SuperClash or the Invasion? Fear of Impact Wrestling. Fear of Becoming an AEW Blog.

*Blog post started on December 3, 2020.

I like to use the "Rule of Three" when it comes to titling blog posts. Perhaps that is just a need to feel clever. It is also a lifesaver when the posts are more observational instead of critical. Throw a "Fuck, Marry, Kill" implication about the topics, and it presents the illusion that everything will make sense.

I think having some really oddball to throw into a title as a means to spur interest. When the default is "Fear of Impact Wrestling and Becoming an AEW Blog", it is not going to encourage any of my non-wrestling-fan readers to check it out. What else do I fear right now? My parents' fate when it comes to COVID? That seems a little too soon to take a comedic spin on.

It sounds like they are doing fine. They are still driving my once infected sister to her job at the hospital. I feel like everything will work out for the best. But without any certainty of how things will turn out, making jokes is tough. The best effort came from my little brother's response to mom's recent positive test with how we will be avoiding "Rona House". My poetic brain replied to the message with the alliterative "Call it COVID Casa", but then the Patrick Swayze/"Family Guy" reference to the 1989 classic was apparent. Or at least I hope it was.

Humor is something that I must always have at my side. It is tough for me to be immediately humorous when coming off a significant day in pro-wrestling. Things were so much easier when it came to wit and grappling. My time as heel commentator in Peoria Wrestling when my wrist was broken or when I had to write articles for Next Generation Wrestling's website about their knock off WWE storylines. With the latter, wit was needed to make sure that we were not appearing to be a sample of WWE light. Thanks Paul Heyman and Joey Styles for showing me how to be hip.

All Elite is not my product, so unless there is crap wrestling, I cannot make jokes. That is a statement to the brilliance of the product. The only joke that has been made about the product is, "has anyone filled out a missing person's report for the AEW Women's Division". Is it really a valid comment when they have the top female performer in the Western Hemisphere and perhaps Japan?

 

The Current Undisputed Disgruntled Real Championship Wrestling Champions:

For those who claim "Championship Wrestling Champion" is redundant, remember that WCW and ECW would have to write it out the same way. Now I realize that Xtreme Professional Wrestling did one think wiser than Paul Heyman.

47th and Current DRCW Real Women's World Champion:

All Elite Wrestling Women's World Champion Hikaru Shida

(Reign began on October 25, 2020 from Smackdown Women's Champion Bayley)

 

I have a feeling the Sasha Banks will become the champion soon. With a character like Abadon as Shida's next challenger, a clean title defense would ruin her challenger. If Abadon fails to look strong, Banks is going to need a long reign to take the Real World Championship.

48th and Current DRCW Modern Poser Champion:

WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns (2)

(Reign began on August 30, 2020 from Bray "The Fiend" Wyatt)

Nick Aldis's 700+ day reign as NWA World Champion and Drew McIntyre's indie credentials keep the Universal Championship from becoming a possible title for the best male performer in wrestling. Good on WWE for trying by always having the WWE Champion lose to the Blueniverse in the annual Champion vs. Champion bout.

150th and Current DRCW OCHO Champion:

(IC/US/TV/N. American/National/TNT/X-DIV)

WWE Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn

(Reign began on November 9, 2020 from AEW TNT Champion Cody Rhodes)

He is currently the most interesting secondary champion to watch. With Darby Allin looking on to Sting or the FTW (older concepts), WWE has a chance to bring fresher and more legitimate match ups on Friday nights.

148th and Current DRCW Real World Tag Team Champions:

AEW World Tag Team Champions Nick and Matt Jackson, The Young Bucks (3)

(Reign began on November 9, 2020 from Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler, FTR)

 

90th and Current DRCW Real World World Champion:

All Elite Wrestling World Champion Kenny Omega (2)

(Reign began on  December 2, 2020 from John Moxley)

Return of the SuperClash or The Invasion???

The NWA is letting the United Wrestling Network feature their top prize, the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. Impact has been trying to maintain alliances through out its entire existence. These companies are just trying to stay relevant like World Class Championship Wrestling, the American Wrestling Association, and the Continental Wrestling Association were when the WWF was going national and the Jim Crockett Promotions was purchasing the failed territories that would make of Ted Turner's WCW base. This leads me to feel like AEW developing a working relationship with Impact Wrestling as a desperate move.
