I like Ciampa's new theme, but it's his third best behind Noone Will Survive and The Statlander Pop

Catching you up on all the latest from Road to The New Beginning! Despite the rumours and the potential upheaval, New Japan is heading in a good direction: www.pwtorch.com/site/2026/01... #pwtorch #njpw @pwtorch.bsky.social @seanradican.bsky.social @richfann.bsky.social

Until I see someone reputable talking about the Muskrat buying WWE I'm going to assume it's nonsense @pwtorch.bsky.social @seanrosssapp.bsky.social

Anyone else think it's obvious that Mercedes dropping all these belts is a lead-in to her finally winning the world title? #aewdynamite

Weird, awkward Darby Allin promo. He's normally much better on the mic than that. I didn't mind the meta reference to his recklessness, but I don't like that he's saying he is going to keep being that way... #aewdynamite

Giving Bandido a singles win was a good idea. I don't think Mortos was the right opponent though. He needs to beat someone more established, like a Pac or Kyle Fletcher. #aewdynamite

I do not like any form of mixed tag, and I never have. Running back a match that didn't need to be on the PPV (albeit with a minor change) just reinforces my belief that it should have been left off the World's End card #aewdynamite

I feel bad for Bandido. He's got a world title match in two weeks and there are three other guys already lining up to face MJF... #AEWdynamite

Pretty sure @thewadekeller.bsky.social loved that Kenny Omega promo. Focused on winning one thing, no yelling, no inside jokes. #aewdynamite

Michael Cole actually hurting the gravity of the moment. He should be in hushed tones and shock, not talking like he just watched New Day vs DIY on Smackdown

My God that SILENCE. I'm really not sure about the decision to go with that finish. Even if it was the plan, I would have been tempted to audible. How you going to break kids' hearts like that?

This match was never supposed to be a classic. It's about the emotion. Don't expect Cena to bust out technical wizardry.

I wonder how many talents are getting cut to pay for all those Cameos #wwesnme #LastTimeIsNow

I said Bayley would roll out after the Sol Snatcher, and I said she would lose. You need to be watching @pwtorch.bsky.social post shows for all the hot tips

Someone check on CJ LaChapelle #snme @thewadekeller.bsky.social

They had so many ways out of this match, and they chose the cheap DQ? Just so frustrating #snme

Two Black men opening the show? I'm here for it #wwesnme #MelaninInHisSoul

Weird edit choice on Survivor with the rice negotiation; an offer was made, they discussed a counter, Jeff babbles a bit and they start the challenge. Whatever they cut, it was awkward. Why even include Savannah asking for a counter? #survivor @jeskeets.bsky.social @treykerby.bsky.social #nobuffs

On one hand, Claudio and Orange Cassidy have good chemistry. On the other hand, it seems like they have the same match with the same finish every time out. I'm surprised they scheduled Mox and Claudio this early in the tournament though #aewdynanite

Kevin Knight has always been spectacular, but similarly has suffered from trying to do too much and then not pulling it off. Incredible is easy for him, so he doesn't stop there. Trying the same move that put Seth Rollins on the shelf was pure hubris, but it's a great win for him #aewdynamite

Kris Statlander is trying REALLY HARD to connect with the audience for something other than her entrance. Her promo last night wasn't bad, but the material was better than her delivery. I do see improvement, but it's too slow. They need to find something she can deliver naturally #aewdynamite

I've watched a lot of wrestling, but Mascara Dorada's cutter dropping Mox onto the barricade was a new one on me. Looks great, is very safe, pops the crowd. #aewdynamite

A lot of people won't agree with this, but that was the best Kyle Fletcher match so far. All his PPV matches have been exciting, but in my view they suffered from excessive unrealistic kickouts. The forced shortening of this match prevented that and made the match better. #aewdynamite

On the bright side, big mail day for ya boi and his Commander decks...

That is one disappointing World Tag League lineup. I'm glad to see Monster Sauce again, but the lack of Nicholls/Haste, TJP/Templario, and JetSpeed is frustrating. Then we have thrown-together teams and the continued forced integration of War Dogs and Unaffiliated #njpw

So TSN decided that @aewontv.bsky.social viewers didn't need to watch the last hour of the show last night. Usually they don't have issues with the 3 hour shows. Frustrating...

This was a special one for me. I do love recording with @otherkellywells.bsky.social but a show with my son? Yes indeed

I'm gonna make this pitch... @tonykhan.bsky.social lets WWE have Copeland for one night to wrestle Cena. In return, he gets AJ Styles for a night to wrestle Kenny.

@thetomcampbell.bsky.social As much as I love hearing your voice on Cultaholic, I would rather hear less of it for longer than risk hearing none of it.

@thetomcampbell.bsky.social Just heard you talking about burnout on the podcast. I recently went through the same thing, and have had to cut a lot of my side hustles as a result. Saying no is hard, but being selective keeps me from being forced to say no to everything and everyone

Some mild speculation for today's mail day

A crime. A travesty. A farce. An unforgivable miscarriage. THEY CHANGED OKADA'S MUSIC. This is worse than having him say "Bitch" every week and putting him with Callis.

I am fed up with House of Torture too, but I just realised we might get a SANADA/Evil WTL run and hey, there's a (somewhat tarnished) silver lining #njpw

St. John's, Newfoundland! You are now once again... Lansdellicious #imhere

Halifax, Nova Scotia! You are now... Lansdellicious #imhere

Thanking West Brom as a Derby fan feels so, so wrong... But here we are. #coyr #dcfc

It might go back further than this, but right now my working theory is that the on-air talk of Jerry Lawler never having a "WrestleMania moment" was the spark that has led to the impending replacement of the heel-face dynamic in WWE with a focus on creating "viral moments" instead 1/12

Come on you Rams! Massive win leaves us realistically only needing a draw next weekend.

Gonna be joining @thewadekeller.bsky.social tomorrow for the #AEWDynamite post show on the @pwtorch.bsky.social YouTube. Let's see if we can stay under 3 hours this time...

@richfann.bsky.social Welcome to the EV Club! What did you get? I drive an Ioniq 5, my wife has an iD4. I'm almost 3 years in and loving it.

@richfann.bsky.social Heard you talking about wrestling and burlesque on Everything this week... Did you know I'm a burlesque performer too?

@jeskeets.bsky.social @tasmelas.bsky.social I'm sure you will get this 1000 times today... Jeff's "...you will drop your balls. And in Survivor, just like in life, that means you're moving on to the next stage" has to be in contention for the best line he's ever dropped. What would your picks be?

I really do love talking.

We do love to yap about the graps

Randomly thought of #njpw New Year's Dash 2023 this morning. The moment when Kenny Omega is in the ring for a tag match, we don't know who his partner is, and the coin drops... Kenny's double take... That's why NYDash used to be such a fun event.

In 10 days I'll be hosting, producing, and performing in an all-BIPOC variety show. In Newfoundland. When I moved here 25 years ago, I would've never dreamed this would be possible. And we have one of the best performers in the world, @loulouburlesque.bsky.social , headlining. I will cry a lot.

Just listening to @richfann.bsky.social listing his favourite TV themes and realising that our top 10s barely overlap and yet I liked most of his. For me: Honorable mentions: Airwolf, Ulysses 31, A-Team, Knight Rider 10) Wentworth 9) Beverly Hills 90210 8) LA Law 7) MASK 6) Game of Thrones

It is, once again, Friday. Therefore, I shall luxuriate in The Touch #TouchFriday youtu.be/A52--FKUQgU?... @anakinsdad.bsky.social

People are gonna be so disappointed when the sixth member of the Don Callis Family is just a returning Trent #aewdynamite
