Bandido in the C2, but we shall see soon enough

I think it's more likely that Cope & Christian are coming back soon, or that FTR are gonna beef with JetSpeed and maybe hopefully put them over. I think the Elite are getting positioned for a big turf war with the Callis Fam so I don't see the tag titles factoring into that yet

I love being worked and losing myself in the story as much as anyone, but part of that means being ok with it not going in the direction I expected!

Like, dude was standing in the ring next to his arch nemesis/possible new partner and was clearly a focus point of the end of the show. I mean...🤷🤷🤷 #AEW 🤼

I feel like gently pointing out to the #wrestlesky feed that championships are props for serving storytelling and I guarantee y'all that we as fans care way more about them than the wrestlers themselves. "Hangman got screwed by TK" is an absurd take. Dude is clearly still the main character. 🤼 #AEW

Reminded me of this all-timer from Clay Matthews

youtu.be/49wEr2le4G0?...

Every prescription drug ad: "notify your doctor if you experience changes in appetite, thirst, or urine."

Me, every time: "Did they just say THIRST FOR URINE?"

"Kevin O'Connell says that JJ McCarthy is as good as any QB he's ever seen before the snap"

Hahaha, the fuck does that even mean

Big Charles Foster Kane and Jedediah Leland energy. "He finished your notice."

Full Gear top to bottom fucking ruled, though. PAC beating Darby when Mox couldn't; KOR making Mox tap in a singles match; Stat getting a reign-cementing win over Mercedes...lots to like tonight. #AEW 🤼

Looking back, the fact that Hangman kept getting one over on Joe in the weeks leading up to Full Gear should have telegraphed this, but I was still shocked that they went this direction. But man, that visual of Swerve and Hangman standing next to each other at the end of the night was GREAT. #AEW 🤼

And people still call her "Mercedes Hogan." Puh-LEEZ 🤼

Been thinking about how consistent Mercedes Mone's booking has been with her character in WWE. Sasha Banks could win world titles but always lost them on her first defense. Now she can rack up the secondary and indie titles, but now she can't even win the world title. #AEW #AEWFullGear 🤼

Bryan also called out PAC showing up late. It's brewing
