DARBY ALLIN CUT A WRESTLING PROMO ON TOP OF MOUNT EVEREST.

I still can't get over that shit.

You guys, AEW is awesome.

I FUCKING LOVE WRESTLING

Omega/Okada is a match I never thought I would see main eventing an American stadium.

AEW fucking rocks.

I was a little afraid Moné was going to take the belt and Storm was going to end up in the tag division with Mina as her partner. So glad that's not the case.

I think the story is Swerve.

Must be bad if they vacated the belt instead of doing an interim title. Hopefully Cole gets better soon.

Sure, but I'd expect Guile and Akuma, at least, to be speaking roles.

Though I suppose Akuma really doesn't speak much, and is more about his physicality.

Are they just casting wrestlers for all the fighters?

Honestly, it does make a certain amount of sense, but screen acting is a very different beast than wrestling acting.

In most versions, Krypton isn't destroyed by a civil war, but an ecological disaster. But your point still stands.

That last part is literally a plot point in Superman Smashes the Klan. Through most of the book, he avoids flying and heat vision for fear it will other him too much.

Perhaps, but less cynically.

All Star Superman is kind of my yardstick for a great Superman story. It gives Superman a challenge he can't simply punch his way out of, and spends most of its time simply exploring how he moves through the world.

 

Great article about the story of the Mox/Hangman title match

 

Tap for spoilerIt's Mark Madden.

Ew.

 

Fucking great to see Monty Brown making an appearance at Starrcast. Hope it leads to more; he's one of wrestling's great what if stories.

I wonder if Naito is interested in moving to the US...

 

Honestly, I think the thing I'm most disappointed in is that Sami Zayn is involved in this mess. I didn't have high expectations for anyone else involved, but Sami...

 

Seriously, turning Hangman burning down Swerve's house into a yule log is brilliant.
