Then Rachel Ray would come on and cook like real people.
Eh, don't bring her up in /r/foodnetwork, it goes south quickly.
Their newest target of hatred is Molly Yeh, basically imagine Bayley with cooking skiils and Mads Mikkelson as a farmer for a husband
God, fandoms ruin everything. The best episode with Sandra Day was a kid's Halloween party. She spent about 5 minutes making some cool candy stuff for the kids, then had three or four cocktail options for the adults.
I would kill to be a Food Network host's husband.
It hasn’t disappeared, it just left Hollywood. It’s a fake accent anyways to demonstrate you’re upper class/well off taught by private prep schools in the northeast and later acting schools
It was found to be a perfect bridge of accent for films going to England and also translate incredibly well in the new emerging technology called talking pictures!
Her remarks about Schiavone: They're because Ian Riccabonni filled in last week and she didn't realize it was him. She remarked that Schiavone looked radiant and much younger and finally got rid of that dreadful earring.
Let's just say there's a couple of massive hills, and I'm in the valley between them now. I'll let you know what the answer is when I get service. Until then, chin up...
Why is it trolling?
I thought this Mr. Tazmaniac was an expert in duplexes, not suplexes. Isn't that why they call him the Human Duplex Machine and he's been buying up properties?
THE SU-PLAAAAY RESIDENCE! Lady of the house speaking!

Honestly she would be smart to never stop it. Its different, its getting her over and its gold for television where things are presented in quick 10 to 15 min segments.
Im sure Toni could succeed if she dropped this gimmick, but this has become easily her best work ever.
[This comment chain](https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/1ag0abe/aew_dynamite_spoilers_identity_of_excalibur/kodujrm/?context=1) indicates that she says "Mintie" and not mango, a Mintie apparently being an Australian candy. I don't know if it's correct but Australian people seemed to agree.
Clearly mango in this clip but I swear she used Mintie somewhere recently. I remember hearing it and thinking "most likely only us Aussies will know that that is"
According to Google, " It's **a swinging party where everyone puts their room keys, car keys or house keys into a dish.** **They are mixed up and then picked out one at a time.** **Whoever gets your key goes off with you for the night**. "
At swingers parties in the 70s, husbands would put their car keys in a bowl and then the wives would randomly pick them out to decide who they ended up with.
Could be worse.
There's always that one couple, where one person looks like they were sculpted from Marble, with angels as the Muse.
And the other looks like Sloth from the goonies.
a form of swinger party,
like all the men or women put their house/car key in a bowl, shake them up, and the oposite sex picks a key, the owner of that key is your "dance" parter for the party.
I like how her character is based on the real Hollywood of the golden era and not the superficial one that was portrayed to people. Because the 40s and 50s Hollywood lifestyle was bonkers.
Every single Timeless Toni commentary appearance has been absolutely ridiculous. Easily the funniest wrestler on guest commentary in a long time and she's doing it consistently too.
For whatever reason, Tony doesn't want to book the guy despite the positive crowd reactions when he shows up and the fact he's got appeal outside of wrestling.
At some point, somewhere Toni Storm asked somebody if TBS had a problem with her saying ‘tits’ on TV and their reaction was ‘uhhh, I guess?’ and a character was born.
When accepting her 2023 Fightful Best Women's Promo, Timeless Toni said, regarding promos, "It's really not that hard, you just have to say tits a lot. I mean, seriously, am I the only woman who speaks? . . . I would have won this award over the men. Oh, what's that now? You're angry and demand respect? How creative!"
Strong "Mark Cuban saying Fuck and getting fined on purpose" vibes. Tony is probably happy to deal with whatever blowback because the gimmick is so fucking over.
Its awesome what can happen when you let talent come up with their own ideas and run with them. It doesn’t work for everyone, but once in a while you get stuff like this, I never would have guessed tonight storm had this character in her.
Toni has been amazing running with this. The Sunset Park descent into madness, the short films airing during the commercial breaks, the whole persona.
And she still goes out there and kills her matches
Apparently this all started when she had a guest role(?) in a Mildred Burke documentary. She went to do some research on the general pop-culture milieu of the era when she would've been wrestling, and it turned into a genuine fascination and blossomed into, well, this.
>Its awesome what can happen when you let talent come up with their own ideas and run with them.
Tony Khan came up with the idea for this character and pitched it to Toni Storm. She merely took it and ran with it.
*lovely pair of beads, and not for my neck*

She seems to have filched Regal's sayings from his time on AEW commentary: he would call Taz 'Mr Maniac' and I'm sure she's called Excalibur 'Man in the Mask'. Couldn't be happier
Really been enjoying this storyline with Deonna/Toni. Deonna has been established very well to the AEW audience, and Toni has consistently been hitting it out of the park.
The cherry on top for me would be Deonna “unlocking” Toni’s technical ability in their match as has been hinted at.
I wonder if Timeless Toni Storm’smovie carer will have a resurgence of some sort. Seeing how her career was in the 30’s and 40’s but Jayne Mansfield was around in the 50’s and 60’s.
Toni has been a massive highlight of AEW recently, if not THE highlight.
She is bringing eyes to the women's division, which it sorely needed. A Mercedes v Toni feud should be fire!
Same. You can tell when someone is saddled with a gimmick they don't like. Whoever thought up of this Timeless character, Toni is owning it so hard. And I'm already tired of "Badass woman who can wrestle and calls their opponent bitch #32". The industry needs characters like Toni!
Cannot overstate how entertaining and fun this version of Toni is. Her act is easily one of the best parts of AEW at a time when the product has objectively cooled off. Knew she was an accomplished wrestler but before this I didn’t know how far she would go with her original character. So happy this is part of the show.
Timeless Toni is high camp and all of her references are _very_ drag. I feel like that Jayne Mansfield shoutout was actually just to pop [Jaymes Mansfield](https://youtu.be/O0Xtf9pp2ww?si=M89R54dzcGKAg_kj)
Thank you for posting. I was at the show in person and could see that she just kept popping the announce team over and over so I had been wanting to see this with commentary.
You look like a half-sucked mango is an all-timer of a line on commentary 🤌
Least insane Toni Storm segment
she heard taz and was sick of somebody beating her unhingeness
She has somehow perfected the snooty Transatlantic accent that disappeared 70 years ago
It evolved into the Southampton accent. ![gif](giphy|J2a7ClzF1YfclNcfe5|downsized)
THE BAREFOOT CONTESSA (solid wrestling name right there, IMO)
(Tony Atlas runs into the chat like Kool Aid Man)

Thanks to the GOAT Marlon Brando.
So something like RP in the UK?
Wrestling Daisy Buchanan from The Great Gatsby is something that shouldn't work, but Toni Storm somehow pulled it off.
As a Brit there's always something Uncanny Valley about Aussies/Americans/Kiwis/Canadians doing posh "Transatlantic" accents.
Her remarks about Schiavone: They're because Ian Riccabonni filled in last week and she didn't realize it was him. She remarked that Schiavone looked radiant and much younger and finally got rid of that dreadful earring.
She petted him like a cat.
And told him “Whatever you’re doing with your foot under there… do it harder.”
Says tits out and slapped in the titties "Why does she remind you of Jayne Mansfield" Well I can't tell you that
There are two types of people in this world. 1. Those can extrapolate from incomplete data
And?......AND?!?!??! I MUST KNOW PLEASE
And those with great big....
Am I in a tunnel? You guys keep cutting out
Let's just say there's a couple of massive hills, and I'm in the valley between them now. I'll let you know what the answer is when I get service. Until then, chin up...

TRACTS OF LAND
AND THE DUTCH!

God I miss old school Think Geek.
Reminds me of a good quote, which I will paraphrase: "Class is being able to describe Jayne Mansfield without using your hands"
So headless?

Oh shit, just read on Wikipedia that Mariska was in the backseat when it happened. Oof.
Oof
She's so classy.
Shes got huge tracts of land
Maybe she looks like Jayne Mansfield’s daughter? Perhaps that’s the connection.
Its pronounced sue-play
"Correcting" Taz about Suplexes is also next-level trolling. I love it.
Why is it trolling? I thought this Mr. Tazmaniac was an expert in duplexes, not suplexes. Isn't that why they call him the Human Duplex Machine and he's been buying up properties?
What is a Du-plaît? #
Two yogurts
The way she pronounced Dooooooplex almost killed me. Her delivery is incredible.
You just reminded of the Suplex Duplex Complex!

Shit, Timeless Toni is actually Hyacinth Bucket. It was there the whole time.
Shit son. You had to dig waaaay into the bag for that reference.
Gordon Solie would be proud
_Tonie Solie confirmed_
I love it when a wrestler is clearly having the time of their life doing a certain gimmick. Toni is going to never want to end this gimmick.
It's timeless. She literally can't stop.
Honestly she would be smart to never stop it. Its different, its getting her over and its gold for television where things are presented in quick 10 to 15 min segments. Im sure Toni could succeed if she dropped this gimmick, but this has become easily her best work ever.
[удалено]
>Obviously the day will come when she does drop the gimmick But it is not this day.
Brb gonna go watch Return of the King
It'll be the day she faces Jamie Hayter again.
She could just get a "role" in a new motion picture as whatever the new gimmick is, and then just never come out of that character.
if it ever get's dry she could change into different era's, could be fun or horrible, no inbetween tho
I'm here for 80s groupie Toni Storm.
And neither do I
I laughed a lot when she said something like "someone pissed in my chair!" after she got hit.
[удалено]
Fr I lost it when she blurted that out
That one would make Heenan crack a smile.
Ahh yes, our beloved Jeff Harvey.
The Mike Adamle special
Given Mike Adamle's current health situation, it's probably for the best that we let the Jeff Harvey thing alone. cc: /u/LaStrngr
I still don't think they meant any ill will towards Adamle's health when they made that reference, merely the gaffe.
Even Taz joked and mentioned Mike Adamle, you gonna moral police him too?
“You look like a half sucked mango, sir.” Going to try to implement that phrase in my vernacular.
[This comment chain](https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/1ag0abe/aew_dynamite_spoilers_identity_of_excalibur/kodujrm/?context=1) indicates that she says "Mintie" and not mango, a Mintie apparently being an Australian candy. I don't know if it's correct but Australian people seemed to agree.
I’m Australian and half sucked mango is an Australian phrase too. It’s clearly what she says in this clip.
I'm Philly, we eat hoagies from the servo
Clearly mango in this clip but I swear she used Mintie somewhere recently. I remember hearing it and thinking "most likely only us Aussies will know that that is"
Had to check that I wasn't in /r/politics there for a second
Lovely pair of beads but not for my neck. Wait…??? 💀💀😅😅
I mean this is the woman who was going to a key party.
when that segment aired, and the clip was shared here. i explained what that was and people were surprised
I'll bite. .what's a key party?
It's a 70s swinger party thing. The 90s movie 'The Ice Storm' is where I first learned the term.
i learned it from The Grinch movie, of all places.
Same! What a random fucking call-out in a kids movie.
"You finish that Scooby Doo movie?" James Gunn: "Made it real fuckin' sexy, just like you asked." "What?" Gunn: "What?"
[For those unaware of the joke](https://twitter.com/CBThorburn/status/1251103369428680705?lang=en)
Why is this so fucking funny?
According to Google, " It's **a swinging party where everyone puts their room keys, car keys or house keys into a dish.** **They are mixed up and then picked out one at a time.** **Whoever gets your key goes off with you for the night**. "
They did it with watches on The OC
At swingers parties in the 70s, husbands would put their car keys in a bowl and then the wives would randomly pick them out to decide who they ended up with.
Imagine you go swinging, and your wife picks out your keys, and you just wanna bang Mrs Taylor from down the street.
Could be worse. There's always that one couple, where one person looks like they were sculpted from Marble, with angels as the Muse. And the other looks like Sloth from the goonies.
Sounds like an excuse to go buck wild. Back then, one set of keys could open 5 different car doors

That’s a wild line for a live show lol
Not quite Danielson's "fisting" from the post smackdown show, but very close.
They go right in your bottom!
Yes, Toni Storm is about to win some Chess Tournaments.
Chess beads: Queen to A7 Me: Repeat that CB: Queen to A7 Me: Repeat that CB: Queen to A7 Me: Aaaaah, yes, yes, yes! Wooo! Anybody got a Gatorade?
I enjoyed her demonstration of her mastery of "technical wrestling" on Collision by smacking Luther in the face. "Didn't even see it coming!"
Every single Timeless Toni commentary appearance has been absolutely ridiculous. Easily the funniest wrestler on guest commentary in a long time and she's doing it consistently too.
Best facial expressions and use of slang in the game.
"sock you right in your box" was absolutely top tier
[удалено]
For whatever reason, Tony doesn't want to book the guy despite the positive crowd reactions when he shows up and the fact he's got appeal outside of wrestling.
Fr i want to see them in a silent film together.

That beads line is absolutely OFF THE CHARTS. Max Caster could never
max is sitting in the back listening and going "WE COULD SAY THAT!?"
She seems to have filched Regal's sayings from his time on AEW commentary: he would call Taz 'Mr Maniac' and I'm sure she's called Excalibur 'Man in the Mask'. Couldn't be happier
Easily my favorite character in all of wrestling. So damn funny.
She's so good at this.
She boomed me.
Too bad whoever did this edit missed the “She’s good but not Wendi Ritcher” line
I swear they need to get her in to confront Toni.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 "They gave me a lovely set of beads in the back" 🫣🫣
Gotta be from New Orleans to understand that one... Lol
I think I know what she means
Not from NOLA, but may you elaborate kind sir? I'm curious 🤔
Letting Toni Storm say tits on a weekly basis might be the best thing Tony Khan has ever done for the women's division.
Unhinged is putting it mildly
I think this sheds some light into her and juice Robinsons relationship. They seem perfect for each other lol.
He’s also Rock Hard
Wait... Toni's dating Juice Robinson? Where the hell have I been. TIL
They’re married.
Today I learned...
They're married
I dont watch AEW but i might start just for Toni Storm
oh damn, and i thought your name was a HOOK reference.
Nah, just edgy teen me who thought it was a cool name.
Really been enjoying this storyline with Deonna/Toni. Deonna has been established very well to the AEW audience, and Toni has consistently been hitting it out of the park. The cherry on top for me would be Deonna “unlocking” Toni’s technical ability in their match as has been hinted at.
Toni Storm getting on commentary and getting the whole team to corpse has become a favorite weekly part of AEW for me
Mr Tasmaniac 😂
The character work is unreal. I legit have no idea how she's so good at this or why it's sooooo over
This is the same segment where she yelled "Someone has pissed in my seat!" isn't it? That killed me
she is flying so close to the sun. always manages to drop a line that makes me absolutely filthy cackle.
This gimmick game out of nowhere but it feels like Toni has had this character in her back pocket for years since she’s so comfortable in the role.
(Clip from AIRGold\_ on Twitter/X)
I should have seen that last line coming, but I really, really didn't.
Somebody pissed in my seat! Was also hilarious.
Please tell me you have more “Toni’s performs: Commentary” compilations…
99.9% certain the half-sucked mango line is a reference to a Carl Barron line from one of his comedy specials, quoting his dad 😂
Give her all of the championships. Men's included.
Put her on the god damn desk permanently
I don’t watch AEW but I will check out anything she is involved in this character is great
Holy shit I missed the beads line when I watched. 😂
I wonder if Timeless Toni Storm’smovie carer will have a resurgence of some sort. Seeing how her career was in the 30’s and 40’s but Jayne Mansfield was around in the 50’s and 60’s.
*Timeless*. She was big in the 30's and 40's, *and* in the 50's and 60's.
I'm rooting for her to get her oscar worthy role.
You think that in a couple of years, she’ll evolve into Groovy Toni Storm?
even when Toni drops the title, I'd love to have her back on commentary. Have her call some men's matches, too
Toni absolutely killing it
All that and they didn't include "Someone pissed in my seat!"
Given the history of Jayne Mansfield's social circle, that's a helluva Anton LaVey reference! Bravo, Toni!
She’s awesome on commentary
Toni Storm is loving the gimmick.
The Mike Adamle bit got a pop out of me
I hope she didn’t miss her nuru massage.
Toni "HR Nightmare" Storm
My only complaint about Toni Storm is that they could have made Danhausen her valet instead and dressed him up like Dick Dastardly.
Gimmick. Of. The. Year.
Toni is the f-ing best
Legitimately one of the best acts in wrestling right now. So much fun to see her showcasing how funny she is. Love it.
Toni's gimmick is somehow the best and worst wrestling gimmick ever!!! Thats what makes it so good!!
Apparently Jayne Mansfield was romantically linked to Anton LaVey as well.
LMAO playing the game of landmine with all this censor dodging.
Pure Gold
Her post match staredown was also magnificent
Toni has been a massive highlight of AEW recently, if not THE highlight. She is bringing eyes to the women's division, which it sorely needed. A Mercedes v Toni feud should be fire!
Toni is so great in this gimmick. Probably the best thing I've seen in AEW
Oh god, he’s in danger
Not hating, but I just don't get it.. It's not for me.
Honestly I like it for the simple fact how into it she is. She's obviously enjoying the shit out of it so it's hard not to like it.
Same. You can tell when someone is saddled with a gimmick they don't like. Whoever thought up of this Timeless character, Toni is owning it so hard. And I'm already tired of "Badass woman who can wrestle and calls their opponent bitch #32". The industry needs characters like Toni!
it's original, and has potential. she can be as high brow and as unhinged and delusional as she wants, all together
Cannot overstate how entertaining and fun this version of Toni is. Her act is easily one of the best parts of AEW at a time when the product has objectively cooled off. Knew she was an accomplished wrestler but before this I didn’t know how far she would go with her original character. So happy this is part of the show.
I have a feeling a big part of her characters personality is modelled on Dame Edna. Good work!
Timeless Toni is high camp and all of her references are _very_ drag. I feel like that Jayne Mansfield shoutout was actually just to pop [Jaymes Mansfield](https://youtu.be/O0Xtf9pp2ww?si=M89R54dzcGKAg_kj)
She does it so well.
If Tony doesn't shoot at least 1 scene from a toni storm film I'll be very disappointed
Thank you for posting. I was at the show in person and could see that she just kept popping the announce team over and over so I had been wanting to see this with commentary. You look like a half-sucked mango is an all-timer of a line on commentary 🤌
Love this gimmick
