  1. I don't think Indi is ready for primetime but she's a good lackey for Candice.

    Both Rhea/Toni and Kyle/Dunne ruled. I hope they pull the trigger on Kyle winning the title leading to Cole/Kyle at Takeover Mania.

    Rust Taylor is awesome. I've only seen him once in the ROH Pure tourney but him, Thatcher and Bivens have potential.

    THIS. IS. AWWWWWEEEEEEEEEESOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMME. And on about a dozen different levels too. It could even go in BLOOD SUCKING FREAKS because of the end! (Somebody is gonna have to tell me who the guy they beat down is, btw.) If CMLL Japan was this good I want to see every last match.

    If I remember right, that's Mr Cacao. He's a promoter/wrestler who has had a few CMLL matches. He used to bring over a lot of CMLL guys to work his promotion.

  3. Robert Stone vs Shotzi's tank is such a great feud. Stone taking the bump off the steps when she ran into it made me laugh.

    Roddy/Reed/Gargano wasn't that bad. Right man won.

    Main event was the usual HBK public theater exhibition. I still like Kross and him vs Lee should be a good match.

  4. The next content dump is more ECW. I think it's the supershows from 96 on. Not sure which ones.

    I'm watching the 3/4/89 episode of WCW. I'm really surprised they put this on the netowrk. It looks like it came from a 6th generation VHS dub from RF video quality wise. What are some of the other shows that are in bad quality on the netowrk. I know some of the World Class episodes and ECW supershows are in bad quality. I can just imagine how bad the Florida shows are if they won't even put them on the network.

  5. Lots of indie shows are starting up this weekend in Florida. Mostly in South Florida. ARW is doing a show in coccoa Beach with Gangrel and Wes Briscoe. USA pro was supposed to have a show in July but it got cancelled because the building they usually run in, The Orlando Armory got hit hard by a Tornado that hit town last weekend. I hope they can fix the Armory up cause that place has a lot of wrestling history. FCW/NXT used to run that building with Kelly Kelly once drawing 1200 people in the middle of the summer in a building with no AC. I remember seeing the Bucks and Eita vs T-Hawk there at a Evolve show.

  6. Drake/Fantasma was good. Drake sold like  a bastard for Fantasma. Glad he got his job back but HHH coming out as the good cop to give him a new contract is going to piss the usual people off. Wish Drake would have won because Fantasma winning came off like a afterthought.

    Great to see Breezongo back.

  7. I really enjoyed the end to the battle royal. It shouldn't happen right away, maybe even a few years but a Jungle Boy/Orange cassidy match/feud is going to be good I think.

    Rebel adds a lot to the Britt Baker act. Britt is the best act in AEW by far. Hate to see her injured but it might actually add to the character.

    Final segment was pretty rough. Tyson was corpsing pretty badly. Especially when he couldn't rip his shirt off. I hope the people that had a fit about the NXT guys running in on Raw are equally as outraged at the AEW guys doing it. I get they test everyone and all but good lord they basically spit in the face of social distrancing every week more and more.

  8. I'm sure most of the people that watch WWE these days know the story and If they didn't stop watching before Dark Side, they won't now.

    With AJ going to Smackdown, I'm guessing Baron will be headed to Raw. Seems like a fair enough trade I guess.

    I really enjoyed the mixed tag. Best Mandy has looked in a while and even Ziggler was decent.

    That main event was fun as hell. I am sure many will question a choice of a big crowd brawl in your first show with a crowd given all that's going on. I won't go there - I just enjoyed the match. Sammy made that golf cart look like Brock Lesnar on that bump. Holy shit son. Ending image was top notch.

    The match was fun and proved Sammy is the best guy on tv these days. Right up there with Asuka.  That bump off the golf cart was nuts.

    With that said, I'll go there. That match was a bad look. I get that they tested everyone and the test came back negative apparently. It's a bad look to have a lot of people that close together not have masks on. Some did but people like Billy Gunn and Hager did not. If they are going to have guys just be around ringside without masks on, they should just go ahead and let fans in since it's Florida.

  11. Yeah If you don't like Jarrett, you probably aren't going to like that series. That is Savio with Jeff. Just glad you watched the match @Smelly McUgly or tried to

    I watched both Jericho/Juvi matches. They mostly had the same formula but I liked 4/20 way better than 4/6

    Best thing about the 4/6 match is Jericho name dropping Electric avenue in his prematch promo. So Jericho was feuding with Prince Iaukea and Dean Malenko at the same time. Juvi seemed a little off but Jericho held it together. In a match that's about 5 minutes, we get a boring chant, about 5 nearfalls that the crowd bites on and I don't think they even locked up once. Finish is pretty weak where Jericho has Juvi in the liontamer but a good two minutes until Prince Iaukea comes out and throws in the towel. Like why the hell would he do that? I know he's facing Jericho at the ppv but that's still a stupid finish.

    4/20 is shorter but the crowd is into it the whole time. Juvi is more on and even does a dive to the outside landing right on Jericho's head. Again, Juvi gets put in the liontamer but this time, he doesn't tap and just passes out giving Jericho the win. Decent tv match which puts over Juvi in a loss. Apparently he feuded with the flock after this.

    The finish of the 4/6 match sucked but it wasn't a awful match. 4/20 was better. Now I need to watch the 6/1 match they had where Jericho wins again. Oh wcw.

  12. I for one am glad Jinder is back. I'm interested in seeing what him vs Drew will look like after the Seth feud. At least they have a backstory.

    Liv Morgan should beat Becky for the title. Or maybe Nia after Nia beats Becky.

    Zelina/Andrade vs Garza/Charly is going to rule.

  13. I'm guessing they already booked Drake when he got fired and he just didn't want to burn bridges. I doubt they rehired him back. Hope I'm wrong.

    Good episode tonight. I like how they are trying different things. Like Dexter Lumis teaming with the Dream and heel Candice. She cut a way better promo than her husband.

    My favorite thing was Tom Phillips saying "Adam Cole got pinned by NXT champion Adam Cole". How did they not edit that out? Unless the commentary is live?
