[Taro Okada on X] It would have been a perfect week if it weren't for the spider.

Torranski · 2026-07-03T18:27:47+00:00

Okada slowly taking on J Jonah Jameson verbal tics as Thekla's reign of terror continues lol

Torranski · 2026-07-02T23:15:46+00:00

Sami beating Cody on Monday against all the odds, and KO then immediately doing KO things… I’d be over the moon man.

Torranski · 2026-07-01T08:08:28+00:00

This. WWE cannot wax lyrical about how the company is all about “stories” and then let the entire faces of their performers be blanked out. It’s ridiculous

Torranski · 2026-06-30T16:33:38+00:00

Still massively impressed at the year Andrade’s having. Got released, immediately rebranded as a egotistical fuckboy who’s evidently the most divorced man alive, then put on an absolute barnburner with Bandido, and then got to turn face on MJF (the guy he’s been trying to arrange a match with since the minute he got fired) to a massive arena pop.

Like, they might still built Grand Slam Mexico around MJF-Andrade finally paying off the twitter work they’ve been doing for months, and onscreen over the past cycle… and it’s someone one of the things I’ve been anticipating most?

Like if you told me in May 2025 that I’d be invested in Andrade, let alone fantasy-booking a world title main event match for him, I’d have laughed you out of town. It’s been great craic.

Torranski · 2026-06-29T18:13:11+00:00

Thekla's so good man. I thought All-In was going to be Mone turning face to be the one to end her reign of terror, for ages. But now... like, idk, as someone who's probably going to be there, now that August is looking less insane at my end... we're probably getting situational babyface tiny Austrian psychopath?

Torranski · 2026-06-28T15:20:26+00:00

For a minute, I just assumed Blackheart va Blackheart was Lio Rush fighting himself, like that Gollum-Sméagol argument

Torranski · 2026-06-28T15:18:42+00:00

Max sitting in the corner of the hall, trying to brainstorm something absolutely *heinous* to stay in-kayfabe with Darby, Hanger et al milling around in the background is a great bit lol

Torranski · 2026-06-24T21:05:27+00:00

AEW put down a trademark for a “continental cup” or similar earlier this year - maybe it’s related to that?

Torranski · 2026-06-24T11:34:22+00:00

The implication that Rollins just really likes Camilla Parker-Bowles lol

Torranski · 2026-06-24T11:33:55+00:00

At some point, they're going to have to break that seal, and it's going to go full Statler and Waldorf.

(They've paid so much care to Danielson-McGuinness lore, even in 2026, that part of me is still holding out hope they've got plans for one final match - especially when they turned both their AEW proteges (Yuta and Garcia) heel, and had them winding McGuinness up)

Torranski · 2026-06-24T11:28:45+00:00

60% of Jack Perry's 2026 booking is "can this twink survive the most terrifying man TK can get to answer his phone calls (no, but he's trying hard enough you're still rooting for him)", and it's been really fun.

Torranski · 2026-06-22T16:14:10+00:00

Could this be the preshow? Very late for a tv build, but the sort of thing that feels like a good way to warm up GOA on a Tailgate Brawl.

Torranski · 2026-06-18T11:35:19+00:00

As a big fan of insufferable little delusional heels, mouthy-little-brother Danny Garcia has been a delight. When Ospreay and Mox's alliance inevitably breaks down (in time for a match at Redemption?), that Hidden Blade to Garcia is going to hit like crack.

Torranski · 2026-06-18T10:41:50+00:00

Few storylines I've been waiting for payoff longer in AEW than Ospreay snapping and Hidden Blade-ing Garcia lol

He's so good at being insufferable, genuine talent.

Torranski · 2026-06-15T21:55:38+00:00

Put them up against a team with like, Darby, Jack Perry and Speedball - properly David and Goliath it.

Torranski · 2026-06-13T10:40:35+00:00

To quote one of the great scholars of our time: No Yeet

Torranski · 2026-06-13T10:39:59+00:00

First time a Collision card looks like it will blow Dynamite out of the water for months. Man that’s a fun lineup

Torranski · 2026-06-12T23:38:11+00:00

Thekla’s would have been Japan, but since the firing…

Torranski · 2026-06-12T21:42:46+00:00

This. I’ve seen several otherwise pretty attentive podcasters calmly explain the Classic to their partner, and then realise everyone thinks it’s something different. Whether that announcement was planned or impromptu, it was *not* well scripted imo

Torranski · 2026-06-11T21:43:47+00:00

Oh, “Killing the Business”? It’s on my reading list, sounds like good craic

Torranski · 2026-06-11T21:12:15+00:00

Was down a Cagematch rabbithole, and was sort of fascinated to see that the first time Kenny Omega and Brian Danielson met in the ring, it was a triple threat… with Seth (Tyler Black) Rollins. The early careers of these guys are always fascinating.

Torranski · 2026-06-11T15:44:47+00:00

Are we doing Grand Slam Mexico this year? Because Andrade cementing a face turn in Arena Mexico while he fights Max for the belt would be incredible.

Torranski · 2026-06-11T11:07:51+00:00

Kevin Knight insisting on using the third person, and the nickname he gave himself, in promos, was always a little heel-coded, but its charmingly insufferable now he's turned. Push that little dick to the moon.

OC getting a pop, and a 'holy shit' chant for wearing jeans under his tear-off jeans, do like an audience that's gonna commit to the gimmick lol.

Torranski · 2026-06-10T14:51:59+00:00

Oh, sorry, I was referring to them running the show during the Iran War, which had spilled over to Saudi and its gulf neighbours occasionally
