Comment I saw on YouTube today: "I’d like to congratulate Jay White, Dax Harwood, and Cash Wheeler for joining the 'Dodged A Bullet' Club last night."

House of Black vs Best Friends is exactly the sort of match I get excited to see. I’m a big fan of Jay White but Sue got my biggest pop of the night.

I had to bail on the watch last night--started too late. Revisited the back half of it today and all in all, the exact kind of show to do after the wobbly week in New York. Jay White feels big even though he's wrestled there before, Hayter just continues to be The Champ We Need, I have no idea how this Jericho/Keith Lee thing is gonna go but I'm here for it! Let's go! Let's get our asses kicked by the Waffle House cooks. It's already happened, pal!
Also if anyone happens to be in the center of the wrestling/comedy/podcast Venn diagram, this week's Best Show with Tom Scharpling features Orange Cassidy, Willow Nightingale, and Colt Cabana.

Rampage starts off hot with Hook re-defending his FTW Title, this time under "FTW rules", which Excalibur helpfully reminds us last happened with Tazz vs. Sabu in 1999. Bless you, Ex! Technically I think it's the longest match Hook's ever wrestled.

RJ City is getting actual television time! Bringing that "Hey EW" energy to Rampage.
Meanwhile Darby Allin is having a no-good week after apparently having a real-life car accident: His match against Lee Moriarty was an mostly mat-based and quite good, with believable near falls, only to have Brian Cage hurl him propeller-style into the air. (I think if you do more than two rotations, it's officially an F-10, not an F-5?)

Hey, women are main-eventing Rampage!
Someone in my group chat pointed out that joining the J.A.S. dovetails nicely with Anna's "Star of the Show" gimmick, and that Julia Hart is the face of this match, despite her recent spooky-girl gimmick. Honestly she has put in a ton of work over the past year developing her character and also improving her ring work, and the way she stares daggers into the Best Friends at the end of her match makes me hope Kris Statlander is coming back to provide a foil for her.

Billie Starkz has turned 18, which means AEW can now get her on TV to face Jade Cargill -- here's her prom picture to show how adorable she is.

I watched that back to back with NJPW Sakura Genesis, in which Kyle Fletcher got his head cracked open on a barricade. Add in the QTV joke about Dante Martin's broken leg and it's been a real ouchy week for pro wrestling.
