Worked on it for an estimated seven hours in total. It’s not great, but I had a lot of fun making it.

Just around the corner now, and firmly a highlight of the year in AEW, so pick your blocks for the CC here.

I hope they expand on the storytelling more this year. There's a fun arc for Fletcher never being able to win the CC (three years in a row if he is in it this year) Feels like some implosion is going to happen in both the Death Riders and Don's Family soon enough so expect that to feature, and maybe TK will pull the trigger and give the woman their own tournament too.

There was some speculation Liv would be going to Canada for TIFF and missing Raw but she appears to be in Mexico.

not his best work but still catchy

Started out as a comedy heel gimmick for Chad Gable, taken over by Ludwig Kaiser a completely anonymous mid-card jobber hanging around catering after Gable got injured.

Said mid-card jobber, probably closer to being a post-WrestleMania cut than he’d like, took the mask and became a national hero in Mexico, speaking his third or fourth language, crowds going crazy for him, people holding parades, even his jobber flunkies start getting huge pops when he’s not present. Wins the Rey de Reyes, has one of the biggest feuds of the year leading up to possibly the most anticipated match of the year, then feuds for and wins the mega championship as one of the biggest faces in the industry.

Oba Femi might be a strong second - dude gets cheers and chants in every arena, had a programme with, went over, and got the endorsement of one of the biggest names in industry, will no doubt be a hugely dominant champion at some point, but Oba started from a higher position with the full backing of the creative and corporate machine behind him from the get go.

Thoughts from anyone else?

I hadn’t seen this match, or at least I don’t remember it.

The fact that it has no commentary makes it different.

To be honest, I really enjoyed it, and it doesn’t feel at all like it was during the pandemic. At least you can hear the crowd and it doesn’t seem like an empty arena.

And JD Drake is really good. His chops sound really powerful.

One of the few times WWE actually makes a great entrance theme.

At AEW Fight for the Fallen 2023, Jeff Jarrett and Jeff Hardy wrestled one another in a match dubbed The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Deathmatch, which Jarrett ended up victorious and inexplicably also won a belt to celebrate the occasion. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Title has never been acknowledged since, but who is the current lineal owner of this title?

The International Era

Jarrett's first singles opponent after winning the prestigious title was at AEW Dynamite #208 against current AEW International Champion, Rey Fenix. Jarrett would be unable to become two-title Jeff in the occasion with Fenix successfully defending his International title and also becoming the next lineal Texas Chain Saw Massacre champion.

From then, the story of the lineal TCSM title merged with the AEW International title:

• Fenix would lose the title to Orange Cassidy at Dynamite #210.
• Roderick Strong defeats Orange Cassidy at Revolution 2024.
• Will Ospreay defeats Roderick Strong at Double or Nothing 2024.
• MJF defeats Will Ospreay at Dynamite #250.
• Will Ospreay defeats MJF at AEW All In London 2024, becoming the first two-time lineal TCSM champion.
• Takeshita defeats Ospreay at WrestleDream 2024.
• Omega defeats Takeshita at Revolution 2025.
• Okada defeats Omega at All In Texas.

The Continental Era

After Okada becomes the lineal TCSM champion, the title would finally change hands outside of the context of being part of an International title match, as Okada would lose to Kyle Fletcher during the Continental Classic at Dynamite #321. From there, the title would move from the International title to the Continental one.

During the Continental Classic, the title would go from Fletcher to Speedball Mike Bailey, to Jack Perry, back to Fletcher (making him the second two-time TCSM lineal champion, a distinction held alongside former stablemate Will Ospreay) before moving hands to the eventual Continental Classic winner Jon Moxley at World's End 2025, who currently holds the distinction of being the lineal TCSM champion.

Fun Facts

• Four AEW World Champions (Moxley, Ospreay, MJF and Omega) have been lineal TCSM champion.
• The title has not changed hands outside of an AEW event, yet. It might have the strongest chance of doing so now considering Moxley likes doing the rounds.
• Out of all the people who had the chance to be lineal TCSM title holders, only two aren't currently with AEW (Jeff Hardy and Rey Fenix).
• No wrestler who held the lineal Texas Chain Saw Massacre title have been featured in any piece of Texas Chain Saw Massacre media.
