Should I just pretend I’m on the AEW call since apparently no one is?

Amazing, they opened by saying that Darby Allin doesn’t wear face paint, and that’s his real skull!!

Medically it’s apparently not safe to wrestle with an exposed skull, but that “just adds to Darby’s appeal.”

Tony says Darby’s skull freaked him out the first time, and it hasn’t gotten easier.

They promise to move on from Darby’s skull, but then someone (didn’t catch the name) asked how his skull got exposed and Darby says it “sounded more badass than a tattoo”

Tony says the Winter Is Coming name was something they had been thinking of doing for a while, but almost decided against it because they couldn’t leave Florida for the foreseeable future and “Florida doesn’t have winter.”

Tony says the match between Moxley & Omega will be very special, but says “the CGI isn’t finished yet,” so he doesn’t want to make too many promises.

Tony says the match between Kazarian and Jericho will have a talent portion. Jericho sings, Kazarian plays bass, “it just makes sense.”

The Dynamite Diamond Ring has gotten a makeover to include more blood diamonds.

Cody just interrupted the call, trying to order a large pizza, two-liter of soda and two orders of crazy bread. He got the whole order out twice before realizing he was on the call.

Tony says next year’s Double or Nothing will have be casino-themed.

Tony says Team Taz came about very organically. Taz told him “let me work with Cage and Starks or else I will hurt you.”

He repeated the threat after seeing a few Will Hobbs matches.

Tony says that Chris Harrington is setting up a swear jar, “and this time it’s going to work.”

Meltzer asked about how Tony feels Fulham FC’s chances are this season. Tony says he’s confident that yesterday’s win over Leicester City will boost their morale before Saturday’s game against Manchester City. Says this is a good time to take more football questions.

Tony says that as long as Lookman and Cavaleiro are focused, Fulham’s chances of survival are “pretty decent.”

Back to wrestling as Tony fields a question about incorporating more Warner Media IP into AEW, and says he can’t say a lot, but that we should prepare ourselves for a shot for shot remake of Gone With The Wind, starring Jon Moxley as Rhett Butler and Cody as Ashley Wilkes.

Tony says his favorite moment of 2020 was filming the Stadium Stampede match because “I ate so much free ice cream that night.”

Tony says he’s “excited for TripleMania,” but keeps insisting on over-pronouncing it correctly.

Tony says PAC just sits backstage, glowering. Even when there isn’t a show. “I paid for a very nice hotel room for him, but he doesn’t sleep. He just...waits.”

Asked why so few publications were invited to the call, Tony says they are using the free trial of their conference call software and “tough decisions had to be made.”

As Tony is explaining the free trial limitations, he is cut off by an automated message that thanks everyone for using the software. I guess that’s it for the call?
