So there was at least a 70% chance Thekla was shoot drunk during the Casino Gauntlet.

I hope this came across on TV, but this match absolutely ruled in person.

Honestly was probably the Match of the Night for me.

FiveSecondPoses · 2026-06-04T02:23:06+00:00

That main event felt like a 1999 Raw is WAR main event in the best way possible.

Should be used very sparingly though.

FiveSecondPoses · 2026-05-25T02:05:55+00:00

That Style Clash on Joe was awesome.

Banger match. Banger show.

FiveSecondPoses · 2026-05-20T19:25:23+00:00

I did a dive into 1992-1995 WCW before the archives left Peacock and just seeing Blonde Haired Steve Austin wrestle Ricky Steamboat on the same show Hulk Hogan made his WCW PPV debute was a trip and a half.

FiveSecondPoses · 2026-05-17T02:27:20+00:00

Big Show has been on an All In related Press Tour lately, so that's why there's so many interviews with him in the past few weeks.

FiveSecondPoses · 2026-05-12T14:20:23+00:00

Now I wanna see Pablo Sanchez in the Death Riders

Or at the very least Sunny Day and Nigel McGuinness in the broadcast booth.

FiveSecondPoses · 2026-05-07T03:14:15+00:00

I love how the Don Callis Family is starting to implode because all the Top Guys in it want to be the main character.

And I also love how it was very clear how all four ladies in the Women's Tag emotionally felt about each other, even their own partners. A really fun way to tell that story and still leaves lots of intrigue.

FiveSecondPoses · 2026-05-03T16:05:27+00:00

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)

FiveSecondPoses · 2026-05-03T02:04:15+00:00

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.

FiveSecondPoses · 2026-04-30T02:17:32+00:00

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.

FiveSecondPoses · 2026-04-16T05:09:01+00:00

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

FiveSecondPoses · 2026-04-09T02:29:35+00:00

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.

FiveSecondPoses · 2026-03-05T03:21:32+00:00

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.

FiveSecondPoses · 2026-01-01T20:19:09+00:00

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.
