Chris Cruise, that son of a bitch.

Bret Hart unveiling the men's world title?

At the very first Dynamite and watched ever since, but I didn't follow either Twitter or BTE so I know less than half this stuff. Wild! As for Chris Cruise tho... ooh, as a long-time MD wrestling/indy fan, I have such "fond" memories of the MSAC ;)... ... I'll just leave this here, shall I?

Ah ok. Very funny stuff.

the toronto star article... gory self mutilation, was that before or after blood and guts was born?

Oh that's right. Kinda crazy that was the Star and not the Sun

I dont think that counts since "gory self-mutilation" became a meme. I bet most fans would know about the quote, even if they couldnt remember where it came from.

Oh, Big Swole... She's a whole can of worms by herself.

They had a match so fucking bad that it’s been heavily edited for YouTube release

Leaving the belt in the limo the day of winning it was such good shit. And then claiming it was stolen.

All of this happened in under 7 years Would you include the Ivelisse and Thunder Rosa debacle?

The Dark Order Debacle where the extras completely screwed up the end segment of the show?

AEW getting out all of its "This could have happened in a territory promotion" shenanigans early on.

Putting on my tin foil hat here. Was the plan for Phil to be world champ then get fired?

I really thought Strong Hearts could have been something. Side note it was very funny early AEW used the same generic template for both Jericho and CIMAs trons

I was bummed we never got to see this play out

Tony Khan bumming the stickiest of the medical icky off of Big Swole? Samuray del Sol pissing off Amanda Huber with his "Brody" post? GCW World Champion Jon Moxley? Everyone doing indie farewells because the indie booking policy kept changing? The alleged jism-covered TNT Championship belt?

Matt Hardy parodying Jeff Hardy's walkout through the crowd during Keith Lee's debut?

The Awesome Kong vs Aja Kong tease comes to mind every now and then

And then right after Sandbaggate, Thunder Rosa missile-dropkicking Jamie Hayter in the back of the head during a pin attempt. With rumors of TR ”hiding in the bathroom” from Hayter afterward. Summer of 2022, ladies and gentlemen!

But like, this was a genuinely insane thing to do -

Remember Tino and vaguely the Jericho one, although I had remembered it as him leaving the title on top of the car and driving off.

And Jawnny from newLEGACY helped on that video too, WHICH MAKES JOHN BLUD AN AEW ORIGINAL

OMG the Tino bit! Def forgot that one

What's the Toronto Star article?

Sonny Kiss is literally beyond gender lol

The pandemic-era “Drug Floor”.

What only remember of Big Swole was Tony sending the Twitter trolls after her because she said there weren't many opportunities for people of colour or women. Both are only slightly less true now.

I need to see that AEW Parody

Cole and Britt were never married but yeah

Like it was a missed opportunity to be like "even other wrestlers from THAT SHITTY SUPER INDY AEW come to watch our show because IT'S BETTER THAN AEW" and I feel like it was such a fucking fumble on Paul's part
