Great tribute to In Living Color's "Men on Film". Well done Travis!

[@planexshifter]

I called it Men on wrestling

[@imfreviews]

I just....I am without words.... Just...wow. Wow.

[@EwanCumia]

David Alan Grier wasn't acting.

[@jasmith85]

I'm looking forward to what I heard that The dull bucks complaining to twinkles why did you pick us to reform the "elite", because no wants to see you fuckers and you kill any viewer ship, and you can't wrestle

[@mr.timebombman2230]

The way the illustrator does Tony's bug eyed still cracks me up every time.

[@similaritiesendhere]

Pretty sure he stole it from South Park

[@johnnygrind77]

This should be the artwork for every AEW review because we, "HATED IT!" Well done, Travis!

[@philanderphillips2309]

Agreed!!!

[@mrkirkaldy6633]

No the finish was the Orange Punch which broke Danielson orbital socket plus Rain maker but everyone thought injury was a work Nope it's real Danielson out for 2023

[@silveredgrunion7196]

​@mrkirkaldy6633 third injury this year? Started off hurt, then came back for the mjf match...got hurt...took time off..came back in June, wrestled okada...got hurt....then came back in the fall....got hurt...out for 2023.

[@johngallagher72]

We 90s nerds truly lived a blessed life . Sunday meant the Simpsons, In Living Colour, Married with Children and Herman's Head .

[@timtimly6085]

We truly were spoiled!!

[@johngallagher72]

Closest I've seen was in 80s where u had Cosby , Family Ties , Cheers and Night Court on Thursday and in the 70s on Sunday All in the Family, Alice and the Jeffersons 👍

I wasn't planning on listening to this tonight, but i saw the thumbnail in my feed, and seeing the "Men on Film" artwork got me...

[@MoralesCBotiz87]

Give Travis a raise, guys

[@philanderphillips2309]

Agreed!!!!!!!!

[@kevinbudzinski9576]

[@pimp3000c]

Another one?

[@captainxhulio2929]

I mean it's alright, it's the style we've become accustomed to but honestly I really liked when they had multiple guests doing the artwork. It was so diverse and refreshing

[@sbz88]

Tony's "big announcement" was to tell people that tickets are going on sale for All In 2024 😂😂. A show that's 10 months away. He's gonna hold onto that fluke in Wembley forever.

[@annna6553]

Tony's fed. Not the Peoples. No wonder it sucks. Nuff said

[@DavidOwen-yv8wz]

That was more embarrassing than any of the joke predictions of what the announcement could be that l saw!

[@EvilGeniusRANIK]

Listening to Cornette is how I follow AEW Programming. Am I the only one?

[@ReapFamily]

I watch weekly, and have for years, and the Gods honest truth is AEW has never been worse. There’s no way they’ll be around in 5 years if things don’t change.

[@hotbbqruffles]

I can't follow that crap anymore lol. I only watch the clips that involve MJF and even that is starting to become somewhat meh sadly. MJF has been one of the bright spots of AEW television and I do not want to see him hamming it up with The Acclaimed.

[@MisterE1976]

You & me both!

[@militarized_monk755]

Haven't watched wrestling since '01'ish but have been trying to watch AEW the last few weeks, just to follow along on Cornette's videos. But man it's tough, I watched RAW once recently and it's even worse. Think I'll just continue following strictly through Corny from here on out.

[@misterelom]

Been like that for me since they got rid of Punk.

[@HMKASTheImpeccable]

Jim Cornette roasting and annihilating tf outta AEW is better than watching it been like that for four years going on five‼️🤣😂💀💀

[@annna6553]

So pathetic how far american entertainment has fallen since the 80s and 90s.

I'm watching tonite's AEW episode right now. Damn, did Billy Gun have a growth spurt or something? He's towering over everybody in this 8 man tag match. MJF looks tiny next to him. 😂

[@imfreviews]

He's as tall as Hulk Hogan, deceptively tall

[@jamesgroover4643]

He does look like he's gotten taller over the years!!! Bizarre 😜

[@Thurmanatr16]

He’s 6 5 so about a foot taller than the bulk of the roster.

[@Reese13]

@@Thurmanatr16 😂That's crazy, right? I mean, he was the biggest guy, by far in that match. 😂😂

[@DavidOwen-yv8wz]

You’re a braver man than me, l can’t watch ha ha! But yes Billy Gunn is HUGE, but he was relatively slim when he first started and through his first 5-6 years in the WWF, plus you always had Diesel, Sid, Razor Ramon, Big Show, Undertaker, Kane, Rock, HUGE Triple H, Viscera, Kurrgan, Bradshaw, Godfather, Crush, DOA, Bart Gunn of course etc etc around in the 90s, so he never really stood out as he does now in AEW.

[@andisuge]

And Tony announced he's giving away free tickets for next Wembley show. This must be the most idiotic business idea in the history of history. There's no way anybody can figure this guy out everything he does makes no sense at all.

Jim Cornette's review of the first segments that involved MJF was entertaining, but Jim reviewing the Kenny segment was LEGENDARY😂❤

[@natrixxvision6997]

People who have come through AEW, most of whom are still there: Ruby Riot. Paige. Arn Anderson. Tully Blanchard. Sting. Ric Flair. Edge. Christian. Daniel Bryan. Eddie Kingston. CM Punk. Jeff Jarrett. Jay Lethal. Claudio Castignoli. Dustin Rhodes. Cody Rhodes. FTR. William Regal. The Briscoe Brothers. Daniels and Kazarian. Billy Gunn. These guys are STARS. They know how to work. Why can’t this company do better?

[@SPACEBOYSTINK]

Babyface MJF is like when they had Stone Cold side with Vince. Nobody wanted it

[@insignificantaftermathPROJECTS]

It was funny for a bit though. Especially when Kurt Angle was involved.

I know we’re all hoping MJF leaves in 2024, but I’d bet everything I have he had already signed an extension. Which is heartbreaking as an MJF fan. They have completely ruined him. His stock has dropped considerably

[@marvinleong5902]

I want to hear Jim thoughts on AEW signing Ric Flair to a 2 years contract. A 74 f**king years old Ric Flair who is probably getting his "one last match" which Tony would grant him because he is a mark and got to play with Ric

[@LL-fd7xn]

Tbh, I am completely oblivious to Rick's age. However he's 74? Damn! I am surprise he is still standing!

[@simonantill5161]

Loosing 1 bil Phill must have hurt relations between WBD and TK

[@ReapFamily]

Tony has gotten progressively worse at booking. AEW has lost all momentum, ratings down, ticket sales plummeting and their crowds have never cared less. Tony needs to hire people who have booking experience and know what the fuck they’re doing, before it’s too late. Tony is burnt out figuratively and literally, and I don’t think his ego will let him have someone else take the reigns.

[@matthewhostetter8974]

The timing of this dropping after one of the worst Dynamites in AEW history is just pottery. Tonight made this show look almost passable. Tony's announcement was a popcorn fart. Claudio lost to Pockets in a 25-minute match. The Hung-Fucks lose their Trios titles to no reaction. Jericho has a boner for Omegas as they win their tag match, announces a broken Paul Wight and Ibushi as they tag partners, and the Elite have a lover quarrel. They even have MJF eat the pin to Jay "Switch the Channel" White, in an 8-way with the Bullet Club Gold and the Acclaimed.

[@Thurmanatr16]

It was terrible, again. MJF needs to get the hell out of the company.

[@insignificantaftermathPROJECTS]

I think I see AEW talents and TK sit backstage and they come up with ideas and instead of it being like a process where ideas get formulated then they go through an approval process and they analyse and evaluate if its logical or if it fits the show etc... its just "Holy shit bro. What if like... Paul Wight is fished out of the ocean dressed as Captain Insano?" And TK and the boys are like "Yes!! That would be SO funny! The internet will love it!"
