Think I'm going to risk covid for it. My friend mentioned going to his place outside of Seattle and watching Wrestle Kingdom afterwards.
Sounds promising for AEW.
Still won't embed(pc did)and I can't use next/previous page buttons 99% of the time.

Like I said in the dynamite thread, they gotta stop with the pre tournament angles that makes either the finalists or winner so obvious. It sucks and Khan seems to do it most of the time.

He maybe can even hit the Luthersault now too.

My favourite is Holmes hitting Berbick with the Rough Ryder from on top one car onto a hood of another car. Not even Takada got that kind of work in on Berbick.
Seriously, wrestling can't even come close to touching the Holmes/Berbick drama.

Holland even wearing the Burberry shirt and hat in a clear nod to MJF. Don't work yourself into a shoot, brother.
In truth, that's a whole lotta nothing.

The old UWF and ROH belts look similar so it works out. Speaking of belts, does anyone know why they went back to the simple looking ROH Title belts instead of using the more fancy and ornate ones they had up until the sale?
Seems like Tony wants to connect back to the glory days of ROH.

Jericho is great on Commentary- he truly is the BWEBSEE
How great was that Caprice shutdown a minute into the main event? "Have you noticed everybody else is using their inside voices?" True. Think Jericho could be pretty great on commentary if he took it down a few notches, which he seemed to do after that. He was way better.

That crowd was dead tired after Dynamite. Felt like the opener held back as a result but it still had some wild stuff like the tope counter cutter and the finish. Gotta rewatch the main event w/o commercials but it was a good, solid hard hitting affair from what I saw but I was making dinner.

Oh, FFS. The EVPs are still the EVPs. They're not going anywhere.
Omega's deal is up in February.

Lost in all the hullaballoo was how disappointing the ATHENA/Jade match was. How long was Jade just bent over in the ring while Athena was dealing with the Baddies outside? It kind of feels like her progress has stalled.
It has but it was still her best match and an interesting approach with Athena pouring it on right away. I liked it despite Cargill plateauing. She's still so new to the game it's not always going to be great progress.

I'm afraid Chimaev will control Holland for 25 minutes. Here's to a wild brawl instead.

Saw somebody on twitter post something a little over the top along the lines of "if they lose Punk, they lose their top draw. If they lose the Elite, they lose their identity." Sure, their name is in the brand name and all but li'l dramatic.
When AEW was announced, it was basically my dream scenario. My favourite active wrestler heading a big promotion with a mainstream tv deal with the best tag team of the last ten years and it's funded by a DVDVR poster. Cody still didn't have the tattoo and in many ways he was the MVP of year one. If the Elite leave, I'll have a hard time following with the same passion I originally did. I mean, it was always inevitable they'd leave eventually, but just how soon it was possible jumped way up, especially after Cody's departure.
The roster is so deep that they'll be fine in the long run regardless of what happens and who leaves. They have guys like Miro, Andrade, Pac, and others that have largely been peripheral to the main event scene that could finally really move up with the likes of Danielson and Moxley. Khan's attention to investing in young wrestlers will pay off for years and allows him to survive something like Cody, Punk, and The Elite leaving potentially in the span of a year. But my investment will drop massively. Just anywhere but WWE as a landing spot, man. Please. I beg.

The way things are going with Kota and NJPW, if they can find the right money guy we will end up with All Golden Lovers Wrestling with only two wrestlers on the roster but still having four hour shows with the main event being a 120 minute time limit two out of three falls match with the third fall being like, I dunno, a game of Super Smash Brothers.
Heaven.

Significantly better card and I'll actually watch that.

At least now that the locker room lines are becoming clearer I can make sense of why Kyle O'Reilly was positioned the way he was in the company.
What do you mean by that?

No, they need to be needled at by shithouse Jim Gray about judging or their next fight!

I'm going to spontaneously combust if Omega leaves next year. My spirit will cease if he signs with WWE.

With the idea being they are trying to sell out a 20k seater for the show and lost their biggest draw and 3 of their bigger draws, I don't see how it isn't Moxley vs. Danielson, allowing Bryan to avenge losses to Page, Jericho, and Moxley on the way to transition champion status. Sammy or Darby vs. Danielson would be cool for a normal Dynamite, and I hope we see both of those matches, particularly the Darby match, but they aren't selling 20k tickets.

Seems like real sports is full of double standards for the stars and the rank and file. Could Barry Bonds have gotten a bench player cut or traded during his peak with the Giants? Did Michael Irvin get fired over the barber shop incident?
That's just how things are, fairly or unfairly.
What. The. Fuck. I had never heard of this as a kid somehow. That whole story is madness. So long as you have money you can truly get away with anything in certain systems. Horseplay, lmao.

PFL picking up some beauties that could thrive in less crowded divisions lately.

I love how we aren't even bringing up the only-barely-evitable Swerve vs. Lee singles match, which will definitely be a gimmick-filled and highspot-CZW-style affair if Swerve has any say in the matter. But that's a long ways out.
Do you think it's that long away? Path to it happening at Full Gear seems straight forward to me. They lose to The Acclaimed in NYC after some slight miscommunication or disagreement over tactics, Swerve fully commits to heeldom by attacking Lee, and they're off to the races.
Wish we'd see Lee be a li'l meaner and go heel for a while tbh, but the above is the seemingly obvious path forward they've established and should be great too.

Solid show but I demand Miro.
