Thank you to everyone for their tweets, texts, emails, thoughts & comments in the last few days. Me & the entire Last family greatly appreciate it!
Moments like this are why I am proud to call all of you friends, and you are our friends, each week on the Drive Thru.
@GreatBrianLast

New Experience
TONIGHT!
Because of your amazing support, the Experience will be presented with a 6 minute overrun TONIGHT and FOREVER!
Last week's Experience & Drive Thru were both
#1
and some of our best shows...until TONIGHT!
NOW!
Well, not NOW, but LATER!
LATER!
TONIGHT!
So sad to wake up to this Bobby Eaton news. Universally loved & respected, he was on another level in the ring. Watch some Midnight Express matches today and keep Bobby and his family in your thoughts.
Pretty disgraceful for AEW to do an angle / promo built around antisemitism right now. It's beyond tone deaf; it's infuriatingly ignorant. Doesn't make me want to see a match, makes me want to turn the channel.
#AEWDynamite
Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, except Chris Jericho who was drunk of his ass and bored.
Seriously, Jericho is more full of shit than anyone when it comes to Brawl Out, since the day it happened.
A listener who worked the AEW Collision taping yesterday sent this along. Banned signs listed at the bottom. I was told CM Punk signs were also confiscated.
The Vince McMahon story dropped while we were recording the Drive Thru.
Will try to get Drive Thru clips up early on YouTube over the next day.
Fucking wild.
Terry Funk was one of the first wrestlers that made me say "I need to watch every time he is on TV". He never disappointed. For a couple of generations, you knew if you paid to see Terry Funk, he would steal the show. I feel lucky to have seen him live, and to have known him.
For a really long time, a lot of people who knew better turned a blind eye to AEW's clear management and leadership issues. They've needed a strong executive & management team since day one. It's a mess there, and it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone paying attention.
Nice to see Punk finally defend himself. Hope we get to see it a little more.
When people are set out & determined to fuck with you, you always need to make sure they understand who does the fucking, and do it with facts.
Really sad to hear about Brodie Lee. Nothing but respect for someone who cared as much about his family as everyone says he did. Same age as me, which makes it hard to wrap my head around. Give your kids an extra hug tonight, and keep his family in your thoughts.
AEW sucks right now & is run poorly, but its existence is important. Root for it to get better, never root for it to die. It would be great if they got their shit together, for both fans and the industry as a whole. A WWE monopoly would not be a good thing.
Happy New Year, everyone!
Thank you to all who have supported Arcadian Vanguard's audio & video productions in 2023!
Have fun. Be safe. Don't drink & drive. Don't drink & tweet.
Tally Ho!
Really enjoyed night one. It will be hard for night two to follow that.
Best matches this weekend (so far):
- FTR vs. Briscoes
- Becky vs. Bianca
- Cody vs. Rollins
The Austin match was fun and he looked good. Owens did great. Sent everyone off Peacock happy.
#WrestleMania
Some clown is apparently trying to confuse people & cause trouble with a "parody" account pretending to be me. Seemingly, he can't get anyone to pay attention to his thoughts unless they think it's me. If you encounter this loser, feel free to tell him to go fuck his mother.
It was never about a "revolution" for Cody. It was about ego & money.
Tony wasn't going to give him Punk money. Nor should he have. We'll see what old Vince does.
It was always clear which of the EVPs would leave first. It was also clear which EVP wouldn't be missed internally.
I know it must upset you, but It's 2023 and the "shock jocks" matter more than you do.
Do what you do best and just tag in Jeff. You certainly have proven that you don't have the brainpower for twitter (let alone good promos, good angles, good matches, or walking straight).
Last night was Sunday, Jimmy, maybe you’re the concussed one. You’re definitely an ex-great. I used to have massive respect for you, but that’s been long gone. That’s the case with many people now & it’s sad. This is my final tweet to you.
You & Least keep doing your Shock Jock
Look at the confidence one gets from a special relationship with Megha & a contract guaranteed by Tony's dad!
There is no more self serving wrestling than Jericho. He latches onto people with buzz and by the end, their buzz is gone.
He thinks he is great at what he does!
We've all been watching: His promos suck, his in-ring work is shit, and the only thing anyone has ever been interested in him doing is tagging in his brother.
Jim telling the truth is "seeding dissension"?
How many concussions is too many?
Jeez, Jim, haven’t sold my soul, I’m sticking to my principles & telling truths. I feel morally obligated to do right by my friends, altho that’s probably foreign to you. I earn a check because I’m great at what I do & still employable. Keep on seeding dissension amongst fans
I am starting a new company, called PodcastTwo.
Please join!
We don't have cash, or even stock.
However, we have the finest swampland real estate crypto can buy, and we want you to be our partners and have some of it.
We can build it up together.
We'll hold the money.
The ratings trend continues.
The Continental Classic is a complete bomb that only appeals to the most devoted AEW fans. They are lucky they didn't dip into the 600s with this week's show.
AEW is running out of time for a course correction.
The tv / booking is all-time bad.
New Experience later today.
Clips early on YouTube.
It isn't a double standard if the booking actually works, it's a standard.
TODAY! TONITE! SOON! WOW!
Tally Ho!
Are you trying to convince yourself? Your work is shit. Stay home, no one will care.
You seem much more toxic than I am, with a track record to back it up.
I'm better at what I do than you are at whatever it is you are still trying to do.
- Mr. Asshole, to you
Is this for your new WrestleCrap column?
Seriously, be less concerned with your favorite podcaster saying it, and more concerned about the locker room knowing it and believing it. You have star power, but a track record of the worst ideas & taking care of only yourself.
“I mean is there a surprise in any industry when it happens? And really, when you look at it, it’s not illegal. He had an affair, paid the lady off to not say anything, and moved on.”
- Chris Jericho on Vince McMahon
@GreatBrianLast
When the Vince allegations first came out, I always thought it was weird just how much Jerich no sold or downplayed the seriousness of it. Makes sense
Look at this clown clutching his pearls.
If Omega was a man, he's cut bait with Don Callis for the way he treated women behind the scenes in Impact. But, you know, bad things only count when they're done by people who criticize your bad in-ring emoting.
Is it finally time to assume some responsibility and dial the online persona back a bit? Your low IQ man children have evolved from parroting your comments to actually acting out in (attempted) violence.
New Experience tonight.
Clips throughout the day on YouTube.
Feeds are being worked on right now. Updates to come.
It's time to crawl up on top of my hot ass wife
.....damn, she went to the grocery store.
Tally Ho!
Drive Thru won't be out today, but I will likely release a few segments early on YouTube later tonight, including Jim reviewing the CM Punk media scrum.
Tally Ho!
Proud to say that Arcadian Vanguard has always been a leader in publicly calling Hannibal a loser.
Something to remember about idiots: they are always their own worst enemy.
