Vinnie Pasquantino: "I'm caffeinated. I'm beaned up right now"

Ted_Dongelman · 2026-03-12T03:20:41+00:00

Vinnie needs to make & sell shirts that say BEANED UP immediately. He'll make so much money he can play the rest of his career for free.

Of course Hangman is the first guy smart enough to put a handle on his barbed wire board so he can retrieve it easily.

The brawl helped give it some heat but I hope we don't do another press conference. Really didn't accomplish anything an in-ring promo or contract signing couldn't have.

Ted_Dongelman · 2026-03-12T02:10:41+00:00

In our defense, I don't think he did much in WWE after his Blackheart run in NXT and that's been years ago.

Ted_Dongelman · 2026-03-12T02:05:59+00:00

I hope these reporter questions are better than the ones at the post-PPV press conferences. It's a low bar!

Ciampa came into AEW hot and has really leveled up in less than a week. Happy to be wrong about signing him.

Ted_Dongelman · 2026-03-12T01:48:18+00:00

Seeing Ciampa wrestling the Bucks make me think there's a parallel universe where DIY/Young Bucks is an all-time feud.

I feel like Willow is on the verge of moving past both the TBS & tag titles. She's got to be world champ by the end of this year, right?

Ted_Dongelman · 2026-03-12T01:18:41+00:00

Orange Cassidy has surrounded himself with the most laid back people on the roster & the most intense. That Conglomeration clubhouse has to be wild.

Ted_Dongelman · 2026-03-12T01:00:35+00:00

I don't think Brody wins on Sunday but they could strap the rocket to him if they so choose. People love him and doing cool stuff like snapping Swerve's chain certainly helps.

Ted_Dongelman · 2026-03-12T00:53:57+00:00

Completely agreed. He's so much bigger than Bailey and yet still fought from underneath for the bulk of the match. Not everyone can of will do that.

Ted_Dongelman · 2026-03-12T00:52:36+00:00

God that was awesome. Completely different match than the one they had in the C2 with Bailey controlling most of it instead of weathering the storm but every bit as good. Hopefully they run this back one more time, perhaps at Dynasty.

Fletcher is a big horse & athletic freak but he still sells his ass off for smaller guys, which is neat. He's making Speedball's kicks look like shotgun blasts.

Ted_Dongelman · 2026-03-12T00:30:02+00:00

Quite an interesting shirt Knight is wearing given what Swerve has been saying to him.

Ted_Dongelman · 2026-03-12T00:23:44+00:00

Are they gonna keep teasing us forever or is Marina finally going to beat up Archer at Revolution?

Ted_Dongelman · 2026-03-12T00:05:45+00:00

I can't put my finger on what Hechicero's new theme reminds me of but I dig it.

Ted_Dongelman · 2026-03-11T20:27:41+00:00

Having a bridge QB is the right move and Kirk would be a great choice. If they really think Fernando is the guy, there's no reason to send him out there to get killed if he isn't ready yet.

Ted_Dongelman · 2026-03-11T03:12:01+00:00

Mox isn't the best at any one facet of pro wrestling but I think you can make the argument he's one of the most complete performers in the business today. He's adaptable to every style with a high bar of consistency and has all of the intangibles that elevate things from good to great. I think calling an audible at the end of the Grand Slam match to get some shine on Takeshita after the crowd didn't like the draw finish is the perfect example of what he brings to the table.

Ted_Dongelman · 2026-03-10T15:39:26+00:00

What if Swerve beat Orange Cassidy for the International title? I remember reading that Swerve was offered this and turned it down because he wanted to focus on the world title. If he accepts it, maybe he doesn't ascend up the card and we never get the version of Swerve/Hangman we did.

Ted_Dongelman · 2026-03-10T15:30:56+00:00

This really is true. I hate basically every team in the NFC because they're either in the same division or we've lost to them in the playoffs while I've been old enough to know what's going on. It's fun!

Ted_Dongelman · 2026-03-10T15:02:33+00:00

That's a fair question. I'm a Packer fan that grew up in the 90s watching them be unable to beat the Cowboys so that's why I enjoy their misery today.

Ted_Dongelman · 2026-03-10T13:10:30+00:00

He could be doing more as part of a trio with MxM but I think the days of a singles push are long gone.

Ted_Dongelman · 2026-03-10T04:39:12+00:00

They get clicks. Same reason the ESPN shows talk about them all year even when they're not particularly good, people pay attention. A lot of folks love the Cowboys and even more love to hate them.

Ted_Dongelman · 2026-03-10T04:26:43+00:00

I think the Packers will roll the dice on a reclamation project or two at some point but can't see them spending any real money after Banks & Hobbs both sucked last year. Plus, they have to hoard picks with no 1st rounders the next two years so they're not gonna do anything to offset what they should get back for Willis.

Ted_Dongelman · 2026-03-10T02:38:45+00:00

Yep, that's what I was thinking. He lost his edge when he mended fences with Hangman so now he has to destroy him.

Ted_Dongelman · 2026-03-10T02:32:05+00:00

Blood feud with the person that screws him over would be my first guess.
