Mark's Epic Blog of Randomness

 By Mark Rodriguez AEW has been collabing with DC Comics for a while. Other than this comic and hoodies with art from this comics, the wrestling organization has also been advertising DC's latest All In event. They even have images of Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman on the ring apron for the last few weeks. We found this comic while searching for Trick or Read things, so let's check it out.  The book is separate into mini-stories of each wrestler. Swerve Strickland- Swerve was born to fight, so he joined the army. Unfortunately the Sergeant wanted off the book mercenaries, so Swerve left. Swerve went to fight in the underground and then in the arena. He would later return, now as the champ alongside Prince Nana, to face the Sergeant once again. The Sarge is ready for a fight and saying Swerve is too good to get his hands dirty. Swerve is too fast and hits him with a flying stomp. Swerve says his hands are dirty as hell, but with sweat, tears... and blood. Toni Storm- Toni gr...

By Mark Rodriguez Buying wrestling shirts is always a big deal for the devoted fan, especially since a lot of them you have to get 'while they're hot' or some are available for a limited time. If you wait too long, or the wrestler gets released, their merch will vanish, so you better get it while you can. In the case of ProWrestlingTees, whenever a wrestler leaves the indies to go to WWE, for example Cora Jade FKA Elayna Black, all their merch gets removed since WWE will handle their merch going forward. Some shirts become outdated really quickly due to how the story changes with each new episode. The shirts based on Y2AJ were outdated by the time you got them in the mail because the team of Chris Jericho and AJ Styles was very short lived. But what about shirts that were up for such a short amount of time that they were gone within weeks, or even the same day it was released? I found two examples with ProWrestlingTees which I decided to bring up because it was odd that it ...

 By Mark Rodriguez and Ninja Jupi This week's Ring of Honor matches were the usual jobber fare, so we decided to check out the matches relating to Rampage, Collision and Battle of the Belts VII that aired Friday and Saturday. There will be a lot of Willow Nightgale, which is always good news for Jupi. AEW Rampage- Taya Valkyrie VS Izzy McQueen Taya pretty much squashed Izzy with two moves. Then the Outcasts, Saraya and Toni showed up to talk trash. Taya asks Toni if she should worry about her AEW Women's Title, to which the champ replies that she's beaten everyone. Taya reminds her that they haven't ever wrestled each other, and after some provoking, Toni agrees to put her title on the line against her at Battle of the Belts VII. Mark's Thoughts - Not much to say. Whenever they say 'So-and-So will be in Action tonight' it means they'll face a real bottom of the barrel jobber not even worth naming, so I was expecting a squash, but like... not a super squa...

 By Mark Rodriguez Tonight we get to see Mei Suruga's first singles match in AEW. She's always been teaming up with her mentor Emi Sakura, so let's see what she can do on her own. We also get to see Diamante in action.  Match 1- Mei Suruga w/ Baliyan Akki vs Hyena Hera Mei walks right up to Hyena and gets all up in her face, showing she's not backing down despite the height difference. Hyena raises her arm to really showcase the size advantage and Mei responds by stomping on her foot. Mei goes for the test of strength since Hyena is down on her knees, but she stands up and slams Mei into the mat. Hyena pats Mei on the head and starts treating her like a kid. Mei suddenly bites down on her hand. Mei walks around the ring, holding onto Hyena as she screams in pain. Mei finally lets her go, flipping her across the ring as Hyena holds onto her hand. The ref points at Mei telling her that biting isn't allowed, and she almost bit into his finger as well. You just don'...

 By Mark Rodriguez We got three matches tonight. Jade, the current TBS champ, graces us with her presence. We also get to see Skye Blue, Madison Rayne and Yuka Sakazaki in action! Match 1- Leila Gray & Jade Cargill vs Dulce Tormenta & DD Doom  The match opens with Dulce Tormenta facing off against the current TBS champ. As they grapple, Jade shoves Tormenta towards the ropes and presses her into the top turnbuckle. Jade kicks her in the midsection and hits her with a European Upercut, and then drags her over to tag in Leila. Leila, the sole remaining Baddie that Jade has left, starts hitting Tormenta and slams her back into the mat. Leila wastes too much time posing and and dancing, which gives Tormenta time to grab her for a roll up pin. Leila kicks out.  Dulce Tormenta hits her with some elbow strikes but Leila grabs her for a Russian Legsweep. Leila goes for the cover but Tormenta kicks out. Leila waits until Tormenta gets up and lays her out with a lariat...

 By Mark Rodriguez This week Dark Elevation has two matches while Dark gets one, so I might as well put them together. We get to see more of Billie Starkz as she faces off against Yuka Sakazaki and also a Four on Four match! Kiera Hogan also sees some action. Match 1- "Magical Girl" Yuka Sakazaki vs Billie Starkz  The match starts with Billie finally getting a good clean handshake from Yuka. They grapple and try to take control of each other's arms. Billie gets Yuka in a cravat headlock. Yuka manages to get out of it and get her in a headlock takedown. Billie gets Yuka in a headscissors and she kicks out of it.  Yuka shoves Billie towards the top turnbuckle and runs at her. Billie moves out of the way leaving Yuka to hit the turnbuckle with her elbow. Yuka goes for the ropes and kicks Billie back when she tries to approach her. Billie tries again and grabs onto her leg, but Yuka pulls her in and wraps her legs around her neck. She leans backwards off the ropes, choki...
