Also tonight:
Been spending a bit too much money lately, but this looks great.
Dogs are the best. Glad the pupper was okay. My cats have bad seasonal dandruff and we got them some oatmeal cat spray and It works great. I was a doubter but it helps them a bunch with dandruff without giving them a bath.
He is just trolling at this point surely?
No one can honestly believe this shit. Fucking hell....
In AEW women's booking tradition, tonight's championship match is as bafflingly booked as it seems. Not only did Anna Jay lose her most recent singles match, her Grand Slam match against Penelope Ford, but she's lost most of her main roster matches over the past however so long. To be fair, this is her entire singles run against main roster talent at AEW.
Loss - Penelope
Win - The Bunny
Loss - Shida
Win - Brandi Rhodes
Loss - Abadon
Loss - Penelope
Loss - Shida
I get that they're basically out of faces to challenge Brit and that they're likely making up for lost time in Anna Jay's contract, but... come the fuck on, Tony. At least let her get a series of singles victories against people who matter before getting a fucking championship match. Or a build justifying a proper grudge match.
Tony's apathy, if not disdain, toward the women's division is just so transparent.

Is it a championship match though? I thought it wasn't for the title.
Hangman is one of the most over people in AEW already. What the fuck are you talking about Book?
Edit: Seems like that quote might be fake
you right. i read an incorrect thing. still bad booking, but at least not a championship match.
Booker can fuck right off at this point. His takes are embarrassingly terrible. Watch the goddamn show at least. Did he miss Hangman's promo last week or something? Is he capable of following character development at all?
Or is he just saying outlandish shit for clicks and clout with Vince?
going to go with…

the division is so stacked now it's hard to pick just 12. Feel like Riho, Mizunami and Anna should be in here but not sure who they'd leave out (although looking at the AEW championship not all of the big names will be involved).
mmm, leave out red velvet, bunny, and ford, and put in Riho, Ryo, and Emi, and you've got a fuckin banger of a tournament.
Just so everyone knows -- there's no source for this quote. So it's probably fake.
I hate this new trend of posting stuff like this on wrestling Twitter.
I don't like champions being involved in non-title matches against unqualified challengers unless it's a special occasion. I've complained when the Young Bucks did it and I'll complain when Britt Baker does it.
Someone send Tony Khan a copy of the PWI Top 150 Women's Wrestlers so he can go find some credible unsigned wrestlers for Anna Jay and the next challenger to beat so they can then qualify for a title shot. Or drop a men's division match every week from the card and use that time to build stories for the other signed women in the company so it won't feel so sudden when they're thrown into a program with the champion.

I've tried to here and there, but the commentary + overall atmosphere just turns me off from watching
The brightness on everything makes it look cartoonish in a way. It's really noticeable in the backstage segments where shit is like super white.
Tony Khan announced that there's 4 first round byes in the tournament already? What does that mean? 4 people automatically advance to the 2nd round or something?
Would that be because they can't make it over here until later in the year?
Edit: Do I dare dream that Maki Itoh is one of those people?

Impact is terrible. Terrible booking, bad production, tiny crowds, and bad announcing. You aren't rewarded as a viewer for watching their stuff.
That would be too good so it can't happen. I'm sorry friend.
Correct because she's out with a bum knee last I heard. Poor Giulia. 😭 She's gotten phenomenal over the last year.
I'm guessing the Anna Jay/Britt thing is to lead to an eventual title match versus Tay, and this is a way of making it a story with more than just the title at stake- a common (and super valid) complaint with the women's division. Which I'd be all for- I think Tay is my favorite in the women's division even recognizing her flaws and while she's not ready to hold the title yet I think she could put on an amazing match with Baker, presumably at Full Gear?
"You need to stop with the beer or you won't get over"
Thankfully hangman seems like a genuinely good person and hopefully it stays that way. I think the drinking thing is wack but he's so much then that and hopefully he drops it at some point.
It's already less prevalent as part of his character.
Personally I am totally fine with the beer gimmick, and I am a recovering alcoholic that's 2 years sober.
Punk constantly looking at fans like "what in the fuck is wrong with you?" when they wave beers towards him brings me great joy though.
The wrestling can be good, but man the commentary is not good.

For those curious, BCRF seems to be pretty legit and less scummy compared to Komen. FWIW, its administrative overhead % (the percentage of donations that go to administration costs) is 13% (generally, less than 20% is a good rule of thumb to go by):
