My gimmick here for now is I bring my two nerd hobbies together by arbitrarily pairing whiskey and wrestling matches and reviewing both for my own amusement

Look at this absolutely incredible Giant Baba key chain I got.
In not unrelated news, I'm not great with money.

I enjoyed #aewdynamite for the most part. Build toward #aewdynasty is going well. That said, there were a lot of unforced errors with production. It's wild that we are still seeing that on the regular. Sometimes they get the shots perfect and sometimes they miss them entirely.

We better get a Green Bastard Match in AEW.
Something cool I've been working on!
Starting today and lasting through Monday, AEW Rise to the Top and Trailer Park Boys: Greasy Money both have special in-game events you can check out.
Of the 9 games I've shipped over 20 years, this is the first time I've collaborated with a TV property 😊

It warms my heart to see all the love for Homicide on this site today. A truly great, truly authentic, and truly influential wrestler who deserves all his flowers.

Watching #AEWCollision. I said this a while ago when I thought it was close (and was wrong), but regardless of when... I know it has to happen eventually, but I'm going to be genuinely, emotionally down about the eventual Swerve/Nana split.

I don't always (or often, really) agree with Dave Meltzer's ratings, but we stand united on Storm v May III.

I rewatched Fletcher/Ospreay. I think it is sort of perfect up to the Kawada kick exchange. It brutal and blended the characters and the cage well. After that, they leaned into some stuff that isn't always for me, but they did it really well. Pretty awesome, but I get why others are higher on it.

Bout to go show these kids at jiu-jitsu what middle aged and crazy is all about (I'm going to heel hook and wrist lock white belts and then gas out after two rounds).

This is truly the highest compliment I can pay a wrestling fan in the crowd and those who know will most certainly know. Leslie Jones was giving us 80s grandma at #AEWRevolution and it was a beautiful thing that wrestling has sorely missed.

The main event of #aewrevolution felt like a needed course correct, like they were wiping the slate clean by doing away with a few abandoned ideas and getting us fully on a new (much better) path. It's unfortunate but I'm hoping it represents the main event reset I think it will.

Current Contenders for my #1 GWE spot (in no particular order): Terry Funk, Bryan Danielson, Shinobu Kandori, El Hijo del Santo, Devil Masami, Kenta Kobashi, Yoshiaki Fujiwara
The next tier has like 14-18 people and is extremely tight.

AEW has to do the right thing and put Storm v May on last. They are the main event no matter where they go on the card (in my humblest of opinions), but they have absolutely earned top billing.

There are genuinely 5-6 matches that I think could be MOTN at #AEWRevolution and a couple more that wouldn't be THAT shocking if they stole the show. Preposterous card. I am absolutely amped for this show.

"Remember when they burned witches? That was terrible, but it got a lot of things done, a lot of things. Took care of witches. Maybe it wasn't so bad, burning witches. It was hot, but it worked. We will have to look into that. Could be a beautiful thing, burning witches." - Trump, soon... probably.

Elimination Chamber kinda ruled. I'm not following WWE much, so I forgot about it and had almost no context, but wound up deeply impressed. They are doing a lot of things that tap into the intersection of what WWE does and what I dig.

While Punk/Paul isn't at the top of my wrestling wish-list, it's the exact kind of thing Punk does best. Punk thrives when he can build upon not just moral, but philosophical differences, especially when those differences inform different approaches to the wrestling business. This is made for that.

Christopher Daniels is the spiritual leader for a troubled young wrestler. We are putting respect on the name Jimmy Rave. We got bloody street fights in them middle of the show. Banger main event.
