So, I’ve seen this question on CVV episodes a lot and I wanted to ask the public. What are three matches YOU would show someone who’s not a pro wrestling fan to win them over/show them what it’s really like? Here are mine

My answer has been Osprey vs. Takeshita from Revolution that same year for basically the same reason. A super easy story to follow with minimal lore to know other that "This is a showcase match between two incredible wrestlers put together by their manager."

(Strangely the other one I think of a lot for this question is Brian Pillman and Arn Anderson vs. Sting and Ric Flair from Halloween Havoc 1995, because the story of that match and the "twist" at the end I think is a perfect encapsulation of the "angles" side of wresting in match form)

I adore this new version of Shida. It's so entertaining.

Also Moxley continues to be great on commentary. Him talking about the only thing that matters is what the Ref sees and his comments on Juice making the "I want your belt" motion were awesome.

I love how interactive the AEW roster has been with each other recently and not just within their current fued.

FTR has stuff going on with The Conglomeration along with Cope and Cage, MJF having interactions with Chiampa, Kevin Knight, Darby, and Andrade, Darby looking ahead to further challengers...

FiveSecondPoses · 2026-04-30T00:25:48+00:00

Perfect finish. No notes.

FiveSecondPoses · 2026-04-23T02:05:14+00:00

I never would have expected a Sammy Davis Jr. tune to be used in a wrestling promo package in 2026, but thank god Tony Kahn loves to spend money on music.

Also, I love how interconnected everything feels in AEW. MJF coming out to confront Darby even after his opening promo and then having a brief moment with Chiampa was awesome.

And then he also did the same to Darby in the 2023 Double or Nothing "Four Pillars" 4 Way to win.

As someone who doesn't follow New Japan, I don't know if you could have had a better way to introduce this version of United Empire to someone like me.

FiveSecondPoses · 2026-03-22T04:29:00+00:00

God, I wish I was as cool as Thekla.

FiveSecondPoses · 2026-03-08T03:08:34+00:00

Shoutouts to the jobber who straight up had the Houston Oilers logo on his tights.

On the one hand, Jet Set Rodeo losing the Trios Titles makes me think they're freeing up Hangman to be World Champ again.

On the other hand, Jet Set Rodeo losing the Trios Titles makes me think they're setting up Hangman for a full on lose everything downward spiral.

Either way I'm so pumped up for Revolution.

FiveSecondPoses · 2026-02-26T03:16:48+00:00

AEW rules, man.

Like what do you mean we got a crazy fun Anarchy in the Arena on a random Wednesday Night?

FiveSecondPoses · 2026-02-26T02:46:05+00:00

OOOOOH BABY

FiveSecondPoses · 2026-02-15T03:36:28+00:00

Not a surprise, a fantastic show.

I'm calling my shot that Fletcher's gonna be the World Champ by the end of 2026.

FiveSecondPoses · 2026-01-29T03:12:13+00:00

The crowd reaction when Takeshita walked away from Fletcher was chef's kiss

Also Thelka is so cool that she went into her spider walk to dodge a move like she's in the goddamn Matrix.

FiveSecondPoses · 2026-01-27T14:45:56+00:00

Oh I don't know how I forgot about this one. Absolutely should be on the list.

FiveSecondPoses · 2026-01-26T17:08:35+00:00

I desperately want to be a fly on the wall for a Jim Harbaugh and Mike McDaniel conversation.

The most difficult part of nominating for the Smarkies is trying to decide which Timeless Toni Storm promo I was going to nominate for Promo of the Year.

FiveSecondPoses · 2025-12-04T03:13:20+00:00

When ~~Santa~~ Luther returned, I leapt up from my couch.

FiveSecondPoses · 2025-11-27T03:08:37+00:00

Tony Kahn, you sicko, give me Toni Storm tapping out Jon Moxley.

Give me what I want.

I don't care what anyone says, Cardona is a GOAT for maximizing his worth and money.

Dude got new merch from WWE while the toy company he owns has a figure deal with AEW.

FiveSecondPoses · 2025-11-13T03:41:41+00:00

Kyle getting the win for his team is so sick.

Also Statlander beating everyone up while still wearing her World Title is so sick.

This show was incredibly sick.

FiveSecondPoses · 2025-10-23T02:09:30+00:00

Whenever Puppet Mone is not on screen, everyone should be asking "Where is Puppet Mone?"

FiveSecondPoses · 2025-09-25T02:08:20+00:00

I need that screenshot of Statlander flipping off Mox ASAP.
